I called her one morning out of the blue and left a message on her voice mail. In my mind, it was the first step in assessing her responsiveness. She texted that same afternoon and apologized for her “delay” in getting back with me. Turns out she was texting from the maternity floor, having delivered a baby that same morning. That told us all we needed to know about her professionalism and her responsiveness. I’m still amazed by it. She and her team then asked us about our preferences for hotels and activities, made many suggestions for places to go and things to do, and then curated a wonderful itinerary for us, tailoring venues, and tours accordingly. The trip was absolutely perfect. She thought of every detail. Every hotel was exactly what we were looking for. Every guide was personable and knowledgeable. Every driver was on time and professional. Every venue was interesting. Every restaurant was great. The 16 - day trip was flawless. I recommend d Sarah Kate absolutely. And I can’t wait to start working with her to plan our next adventure. “
