Kara does up a great vacation with little worries! We had a fantastic time. It was nice to know she was only a text away if we ran into trouble - which, by the way, we didn't!! Italy did not disappoint and neither did Kara Brown!

I have used Experience Culture Travel twice in the last six months--once for a personal international trip, and one for a church youth group trip for 31 people! Kara was amazing to work with, whether it was my honeymoon in Italy or my professional trip to NYC. She is knowledgeable, always quick to respond, accessible, and even though she does all the planning, she makes you feel very empowered to embark on the trip alone! There's nothing negative to say.

Kara was with us from the planning stage up to the day we departed for Iceland. She provided us with all the information we needed to plan the trip as well as take precautionary measures regarding travel insurance and COVID-19 testing requirements. She encouraged us to ask questions and was prompt to answer them. I would highly recommend her to anyone who was wanting to take a trip and needed assistance in arranging that trip. You can't go wrong by going to Kara.

She listened to all our requests and asked the appropriate questions to recommend the best destination to fit our needs!

Kara was fantastic! It was a last minute trip to Italy and she handled everything. Her knowledge of how to set up the entire trip, including a side excursion to Loreto, was perfect. She enabled us to travel stress free and enjoy our vacation. She is absolutely worth the money!!

Kara with Experience Culture Travel was so instrumental in us finding the right trip for us considering my mothers limited mobility while also meeting my wife and my need for adventure. Every detail was thought out and she brought up solutions to possible concerns we would have never thought of. Also her rate were so low for the service she provided us. We will use Kara of Experience Culture Travel again.

Kara helped my parents and I plan a trip to Austin, TX and it was wonderful to work with her! She is friendly, helpful, and professional. Our trip was far more enjoyable and stress-free by having her take care of the details. We would work with Kara again in a heartbeat!

Our family of 5 traveled to London and Paris over spring break. I was very overwhelmed with the idea of planning all the details of our trip, so when a friend recommended Kara at Experience Culture Travel, we scheduled a meeting. We decided to move forward, and it was the absolute best decision! Kara planned an amazing trip for us. She really took the time to get to know us, our travel style, and our interests. Kara’s communication and attention to detail was stellar. We loved all of our accommodations and tours and transfers! Kara took the stress out planning this trip, so we could just enjoy our family time in Europe. We definitely plan on using Kara again for our future travel!! Highly recommend Kara at Experience Culture Travel!

Kara planned our spring break trip to Turks and Caicos for 8 people. It was so easy and saved us a ton of time researching and booking. We weren’t sure where in the Caribbean we wanted to go and she shared options for us to consider. We gave feedback and she adjusted the options a bit until we landed on the perfect place. It was a great vacation and we didn’t have to worry about the details. We are already using her expertise to plan our next trip. Thanks Kara!

Kara was ultra organized, responsive, and proactive from start to finish. She seemed to think of everything and even delivered printed copies of all important reservations and documents to our doorstep the week of our trip! We had a question about our room when we arrived and she was available immediately. We travelled to the Cancun are and Kara was extremely knowledgeable of the area and options. She took away so many of the stresses of traveling with a family of five! Thank you, Kara!

Kara was referred to us by another travel agent because we were told she was the expert when it comes to planning a European vacation, and they were right! Within a few days she had our entire itinerary ready for our review. She planned everything right down to our transportation from the airports. She was available for questions even when we were on our trip. The tours she planned were all amazing. We were able to experience Paris and Rome in a way we would never have been able to on our own. It was a trip of a lifetime thanks to Kara.

Working with Kara to plan our trips has been phenomenal! She is incredibly thorough and is always thinking ahead. For our Stockholm trip, Kara worked with us to understand what kind of experiences we were looking to have. She found us two great, locally run hotels in separate parts of the city to give us different cultural experiences. She scheduled amazing tours that fit our goals - food immersion, local history, and getting into nature. Our week in Stockholm was a once in a lifetime experience and we’re so glad we had Kara to not only plan but be our backup if anything were to go wrong (it did not). 100% recommend Kara at Experience Culture for any future travels. She will ensure you have the trip of your dreams. We will be going back to her for our next adventure!

My wife and I booked are honeymoon through Experience Culture Travel and it was amazing. Kara made everything so easy and went above and beyond. She even was there to help us with questions even during the middle of the night. I would highly recommend!

I have nothing but good things to say about Kara. I had an open plan which isn't always easy, but she patiently guided me through the process and listened to me. Her vast experience with travel was much appreciated as I set off to easter Europe by myself.

Kara was always available and responded much faster than I would have expected. I felt personally cared for. The trip was so successful that I only reached out to her during the trip to let her know how fantastic the trip was going.

Highly recommend working with Kara and Experience Culture Travel.

Several years ago, we set out to visit every continent as a family. For this trip, we met with Kara to discuss our goals, interests, timing & budget. Kara asked questions & listened attentively to learn about the personalities & affinity of each individual in our family. In less than two weeks, Kara came back with several "big picture" options for us, including comparisons of different scenarios & considerations we hadn't originally conceived. The itinerary she drafted & planned was designed specifically & well-suited for our family of five. At every moment we felt informed but never felt pressured to do something that wasn't a fit for us. Kara provided helpful reminders about trip planning including documentation, credit card, & mobile phone setup. We just returned from our trip & had a fabulous experience spending time in Rio de Janeiro, Foz de Iguacu (Iguazu Falls) & Buzios. We are very pleased with Experience Culture Travel

Kara from Experience Culture Travel perfectly planned a wonderful and super-fun honeymoon vacation! We contacted Kara to help us with the planning of our 16-day honeymoon to London, Edinburgh, and Paris. Kara prepared a well-balanced trip of both fun and relaxing activities within a very short period of time! We loved all of the tours, activities, and food we got to try. We had such an incredible time, thanks to Kara! She took all of the stress out of planning a vacation, especially for not being familiar with the countries. Kara was also super easy to reach and super timely with all of her responses! We will definitely be using Experience Culture Travel for all our fun trips in the future! 😊😊

Kara was amazing helping us plan our 10th anniversary trip to Riviera Maya, Mexico. It was our first trip outside of the USA and she helped with all our international travel worries. Leading up to our trip, she made sure that we were on track with our passports, had digital and printed copies of all our travel, hotel, transportation and insurance information. She also made sure that we had her contact information as well as back up just incase something happened. Luckily, we had zero hiccups!

Kara found a perfect hotel that had beautiful views, delicious buffets and fine dining options, and many pool options to choose. The Barcelo Maya Resort is made up of 5 hotels that you can visit while your room is in one hotel. Itself all inclusive which was great knowing we didn't have to worry about having extra money on hand at all times. We didn't make it to the other hotels during this visit, but we want to go back and try them all.

Kara was so easy to work with, and quick to respond when I had questions. I would recommend her to my family and friends!

This was our family's first trip to Europe & first time using a travel agent. We had a wonderful experience with Kara. She had great advice to get us started & was able to pivot when I had feedback & was very patient with my questions.We had confidence before we even left the United States because Kara scheduled a 30 min meeting with us before we left and went over every single thing on our itinerary. We were able to ask questions so we felt like we knew what we were getting into. Our flight was delayed twice and we were at risk of missing our connection. Kara got online in the middle of her sleep to talk us through possible scenarios and make us feel confident in her ability to help us through any situation. It was the most stressless vacation I have ever had. Kara uses an app so every time someone in the family would ask me a question I could just tell them to check the app! It was nice that I had a vacation too! Having Kara assist us with our vacation planning was mo

I had a great experience working with Kara Brown. She was very attentive and very responsive. I was impressed with her professionalism and quick responses. She made sure my questions were answered. I am glad I found her :).

Kara worked with my daughter and I to plan an amazing immersion experience. We weren’t sure where we wanted to go, so Kara discussed with us different options. We decided upon Ecuador. Our vacation experience far exceeded our expectations. Thank you Kara for your help in answering all of our questions and expertise in planning our vacation.

Kara did a wonderful job helping me with flights, hotels, and details of my South Pacific trip.

Kara did a great job of listening to what we were looking for and everything turned out perfect! Our trip was 2 weeks in Thailand with a get away to Phuket for 4 days. We had a little bit of a tricky group of 5 but she made it work and found the perfect places to stay that gave us space to gather and to have some privacy at the same time. She was upfront about the costs involved and about our budget and that made it easier to spend a little bit more to have the vacation we were looking for. I will most definitely use her again and recommend her to friends and family!

Kara is wonderful to work with and did a great job helping to plan and book an all inclusive trip to Cancun for myself and two friends. Kara understood our needs and what we wanted out of our trip and communication and prep for the trip were super clear and helpful. Looking forward to using her again for future trips, all inclusive or something more adventurous!

Kara took great care of us before, during and after our trip. Traveling and seeing another country was carefree trusting that the details were handled for us!

We just returned from a 10 day, multi-generational vacation in Spain, including my husband and I, our two kids (10 & 13), and my father and step-mother. Kara was absolutely instrumental in the amazing family experience we had on this trip! We had been longing to return to Spain since we had kids. We also wanted to do something special to celebrate my father’s 70th birthday. That’s when I called Kara, and it was the right choice! She was so helpful, flexible, and patient with us through the planning process, and always available to answer any questions/make suggestions. Not only was it great working with Kara, the local provider she partnered with in Spain was top-notch as well! We always had someone to contact while in Spain, who was just as thoughtful and helpful as Kara, which added to the sense of ease. We are already excited to plan our next trip with her, and recommend you do the same!

As the name says, this is the travel agency to "experience culture" - when you want to immerse yourself in the culture of a place rather than simply be a tourist. Kara cares deeply about your travel experience. She went above and beyond our expectations to help us plan an anniversary trip. Thanks, Kara!

Kara is one of the best travel agents I have had the pleasure of working with. She is always on top of the important issues and will help you with any problems you encounter. You will never go wrong having her plan your trip.

I went to Mazatlán Mexico and had a worry free trip due to Experience Culture Travel. Kara was quick, knowledgeable and easy to work with. I definitely will use her for my next travels!

Kara planned our 30th Anniversary trip to Colombia. She was very open to feedback and tailoring our itinerary to our needs. The guides were all amazing and we were able to see all of the key tourist sites but then we also had very personal and unique experiences that put us in touch with people and taught us about their culture.

Our trip was relaxing and lovely! We needed to take a break and Kara made it simple to do so, and worked to make it a good fit for us. Our flight was canceled due to weather but between the airline re-routing us and Kara's assistance with finding a ferry and taxi we still made it to our destination. We would love to have Kara plan a trip for us again in the future.

Having never worked with a travel agent before, it was lovely to meet and work with Kara. My family of four decided to take a trip to Paris and Copenhagen over winter break to visit friends, and while I typically do the planning for family trips myself, I knew I didn't have the capacity this time around. Not having to stress over flights and places to stay was amazing. There were some hiccups along the way, mainly due to her unfamiliarity with one of the countries, but overall she was thorough, professional, communicative, and clearly takes pride in running her small business. I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Kara planned our honeymoon from start to finish and it was an AMAZING ADVENTURE! We traveled in Belize seemlessly from place to place. All we had to do was show up ready for our next experience! We can't wait to have Kara set up our next adventure!

Kara Brown provided our family quality service. She informed of us places to visit in California. We had a wonderful trip. Before we left, Kara informed us that if we needed her at anytime she would be there for us to resolve any issues. I highly recommend Kara Brown for all your travel needs.

Kara has helped me plan several trips and she always does an excellent job. She’s knowledgeable, quick to respond, and is available to help with questions while you’re on your trip.

Kara helped us plan the best trip! We worked with Kara to help us plan our honeymoon. Prior to booking, Kara met with us to understand our goals for our trip, preferences, and how we like to spend our time while on vacation. She worked collaboratively with us to generate an itinerary with all sorts of adventurous activities that fit our interests. Throughout the planning process, Kara was attentive and responsive to feedback on draft itineraries and throughout the process worked with us to keep the trip within our budget. She helped keep us organized and told us what to anticipate at each step of the trip planning process. While we were on vacation, Kara checked in with us and helped address any last minute modifications we needed to make while on our trip. Kara was an essential part of our trip abroad and we will absolutely use her services again in the future!

Belize. It still doesn't feel real and I lived it. I have been wanting to see the rainforest since I was five. Experience Culture Travel created a trip I would never have thought was possible on a small budget.

A wonderful time! Everything was taken care of, everyone was friendly and had a nice blend of structured activities and free time.

The trip Kara arranged (trekking in Yosemite) went off without the proverbial hitch, and she was thorough in following up on the details. It's clear her intention is to represent a value-add agency. Recommend.

We used Kara to book a girls trip to Puerto Rico and were so pleased with the service! She found a competitive rate and helped save us time of research and booking. She listened to our needs and didn't try to sell us on something we didn't want. Awesome personal touches of a mailed itinerary and personalized checklist for packing.

Some of the ‘not so fun’ travel pressure is relieved knowing Kara is available for support and assistance. There was a name verification that I reached out about and I knew didn’t have to worry about it as she went to work to figure it out. She also arranged wheelchair accommodation for the flights and resort transport. It was great not having to worry about that and being able to focus more on the wedding and festivities. Yes! I’ll use Kara again for more travel adventures. Thanks Kara!

Everything was perfect and I will forevermore use Kara for any vacation planning! I couldn’t suggest her more to anyone I know. Seriously, using a travel agent was one of the best choices I’ve ever made and I’m so happy we picked her!

Kara was really excellent on booking my trip to Orlando Florida. She helped me learn and understand where I'm going and what to do once I get to my destination. She's really excellent on making sure everything goes smoothly. I'd recommend using her because she gets the job done and she is very friendly with clients that wants to travel to their destination.

It was fantastic to just "show up" and still make the most of my time in Florida. Kara was realistic with time frames and considerate of costs, yet I still felt like I had some of the best food and experiences I could possibly have.
It was also comforting with how knowledgeable she was when it came to covid guidelines/restrictions. I felt so prepared and it was so seamless.
If you are looking to travel I would recommend two things. Do it soon (everyone is antsy to travel again!) and work with Kara! You won't regret it.

Kara made everything easy for our first family vacation out of the country.

Working with you guys was amazing , I really enjoyed your service and I will definitely be coming back to work with you again.

Kara was a great help in planning my trip to Iceland and France! She spent a lot of time sorting through different options to find the exact flights, hotels and attractions that I wanted.She even found a unique opportunity in Paris - private cooking lessons in an amazing 19th century apartment - that I would never in a million years have found for myself. Using Experience Culture Travel was a great decision!

Just returned from a trip to Azul Beach Resort Riviera Maya outside Cancun, Mexico. It was a wonderful trip made so much easier because Kara handed all travel plans and reservations. She was great at anticipating questions and taking care of details I hadn't even thought about. And you really appreciate her reminders and pack list! Will be going with her again for sure.

Much more than we expected! Initially, I wasn't sure that we needed a travel agent since those sites like Travelocity seemed to do what an agent could do. I couldn't have been more wrong!

Instead of feeling overwhelmed by all the possibilities, Kara quickly narrowed down our options. As soon as we were satisfied, we booked! The cost of the flight was similar to what we would pay had we booked online ourselves.

Now for the best part-the personal touch. A week before our trip, Kara mailed us our itinerary and a very helpful travel checklist. These helped keep our stress levels low, since we didn't have to think about anything. She encouraged us to contact her if we had any problems on our trip and she checked in when we returned.

Booking through Kara elevated our trip from great to awesome! I will definitely use her services again!

Getting to and from Peru was an adventure I do not need to repeat. Thankfully Kara was there to help meet up with my tour group after 24+ flight delay and made the process that much smoother. She was in quick contact with me and the tour group. Thank you so much!

A bunch of us just returned from Mazatlan, had a wonderful time. Thanks Experience Culture Travel and Kara Brown for setting everything up. We had absolutely no issues during our trip. If you want to plan a trip I'd would highly recommend going through Kara for a travel agent. Thanks Kara for all you did for the 8 of us.

Kara is terrific! I’ve worked with Kara on a few different trips now, including ones to the Galapagos Island (adventure) and the Bahamas (romantic). Both trips were completely different, but she hits the nail on the nose every time. She’s super responsive and offers great info!
