    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.
