Where to begin?! I used booking sites exclusively all of my adult life - until I booked a culinary trip to Rome one year and had major issues and realized a reputable certified travel agent would have mitigated that risk immediately. Enter Katharine - this travelista is my travel soul sister. She quickly understood what kind of client I was (Needy, particular, fussy, did I say needy?). I have booked every trip for the past 8 years through her - the ease of booking, the fact that she knows what seats we prefer, what hotels we prefer, makes this so easy for me, provides me with the peace of mind I need and guarantees a great trip.
Katharine has taken us to Greece (twice), Mexico, France, Thailand, St. Lucia, Scotland, England, NYC, Antigua, Whistler, - soon we are headed on an Avalon cruise from Amsterdam to Frankfurt. With her affiliations with certain resorts, her clients reap the benefits of those perks. She arranged a private beach dinner at no additional charge one year at a resort in Mexico. She even arranged champagne on our return flight when we got engaged in Paris!
Looking forward to world travels with The Travelista and can't recommend her services enough. She's like family to us and we trust her implicitly.
