Client Testimonials

I can’t say enough positive things about Kip’s Trips and the incredible service provided by Kip. From the moment we reached out for assistance with planning my wife’s 40th birthday trip, Kip’s warm and friendly demeanor put us at ease. Her thorough knowledge of destinations and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of our trip was perfectly planned.

The level of customer service we received was truly outstanding. Kip’s expertise and dedication made our trip unforgettable and created memories that will last a lifetime. If you’re looking for a travel advisor who goes above and beyond, look no further than Kip’s Trips.

Kip’s Trips organized a wonderful trip to Israel for us. They skillfully achieved a balance of historical, religious, geo-political sites, destinations and experiences. The guides they found for us were outstanding – so knowledgeable and engaging. We loved it.

We traveled with Kip’s trips in a group of 10 people to Spain. We went to Madrid, Seville, and Barcelona. It was a wonderful trip organized and planned by Kip. There were so many details that had to be handled and kip did them beautifully. From the flights to the trains and the hotels and excursions, we were very impressed with Kip’s knowledge and skills. Plus, her being fluent in Spanish was extra helpful.

We are not experienced world travelers so Kip’s attention to our needs really helped us enjoy the trip. She prepared us for when things didn’t go exactly as planned(as can happen in travel). She had all our documents prepared properly and ready for us when our trip started.

Kip is a wonderful travel advisor and I highly recommend her.

We had a wonderful trip to Louisville, KY, Asheville, NC, and Nashville, Tenn. in spring 2022 thanks to Kip. Because we wanted to arrive a day early, she was able to get us a free night at the Brown Hotel in Louisville, KY. She kept us informed about all details of our tour and responded promptly to our emails.

We had Kip plan our next year’s trip to Italy. She was able to get a lower price on our tour and a free night at the hotel in Rome before the tour starts. She also advocated on our behalf for the best flights and got us direct flights for our trip at no extra cost. Kip makes traveling an easy and enjoyable experience!

We have used Kip’s Trips for several trips for ourselves and friends. We have found their attention to detail exemplary. I am also appreciative of their ongoing communication and follow-up. They have found us extra perks that were not advertised that have saved us money. Being frequent travelers themselves, they are often able to add their own personal experiences in guiding us in our travel needs. I highly recommend their services.

I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Kip to help plan and coordinate a trip to Istanbul, Turkey. Kip knew of a great hotel for us to stay and was even able to negotiate a lower rate. One of the wonderful benefits of Kip’s services are her first hand knowledge and expertise in the areas we want to travel. She has been to Istanbul a few times herself and knows exactly which sights to visit, where to eat authentic Turkish food and how to navigate through the city once we arrive there.

Additionally, her Viator link enabled us to book our visits to the various sights beforehand and in some cases, avoid the waits in line.

Kip is responsive, knowledgeable, highly competent and very personable. Her rates are extremely reasonable for the time and effort she invests in her clients.

Thank you, Kip, for helping make our trip memorable!

Kip is amazing! She is thorough, creative, and ensures that all your needs are met. She planned an exciting, private trip for us to France. She took care of everything. Travel arrangements have never been so easy!

I reached out to Kip’s Trips because I found planning for my family’s vacation was stripping me of all the joy related to the trip. After two calls and completing a simple profile, Kip took over the role of “project manager” for our upcoming family vacation. Kip is incredibly organized and communicative. She’s also very attuned to how people like to receive information: I like written updates, and Kip provides those via email regularly, always outlining what’s happening, what decisions are coming soon, and what she recommends based on our options. I really appreciate the care with which she manages all of the details!

Kip’s Trips did an excellent job orchestrating our wonderful and very special trip through Spain. Kip is conscientious, diligent, detail oriented and totally invested to insure that our comfort, satisfaction and travel experience was outstanding at every turn.

I was thrilled with the trip and enjoyed the lovely small group of travelers with whom I experienced the glorious art, delicious food, culture and wonders of Spain.

I strongly recommend Kip and look forward to utilizing her excellent services in the future.

Happy traveler,

Kip Anderson planned a fabulous trip to Portugal and Spain for the three of us. We were so impressed and pleased with her services, we are using her to plan our upcoming trip to Scotland. After finding us the perfect tour, she was able to get us an extra night in Lisbon at no cost which enabled us to arrive a day early and start well-rested, rather than jet lagged. Throughout the booking process, Kip was extremely responsive and organized. She was available for our questions, and as an experienced traveler, very knowledgeable. From the tour, to perfect apartments in Seville and Madrid, to additional day trips and transportation, Kip consistently met our needs. Her recommendations based on years of international travel were most welcome.

What an adventure!  Kip made traveling to Japan a breeze, language barrier and all.  We could not recommend her more.  The scheduling, hotels, advice given, logistics, and daily guides that were arranged made everything so easy and moved this vacation to the top of our favorites.   Thank you so much, Kip!

Well, I usually don’t give reviews unless I think the service I received went above and beyond my expectations.

I have now been on 2 trips organized by Kip of Kip’s Trips, one here in the US (Albuquerque Balloon Festival) and just returned from a glorious trip to Spain for Art and Culture. Kip’s knowledge of travel both within and outside the US is exceptional. In Spain, her knowledge was instrumental in arranging great hotels in central locations. This gave us easy access in walking distance to the art museums, markets, restaurants and other venues we visited in each city and the pick-up locations for the day excursions she planned. Kip arranged for all the flights and transfers… all I had to do was pack (remember my passport) and get to the airport!

I have a gluten allergy and Kip was very helpful in arranging gluten free meals for me on both trips. That extra attention is so much appreciated.

Kip’s enthusiasm for travel is truly contagious! Can’t wait for the next trip she will arrange for me!

Above and Beyond. That should be the slogan of Kip’s Trips. Kip helped us plan our trip to Chile: she arranged our travel insurance; found a wonderful, perfectly situated hotel; and arranged knowledgeable and charming local guides. In every instance, her suggestions and referrals were spot on. And as a fluent Spanish speaker, she was able to gather invaluable information that we could not access on our own, so that we had smooth, stress-free connections, even in remote locations. We’re so delighted with Kip that she is now planning trips for our world traveling family members as well.

Our first trip using Kip as our travel advisor was amazing (and I’m not using that word lightly!). From the beginning as we were planning it together, to the actual trip to the debrief it was a terrific experience.

Kip is knowledgeable and very helpful. She listens carefully to make sure she can develop a trip itinerary that meets the wants and needs of her clients. She also has access to travel-related benefits that an ordinary traveler like us would not.

Our trip to Singapore and Bali (including the Komodo Islands) was truly a trip of a lifetime, and it wouldn’t have been possible without her!

We will continue to use her expertise and connections to make more travel memories.

We worked with Kip to arrange a combination river cruise and land cruise in Europe. She was detailed, thorough, and easy to work with. She answered all of our questions and made useful recommendations on places to see and activities to consider, convenient hotels, and great restaurants. She was available during our trip if we needed any assistance. We recommend Kip to arrange your next travel adventures.
