Our best trip

Reviewed By Prakash - Fargo, ND | Traveled to India ~ Central Asia
Karla always has the best interest of the clients/customers in everything that she did. She has excellent problem solving and decision-making skills. Her great organizational skills, attention to detail, incisive mind, perceptive insights, and friendly demeanor are her valuable assets. Karla has a strong work ethic and she is driven. She builds relationship with people very easily. Her interpersonal skills are superb. I believe, she found her "nitch" in this position. She loves to travel. She always does thorough research about the places she travels to learn about their history and culture. I have no reservation in offering my highest recommendation.

A True Travel Leader

Reviewed By JC - White Bear Lake, MN | Traveled to Europe
I’ve worked with Karla in the Higher Education setting for 5 years. During my tenure with Karla, I’ve found these moments to be the most profound in ways through her leadership, knowledge, guidance, and encouragement towards my own growth and success.

Karla’s leadership and vision has always been centered towards the ideology that there is a space for everyone and their ideas. A great communicator with strong attention to detail, she makes it her priority to listen to understand which plays a key role for her in providing strong, quality work towards creating enriching opportunities.

Karla takes the time to continuously learn new skills, ideas, or concepts that benefits those around her, and this motivates others to do the same. A role model for delivering quality care through her work, Karla will prioritize your needs and wants by going the extra mile.

Karla is the right choice for helping you create your next memory. For many years, she’s helped me create mine.

Great Experiences In Italy!

Reviewed By World Traveler - St. Cloud, MN | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Travel is a passion of Karla’s, and she approaches the planning process with as much anticipation and enthusiasm as the trip itself. Karla planned a trip to Italy that we embarked on a few years ago. The trip took us through Rome and Florence and then into beautiful Tuscany and the cities of Sienna and Assisi. We saw popular tourist spots, but also enjoyed some excursions into the Tuscan countryside. The itinerary that took us on planes, trains, buses, and taxis was meticulously planned. Hotel reservations at every stop were all in place and well placed for easy access to the sites we wanted to see.
Travel for Karla isn’t just site seeing. It’s stepping outside of your own life to appreciate how other people live and Karla believes this can foster an appreciation for your own life on this Earth.

I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Karla Thoennes responded:
Thank you for this nice review! Italy is one of my favorite places. So glad you had a chance to explore it and had a wonderful experience. Looking forward to planning the next adventure for you!
