Tucson Travel Agent for River Cruises, Luxury and Family Vacations

Travel should be as exciting to plan as it is to take. I’m Kat Herman, a travel advisor (what most people still call a travel agent) based in Marana, Arizona. I’ve been to 26+ countries, sailed everything from mega ships to river ships, and I plan every trip like it’s my own.

Tell me your dreams, your must-haves and your never-agains. I’ll handle the rest.

How Planning With Me Works

Tell Me About Your Trip

Fill out my trip questionnaire or give me a call. I want to know who's traveling, what you love and what you never want to do again.

I Build Your Options

I research, compare and send you options I'd book myself. You'll hear back from me within one business day.

I Book and Support
Your Trip

I handle deposits, payments, flights, transfers and travel insurance. If anything changes before or during your trip, you have a direct line to me, not a 1-800 number.

Pricing is the same or better than booking direct, plus you get my personal service from start to finish. Payment and cancellation terms are always shared with you before your first payment.

What My Travelers Say

Diane F., Dallas

"Kat put together our post cruise itinerary and she is absolutely amazing. Any hiccups that happened she knows before we do and has it taken care of by the time we knew anything was not going right. It does not matter where you live, she is available to plan your trips."
