Thanks, Kat!
Reviewed By Jeannie & Dan - North Carolina | Traveled to Danube | On the River | At Sea
Kathryn introduced me to river cruising with AMA Waterways. Now I'm hooked. She even advised me on what to expect, and gave me really helpful packing tips as well. She made the whole experience seamless and so easy. The free onboard gratuities certainly sweetened the deal.

Personal Touch
Reviewed By Remy - Bethesda, MD | Traveled to Balearic Islands | Spain | Europe
Kathryn took the time to understand exactly what I wanted from my cycle trip to Mallorca. She saved me time and a lot of headaches, arranged bike rental, transfers and a great hotel - even sent me gps tracks for some routes and hooked me up with local club rides.

An Ireland Honeymoon
Reviewed By Mark - Galway | Traveled to Ireland | Europe
The best vacation we've ever had. That's what my new wife and I agreed on at the end of our honeymoon. We were trying to figure out how we could stay. Kathryn listened to what we were hoping to do, got to know who we are, and went over and above working out details that she thought we'd enjoy. Visiting sauna's on the SW coast, touring the gorgeous Kylemore Abbey, and hiking were great. We'd recommend using Kathryn again!

Lisbon & The Azores
Reviewed By Brit60 - Washington, D.C. | Traveled to Portugal | Europe
Kathryn made our first trip to Portugal so much fun! She set up first class accommodations, including a historical B&B in the city center. We had several informative and fun tours, history and food in Lisbon, and whale watching in Sao Miguel. Her personal knowledge of the Azores gave us a relaxed daily itinerary while still seeing Sete Cidades, Ponta da Ferraria, Furnas - too many to list! She included some more intriguing local options, including a hike to Janela do Inferno. Amazing fun and active vacation made so easy with Kathryn's expertise. Planning a trip to Greece with Kathryn next!

Christmas Magic
Reviewed By Christmas Elf - Vienna, Virginia | Traveled to Rhine River | On the River | At Sea
After reading about European Christmas markets in the New York Times, I was intrigued and knew I had to experience this. But I didn't want to go through the hassle of figuring out where to go on my own. After talking through my interests and concerns with Kathryn, she recommended a cruise on the Rhine. Not only did we get to experience first hand multiple WONDERFUL Christmas markets, but we had terrific local guides and visited charming villages and cities I never would have thought to seek out. Kathryn was a huge help in getting us booked with Ama Waterways and helping us understand what to expect. It was a 100% stress-free, super relaxing and joy-filled vacation.
✓ I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
