Testimonials

We are back from a wonderful trip to Barcelona. Thanks for setting us up with the Majestic Hotel. It’s location was great, service excellent and it had a great breakfast for everyone. It could not have been better. Thanks again. We look forward to working with you in the future.

Bob and Georgi Contiguglia

Thank you so much for all of your help in planning our trip to Japan. Our best vacation ever! And we travel a lot. The hotels were great. Thank you for experiences that we wouldn’t be able to have without your help, like the Kabuki in Kyoto, which we loved, and the prayer you arranged for our dog, Seamus, at the temple. We were very touched… You also did a great job sequencing the places we visited and planned the bus and train schedules for ease of travel. We would have been lost (literally), without this help.

We were in a bind for time and not knowing all we needed to know about travel in Japan. We asked Kay to help despite the short notice. Kay helped us get Japan Rail passes in time for our trip, informed us about the train schedules and which platforms we should use to make connections, and helped us book reservations with hotels. She even helped us figure out how to check our bags in the airport so we could travel more lightly.

It was a huge relief to have someone who knew what was possible to do in the given amount of time.

And it all worked! Everything was perfect!

Her communication skills were terrific, with documentation all along the way. She provided us with an itinerary with addresses and phone number in both Japanese and English to make getting to our destinations smoother.

We highly recommend her, her knowledge, her professionalism, and her efficiency.
