David Mitchell
Custom Romantic Uruguay & Argentina Vacation
WHAT THEY ASKED FOR
David and Morgan, relatively newly-wed, wanted to take a vacation in December to get away from the daily grind and experience a new place together. They both wanted great food and wine. They wanted some adventurous days and some time to relax on the beach.
WHAT WE BOOKED FOR THEM
Based on the timing, their budget, and their vision for the vacation I created a custom vacation for them starting off in the luxurious and somewhat undiscovered (to Americans, at least) beach resort town of Punta del Este, Uruguay. After that, they spent a few days in Buenos Aires, enjoying a tango show, and exploring the cosmopolitan capital. They ended their trip in what David described as his "favorite hotel ever" in the Mendoza wine region, riding bikes and touring wineries.
THEIR TESTIMONIAL
Ashley planned our trip to South America and it was simply amazing! Every part of the trip was so well planned and executed. She suggested places on our trip we never would have found without her, and we were lucky to take advantage of her wonderful recommendations. Also, Ashley on two occasions saved our trip. First, my wife got sick right before we left. Ashley convinced us to get trip insurance, and walked us through the reimbursement process. We were able to reschedule and had an amazing time. Second, at the end of the trip we had a problem with an airline, and Ashley was able to help us. She worked on making sure we made our way back to the states, get reimbursed for the expenses, and honestly was the only person that was able to get anything done on our behalf. We loved working with Ashley, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great trip.
Thomas Moshiri, MD
Surprise Las Vegas Getaway Birthday Celebration
WHAT THEY ASKED FOR
Thomas wanted to surprise his wife, Rien for her birthday by planning a surprise getaway to Las Vegas. He wanted to make sure she was pampered with spa treatments, fine dining, and a couple of Las Vegas' world-class shows.
WHAT WE BOOKED FOR THEM
Based on Tom and Rien's lifestyle and Tom's vision for their trip, I created them a custom vacation complete with a beautiful suite in the Mandarin Oriental on the strip, customized spa treatments at their spa, and hair-styling services with their salon before Rien's big night on the town. Rien also enjoyed an afternoon of personal shopping, while Tom worked out at the hotel. They were able to also enjoy some fabulous meals at some of the best restaurants in Las Vegas and watch two really great shows.
THEIR TESTIMONIAL
I loved working with Ashley at Kinship Vacations. She did a wonderful job planning our trip, from learning what we like, to booking the appropriate events (shows, dining etc.) we'd want to participate in, and even following up to make sure we were happy during and after the trip. I would highly recommend her and will use her again for sure!!
Charles Ugalde and Family
Multi-generational Family Trip to Paris and Rome
WHAT THEY ASKED FOR
Charles, his mother, aunt & uncle, sister, and brother wanted to go to Paris and Rome for 12 days. They wanted to experience the highlights of each city as most of them had never visited either city before. They also wanted to ensure they had down time and needed to ensure that accommodations were made for the aunt who had some mobility issues, requiring occasional need of a wheelchair.
WHAT WE BOOKED FOR THEM
I created a custom vacation package for the family in Paris and Rome complete with a combination of private and shared tours. All of which, keeping in mind the aunt's requirement for a wheelchair. I worked with a tour operator in Rome that specializes in accessible tours to ensure they had the best experience possible, especially because Rome can be particularly difficult to navigate with a wheelchair.
THEIR TESTIMONIAL
Having a private guide and tour that was tailored for wheelchairs were soooo needed and great! Vouchers mailed to us were great! Having it all in one place was extremely helpful and one less thing we had to organize. The (itinerary) app was awesome! It allowed everyone to know exactly when scheduled tours and flights were happening; plus, scanned passports were great! Everything in one place was a good way to empower every individual to look up vacation details without having to ask one specific person. Tour in Paris was especially great for aunt who’s hard of walking - she felt like she got to see all of Paris and had the option to get out of the vehicle to take pictures.
