Beyond My Expectations
Reviewed By Chris G - Cumming, GA | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
In today’s world, I have access to countless travel sites - all promising great deals, discounts, and reviews. Honestly, I thought the age of the travel agent was dead. But when I began planning a special vacation, I decided to reach out to K3 Travel. Surely it would cost more and be no different than figuring it all out myself. Wrong. Immediately, it was clear that Kathy knew what she was doing. She saved my sanity by taking my preferences and narrowing my options considerably - a huge relief. With just a few questions, she had created a fantastic plan – at a lower cost than what I was getting on my own! Unbelievable. I didn't have to read endless reviews or compare dozens of nickel chasing options. She stayed on top of the trip from start to finish, always keeping me updated - and even threw in a couple of surprises along the way. The trip was just amazing. I can never go back to the old days of internet travel scavenging again. K3 Travel should be K5 Travel - for 5 star performance.

Another Great Trip!
Reviewed By Ryan Valentino - Birmingham, Alabama | Traveled to Saint Lucia ~ St. Kitts and Nevis ~ Caribbean
This is our second trip booking with Kathy and this one went just as great as the first! My wife and I aren't experienced international travelers so we really leaned on Kathy's expertise. She is so easy to work with, provided great options, and answered all of our questions in a timely manner. Kathy is very detail oriented and sent us over a great itinerary that had all of the info we needed before we went on the trip. I look forward to working with her again!

An Amazing 5 Days In Mexico
Reviewed By Becky - Atlanta, GA | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
I could not speak more highly of Kathy. We wanted to go on a, economical, short getaway to Mexico but are inexperienced with international traveling. Kathy helped ensure all aspects of our trip were seamless and alleviated so much travel-stress, allowing us to fully enjoy our vacation instead of stressing about the logistics. She had great recommendations and insider tips and was able to make things much more affordable for us while still feeling luxurious. From beginning to end, our trip was seamless and we knew we were in good hands. We can't recommend her enough - she's helping us plan our honeymoon next year!

Wonderful Family Vacation
Reviewed By Jack F. - Madison, GA | Traveled to Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
From 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 The Trip Atelier 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.

The Perfect Honeymoon
Reviewed By Maddie - Bensalem, PA | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
Kathy was AMAZING! She was beyond helpful with all my silly questions and concerns. She planned the perfect honeymoon where we had not a worry in the world. The locations we stayed at were specular and I never would have found them without her. She also recommended things to do and sites to see. We didn't have to lift a finger from landing to our hotels. We also learned so much from her. I do not have enough words to express how amazing she was. She truly cares about you and your trip. Use her for your next trip - you won't regret it. We plan on using Kathy for all of our next big adventures. Thank you for everything!

Kathy's travel expertise, passion, and kind heart make her the ideal guide for assisting in your travel needs.

From selecting the right travel accessories and the most affordable airfare, to providing options for rental cars and an array of popular and unique travel excursions, Kathy didn't cut any corners on planning our travel experience and made me feel like a priority. She took my budget, interests, and schedule into account and I attribute much of our trips success to her superb advice and planning! Thank you, K3 Travel--we will be back!
