We had the most amazing trip to Paris and Barcelona thanks to Elaine at The Trip Atelier! We have already recommended her to several friends. Our itinerary was exactly what we wanted and she was always available and listened to us and tweaked our itinerary perfectly to match our ideal trip. She also added things to our itinerary we scheduled separately so that it was all in one convenient location on the app! All the accommodations, tours, drivers and activities were absolutely beyond our expectations. We can’t thank her enough for our perfect trip. She took all the stress out of what was initially a very overwhelming experience attempting to plan on our own. We are already planning to use her again! Thank you Elaine and The Trip Atelier!
R King4 November 2022Exceptional first hand knowledge of resorts and adventure travel destinations. Willing to say “no” and “we do not recommend” when they believe certain locations are not a fit for your vacation. Not in the business only to make a sale… but to cultivate a continuing relationship. Quite a refreshing way for a trusted advisor to work.
C Holtzinger9 January 2020Kathy did an amazing job. I gave her all my requirements and she found a couple of different options, even when there was little capacity left. She kept me up to date throughout the process and gave great insights. She also answered several questions I had. I felt like I was talking to a friend. I will definitely have Kathy plan future trips for me! Thanks Kathy for booking an amazing trip!!!
L Bryan17 September 2019Kathy is the best! Handled Spring Break plans for 2 large families and we only changed our minds 100 times during the planning! Very patient and informative! I highly recommend K3 Travel!

D Harding9 May 2019Kathy planned our honeymoon to Greece. We visited Santorini, Chania and Athens. It was a blast and she set up everything to our liking. The tours were awesome and not worrying about transportation was also a huge plus!
L Cumming Frost20 December 2018Kathy helped up choose the perfect cruise for our family of 5. Each excursion she recommended allowed us to experience each port to the fullest. She truly loves to travel and her travel tips made our vacation absolutely perfect. Highly recommend her and will use her for our next vacation
J Frost20 December 2018From the start you can tell Kathy is a well seasoned traveler. She has extreme knowledge of what is required to travel anywhere in the world. This past summer we took our families first cruise in 15 years. She not only handled all of the booking process for us but as stated before she is a well seasoned traveler. So she had outstanding insight on Excursions while on our cruise . So everything we did was a blast! I would recommend K3 travel to anyone. A special side note. She happened to be on vacation the same time that we were. She took time out of her trip to make sure everything was as we hoped and expected.
L Brinkerhoff Knudsen9 June 2018Last minute (affordable) cruise for eight people? Kathy found a way. Everything went according to planned, no hidden fees, and wonderful arrangements. Kathy was extremely available and easy to work with.
