Karyn Ownby is an amazing TA. She knows her clients, she cares about the success of their trips, and she is very prompt in answering questions and requests. I cannot adequately thank her for her skills and kindness. The hotel she found for us in London was the perfect combination of location, price, services, and enjoyment. The city photograph above is the view from our room at the Riu Plaza. - PAMELA D.

Karyn was absolutely phenomenal to work with when booking my cruise with Princess to Alaska. There were several inconveniences when booking shore excursions and using the app, however, Karyn was always able to help and resolve the issue. She responded to my phone calls/texts in a timely manner and even called me back when on a business trip once our cruise began and we had a problem with a shore excursion. We will definitely contact Karyn to book any cruises in the future. - MEGAN K.

This was my first time traveling so naturally, I had so many questions and did not know where to start. Katherine Maurice made it a stress free experience by answering each question and providing details for things I didn't even think to ask. She has a great eye for detail. Additionally, she was open to answering my emails or phone calls when needed. Thank you for making our first cruise a memorable one.

Great experience from start to finish with Karen
We worked with Karyn Ownby to plan a ski trip for our family of 4. This was our first time to take our 2 children skiing, and both of them are on the autism spectrum, so finding a place that had a strong adaptive ski school was very important to us. Once we chose Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center, Karyn took care of every detail of our flights, ensuring our lodging was literally steps away from the ski school, great restaurants, and historic Main Street, our rental car, etc. At every point on our trip, we had ZERO logistical issues. We planned our trip months in advance, and Karyn provided updates, reminders, and had great communication from our original booking (nearly a year in advance) until we boarded our plane. No stone was left unturned, and we felt completely taken care of and prepared. This was especially important in 2020, during COVID. We knew what to expect along the way...no surprises. I can't begin to describe the joy we felt seeing both our young children skiing from their very first day of lessons! Our youngest son, age 7, is nonverbal. And he got to experience the joy and empowerment of skiing. The close proximity of the Village at Breckenridge ensured we were close to EVERYTHING and could take breaks when needed. Absolutely incredible experience and we will definitely be booking another trip with Karyn in the future.
Karyn is great to work with and finds exactly what you are looking for.
As always Karyn goes above and beyond to make sure your trip exceeds your expectations! When any type of issue arose I could call her and she would work to make sure the issue was handled.
Made our planning so EASY. We will definitely be using her again! - Carrie W.
Katherine planned our Disney Cruise for our family of 10! She was so easy to work with and very informative on all things cruises! Can't wait for her to plan our next vacation! - Tracy E.
After years of planning travel by myself, I decided to lean on my sweet friend, Katherine, to help out. She made the process completely enjoyable and was there to answer questions up until the week I left. If you're looking for someone that will listen, recommend, and support you with the perfect trip, she's your girl. I'll not travel without her again!
We will be cruising this summer! The planning process was easy and so much fun! Katherine is so very knowledgeable and helpful! You can’t go wrong with her! - Michelle H.
We loved working with Katherine on our trip to Sea World this summer! She did a great job finding us plenty of options to choose from, and ultimately booking us the perfect hotel! - Sara T.
We loved working with Katherine on our first trip to Mexico! She suggested the perfect place (Excellence Cancun) to celebrate our 15th anniversary and handled everything! We didn't have to think about a thing and had a fabulous trip! We can't wait to book the next one! - Michelle V.
Katherine went above and beyond to help my husband and I get a Mexico getaway for our anniversary. We had not been on vacation in over 10 years and she helped us find the perfect location for us. She dealt with my millions of questions and budget parameters so well! I'm so grateful for all her help and expertise in our planning! It was an amazing trip! - Lesley S.
Just returned from a great trip on the Carnival Magic from Galveston to Roatan, Belize, and Cozumel. We had a large group (17 all together) and everything went exactly as everyone planned from start to finish! The days at sea were pleasant and there were lots of things to see and do. The private tour in Roatan was exactly what we wanted and Lena from Shore Trips that provided our tour was extremely pleasant and informative. The Mayan Ruins at Altun Ha in Belize were beautiful and Cardinal, our guide from Shore Trips, was so pleasant and provided us with so much information about not only the ruins, but also about Belize generally. He even recommended some tamales that were made by the local folks that were huge and delicious. In Cozumel, we again took the private tour through Shore Trips and had a wonderful day driving all around the island seeing where the local people brought their families to the beach, the only golf course, lots of historical locations including the original town on the island which has a Catholic church that is built right next to a Mayan ruin! The ship was clean and the people were extremely friendly. The head waiter in the dining room (Alexkandar) was outstanding and dealt with our large group with grace and lots of smiles. Charles always seemed to remember that our little one (4 years old) wanted chocolate milk and had it ready for him! Thanks so much for such outstanding planning so everything went so perfectly! I really did try to figure out a way to stay on the ship for another week! I'm already trying to figure out what my next trip needs to be. - Patricia L.
