Made Complicated Arrangements So Easy!
Kathryn was a great help to us with the trickiest part of our travel planning. I always worry about purchasing international train tickets, but Kathryn made this quick and simple for us. She also went the extra mile in working on a car rental for us as a back up in case of a train strike. And on top of all this she made our arrangements for an international local RT flight, with challenging baggage control issues. Excellent service!

The private tours were great
I had a lot of last-minute requests for a trip to London, Berlin and Prague. Kathryn went above and beyond to help me schedule private guides and tours. The tours she booked, ended up being the highlight of the trip.

Two 50th Anniversary Trips
We arranged two trips through another Davisville agent. After the other agent left Davisville, Kathryn helped with last minute arrangements and worked very hard to rearrange air travel to and from the East Coast when Delta Airlines changed our flight times. Kathryn has been very easy to contact and quick to respond to our every question. It's been great working with her!!
