  • 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.

    -Martha R.

  • 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.

    -Anonymous

  • 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.

    -Martha R.

  • 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!

    -Shannon F.

  • 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.
