Once in a lifetime trip!!
My family and I went on an international cruise to 3 countries and 6 cities, and our group ranged in age from 10-73. We did everything from touring sites to making pizza to going on an ATV ride through olive groves - and everyone had a blast. If I didn't have Katie guiding me (and therefore reservations for transport, excursions, tour guides, etc.), we would've been flying by the seat of our pants, which would've resulted in more stress for me and fewer opportunities. Instead, we had incredibly knowledgeable tour guides, got to skip lines, ate fantastic food, and we didn't miss any boarding times (or get lost!) since we had drivers reserved for much of our transport. 10/10 recommend working with Katie!

Unforgettable European adventure!
Erin: We just returned from an unforgettable European adventure — a 10-day Mediterranean dream cruise aboard the Norwegian Epic, perfectly bookended with time in Rome and France. As a first-time cruiser, I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction — the bar has been set very high!
From start to finish, every detail was thoughtfully handled. One of the most meaningful parts of the trip was the care taken around my food allergy — something that can often cause stress while traveling. From the flights to each city we visited, and especially on the ship, I felt completely safe and at ease. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I could enjoy every meal and moment worry-free.
Our itinerary was a dream: Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, Olympia, Valletta, Sicily, the Amalfi Coast, and Florence. Each destination was more breathtaking than the last. The daily excursions, tailored for our large family with varied interests, were organized beautifully. Whether you loved history, food, beaches, or sightseeing, there was something for everyone — and everything ran seamlessly.
The Norwegian Epic lived up to its name. The ship was beautiful, the service exceptional, and the onboard dining, entertainment, and relaxation made our sea days just as memorable as time ashore.
To top it all off, we ended our trip with an incredible experience: attending the first stage of the Tour de France in Lille, followed by a motorcycle sidecar tour through Paris — the perfect, exhilarating finale.
Highly recommend this itinerary and cruise line to anyone seeking a worry-free, luxurious, and truly epic vacation — and it was all made possible by Kathryn’s amazing travel planning. Her attention to detail, thoughtful recommendations, and flawless coordination made this journey unforgettable. Already dreaming of the next one!
Missy: We just returned from the best family vacation we’ve ever had, and we owe so much of that joy to KTW Travel. From start to finish, every detail was thoughtfully arranged to ensure our cruise was smooth, fun, and relaxing for everyone.
The ship was packed with activities for all ages, and the excursions planned for us were spot-on. We got to explore the ports we were most excited about—with just the right balance of structured outings and free time to do our own thing. Having transportation ready at every stop meant zero stress and no time wasted haggling for rides. It truly felt like all the logistics melted away so we could focus on what mattered most: each other.
We’re incredibly grateful for how seamless and personalized the experience was. If you're looking for someone who listens, plans impeccably, and makes your travel dreams a reality—this is your agency!

Amazing trip to Europe!
I can’t say enough about how amazing Katie was in planning our recent trip to Europe! She organized a large group (13 people) for a whirlwind adventure that included a tour of Rome and a Mediterranean cruise, and every detail was perfectly handled.
From the beginning, Katie was incredibly proactive. She sent out questionnaires to each of us to determine which excursions we’d prefer, ensuring that every person’s interests were considered. This level of personalization really made the trip feel special, as we were able to do activities that catered to everyone’s tastes. And instead of relying on the cruise's standard excursions, Katie booked directly with local vendors, which meant we got a more authentic and often less crowded experience.
The travel app she provided was a game-changer! It included a detailed itinerary for each day, along with excursion information, vendor details (including drivers, tickets, and any special instructions), making it easy for us to stay organized and on track. We never had to wonder where we were supposed to be or who to contact for any of our bookings—it was all in the app.
When things inevitably changed or we had last-minute requests, Katie was always just a message away. She was incredibly reachable, and she handled any adjustments with ease, ensuring the trip kept running smoothly without causing any stress. Her attention to detail and personal touch made the whole experience feel effortless for us, even though there were so many moving parts.
Thanks to Katie, our trip was seamless, stress-free, and unforgettable. She’s a true professional, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an expert travel planner.

Amazing four-day family trip to the Grand Canyon and Sedona!
We just returned from an amazing four-day family trip to the Grand Canyon and Sedona, and Katie made it all possible. Before the trip she provided us with a folder that included all of our details and confirmations, plus personalized bag tags that were such a cute touch. She also set us up with her app, which was incredibly helpful during the trip because it made it so easy to access our plans.
She made sure we had everything we needed before we left, and she checked in with us daily during the trip to see how things were going and if she could help in any way. We really wanted to stay at El Tovar, but it was fully booked. Katie checked availability every single day until she secured us a room. She even booked our dinner reservation the moment reservations opened so we would not miss out. In Sedona, she recommended Enchantment Resort, which was absolutely perfect and we were even upgraded to a two-bedroom suite.
Katie also arranged all of our activities, from hiking in the canyon to kayaking in Sedona and a jeep tour through the red rocks. Thanks to her dedication, everything was seamless, stress free, and perfectly tailored to our family. She truly goes above and beyond and I cannot recommend her enough! Can’t wait to use her again!!!

Incredible trip to Italy!
Katie helped us plan an incredible trip to Italy that we just returned from. We approached her with our intentions and she started with questions like “what do you want to do/see/experience?” Once we came up with our lists and we agreed on cities to visit, she procured several different itineraries, within our budget. She presented those options to us with great flexibility to amend to our needs, all with open lines of communication and periodic check-in’s as time lead up to our travel departure. She helped keep us organized with an excellent itinerary package and reminded us to research restaurants and make reservations, especially in busy Florence, where reservations are almost a must. We enjoyed our travel to Italy very much and will definitely use Katie’s services for our future travel needs!

Breathtaking Rhine River cruise!
My wife and I recently returned from a breathtaking Rhine River cruise, and we owe the entire seamless experience to our incredible travel agent Katie.
From the very beginning, she listened attentively to our preferences and crafted an itinerary that perfectly balanced relaxation, culture, and scenic beauty.
Every detail—from the choice of cruise line to the pre- and post-cruise accommodations - was handled with care and precision. The excursions were thoughtfully selected, allowing us to explore charming towns like Strasbourg, Koblenz, Rüdesheim and Cologne without feeling rushed. The onboard experience was equally delightful, with stunning views, excellent dining, and comfortable accommodations.
What truly set Katie apart was her responsiveness and personal touch. She checked in before our departure to ensure we had everything we needed and even followed up afterward to hear about our experience. It felt like we had a trusted friend guiding us through the entire journey.
We’re already dreaming about our next adventure, and there’s no doubt we’ll be turning to Katie. We Highly recommended Katie and KTW Travel for anyone looking to plan a memorable and stress-free vacation!

Best trip ever!
I honestly wouldn't change anything about my trip. I know a ton of planning went into a trip like this and it was all worth it. Having your ground transportation planned ahead was great, especially because your in a foreign country. I always felt safe. I enjoyed all of our tours and excursions. The tour guides were very good and super friendly. I would have Katy plan all my trips. What a great job!
