Each trip allows us to gain a deeper understanding of your preferences, ultimately resulting in more meaningful travel experiences and memories to last a lifetime.

Our Process

Collaboration

We establish open lines of communication to brainstorm ideas, answer questions, provide guidance and develop the strategy necessary to execute a flawless itinerary. We work closely with you to understand your likes and dislikes, preferred travel style and specific travel needs. We answer questions you didn’t know you had and read between the lines to ensure each component of your trip is carefully customized according to your interests.

Itinerary Development

We design a fully customized itinerary proposal and provide thoughtful explanations for each component (e.g. number of days suggested in each destination, specific properties that best align with your preferences, overall itinerary flow, logistical considerations and costs). Prioritizing transparency, efficiency and safety, we are committed to ensuring each itinerary is comprised of unique and seamless experiences that are carefully crafted to exceed your expectations.

Confirmation

We book and confirm all components of your itinerary, from hotels and flights to guided tours, activities, restaurant reservations, spa treatments, transfers, travel insurance and more! We provide you with a comprehensive itinerary encompassing your day-to-day schedule, contact information and other helpful details, such as packing lists, gratuity guidelines and insider tips. Our itineraries are also linked to an app, providing convenient access to your travel details and documents right on your smartphone.

What Our Clients Are Saying About KKTWW

KK Travels Worldwide is truly a world-class luxury travel agency. We have used them for both minimoon and honeymoon planning. Every interaction with their team is professional, knowledgeable and detail oriented. Especially in the ever-changing world of COVID travel, they've helped us navigate every situation efficiently and with grace (cancellations, flight changes, rescheduling, etc.). Due to their extensive industry relationships, we've also received amazing benefits with each booking like free breakfast, resort credits and additional perks like a champagne welcome on arrival. They are truly full-service. Give their team an idea of what you're looking for and they'll handle hotels, flight bookings, restaurants, spas, transportation, etc. It's white glove service all the way!

- Emily S.

We were lucky to find KK Travels Worldwide about three years ago, and now we wouldn't travel without them. I find them valuable in 3 primary ways: 1) They are extraordinary with ideas & help whittle down a world full of options (literally) into the perfect spot. I email or call Annie & Kristen, give basic parameters of what I'm looking for, and they come back with options and refine until we land on a spot. 2) They provide an amazing value. Basically, every trip we've done through them has come with daily resort credits, daily meal credits, and/or upgrades. I can definitively say we save money and enhance our experience by using them. 3) They take the thinking and pressure off travel. There are more resources than ever to research, etc., but there are more potential destinations than ever. Feeling confident that you're making a good travel decision is virtually impossible without having a guide. KKTWW is that guide for us, and we'll use them as long as we travel. As a side note, they are also amazingly helpful with business travel and logistics. I'd highly recommend on that front as well.

- Joey O.

My experience with KK Travels Worldwide has been nothing short of amazing! I recently worked with Alex Korey to plan my honeymoon and cannot recommend her or this company enough. Throughout the past year and a half, we ended up planning multiple itineraries due to international travel restrictions, COVID cancellations, etc. Alex handled each situation with the utmost professionalism, patience and grace. Always positive and upbeat, she managed to take the stress out of everything and still make the planning process fun despite it being such a crazy year! The trip ran so smoothly due to Alex's excellent foresight and planning, and we were greeted with special KKTWW touches at each stop. I can't thank her enough for helping to make this whole process - and the actual honeymoon - such a bright spot in my year! This team is truly the BEST, and I can't imagine planning a trip without them moving forward!!

- Ginna E.

KK Travels Worldwide has helped our family with multiple vacations over the past few years – some last-minute trips, some planned well in advance, some to new places, some to old-favorites. Each trip has been as excellent as advertised. Annie Lee Barber always does a fantastic job listening to what we are looking for, gives us options that stay within our budget, and challenges our assumptions for what will make the trip even more special than we are hoping for. This is the best luxury travel agency we have ever worked with, can't recommend them any higher. First class operation.

- Daniel P.

KK Travels Worldwide arranged a magnificent trip for my wife and me to The Grand Tetons and Yellowstone. Their attention to details while setting up private tours of both National Parks and float trips down the Snake River was professional and with the right amount of personal touch! Arranging beautiful hotels and suggesting the right things to see and do was spot on! This allowed for a most memorable trip that we will cherish for our lifetime. We are grateful and blessed to know such a wonderful group as KK Travels Worldwide!

- Tom A.

I have been so happy with the multiple trips KK Travels Worldwide has booked for my family. We first used the company to book our honeymoon safari. I can’t imagine how involved booking every aspect of the safari trip is, and then to have to rebook it all! Kristen and her team made a process that could have been extremely stressful easy. Since then, they have booked 4 more trips, have responded to my millions of emails rapidly, helped me rebook and cancel again due to Covid, and overall provide such a great service. I’m sure under normal circumstances, they are a joy to work with but in a pandemic, they have been exceptional.

- Haley S.

KK Travels Worldwide is the best travel agency I've ever worked with. They booked my last three trips, and all of our reservations were scheduled perfectly. Kristen and Maggie were wonderful to work with, very attentive and knowledgeable; they know the best hotels and travel spots in the world. The price was reasonable, and there is really nobody better in this business. Many thanks for making our vacations the best ever!!

- Maria C.

I worked with Ashlyn Sargent to plan my honeymoon. Our first plan was to travel internationally to multiple countries and Ashlyn did a fantastic job making recommendations and setting up all reservations. She was also extremely helpful when we had to cancel our trip. No matter how many times we changed our mind or wanted to explore different accommodations or locales, Ashlyn was quick to provide all the information we needed. I can't imagine sifting through all of the options without her help and intel. When it came time to re-plan our honeymoon within the US, Ashlyn was again quick with recommendations and knowledgeable about different amenities and pros/cons of different resorts and locations. Our stay in Miami (where we ultimately decided to honeymoon) was incredible. The accommodations Ashlyn helped arrange for us were everything she promised. It was so nice to relax during the vacation knowing Ashlyn was there in case we needed anything. I won't hesitate to work with her for future trips because she truly made planning a breeze.

- Rachel G.

Annie is our client services director we engage with when we plan trips. She is quick to respond, wonderful with suggestions and we find more often than not able to secure a better rate for us with additional perks.

- Richard G.

We recently returned from a holiday trip planned and organized with the KK Team. While we are seasoned travelers this was our first experience utilizing KK's services and we are pleased to report they did an outstanding job! Their attention to detail and responsiveness is first class! We will be repeat clients and we highly recommend KK Travels Worldwide!

- P. D.

I have used KK Travels Worldwide for several vacations. From The Ranch at Rock Creek, Eden Rock St. Barth's, to safari in Africa, just to name a few. No stone was left unturned in the careful planning of my holidays. Every detail from transportation, excursions tailored to our families’ interests, dinners, access to private beach clubs, etc. are superb. Kristen and Annie go above and beyond to accommodate my every wish. They are extremely knowledgeable, professional, timely, detailed (noticed my passport expiration before I did and schedule my itineraries perfectly) but what I appreciate most is that over the years they have taken the time to study and make note of what makes me happy when I am away. I can't say enough good things about KK Travels. They are the best!

- Michelle M.

Annie handles all of our travel, and the only way to describe her is top notch. Very knowledgeable, responsive and very detail focused. We highly recommend KK Travels; Kristen has put together an excellent team and we have already started working on our next adventure with them.

- Mike G.

We used the team at KK Travels, Maggie and Kristen, to pull together a fantastic 60th birthday celebration for us and our family. They worked within our budget and provided a number of different options that were interesting. When it came time to arriving, everything was in order and they topped it off with a thoughtful welcome gift from the hotel. No detail too small! Great job and will continue to use them for our trips.

- Charles W.

We had a wonderful trip that was complex to arrange given COVID and KK Travels Worldwide executed flawlessly on it with unique amenities that we would not have received from others. I would highly recommend their service vs booking online or AMEX FHR if you're taking a luxury vacation.

- Jennifer G.

KK Travels Worldwide is THE BEST travel advisory firm. They have booked everything from small weekend "staycations" to across the world complicated weeks-long vacations and everything in between for our family. They always suggest the most incredible locations and are so knowledgeable about each property. They are almost always able to add in something special like a room upgrade or a spa service. They are always so helpful, kind and patient even with some of our more last minute or high maintenance requests. We will never use anyone else!

- Brooke R.

Annie and her team always provide the best service and plan a perfect luxurious stay for my husband and I wherever we go! We look forward to continuously using them for future endeavors!

- Autumn J.

I am not sure I can say enough about KKTWW. I am addicted to travel and love to plan, but when work got too busy in the midst of trying to plan a trip to Thailand for family, a friend suggested I reach out to Kristen and the team. Our trip was beyond exceptional – Maggie and Annie did an amazing job of listening to everything we were hoping to experience and created a “once-in-a-lifetime” itinerary for us. I put that in quotes because we are working on “once-in-a-lifetime” trip number three! From arranging accommodations at an elephant preserve, the perfect river location in Chiang Mai for their bucket list lantern festival, to an insanely beautiful resort in Phuket – our entire trip was planned flawlessly. My Dad has mobility issues that requires extra planning – they fine tune each itinerary to ensure that every last detail is taken care of. Kristen’s experience with Italy on a subsequent trip was invaluable, as she and Maggie made a bucket list trip to Positano possible for him last year. Definitely not a place for the mobility challenged – I really think you need to be part mountain goat to get around the Amalfi Coast! But you never would have known - everything was so seamlessly planned. I really don't think there is anything the team at KKTWW can't make happen. The level of service KKTWW provides is bar none and they are super easy to work with – at every step, the team is always 10 steps ahead of me with well thought out recommendations during the planning process and an app to keep us connected and organized while abroad. So while I do love love love to plan – with the KKTWW team, I really don’t have to do anything, as I am confident they will plan a luxury travel experience that is beyond compare. I can’t recommend KKTWW highly enough. I can’t wait to travel with them again SOON!

- Jennifer K.

I can’t recommend KKTWW highly enough. I won’t be using any other travel company – they are the very best.

- Margaret N.

Where do I start? TBH, I've never worked with a travel expert before... choosing to typically take my chances and go it on my own. Sometimes that works, sometimes it's a big 'ole pain in the rear. Working with Nora at KK Travels has made me rethink why I haven't worked with a travel company earlier. Nora's been super communicative, amazingly helpful, and overall has made the whole experience so pain-free. The trip we booked to the Bahamas is what I consider pretty straight-forward, but I cannot wait to plan some elaborate adventures with Nora and KK Travels!

- Ali R.

We worked with Mason W. to plan our wedding and trip to Greece, and she was fantastic. Very patient, accommodating and knowledgeable.

- Adam M.

I use KK Travels Worldwide every year for our family vacations! I have to say that Annie has gone above and beyond in spoiling us. Her response time is quick and thorough. The team goes out of their way to make sure every last detail is facilitated perfectly. She almost always gets us upgraded and has a bottle of champagne sent to us! My husband and I have 3 grown children and trying to find an accommodation that is the right fit for all of us can be a hassle. Luckily with Annie and the amazing KKTWW team, we never have to worry about what to expect. I highly recommend booking your next vacation with the KKTWW team!

- Amber R.

With full-time jobs and being parents, it is difficult to find time to plan your adventure and travel with a young child. Miriam of KKTWW came to our rescue as she did a fabulous job of helping us plan our family vacation to Whistler and Vancouver in Canada. From selecting our luxury accommodations, to dining reservations, to recommendations of activities, Miriam did a fantastic job in catering to the needs of our family and providing us with a worry free, luxury travel experience! With each step of our planning, Miriam always provided us with several alternatives, along with her thoughts and suggestions. Based upon our experience of working with Miriam, as a mom I now default to Miriam always knows best - really it should be a hashtag: #miriamknowsbestKKTWWtravel! Our Canadian adventure demonstrated her expertise. At each hotel we stayed at, Miriam ensured that our young child was well taken care of as she had already arranged all the necessities that a young child would need – crib, diaper pail, etc. We basically had to just arrive with our young child! :) We experienced the same thing for dining, as Miriam coordinated all the reservations and made sure the restaurants knew we had a young child with us. Miriam made it easy for our family to vacation without much thought as she took care of all the logistics for us! Not to mention, the perks you receive from being a KKTWW client, as usually upon check in, you may be surprised with an out-of-this-world upgrade, as what happened in Vancouver for us, as we had a 180 degree view of Coal Harbour. Words cannot express the kind of out-of-the-world luxury travel experiences Miriam and KKTWW provides. Our young family is now a huge fan! This is why we entrusted Miriam of KKTWW with our upcoming international adventure! Thank you for all that you do, Miriam! You are FABULOUS! <3

- Linda V.

I have had three wonderful luxury travel experiences with KK Travels Worldwide. My KKTWW travel consultant perfectly executed my vacations to a luxury villa in Costa Rica, Le Guanahani in St. Barths, and several luxury hotels all across Morocco. She provided me with an app that outlined my itinerary for each trip along with contact information for each hotel, which was beyond helpful, and was always available to me 24/7 on every trip. She used my questionnaire answers to cater to my specific requests from the activities I wanted to do down to my food allergies and favorite beverage. There is always a hand-written note from KKTWW and complimentary beverage waiting for me when I arrive, and the rapport KKTWW has with the hotel staff really enhances the experience. I can't wait to go on my next KKTWW luxury vacation!

- Mary D.

I cannot say enough good things about kk travels worldwide. My husband and I had to cancel our original honeymoon plans a week in advance because of covid and decided to re-route to St Barths. Annie and Kristen put together the most incredible itinerary for us in just a few days. They listen to your interests and needs, and create your schedule based on that. They are so responsive, answering my emails within minutes, and extremely on top of everything COVID wise as well. They told us exactly what we needed to travel and helped organize all of our covid tests. Not a detail was missed with these two! The agency got us reservations at the best restaurants only days in advance and made sure we were always well taken care of! They organized a car rental for us which was waiting at the villa when we arrived. We truly didn’t have to think about any logistics bc of them and we were able to focus on enjoying our honeymoon! Thank you KK Travels!!

- Dani G.

Working with KK Travels Worldwide was a fantastic idea! A friend of mine referred me to Ashlyn and she was amazing to work with. She looked at so many options for our trip and was very patient as we made our decision. The perks that were offered when working through KK Travels made the trip even better. I would absolutely recommend working with them and Ashlyn specifically. I cannot wait to plan our next trip!

- Claire K.

This was our first time using KK Travels for a much needed adult getaway to St. Barts and Ashlyn couldn't have been better to work with! She helped us narrow down our options based on what we were looking for, kept us up to date with all the COVID travel changes and was incredibly responsive with any questions! We can't wait to use Ashlyn and KK Travels again for our next trip.

- Ashley G.

We love working with KK Travels! Even with the easy option of online booking, I know that KKTWW will always take the best care of us and make local recommendations and reservations we could not find or secure on our own. The hotels seem to love them as well because we always get special gifts throughout our stay when we book through KKTWW.

- Caroline R.

I've worked with KK Travels Worldwide for over 10 years. They offer the best insight, advice, and provide a great deal of value. We often not only end up at the right place for us, but get upgrades and outstanding service. We've worked with them for trips all over the world. Highly recommend!

- Jimmy A.

We had such an amazing time on our recent (and first time) trip to St. Barths! All of the team at KK Travels did such an amazing job with every last detail and we loved every minute of our trip. Our stay at Eden Rock will go down in the books as one of our favorites of all time. We are forever grateful to KK's team and will use them for all of our subsequent trips!!

- Emily W.

We have been working with KK Travels Worldwide for about six years and would highly recommend their services. As two entrepreneurs and business owners, my husband and I expect prompt communication and attention to detail, and KK consistently delivers. The KK team is in constant touch with resort/hotel staff and restauranteurs to ensure top tier service and accommodations; our trips to London, Paris, Salzburg, Munich, California, North Carolina, St. Barths and beyond have been unique and logistically smooth. In fact, when we experienced a problem with our hotel in Paris several years back, I was on the phone with KK to request a shift in accommodations, and KK made it happen immediately and with no hassle to us. We are extremely appreciative of their hard work to ensure that each trip we take is perfect, and we highly recommend the KK team for any travel from one night to one month, close by or far away.
