Katie was incredible. She understood perfectly what I needed, provided multiple options for me to explore and answered all my questions. Thanks Katie I feel so much better, clearer and exited about my trip after speaking with you. Without your guidance I would have been totally lost.

Jake, headed to New Zealand

December 22, 2024

I was planning a family trip to Yellowstone and had no idea which hikes would be ok for a five-year-old (but still fun for me). We only had a day there and I wanted to make sure I got it right. Now, I feel confident we're hitting the right stuff.

The call was informative and a good time. The TripGuide sent to us after the call was even more detailed and helpful than I expected. We shared with all our friends coming on the trip and they loved it too.

Maureen helped me figure out where to stop along the Ring of Kerry (including all the places for a good pint). She helped me weave a little adventure into my trip, but gave my so many insider recs for the towns too. Beyond expectations.
