Krysten was awesome! I’m very thankful we reached out to her for a last-minute trip! She provided several options based on our preferences, timeframe, and budget. All of the options looked incredible! Krysten was very responsive and made sure that everything was going as it should throughout our trip. Krysten is the best!
This was truly the trip of a lifetime. Krysten curated an extraordinary travel experience—one I had dreamed of for years—with exceptional attention to detail. Every element, from the carefully selected hotels to the ideal locations and seamless itinerary, reflected her dedication to excellence. Krysten consistently prioritizes her clients’ best interests, ensuring they receive outstanding value, quality, and service. Her expertise and thoughtful planning made this journey unforgettable. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Where do I begin to praise Krysten from The Unpacked Suitcase. Krysten not only became my travel advisor but my support team and friend while abroad. Krysten was available 24/7 for any concerns even when it occurred at 4am due to time change. We had some hiccups on our trip and she was there by text or phone immediately. We also talked numerous times prior to the trip for planning purposes. We had the most memorable trip to Italy and it is all owed to her planning and guidance. She is so knowledgeable and worldwide travel and she will be my forever trip planner. I highly highly recommend Krysten with The Unpacked Suitcase.
Loved the trip planning experience and would highly recommend. Krysten took the time to get to know our travel flow and the experiences we would prefer. We had an amazing and memorable trip with a variety of experiences at a price point in our budget. The accommodations were top notch and in an easily walkable location.
