Loveland, Colorado Travel Agent
A Full-Service Travel Leaders Associate Agency
Email MeEuropean River Cruise and Alaska Cruise Expert
Having been in the travel industry since 1987, I have an incredible passion for selling travel. My expertise lies in planning unique vacations to Hawaii, Mexico, Alaska and the rivers of Europe . I've traveled the US extensively, cruised to Alaska, snorkelled the reefs of the Abacos and kayaked the Wailua River in Kauai.
Having the opportunity to experience a Viking River cruise from Passau, Germany to Budapest, Hungary on the Danube River peaked my interest in river cruising. It's such a wonderful way to experience a destination and the trip itself is a journey you'll always remember.
Iceland was a bucket list trip for me and spending 8 days in June of 2023 was certainly a highlight for myself along with my family. Between glaciers, volcanoes and waterfalls, Iceland is an amazing destination.
Traveling is a very personal experience and I look forward to assisting you with your travel desires and needs.

Trip of a lifetime to Italy
Reviewed By Ed - Birmingham, Alabama | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
We just returned from the trip of a lifetime to Italy and Kristy created the entire journey for us. The hotels she recommended were wonderful and in the ideal location for sightseeing. She arranged tours for us and also set up private guides where needed. We loved our villa in Tuscany and the cooking class was a favorite! Great trip and wonderful memories!

Trip of a Lifetime!!
Reviewed By Michluke - Birmingham, AL | Traveled to Washington D.C. ~ District of Columbia ~ USA
Kristy set up the whole trip with excursions included. All I had to do was to get to the airport and take off. No worries, no planning just sit back and let her handle it. We say everything and more with no stress or inconvenience. Kristy is not only knowledgeable but also the friendliest and caring person I have ever dealt with.

No Better Travel Agent Anywhere
Reviewed By Peggy - Galena, Illinois | Traveled to Florida ~ USA
When my granddaughter became ill late in the evening and 30 hours before we were to board a flight to Orlando for a Disney package, I panicked that, unable to go, I would also lose the thousands that I had invested in the trip. Kristy responded to my call late in the evening, canceled our trip and got over 95% of my money refunded to my credit card. It was unbelievable to me that she worked at night in the interest of serving me.

Perfect From Head to Toe
Reviewed By Santomaso/Wishon - Table for four - Loveland, Colorado | Traveled to Rhine River ~ On the River ~ At Sea
Kristy runs a smooth operation paying attention to each detail from start to finish. Her professional manner sprinkled with a great sense of humor makes planning travel delightful. Kristy was so patient with our questions and frustrations with the pandemic. We LOVED our trip and thanks to Kristy planning our flights, everything was perfect! Our river cruise was so amazing, from having Paula and Robert take care of us at each meal, to Yohana making our stateroom home for 8 days an immaculate place to retire for the evening. The food was exquisite, the wine and spirits were complementary to each meal. Our included tours were so much fun with knowledgeable guides and our extended tours were absolutely perfect giving us a taste of what life is like in each region. Never did we wish something would be different or made better. Kristy was instrumental in making our vacation beyond our wildest dreams the best.

Wonderful trip on the Danube River
Reviewed By Linda - Birmingham, Alabama | Traveled to Germany ~ Europe
Amazing travel agent! We booked this trip with Kristy in 2019 and due to Covid, the trip was rescheduled 3 times. Kristy was on top of it every step of the way and was always patient and full of information for us as we entered this new realm of travel. Wonderful trip on the Danube plus Viking River Cruise was amazing. Thank you Kristy for all of your efforts and the recommendation to travel with Viking. Trip of a lifetime!

Walker Trip
Reviewed By Luke W - Wichita ks | Traveled to Marco Island ~ Florida ~ USA
She truly went above and beyond. A snow storm hit and caused chaos with flights. We at one point accepted the trip was not happening. Some how her and Linda pulled a rabbit out of their hat and found us a last minute flight to get us to our trip! Super helpful and kept in contact through the whole trip ensuring we were where we needed to be.

Dream Vacation!
Reviewed By Margie - Atlanta, Georgia | Traveled to Caribbean
Kristy was a life savor! We were more than ready to travel due to the fact we'd been staying home for almost a year due to Covid. Kristy educated with options for the Caribbean and let us know the guidelines to travel with Covid still going on. We chose St Lucia and it was a trip of a life time and we can't tell you how much this vacation meant to us. Thank you, Kristy, for making this trip happen!

Carefree Travel
Reviewed By Colorado Dreamer - Loveland, Colorado | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
Two years ago, Kristy was the ring leader as my family wanted to do a reunion aboard a cruise ship. Not only did she make the booking of the trip a pleasure for folks all over the world (we had family members coming in from China!!), but she was detailed oriented along with her personal touch right through the trip. In fact, one member of the family had to cancel at the last minute due to an illness, and she took care of the details for that nightmare, too. A truly caring professional!

Literally a perfect experience
Reviewed By Ann - Bellvue, CO | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
Kristy made our destination wedding the experience of a lifetime. We weren't sure where to have it, and Kristy provided options based on what we were looking for. She suggested Secrets Papagayo as our wedding destination and that ended up being "the trip of a lifetime" for not only my husband and me, but all of our guests said the same thing! She made the experience seamless for all of us, and everyone kept telling me how happy they were with her service. I would highly recommend Kristy for your travel planning. She made sure everyone was taken care of and everyone knew they were in good hands. Thanks so much, Kristy!

Super Knowledgeable Travel Agent
Reviewed By Callie - Birmingham, Alabama | Traveled to Budapest ~ Hungary ~ Europe
Kristy was referred to us by a friend and what a great experience we had working with her. First of all, she knew the product and was able to give us all sorts of information regarding the trip. Secondly, she was always available and extremely easy to reach as we asked for additional information. Lastly, the price she gave us was actually a better rate than going direct to Viking Cruise Line so why not use Kristy with Travel Leaders!

Incredible Customer Service

This was our 40th Anniversary trip and the information Kristy provided us with made it truly an anniversary we will always remember.

Expert on cruises to Alaska
Reviewed By Dorothy - Loveland Colorado | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
We had a group of couples wanting to take a cruise to Alaska and I found the entire process overwhelming! I found Kristy's information online and sent her an email. She contacted me right away and simplified the entire process. Needless to say we have our cruise, flights and shore excursions booked plus Kristy found our group pricing we could all afford.

Viking River Cruise - Dream Trip!
Kristy was referred to us by our neighbor and the service we received was exceptional! She knew the destination and her product knowledge was "spot" on. Having not taken a river cruise before, she provided us with all the information needed prior to the trip and was there to welcome us home with a follow up phone call. Great service, knowledgeable agent plus extremely patient and we will definitely recommend her!
