Great Trip to Grand Canyon
Reviewed By GeneGart - NYC, NY | Traveled to Grand Canyon | Arizona | USA
Booked travel and accommodations to the Grand Canyon and surrounding areas through a referral to use Andrea Krigsman for our trip. Stayed at the Kachina Inn in the park which was AMAZING. Hotel was great but the views were exceptional. Flew Delta out of JFK and rented with Budget. As suggested, we drove to Sedona and stayed at the Aiden. We went to Page, AZ to see Horseshoe Bend which was also amazing and a also couple of other highlights in the area. Stayed 2 nights at the Courtyard at Lake Powell which was perfect for us. Andrea, thanks for putting together the perfect vacation!

Trip to Amsterdam
Reviewed By RFMan - New York, NY | Traveled to Amsterdam | Netherlands | Europe
This trip was for myself and wife. Andrea understood our desire for a short active art and history based vacation to a European city where English would be no problem. We ended up in a great hotel which was very clean, reasonably priced and in the museum district. Staff were very helpful. This was one of the best trips we have taken!

France and Spain
Reviewed By Nancy - Old Lyme, Conn. | Traveled to France | Europe
Andrea helped us plan a family trip for my family of 5. We wanted to do both the South of France and the coast of Spain. She helped us plan out our days and book our flights appropriately. We started in Barcelona, we had a day of touring around the city, had a tour of the Sagrada Familia, we visited a few museums, and had a wonderful time trying all the different foods. We decided to rent a car for our ride up to France and stopped on the way at the Dali Museum, which was such a good call on Andrea's part. When we got to France we stopped in Narbonne for a night, which had beautiful architecture and my family had the chance to walk around and enjoy the oldness of the city. Our final destination was Marseille, which I had been to before but my family has not, and we saw the old parts of the city, visited some old friends, and had reservations made at a beautiful restaurant to enjoy our last evening there. Everyone had a really great time.

April in Amsterdam
Reviewed By Margot - Greenwich, Connecticut | Traveled to Amsterdam | Netherlands | Europe
My boyfriend and I just spent 2 weeks in April in the Netherlands. My partner had a work event in the city of Utrecht that we wanted to plan our trip around and it had great timing for so many things going on. We spent our first week in Utrecht because of the conference my partner needed to attend and Andrea made it really easy to entertain myself while he worked. I did a food tour around the city, tried bitterballen, ate at FEBO, did a walking tour, and had a tour of a local brewery that had really cool different beers. My boyfriend found it easy to also find me at the end of every day since it was so easy to get around the city and we were staying at an adorable place right in the center. Utrecht was such a nice and underrated city to be in, so much quieter than Amsterdam ended up being, and so beautiful. Our second week we spent in Amsterdam to be closer to see the flower festival thats outside the city. Doing a day to see the flowers was perfect, after the flower festival we ended

Amazing trip to Vietnam
Reviewed By Matthew - Wilton, CT | Traveled to Hanoi | Vietnam | East and Southeast Asia
I've always wanted to visit Vietnam, and the perfect opportunity came up back in March to plan it with my family. I have a 12 year old son and wanted to find something we could all enjoy together, but I didn't know where to really start. My son and I both really enjoy history, so Andrea booked us time at the Hao Lo prison museum, which gives insights to what the prisoners experienced during the Vietnam war, and the Vietnam Military history museum. Both were so incredible and my son really enjoyed how informative they were. Andrea also booked us a Ha Long Bay tour where we got to see the beautiful scenery of Ha Long Bay, visit a few islands with their own history, do a little kayaking, and have some great food. We did so much on our trip and had an unforgettable time. Thank you so much.

An amazing time in Krabi and Koh Samui
Reviewed By Samantha K - Scarsdale, New York | Traveled to Koh Samui | Thailand | East and Southeast Asia
We had an amazing time in Thailand over the holidays. Andrea helped us plan 3 weeks over Christmas and New Years for my daughters, husband, and I. We're all beach people and knew we wanted a beachy getaway to relax, Andrea booked us a beautiful villa in Koh Samui right by Chaweng beach so we had the best view and ocean just a walk away. We booked a boat tour to see pink dolphins and went to pig island, did some snorkeling, and saw some beautiful waterfalls. The second half of our trip we went to Ao Nang in Krabi. We didn't stay as close to the beach this time around but closer to the night market. We loved how walkable the area was and how much there was to do. We did a gorgeous boat tour that took us to the most pristine islands we've ever had the pleasure of seeing with our own eyes and even took a boat for a day to Railay beach. We also booked a tour to see some of the sights inland. This included the tiger cave temple, which was an insane climb up but we're so glad we did it. We ha

had a great 2 weeks in japan!!
Reviewed By sidney - new rochelle, new york | Traveled to Japan | East and Southeast Asia
my daughter and i had the best time in japan. we've always dreamed about going and knew we wanted to visit tokyo and kyoto. we had been to south korea before this and were familiar with traveling around asia but we just wanted to make sure we did it right. we loved the guidance we got about where to visit, the different museums to check out, and the food we had to try. the highlight of our trip was going to see a live geisha show and a sumo wrestling match! andrea was super helpful with finding our hotels, and we even did a traditional homestay in kyoto. she suggested we end our trip by going to a onsen to relax before our flight and we loved it. thank you so much!!!

Barcelona
Reviewed By Denis - Danbury, Connecticut | Traveled to Barcelona | Spain | Europe
Had a great week in Barcelona. I needed help planning my trip because I had never been to europe before and didn't know where to start. Andrea was very accomedating, she understood the ins and outs of planning our trip and was a great help. She even knew the foods that we had to try while we were there. She made sure we had something to do every day, whether it was seeing the sagrada familia, visiting a museum, planning an adventure, or giving us a list of sights to walk by. We were never bored and loved every minute of our week abroad. thank you for making our first trip to europe one to remember

Lovely time on the Cote d'Azure
Reviewed By Katherine - New York City | Traveled to France | Europe
My partner and I were looking for a fun and romantic get away together that had sun, beach, and delicious food in France. We wanted a little adventure but mostly relaxation and she knew exactly what we meant. We were worried that we would be overloaded with stuff to do since she recommended so much, but it all worked out in the end.
We started our vacation with a few nights in Nice where we went to the Matisse museum, a day trip to Eze gardens, another day trip to Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, and had some amazing food at some restaurants she recommended. We then headed to the cute town of Sainte Maxime, just across the water from Saint Tropez. We didn't want to spend too much time there because it wasn't our style, but we thought 2 nights would be perfect for the day trip over, do a little shopping, and see the market. We then headed to the cute town of Hyeres. We stayed in a cute hotel at the top of the city and we were warned about the walk up but she wasn't kidding about how steep it was

Lots of biking in Holland
Reviewed By Susan T - White Plains | Traveled to Amsterdam | Netherlands | Europe
My husband and I love to bike and see nature and Holland has been on our bucket list for years, we just didn't know where to start with planning it. Lucky for us, Andrea knew exactly what to plan for us since she was so experienced with the region. We really wanted to see the major cities and sites (Amsterdam, the Hague, some windmills) but also wanted to see some lesser known stuff.
We started our trip in The Hague on Scheveningen beach. We saw the boardwalk there and acclimated to the new time zone while enjoying the scenic view before we hit the ground running with our 2 weeks of biking. The trams and buses seemed a little daunting to us when we first arrived, but google made everything easy to navigate. We got to check out the Mauritshuis museum in the center, the Escher Museum, and had some really good Indonesian food. Andrea had booked us some electric bikes for our trip after some discussion, which we didn't initially think we needed, but the wind in this country proved us othe

Amazing 3 weeks in The Netherlands
Reviewed By Kendall - Darien, Connecticut | Traveled to Netherlands | Europe
We just returned from an amazing 3-week trip to the Netherlands with our 7 y.o and 10 y.o, and it was the perfect mix of things to do for all of us!
When we were planning our trip, we were really concerned whether there would be enough for all of us to do. All we knew about Holland innitially were flowers and the reputation Amsterdam can have, but Andrea did a really good job working with us. She found flights that fit into both mine and my husbands schedules and budgets, and adorable hotels around the country for us to stay at that the kids also enjoyed.
The first we stayed in Amsterdam was near Vondelpark, which was ideal for the kids and for morning or evening walks. Andrea had planned trips the NEMO Science Museum and Artis Zoo which were great for the my sons. We did a canal cruise and a day trip to Zaanse Schans to see some old windmills.
Andrea also planned out a visit to Utrecht & the Efteling (basically European Disney). Utrecht felt less crowded than Amsterdam and had great
