Just returned from our first visit to Colombia's North coast, which includes Santa Marta and Cartagena, both cities date back to the 1500's
Ann, did all the planning for this trip, and if I summarize my review, I could only say that she did a phenomenal job!!
We had all the places, hotels, tours, and guides that we wanted, pre- arranged though Ann, and on the ground all happened as we had planned, hard to believe we did NOT have any issues as we traveled. We were 5 in our group, my wife, two daughters and one of their friends. We all arrived at different times, and at the beginning we even travel at different hour, but as planned we all came together just fine.
The weather in Cartagena was fabulous, and we knew that back home temps were below zero, making the stay more enjoyable, the city is beautiful , an old Spanish town, walled by the Spaniards, with a huge castle to defend the city it is really a worthwhile place to visit. Nice beaches, and if you head north a bit, you will enco

Katrina was an excellent guide and enthusiast as we planned our first trip to Spain. She shared her wealth of knowledge from her own trips to the areas we planned to visit. She provided great insight around "must see" sights as well as cultural norms and recommendations based upon her experiences and personal favorites. I valued and trusted her opinions and direction. She is a delight to work with!

Laurie was amazing to work with! We wanted a Christmas trip in the Caribbean but were nervous about where to go because of all of the "bad things" you tend to hear about the different spots. We went back and forth and had a hard time deciding. Laurie was extremely patient with us throughout the process and never got frustrated (at least we couldn't tell!). She was very knowledgeable about any of the destinations we inquired about and finally landed on a trip we want to find a way to go back to again! When we finally decided on our destination the resort was getting booked up. Laurie worked overtime for us and persisted until we secured a room. We had never worked with a travel agent before but would highly recommend doing so if you are unsure of how to book a trip on your own. She made it so easy for us and it was well worth it! We would highly recommend Laurie to anyone looking to have a travel agent help them plan their trip!
