AMAZING! Kat went above and beyond by providing continuous communication leading up to the trip. She scheduled Zoom meetings with the company to ensure everyone knew what to expect and go in with confidence. The trip she coordinated was outstanding (10 out of 10) and very well organized. I could not imagine a better way to spend time in the Grand Canyon. Thanks Kat and look forward to many more.

Kat you booked the most amazing Grand Canyon expedition! It was the coolest way to see the Canyon. You made everything so easy and simple from the zoom calls to sending out the recommended packing list along with your personal recommendations. From beginning to end every encounter with staff at the hotel, the ranch and our river guides seem so genuinely enthusiastic that we were there. It felt like we were more apart of a family than a tourist group! I can’t wait book my next trip with you!

Kat Burcar planned my 60th birthday cruise for me, my kids and grandkids, we visited 6 islands with land excursions which she also coordinated for us, she was very detailed and kept me up on what we were doing and it was the best birthday experience I've ever had and will definitely be calling her for my next vacation.
