I’ve worked with Kara at Two Birds Travel on several work and vacation trips — including cruises and city experiences in Pittsburgh, New York City, Austin, Orlando, Houston, Denver, and Albuquerque — and every trip has been exceptional. From the very first call, Kara was organized, responsive, and clearly knowledgeable about both cruise bookings and city logistics.

Her cruise planning is outstanding. She always finds excellent cabin options at competitive rates, explains onboard fees in a way that’s easy to understand, and handles special requests with real care - like ensuring any allergies or celebrations are communicated to the cruise line.

Her city itineraries are just as impressive. Each one has been well-paced and thoughtfully designed, with insider tours, unique museum picks, outdoor activities, live-music suggestions, and family-friendly attractions with skip-the-line access where it matters most.

Communication is a major strength. Kara responds quickly, sends clear confirmations, and provides proactive reminders for airport transfers, port arrival times, and activity vouchers - making every trip smooth and stress-free.

I would absolutely recommend Two Birds Travel. The value, convenience, problem-solving, and time savings make a huge difference. If you want someone who truly understands both cruise travel and diverse U.S. city experiences, Kara is an exceptional choice.

Kara and Two Birds Travel are simply the best—professional, creative, and a joy to work with. I wouldn’t plan a trip without her!

I’ve known Kara for many years, and even before she started her own travel company, she was planning incredible trips! Whether it was family adventures with our kids or adult getaways, every experience she planned was fun, affordable, and—most importantly for me—stress-free.

Two Birds Travel has become our family’s go-to for all our vacations. Kara helped us plan an unforgettable family trip to Ireland last summer, taking all the guesswork out of where to stay, which tours to book, and even offering great restaurant suggestions along the way. You simply give her your destination and budget, and she handles the rest—you won’t be disappointed.

Right now, she’s helping me plan a 50th birthday trip for my husband. I had no idea where to start, but Kara came back with amazing tour ideas, relaxing activities, and delicious restaurant options I can’t wait to try.
