MY PROMISE

 

curated vacation experiences

I’ll provide the best recommendations based on your individual holiday requirements. A trip has many moving parts, and I always endeavour to make it completely seamless for you.

With 21+ years in business, I know many suppliers personally and have an amazing database of past travel tips and colleagues who have seen what I have not seen with my own eyes. I continue to invest in trainings and personal travel to see what’s new and noteworthy.

I’m also up to date with the myriad of travel restrictions that change on the daily. There’s no need to do it all alone.

I've been working with Katharine for over 15 years. From travel for work to family vacations, and personal holidays, Katharine has always been able to make sure everything has run smoothly. She's always able to present options and opinions for my multitude of questions, and her patience with my indecision is priceless. Airfare, accommodations, cruises, car rentals, and package deals; she always offers plenty of options and information to perfect my travels. The reminders, and regular check-ins while travelling are a bonus. I can always depend on a check-in from Katharine after each trip to make sure everything went smoothly. As soon as I'm ready to travel again, I'm going to get in touch with Katharine as soon as possible!"

Jerome, Guelph ON

Katharine has been an asset we cannot do without. She has been invaluable in arranging flights, hotels, transfers and cruises for us. We will be using her again in the future.

Linda & Graeme, Guelph ON

A great big “Thank You” for all of the trips (European, South American, Middle East, Caribbean, Cruise, etc.) that you have organized for me over the past 15 years. You have always gone over and above in counselling and researching the best travel plan for me, especially my most recent trip to Argentina.

THE PLANNING PROCESS

 

From initial inquiry to your return home, I’m here to ensure a smooth travel experience. Here’s a look at my VIP client process.

 
 

step one

Connection

Feel free to drop me an email or fill out my inquiry form where we can discuss your wish list and decide if we are a good fit.  I will also disclose my professional fees that are applicable to your booking.

 

step two

Curation

Expect a quote within 48 hours of your initial consultation.  I will usually present 2-3 options that best fit what you are looking for.  I will also offer you some options with Allianz Travel Insurance to protect your investment.   

 

step three

Confirmation

Sit back and relax while I confirm your travel booking.  I am always available for any questions you have from now until the time of your trip.

 
 

step four

Bon Voyage

I’ll touch base with you one last time in the week before departure to ensure you have your travel documents, the latest entry and departure requirements for your destination and answer any last minute questions.  I’m here for you while you are away, you’ll never travel alone again.

 

step five

Welcome Home

I always touch base with my clients once they return.  Tell me about your flights, hotels, any amazing memories you made, great meals you had, bumps in the road along the way.  I love to hear it all!  This in turn helps me advise future clients on their journeys.
