Amazing trip!
Reviewed By Bbdslp99 - Amherst Ohio | Traveled to Scotland | Europe
The trip was to Scotland and Ireland, and I think we saw every bit of both countries! Kim did a wonderful job of coordinating and planning this trip. She took suggestions in the account and modified as needed. Kim is a conscientious travel planner and will happily plan a trip for anyone! It was a pleasure getting to know her as well as the best trip of my life! Highly recommended!

Amazing Panama Canal !!!
Reviewed By Carol - Odessa Florida | Traveled to Panama Canal | Panama | Central America
From start to finish Kimberly was there to guide three separate reservations of family all traveling together. She was very patient and extremely knowledgeable on the cruise questions we had. This is just one of many our family has booked with her as she makes the process very easy and adds interesting information regarding ports being visited.

Excellent personalized service
Reviewed By Birdbrain - Lorain OH | Traveled to United Kingdom | Europe
We have toured once with Kim through Armadillo Travel Adventures and are currently planning our second adventure! The planning process and payment processes were highly organized and seamless the first time and are proving to be the same this time. There is excellent and frequent communication about itinerary and any changes to it. She also demonstrates flexibility with modifications on several occasions, and that was appreciated. Once we were on our trip to the UK (17 days) absolutely everything went off without a hitch. There were no issues or problems with any of the scheduled transportation or tours. Again, communication was excellent. Can’t wait for our second adventure to Italy! And hopefully to Eastern Europe in the near future! 10/10 recommend.
Kimberly Hilsabeck responded
"Thank you so much! I truly appreciate you booking your adventures with me. Cheers to new adventures!"
