Honeymoon Trip

Italy Corporate Trip
Reviewed By LaurenCarter - Indianapolis | Traveled to Sicily | Italy | Europe
Vic & Katie were invaluable for our most recent trip to Italy. Sure, I could have planned the trip without them but it wouldn't have been as good and I would've spent so much time and energy trying to decide what to do and where to go. I usually over-research things and end up with decision fatigue. My husband and I knew generally where we wanted to go but Katie & Vic made the magic happen. We encountered a few random hiccoughs over the course of our 2 week trip (none of which could've been prevented and none of which were Katie's fault) and anytime I reached out with an issue, Katie was available to help solve it. If you're thinking about using a travel agent, please do consider Vic's Vacations - they are fantastic!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Family Europe
Reviewed By ErinV - Indianapolis | Traveled to London | England | Europe
Katie was amazing. She was very responsive whenever we had an issue even though she was on vacation herself. All of the tours went smoothly and the hotels were wonderful. She built an itinerary that was well-rounded and provided a variety of activities that gave our family of five a taste of three countries, which is what I had hoped for. It was not an easy task, but she seemed to handle the logistics and planning with ease. The best part was the app. It was easy to navigate, always updated IRT and accessible which was a game changer for a European vacation. I HIGHLY recommend and I will use Vic's Vacations again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Portugal Mom and Daughter
Reviewed By Chez - USA | Traveled to Portugal | Europe
Katie from Vic’s Vacations came as a recommendation from a friend of mine. I wanted to plan a trip to Portugal with my mom and sister for my mom’s birthday and just didn’t have the bandwidth to do it myself. I gave Katie my very loose idea and she ran with it and planned a flawless trip. I explained to her how hands off I wanted to be and she took things into her own hands and delivered. I would highly recommend using her!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Family Italy Vacay
Reviewed By KimF - Texas | Traveled to Italy | Europe
Katie was amazing and so great to work with! She took the stress out of planning and did an incredible job with our family trip to Italy. She listened, paid attention to details and was available to talk or text anytime we needed her. Her attention to detail and quick response time were some of my favorite qualities. She’s friendly and you can tell she loves what she does. We will definitely be using her again!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    Ziplining in St Lucia

    St Lucia is such an incredible island - the mountain terrain, unique landscape and the pitons are breathtaking. I love exploring the jungle here! One excursion we did in February of 2025 was go ziplining through the trees of St Lucia! It was so exhilarating. We were picked up mid morning and made one other stop at a nearby resort before heading ...

    Snorkeling in Akumal with Turtles

    Mexico has so many excursions opportunities and one I love the most is swimming with sea turtles in their natural habitat! Akumal is unique situated between the Playa del Carmen and Tulum areas of Mexico as it has seagrass that turtles come to eat and munch on! I did this experience in November 2024. It was with a trusted excursion partner I boo...

    A Day Spent in Tuscany

    What's the best way to explore Tuscany in Italy? On vespa, of course! I did just that on my visit to Rome and Florence. Florence is the perfect gateway into Chianti, one of the best wine regions in Italy. I booked an amazing tour with my trusted guide while in Italy, and it was a trip highlight for us! I book it for many of my clients, and they ...
