Kristin was recommended to us as a travel planner by a friend-of-a-friend, and she was instrumental in making our two-week Italian trip a HUGE success! 

​

From our first meeting, it was clear that she’s an experienced traveler and she was able help us distill the overwhelming plethora of options into a grade-A itinerary, with nothing but highlights (no wasted excursions!), covering Rome, wonderful locales in the Umbria region and on to Cinque Terre. 

​

She was very friendly and easy to work with—particularly respectful of our budget, providing great alternatives where necessary.  Because she's actually been to these places (and LOVES Italy), her recommendations directed us towards authentic Italian experiences, and helped us to avoid the tourist traps. 

 

Also, she knows (from first hand experience) how to balance daily activities—considering travel time, distances walked, peak tourist times, etc.—to keep things realistic. 

 

I would use Kristin again in a heartbeat!=
