Testimonials

Hi Kim, just a quick note to say thanks again for the fantastic trips that you booked for us. All the cruises are great. From the time we leave home to the land transfer that you always arrange, everything goes as planned. Our cabin continues to be first class and so are the perks and discounts that you get for us. We would not dream of booking with anyone else but you… whether we travel by land, sea or air.

Kim has been my go-to travel agent for the past several years. With her knowledgeable, friendly assistance, I have been very fortunate to experience amazing memories in destinations like Europe, China, Scandinavia, Caribbean islands, and several cruises. I have traveled both solo and with her groups. Kim takes client care to the ultimate level by conducting and supplying great details and ensuring you fully know all options available. She provides worry free travel with booking all aspects of the trip from start to finish. I appreciate the way she keeps me updated through the entire process. She has a special way of communicating and presenting considerations that I had never previously thought about. I can say with certainty that Travel By Kim, goes above and beyond most travel agents. I have no hesitation to recommend her.

Kim, we send a huge thank you to YOU, for again taking us onboard! From the ‘get-go’ you did it all for us, for which we are truly grateful! I’m thinking, you already know that ‘KIM’ is a household name at the Lewis’. Kim is a great humanitarian and has super organization skills of getting everyone together. Thank you Kim.

Although I have known the Travel Queen for about 10 years, my travels with her began 3 years ago. Our first venture was a 55+ bus trip and we had a blast. We visited one of National Geographic’s top ten places in the World for Christmas Lights. Whether we were playing games on the bus or sitting in a lovely restaurant, we felt revived as we saw sights through children’s eyes. IT was wonderful.

My 2nd adventure was the scariest of all. I was new to travel, and my business was taking off. A producer wanted me in Los Angeles to film a TV show. I had no idea where to stay, how to get my equipment to the TV studio, how to get around LA. One phone call to Kim and all was resolved. We had flights, hotel, car, parking, insurance & transportation to and from airport. All I had to think about was the show.

Our next trip was an Alaskan cruise. The entire trip was amazing. Kim arranged every detail perfectly. For my husband and I who were celebrating our 50th anniversary, this was a once in a lifetime experience. The cabin Kim selected for both us and our friends was unbelievable, she even placed us beside each other and had concierge remove the balcony panel so we could benefit from a double verandah. The sights were breathtaking and the train ride she recommended to Anchorage was stunning. We are so pleased we followed her suggestions. We wanted flight changes to make our return travel day shorter. Without hesitation she suggested an alternate route through Seattle, graciously made the changes promptly and provided new documents with zero effort on our part. As a businesswoman, I was thrilled at the service provided.

I have used her services for a variety of travel from simple flight booking to complete packages. She has earned our trust. Kim is impeccably organized, delightful, and thoughtful. She has explained ways to cut cost and always provided great value.

I have been on many journeys arranged by Kim over the years that have taken me around the globe. Some she escorted personally while others were taken solo. Although my 35 days Asian tour was fantastic, I think I have to say that the educational excursion to Cuba was the most outstanding. Kim put together a small group consisting of 16 likeminded Americans. This was a long-awaited trip that my deceased husband never got to take. Although I was alone, he was with me every step of the way.

We had beautiful weather, fantastic private tours, and an amazing evening at the Tropicana. Our guides were all very highly educated and astonishing. This journey was very close to my heart. Everything from the initial private pick up to the final return was handled with the utmost professionalism. Cuba is an educational trip that I will never forget. Thank you Kim.

Kim, our travel experiences with you have been superb! Always so well planned and worry-free. Whether it was a Dinner Cruise in St. Pete’s, a Bus Tour to Florida Keys or our absolutely enjoyable New Orleans trip we were totally hooked on “Travel with Kim”.

That is why Clarance and I didn’t hesitate when we were invited to Cancun for a family wedding. From the initial contact with you we knew we were in good hands. Kim, you went above and beyond to make our vacation amazing. Every detail was organized, we flew from Tampa with a detailed bound copy of our itinerary that would take us to and fro. We had the best airfare connections, transportation to and from airports, travel insurance arranged and best of all our suite was the envy of family members. It was a beautiful memorable trip thanks to your organization.

We so appreciated the fact that you were available for support when we had concerns and advice about Covid-19. Thanks for being accessible, we felt taken care of all the way.

Clarance and I are looking forward to our next adventure when we resume Life after Covid-19. Hopefully the trip to Europe we talked about. Thanks so much for being so Professional.

Kim Paquette, we thank you for your amazing service, especially when we were stranded in the middle of the night in Malaga Spain with a cancelled flight due to the French Airspace Closure amid the COVID 19 Crisis in March 2020. My text and email to you was answered within minutes and we were so incredibly appreciative of your help as we stood at the airport in Malaga at 3:30am. We always appreciate your positive and yet realistic approach. Thanks Kim.

Kim was well received by many people, very professional. She was able to answer everyone’s questions and made us feel good about signing up for a group trip on Royal Caribbean. I can’t say enough about the way she guided us through he entire process, this being our first cruise, we didn’t have a clue. Kim kept us updated with emails and phone calls constantly. She guided us through everything from start to finish. It was one of best experiences we have ever had.

To celebrate our 60th Anniversary, we decided to join Kim’s small group cruise to Alaska. She absolutely walked us through every step, from flights, to transfers to the Holland America ship layout. The entire trip, cruise, land to Denali, all ports, tickets, maps, luggage, hotels, side trips, glacier hiking, etc. We actually never lifted a suit case from the time we left Denver Airport until we arrived back home. All of this was because of the professional way Kim takes care of her clients. She is always looking out for all of us and trying to give us the most for our dollar.

March 2020 we signed up for the Panama Cruise on the Celebrity Edge departing Feb 14, 2022 and are very excited. Her presentation was amazing and we believe, anyone that would have an opportunity to work with Kim in the World of Travel would be very lucky.

Garry and I booked a magical 7 day Mediterranean cruise with an added 10 day transatlantic cruise back to our winter residence in Florida. We experienced many Bucket List dreams and created wonderful memories. Kim guided us through this very busy itinerary with so much patience. We couldn’t have asked for a better travel agent to help us.

We booked Caribbean cruises with various cruise lines all with Kim’s expertise. Each cruise was awesome because of Kim’s attention to detail. We have recommended Kim to friends and family as our travel agent., We can’t express how well everything turned out and we owe it all to Kim’s organizational skills.

Our last cruise was an 11day New Orleans, Mexico cruise that we booked through Kim. She was also able to flip the entire group into the lowest price offered while adding all the perks plus giving us $640 on board credit. We will definitely be booking all our trips with her. She was amazing. In these crazy times of Covid 19 I often think of all the fun I had on this cruise and it always makes me smile. This cruise was perfection with family and friends who loved to laugh. Thank you Kim for giving us this wonderful memory.

Imagine the logistics of arranging 75 days of travel from flights, private transfers, two cruises, hotel stays, insurance and spread over two months of “bucket list” journeys. Over our lifetime, my wife and I have traveled to many parts of the world using a variety of transportation modes, including our thumb. We have stayed at some of the finest luxurious establishments to places we would never recommend.

We wanted something different for our 50th anniversary and Kim provided a unique opportunity that fit our lifestyle. Careful decisions were made and incorporated into a beautiful laid out plan. She provided opportunity to perk each area of our interests from unparallel lectures, ample opportunities for discovery, cultural experiences, physical activities and plenty of entertainment and leisure.

It was so exciting and perfect we hoped it would never end. Thank you, Kim, for the wonderful memories of our 50th wedding anniversary.

Dawson and Cathy Bick, Peterborough, ON

We have truly enjoyed our past group trips with Kim, especially the Royal Caribbean cruise. Our price was amazing, service impeccable and planning was so easy. Her bus trips were equally as exciting from beginning to end. I have travelled with her twice to the Caribbean, once to Jamaica, and once to NYC. All were amazing group trips.
