Awesome trip
Kim help me plan a surprise trip for my mom a few years ago and she did such a great job so I came back to her to help again. Kim was on top of everything. She always answered all of my questions and even gave me advice and some ideas. I even referred a friend to Kim.

Dream Trip Made A Reality
I was referred to Travel Leaders by a friend & found Kim Johnston. She made the whole process so easy & amazing. I told her where & what I had in mind & she booked it perfectly! Prior to the trip we met with her & she answered all of our questions & addresses any concern we had. The entire trip went so smooth & I felt that she had prepared us so well that there weren't any surprises or issues. I would highly recommend Kim & Travel Leaders for all of your travel needs.
