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.

The best of Italy!
Kim is great!! Our group of 11 traveled to Italy from different cities and she coordinated everything perfectly. She planned the perfect trip from beginning to end. Kim is full of knowledge and gave us so many tips about each destination we visited! I will never use anyone else to plan my vacations, she is a gem!

We enjoy working with Kim. I always have 5,000 questions and she’s always prompt, patient, honest and understanding with us. We’ve worked with her on three trips, including our honeymoon in 2013.
