  • "Kathryn was endlessly helpful in navigating an unknown country during a COVID epidemic. I needed a visa and we had specific requirements for our hotel stay and excursions. Kathryn handled everything that we threw at her with ease and we had a wonderful vacation completely stress-free. We left feeling that we had done everything that we wanted to and the vacay surpassed our expectations."
