Krista Kaplan planned and executed our July 2026 trip to the US Northeast states of Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts with absolute aplomb and calm attentiveness. We had never visited this part of the USA and she suggested and planned the best hotels and activities/tours in all of our locations despite the busy July 4th holiday. She knocked it out of the park with her choice of the Captains Collection for our hotel in Kennebunkport, Maine. To say we loved this hotel is an understatement. In fact, we look forward to working with Krista again on a return trip to Maine in 2027, this time exploring Kennebunkport, as well as Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park! Thank you Krista!
