"Kat is the first and only travel agent I will ever use."

“She truly worked with us to make sure our trip was what we envisioned. From the tours she planned to all the little details in between everything was amazing. Her app was so helpful, and she made it so we didn’t have to figure anything out. Even when we had an unexpected illness she was checking in with me daily, and was the friendly supportive voice I needed to get through a difficult time. If you haven’t traveled with Kat, you are missing out!”
"Kat did an amazing job putting our trip together."

“Kat did an amazing job putting our trip together. Her quick flight correction on the front end of the trip to get us into Valencia on time saved a whole day on the trip! Can't thank her enough!”
"She is very thorough and knowledgeable"

“I've used Kat at Adventure Smarter two times now for European trips and would highly recommend her services. She is very thorough and knowledgeable giving the personal preferences of the traveler a priority in how she makes recommendations. I would certainly use her again and recommend to others.”
"I would recommend her to anybody that’s going to Europe!”

“Adventure Smarter did a great job setting up our trip. The excursions and resources that we used from her during our time in Rome was spot on. I would recommend her to anybody that’s going to Europe!”
