Client Testimonials
We loved our Trip to Japan!
Kathleen Whalen planned our trip to Japan for 10 of us traveling together. Our trip was spectacular. She asked for our "wish lists" and "must sees" and created an experience which exceeded our expectations. We had amazing guides, tasted incredible food, transfers were seamless - not one hiccup the entire 14 days. She thought of everything and no detail was overlooked.
This truly was a once in lifetime journey for us and we are so grateful and appreciative of all her time planning and putting this together.
We highly recommend her to anyone wanting a perfectly executed trip!
