KAREN CREATED THE TRIP OF OUR LIVES... I wanted to celebrate a special occasion with my extended family in Italy. The 14 family members ranged in age from 10 – 80 and had to get to Italy from Lima and New York. We had a family of 4 with two young girls, a family of 4 with two adult boys, and 5 more adults. We wanted a mix of activities from touring in Rome to relaxing somewhere in a large villa that could accommodate all of us. I didn’t have time to plan the trip so I asked Karen for help. Karen first helped us decide WHERE to go – we looked at options in Puglia and Tuscany before deciding on a GORGEOUS villa in Tuscany. Then she helped us with the HOW… She organized flights, hotels, rental cars, transfers and touring. What I appreciated the most was that she thought about everyone when planning the trip. She planned special activities and touring for the two young girls including cooking experiences and family friendly tours in Rome. She made sure the touring and accommodations would also work for my 80 year old mother. All the tours were either private or part of a small group. She took care of LITTLE things like making sure our villa would be pre-stocked with food and organizing a celebratory dinner for all of us upon arrival in Rome and at our villa. Karen is a great travel agent because she has traveled extensively herself, and is extremely well organized. She made sure the trip she planned for us fit OUR family and she was always available to assist us before and during the trip. I highly recommend Karen and VIAKU for planning your next trip.

In 2016 my brother and I decided to take my parents on a long promised trip to see Rome. My parents are in their 70s/80s, and I wanted to make this a very special and enjoyable trip for them. I called Karen because she's a "real traveler" - knows what it takes to fully enjoy the culture, history, food and shopping! I also asked her to help because I had no time with my work schedule to plan this unforgettable trip. She arranged everything - through just a few emails and direction from me. The hotel was perfect, restaurants recommendations were great, and we ended up with the perfect schedule so that my parents got to see all the legendary sites of Rome at a pace that they could handle and enjoy. Our guide was perfect, we had a cooking class, help finding those perfect Roman shops, a driver to make sure we could get to all the sites. It was truly unforgettable and my parents had, in their words, "the experience of a lifetime". I would recommend Karen for any trip, big or small. We can't wait to plan the next amazing family trip!
