What a great travel agent!
This was the fifth time that we’ve worked with Carol and I’d never use anyone else. She is so knowledgeable and has made excellent recommendations for all our trips, which have included a two week Danube River Cruise, a tour of Vietnam and Cambodia and a tour of Spain and Portugal. We truly love working with her!

I would highly recommend working with Carol McKee for any and all travel plans. She is extremely knowledgeable on so many levels. I wasn't even sure where I wanted to go, and after a few questions she recommended Costa Rica. After a few more questions the hotels and itineraries were suggested and sent for our review. Our trip was perfect from beginning to end. The hotels were amazing and every excursion was planned flawlessly. We had a trip of a lifetime and I credit it all to Carol!!
