Client Stories
​
Our trip to Europe was the first time using a travel agent and I didn't realize what I was missing! My husband and I took our first trip together out of the country, and we were both nervous to the point we almost didn't go. But Kilynn did an amazing job planning a trip around our interests without me having to do hours and hours of research. She worked within our budget and communicated multiple times before our trip. The itinerary was sent to us in advance with all the contact information we needed for easy travel. The hotel locations were absolutely perfect at every destination for what we wanted to see. After traveling with zero stress, my husband and I are already planning our second trip overseas. We will definitely be using Thistlebrook Travel for all of our trips from now on!

Kilynn did such a great job planning our bachelorette trip to the DR! We had a lot of requests for the resort, and after my search I found nothing that checked every box, but luckily, we went to Kilynn, and she found the PERFECT resort for us. We didn’t have to stress about anything leading up to, during, or after the trip. She took the time to ensure that the resort and all of our transportation were wheelchair accessible. Can’t wait to book another trip with her!

I can't recommend Kilynn enough! I was a nervous father as my daughter Sophie and her friend Bella were planning a two week trip through Scotland and Ireland and Kilynn was able to give us so much great advice based on her own experience in these places. She helped steer them to the safest places to stay and the best places to eat and her itinerary helped them make the best of every day. On a side note I'd just like to say that Kilynn is a mom who has taken her children to Scotland recently and I always felt like were were in great hands working with her. She has become one of my favorite people! I highly recommend her!
