Perfect Trip to Iceland!
Working with Cathy was great. She took care of everything from start to finish. Cathy checked in with me periodically during the trip to ensure everything was going well. I appreciate Cathy’s professionalism and attention to detail. She is the only travel advisor I use.
Italian Honeymoon!
I’d like to express my sincere gratitude to Cathy and Amore Travel Designs for planning the most incredible and stress-free trip of a lifetime. From the initial consultation to the final day of our adventure, Cathy demonstrated exceptional expertise, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to ensuring our complete satisfaction. Cathy listened to our preferences, tailoring the itinerary to perfectly align with our interests. The accommodations were luxurious and comfortable, the transportation was efficient and convenient, and the activities were the perfect mix of exciting and relaxing. Every aspect of our trip was flawlessly organized, leaving us free to simply enjoy each moment. Thank you again for everything, Cathy!
Trip to Italy!
Cathy did an amazing job planning our trip to Italy! The hotels and tours were wonderful. All of our tour guides and drivers were top notch. I will definitely use Cathy again to plan our next adventure. Highly recommend!
Italian Adventure!
Cathy planned for us a pre-cruise 3 day trip to Rome, a cruise after and a post cruise trip to Florence. The hotels we were booked at were delightful—very comfortable with awesome atmosphere and service. She arranged interesting tours and took care of arrangements for travel to and from airports and to and from ship for our destinations. She always responded promptly to the many questions we had during and after the planning phase. Will definitely use her for future travel.
Italian Anniversary!
My husband and I celebrated our 25th anniversary with a trip to Italy. We reached out to Cathy for help with the details and planning. This trip exceeded every expectation we had. Not only did Cathy create an incredible itinerary, she was extremely communicative every step of the way. I am not exaggerating when I say that not a single thing went wrong in the 10 days we were there. If you’re looking to book a dream vacation, I highly recommend working with Cathy. This was the trip of a lifetime, and we are so grateful for the memories made!
River Cruising on the Rhine!
“This was the second time that my husband and I used Cathy Rowland with Amore Travel to coordinate our trip to Europe. Everything was perfect, once again! We will definitely be calling Cathy to coordinate our future trips!”
Superb Destination wedding!
Cathy was beyond amazing! I called her and let her know I wanted to have a wedding in Cancun September of 2024! She sent me high rated options and once I picked a resort she made me a site to send out to all my friends and family! She was easy to work with and made sure all our needs were met!
France & Italy Trip!
What a great trip! We had the best trip with no issues. 2 countries, 4 stops with planes, trains and automobiles! Cathy did an amazing job! We loved all the tours and the communication was superb. We will definitely use Cathy again!
Outstanding!
Cathy and Richard planned our perfect extended family vacation to Lisbon and Seville. All tours were conducted by knowledgeable locals who spoke perfect English and were also willing to make adjustments to the tour as needed to accommodate small children. All of our transports were on time and very professional. Amazing experience thanks to Amore Travel Designs. I will be using their services again for sure!
Exceeded Expectations!
Amore Travel Designs far exceeded my expectations. At 43 yoa, I had never used a travel agent and had some hesitations; however, I don’t know if I’ll ever plan my own vacation again. Cathy listened to my vision for a 20-year anniversary trip, made inquiries, and came back with multiple options and experience-based opinions. She and her staff were always available or responsive, and I mean return emails and calls within hours responsive, and always with a competent, cheerful response. Amore Travel didn’t rest after travel was booked either, as they continued to help even during the vacation. If you are going to use a travel company, I can’t imagine there is a better one out there. I’ll be using Amore for all my future travel planning and booking. My wife and I thank you sincerely.
Exceptional!
“Cathy is exceptional! Right out of the gate we reached out and she and her husband went right to work. Had our 10 day trip planned out within a couple days. We reviewed, and did all the transactional stuff and we were off and running. They were so good about following up with all of our MANY questions, and even kept up with us throughout our trip!! They completely customized our trip to our needs, and my family and I could not have been happier. We got delayed on one of our connections had a layover (no fault of Cathy, an activist glued themselves to the tarmac in Germany), and they kept up with us through the setback. I would in a heartbeat go through a trip with Cathy again, no question. She took all of the hassle out of our vacation so all we had to do was enjoy ourselves. They have a handy app that really helps keep you on track as well. Thanks you guys, our little family was so pleased!!”
A Great Adventure!
Cathy did all the work. She asked me what I wanted out of my trip. She took my cryptic response and came up with the adventure me and my daughters only could dream of. The private tours, the culinary tours and the wine tastings made for a great adventure. My daughters co-worker asked for Cathy’s info, because of how happy my daughter was with everything Cathy came up with.
Turkey & Cairo!
She was great to work with! Cathy would answer my email questions late into the night. She’s an excellent communicator.
Amazing Croatia Trip!
Cathy is exceptional at putting together trips based on your personality and preferences. Everything we did on our tours was customized to us and they were extraordinary.
Professional and Responsive!
We appreciated the initial consultation to determine if Amore Travel was a good fit for us. Japan is one of her specialties, but we were not her typical luxury travelers, she and her team came up with an itinerary that included some lovely hotels that we wouldn’t have thought of and helped us make decisions we were struggling with. When we had a glitch with a tour, she was quick to respond and a refund was issued the next day while we were still traveling. Thank you for helping us make this a great trip!
Family Italian Vacation!
Everything was planned out perfectly, and to our family’s liking. Cathy made our trip to Italy low stress and full of adventure! Just what we were looking for.
Italian Anniversary Trip!
It was a pleasure working with Cathy to plan our trip to Italy for our 25th anniversary. She did a Fantastic job giving us ideas, communicating with us and making a few changes for us. This trip was the best trip we have been on. Cathy had everything set up and communication on any time changes were communicated to us so we were always aware of what was going on. Our personal drivers were all wonderful too. The places Cathy recommended for us were Perfect! We will definitely use Cathy for our next trip as we already want to visit Italy again! I would. Definitely give her 5 Stars!
Family Italian Vacation!
It was great working with Cathy. She designed a great trip across Italy. Everything went off without a flaw. All guides and drivers were there right on time. The tours she arranged were all great. We had a great trip and we will be using Cathy’s services for our next trip.
Marco Island!
Cathy was so great and helpful! Quick to respond to all my questions. Will be calling her for all my traveling needs in the future.
Spectacular Spain!
“We had a great time and found the accommodations to be quite lovely and nicely located. The transportation arrangements were fantastic. The walking tours that were set up were amazing. Thank you Cathy for putting this trip together for us. We will definitely refer others to you for your services.”
Northern Italy!
Cathy was great to work with making changes to our schedule to meet our needs before the the trip. Pre trip she sent us our updated itinerary. During the trip we were sent updates of delayed flights, etc
Wonderful Family Vacation!
I want to thank you for the wonderful trip that you planned for our family vacation. We had an amazing time visiting all the wonderful sights that you felt were so worth the time to see. I cannot tell you which one was my favorite, they were all my favorites. The hotels were magnificent, each and every one. Our guides were so well informed and entertaining as well as very nice people. We learned a lot of history from them.
We ate our way through every city, trying all the pizza, pasta, and gelato places in Italy. The food in Budapest was also amazing, we tried all the local specialties. So delicious.
You did an amazing job, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. We will not be able to forget what a great time we all had. Looking forward to doing another trip with you.
Foodie European Tour!
We had a really great experience with Cathy. She planned an amazing European foodie trip that I still talk about 8 months later. She listened to us and was able to find unique experiences, including a Sherlock Holmes, pub tour, and cooking classes. When we were running late for one of our excursions, they called her, and she was able to bridge the gap and made sure we didn’t miss the experience. I would definitely work with her again.
Sensational Spain Trip
Cathy was so great and helpful. Truly our trip was a dream come true. It couldn’t have gone better. She took all of our needs/interests in to account and had everything covered. We even had a contact in Spain (where our trip was) that texted all the contact information for drivers, tour guides, etc the afternoon before any plans. I would recommend Cathy’s service to anyone.
Month Long Europe Trip!
My husband and I just returned from a month in Europe. Paris, Normandy, Viking cruise, Switzerland and ending in Munich. The entire trip was planned by Cathy. The app that she provided helped us be in the right place at the right time every day. She also helped us book excursions throughout the trip. She gave us so many great ideas of what to see in each location. She has become our go to travel agent. Ray & Marlene
Amazing Italy Trip
A quick note to thank you for the attention to detail you put into planning our trip to Italy. Everything was wonderfully detailed and, even when the hotel swapped us to another location, you were right there to ensure our transportation was taken care of. This is our first experience working with a travel advisor and you have exceeded our expectations. Thank you for the lovely trip!!
Warmly ~ Gina
Italy Trip!
Cathy was so accommodating, she worked with me to plan a wonderful experience. We have a great time and made it really stress free. When we had questions she answered them very quickly. Was great working with her, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her business.
Thoughtful, informed, helpful service
We have been so pleased with the help we received from Cathy. She asked some questions about what we wanted in a trip to Italy, some of our parameters, and very quickly designed an itinerary suited to us. We made a few adjustments which she readily made, and viola! we had a trip planned. Once, we needed to make a change mid-trip, and she took care of that in just the right way. We’ve already told some friends about her service, and we give her the highest marks in her knowledgeable and friendly service. We heartily recommend her travel services.
Amazing Italy Trip!
Cathy from Amore Travel Designs designed our dream family vacation to Italy! She worked closely with us every step of the way on budget, hotels, tours, restaurants, and transportation. The tours she chose were absolutely amazing and we saw parts of Italy we couldn’t have dreamed of seeing. If you’re looking for a comprehensive and service-oriented travel advisor, Cathy is your person. We would highly recommend her and will use her again for our family.
Spaintastic!
Cathy is a pleasure and a huge help in planning our trips. She takes all the worry out of it especially since my wife and I are much older and need all the help we can get. Cathy makes sure she understands what we want to accomplish and see as well as giving you a lot of other options to choose from. Without her advice we would have missed a lot. This was an amazing adventure in Spain and Portugal and I cant wait for our next one.
A wonderful experience!
Cathy is so great. I am so well taken care of from my departure airport until I arrive home. She is very caring and professional. I recommend Cathy to all my friends and new acquaintances that travel.
Off to Punta Cana!
From beginning to end Cathy Rowland’s customer services was wonderful. It made trip planning easy. She always returned my calls or emails within a reasonable amount of time. Especially the day before my trip when I was panicking. I received texts/emails about gate changes at the airport.
Outstanding Job!!
My husband and I had the most AMAZING European vacation last fall, traveling to 18 cities in 7 countries in 36 days! It was our first time to Europe, so we relied on Cathy Rowland with Amore Travel Designs (discovered her on Google with great reviews) to plan our trip around the places and sites that we wanted to visit most. Cathy had the transportation from place to place, hotels, and excursions planned perfectly. She included just the right amount of relaxation and personal time in each destination and gave us travel trips and other recommendations along the way! We had so much fun and are now ready to start planning our next vacation for fall 2024 (although it will have to be a shorter one)!
Canadian Adventure
Cathy helped plan a very beautiful trip to Canada. She made all the arrangements from the hotels to car rental to plane tickets. Our main reason for going to Canada was to stay at the ice hotel . She arranged that and tours of Quebec City and Montreal. We did a few things on our own along the way. It was a great experience and a wonderful vacation.
Superb Job!!
Cathy did a superb job in arranging our dream vacation in France. We spent 15 glorious days starting in Paris, then exploring the wine country, side trips to Chartres and Beaune, and ending in Nice. The itinerary included some fantastic private tours, but also included non-structured free time that allowed us to relax and explore some places on our own. The accommodations were first-rate and the private cars to and from the airport greatly reduced the stress of travel. Considering all the things we did and all the lovely memories we made, the cost was quite reasonable.
The hotels that Cathy selected were perfect for us. In Paris, the Select Hotel Rive Gauche was a delightful little boutique hotel in the Latin Quarter right in the middle of the Sorbonne. Our room overlooked the square where university students gathered, and we could open our window and hear music in the evening. Although breakfast was included, there were charming places right outside the door for a quick snack or full meal. The hotel was just a short walk to the lovely Jardin du Luxembourg with its fragrant chestnut trees, boat pond of movie fame, and even a small version of the Statue of Liberty. The hotel was also a short walk to the Cluny Metro station, and a longer walk to the St. Germain neighborhood, the Seine, and Notre Dame. Hotels in Dijon and Lyon were lovely “Belle Epoch” buildings right in the center of town. And the hotel in Nice was right on the Promenade des Anglais with a balcony that faced the Mediterranean. Once again, all within walking distance of great restaurants, charming market places, and other points of interest. Great accommodations in perfect locations.
The private guided tours exceeded our expectations. The tour guides were fantastic people, extensively knowledgeable, and extremely cordial. And their English language proficiency was impeccable. The guide for Versailles drove us to the gardens early in the morning before the crowds arrived, and he tailored the tour of the palace to our particular interests in terms of history. He also gave us some good advice about places to see as we explored parts of Paris on our own. The chef for our cooking class took us to a famous marketplace in the Latin Quarter, told us about the history of cheese, and then gave us a hands-on experience in preparing a great French meal, which we joyfully ate afterwards. We sipped champagne at the top of the Eiffel Tower, and then enjoyed a very romantic evening dinner cruise on the Seine with a table facing the window as we floated by Paris at night. And when we took the wine tours in Burgundy and the Rhone valley we learned many things we didn’t know (and sampled some fantastic “Grand Cru” wines).
Working with Amore was hassle-free and truly a pleasure. Communication both before and during our trip was superb, with prompt responses and clear answers. The Amore “app” was most helpful, and we received timely reminders by iPhone throughout our sojourn. There was only one minor “hiccup” at one of the hotels, but the local rep (Susana) resolved the issue promptly.
Most importantly, Cathy listened to us carefully when we first met with her to discuss what we were looking for. We had met with other travel advisors earlier in our quest, but Cathy was the one we felt most comfortable with because of her extensive knowledge and attention to our desires. She skillfully delivered exactly what we wanted in our dream vacation. It was truly a pleasure to work with Cathy and the Amore associates.
Hawaii 2023
The guided tour of Pearl Harbor, the USS Midway, and the USS Arizona was excellent. The Norwegian Cruise around the Hawaiian Islands was everything I had hoped for and more. I was well taken care of upon arriving in Honolulu until I left. Many, many thanks to Cathy for making my dream come true.
California Adventure
Great experience with Cathy. She planned everything, all we had to do was show up. She took good care of us and helped to make it nice for older adults. We will definitely ask her to help us again.
France 2023
This was our first international vacation, and we honestly weren’t really sure where to start. We contacted a few travel agents, and we felt that Cathy had the useful experience and knowledge. We really appreciated how fast and responsive Cathy was throughout the entire planning process and during our trip. It made us feel much more secure knowing that we had someone we could contact with any issues or last minute changes!
The Best Family Vacation We Ever Had!
Our 2023 summer family vacation to the Greek Islands was our most favorite vacation to date. From the time that we reached out to Cathy almost one year ago, Cathy has been extremely supportive, accessible, flexible, reserved phenomenal hotels and activities, all staying within our budgeted expectations. We cannot wait to work with Cathy again for next year’s family vacation plans!
Philippines 2023
Our experience with Amore Travel Designs, and specifically, Cathy Rowland, was AMAZING. She organized a trip for 12 family members from five different states to visit family in the Philippines on the same itinerary. She coordinated all of the flights, ground transportation, hotel stays, restaurant reservations, and sightseeing tours. She even helped organize a family reunion party in a very remote village. Her responses to questions or concerns were almost immediate. I sometimes wondered when she had time to sleep! My family and I are forever grateful. We would never have been able to do this without her. I even had other agencies turn us down because our trip seemed too complicated for them, but Cathy was up for it and did a wonderful job!
The trip I never dreamed of!
Working with Cathy is always amazing. She is my go to person for all my trips. She finds the trips I desire. Cathy makes all the arrangements including transportation to and from the airports, airlines, extra nights before and after the tours if needed. I am taken care of from the time I leave my home airport until I return. The only decision I have to make is what to eat. With that said, it’s time to contact her about a trip for next year.
Italy by plane, train, automobile and ship!
Cathy was very communicative and timely in all of her responses. She really listened to what we wanted, and made it happen! She was very knowledgeable of each area that we visited and provided input as to what we might like.
Grateful!
Cathy is an amazing luxury travel designer! She planned my trip to Paris for the Paris Marathon this April and she thought of everything. I had a five star hotel near the start and finish line, which made it easy for me to maneuver around over 50k runners and my flight was business class which allowed for rest before and after the race. She also organized really great excursions so I could have some fun on my 10 day trip. And my hotel even had a nice large tub so I could take a bath!
Cathy thank you so much for making this a trip of my dreams! I don’t know if you know, but I signed up for the marathon last May so to actually make it to Paris and pick up my packet alone made me so happy! And the way that everything went so smoothly really put me at ease and I ran really well! I want you to know I’m truly grateful! Thank you!
Two Thumbs Up!
Very helpful and always great to have a knowledgeable travel agent in your corner when things change and you aren’t sure what to do about the unexpected.
Simple Process
Very pleasant, everything went smoothly and quickly. Cathy offered some great suggestions and alternatives.
Responsive
Cathy was very responsive in a timely manner to all questions and concerns.
Outstanding!
We chose Cathy at Amore Travel Designs to help us with a complex tour of Italy in December 2022 that we weren’t confident to piece together ourselves. The highlight was a 3 day ski trip on a Ski Safari in the Dolomites, which included coordinating a ski guide, car transportation and lodges/Riffugios in the mountains. That in and of itself was daunting, but she helped us integrate a stay in Verona for the Christmas markets and a train to Venice for 3 additional days. Patient, creative and willingness to weave our direct booking using our points for flights and hotels made this partnership with Cathy an enjoyable process and a memorable experience. We highly recommend Cathy and her team at Amore Travel Designs.
Wonderful Experience!
My wife, Ashlyn, and I were planning a trip for our honeymoon to Maui and weren’t sure what to expect on the island.
We decided to go with a travel agent to plan out excursions that had visited Maui before. After doing research, Cathy was the perfect fit for helping us plan out our trip.
We had such an incredible time with our excursions. From driving the Road to Hana, whale watching in Lahaina, waking up at the crack of dawn to see the sunrise at Haleakalā, and experience an authentic luau – it was simply amazing.
Highly recommend Cathy for any trips that you have coming up, especially if you aren’t sure what to do at the destination.
Thank you again, Cathy!!
Costa Rica!
Cathy, helped to lay out a great itinerary. She suggested 2 great hotels and really did a nice job helping to plan the trip, layout pros and cons of different hotels and options. We really enjoyed the trip.
Exceptional Travel Agent!
Cathy Rowland was extremely helpful securing us seats on the Northern Lights CIE tour in Iceland. She secured seats for us on Icelandic Airlines. Cathy answered all questions concerning our trip. She sent a reminder when our backpacks would be delivered and a check list of essentials necessary for our trip. Thank you so much!
Portugal rocks!
Cathy went above and beyond for us on this trip: we originally booked it for March 2020, but because of Covid, we re-scheduled it 6 times! Yes, 6 times! And, of course, some of the tours could not be re-scheduled so she had to find new ones, and some even cancelled at the last minute…Over and over, Cathy re-booked and re-scheduled – with grace – as the consummate professional that she is. And in the end, the trip was AWESOME. What a joy to work with – Cathy is the best!
Fantastic Experience!
Cathy was extremely helpful while I was booking my trip! With her expertise, we booked some great excursions. Very grateful for the assistance and guidance!
So Good!
If you want to see a place, there is no better place to plan your trip with. Cathy worked with us and all of our changes and made a simple road trip for a Honeymoon something memorable. I can’t thank everyone enough with how timely they helped and how little we worried on our trip thanks to Amore Travel Designs. We cannot wait to do it again.
Superior!!!
Cathy is not only attentive and supportive but was easily accessible! I never felt forgotten! She routinely checked on us and our plans. She figured out a way to add an additional stay in a layover city with very little notice! AMAZING!! We have already referred a friend to her without her even being aware of it currently.:) She goes ABOVE AND BEYOND!!!!! She will always be our agent!:) Thanks Cathy!!!:):):)☺️
Amore Travel Designs
Cathy is a great travel agent to work with. She plans just what you want and takes care of all the details and answers all you questions. You can’t go wrong using her and her agency.
Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value
Amore Travel Designs is wonderful to work with. My trip to Europe earlier this month was planned from the beginning to the end. Everything was included making my trip free from worry and surprises. Cathy is very responsive and patient to all my questions and concerns. She checked on me during my trip to ensure all was well. I highly recommend Amore Travel Designs for your travel needs.
Outstanding
Truly amazing. Thank you Cathy for planning our dream vacation. All my husband and I had to do was show up and have a great time!
Highly Recommend
My wife and I had never been out of the country and at the young age of 61 I was very apprehensive about going. We contacted Cathy to discuss possibilities for our first trip and she was so helpful and courteous. She assured us she would make it seamless as possible and she did. We decided on a thirteen day trip from north to south Italy starting in Venice and ending up on the Amalfi Coast. It was Awesome!! Every driver and guide we had was on time and did an excellent job. The hotels were all so nice and located in great areas for sightseeing, shopping and the best views. The food in Italy was incredible and so was the gelato which we sampled everywhere. We had a trip of a lifetime and now look forward to planning our next adventure with Cathy. I highly recommend using Amore and be assured they will go above and beyond to ensure you have the best vacation you could possibly imagine.
Thank you Cathy!!

Highly Recommend
My husband and I just returned from an eleven-day photo safari to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania including a two-day stay in Arusha that was organized by Cathy Rowland with Amore Travel Designs, and the trip exceeded our expectations. From the first day I contacted her until just before we left Cathy kept us informed of any updates and requirements, such as visas, and responded promptly to any questions or requests we had. Our flights were well organized, and we had plenty of time between flights so we did not have to dash through the airport for connections. She coordinated with Hills of Africa and we had a suburb guide who was very knowledgeable not just in the animals we saw but in the best way to take photos of them, suggesting F-stops and shutter speeds to get the best results. Our accommodations in “tents” were exceptional, as was the food every day. We did stay in tents, but that is misleading, as technically they were tents but were equivalent to the best hotel rooms with a full bathroom and sitting room as well as a bedroom, deck, and plunge pool. The staff at our two camps, Lemala Nanyukie and Lemala Kurio Hills, were simply outstanding and may our stay very comfortable. I guarantee you that the next time we plan a vacation like this we will be contacting Cathy for assistance.
Thanks again for everything,
Barbara
What a Delight to Work with
Cathy was a delight to work with for our trip. She work to ensure even the smallest details were right. Now we can’t wait for the trip itself. Thank you!
This customer rated you highly for responsiveness, and professionalism.
We Had A Great Time
My wife and I had a wonderful time while in Spain recently! Amore setup a personal tour guide that walked us through Barcelona and historical sites. The guide was very knowledgeable and personal able. It was just the three of us and we learned and saw so much! I just referred two friends to Amore
What a big help she was!!
After my trip was canceled because of covid Cathy rebooked my trip, kept in contact all through the process, and found the answers to any questions I had. Was amazing. I will go through her again. Thanks Cathy we had an amazing time.
Extraordinary Travel Advisor for European Trips
Working with Cathy Rowland was an absolute dream. She is a seasoned professional and specializes in European travel. I just returned from a two-month trip she planned for me, where every detail was impeccably handled. I loved the transfers, personal tours and transportation she planned for me — all of which made my travel adventure seamless and extremely enjoyable. Even while I was on the trip, when new ideas arose and I needed her expertise, she and her team were immediately available to provide assistance in updating plans, handling new options and booking everything on a timely basis. I could not recommend Cathy and Amore Travel Designs with any higher praise.
Italy Tour
Cathy was amazing in every way. From creating a personalized and unique experience to communication through out. Our trip was seamless! I didn’t have to worry about anything other than being at the place and time on my itinerary! The curated experiences, tour guides and drivers were top notch.
Great Trip
This was an excellent vacation. Was nervous at first making a costly purchase with an agent I didn’t know. Cathy and her team was effective and covered ALL needed details PLUS extras. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing. I have MS . She even arranged a wheelchair for me in Scotland. Most hotels were accessible. She made sure I had wheelchair access at airports. Wonderful trip. My family is buzzing to go on another one soon.
Jewels of Ireland
We can honestly say CIE Tours lives up to the claim, all inclusive. It was fantastic. We had an excellent driver and guide. We enjoyed the entire trip. This is our third trip with CIE and this was great. We saw things we had not seen before and made contact with people who are researching our family in Kensaile. we didn’t have any problems at all. Cathy Rowland did a fantastic job planning our trip. I would recommend her to anyone and our trip to Ireland. Thanks Cathy.
A Scottish Dream
Cathy answered all our questions promptly. She kept us apprised of any changes. I certainly would recommend her.
Best Trip Ever
Cathy helped me plan a 10 day trip (with my husband and three kids) to Ireland June 8-18, 2022. This was the first time we’d taken our kids on an international trip, and we were worried about whether or not they’d have fun and if we could have fun with them. Honestly? It was one of the best trips of my life, and I’ve traveled extensively for 25 years on 3 continents. Our kids are 6, 7 and 9, and Cathy helped us find activities that were perfect for all of us. We went to a farm, explored castles, took a boat ride on Ireland’s only fjord, flew to the Aran Islands for an amazing day trip, met Irish musicians, climbed cliffs and so much more. It was perfect. On our last night, we talked about where we’d go next, and our kids had all sorts of ideas. I’m beyond pleased and can recommend Cathy without a single reservation. She absolutely killed it, and we will definitely work with her to plan our next trip.

Family Trip to the UK
Cathy was wonderful to work with. We are not experienced travelers and she was extremely patient and timely in responding to all of our questions. I appreciate her willingness to work with us, as we are a family of 5, including children. Our accommodations and tours have been wonderful!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Amazing Travel Experience
I was a bit apprehensive about working with a travel agent for budget reasons but I was nervous about planning a “once in a lifetime trip” on my own in foreign countries. Cathy did an wonderful job planning out trip. Everything was pretty easy and perfect experiences. Most of the hotel stays were beyond our expectations. The tours were wonderful. Having transportation already scheduled put my mind at ease and was a world of help to us. We’ve already started talking about our next big trip and we NEED Cathy to help us!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Valentin Imperial Maya exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Cathy, we learned about the Valentin! She took care of everything for us!

Prior to the trip Cathy was always available on the spot for any questions I had. She was quick to jump into action for anything we needed. Thank you Cathy for taking away some of our stress so we could enjoy our trip.
Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
Cathy was a joy to work with. She found excursions for us we wouldn’t have thought of. Very quick to respond to our questions. This was our first time using a travel agent but I can tell you that it won’t be the last time working with Amore travel designs!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Cathy and her team were simply amazing. We had an amazing time, and they took all the stress out of the entire process. We were blown away with the responsiveness, and support Amore provided – even during our trip.
We could tell that Cathy and her crew have done this before! Our trip went off without any hiccups, every driver, every detail, every suggestion was spot on.
Cathy and her team took our feedback and put together a plan that fit our way of travel. The tours and suggestions were all spot on. It was also a great mixture of relaxation and on the move. We really had a blast.
We would never have been able to plan this without the Amore team!
The app they used with all the info was so simple to use. We are both so happy! My wife and myself have already decided that we will be reaching out again for our next travel! Would highly suggest the Amore Team!
Thank you again! Zoel and Claire

I highly recommend Amore Travel Designs to anyone considering a trip. This was my first time to travel abroad and Amore Travel Designs is the only company I will do business with in the future.

I was always treated with respect and professionalism.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wonderful experience, will do it again!
Working with Cathy was great! She was very friendly, professional, prompt when responding to questions, knowledgeable and very helpful. She relieved me of my worries and anxiety of traveling somewhere I’ve never been and the outcome was an excellent experience. Cathy was very instrumental in my husband and I having a beautiful wedding anniversary and an unforgettable vacation experience. We loved it! Thank you Cathy!

I just wanted to let you know that we are all back home from our trip. Everything went as planned with no hiccups. I would like to thank you for suggesting that resort, it was absolutely amazing! It was beautiful and the service was better than anything I have ever experienced! I honestly felt like royalty while I was there.
I know I wasn’t the easiest person to deal with with everything that has been going on but I am grateful that you kept your cool even when I didn’t. My family thanks you for the absolute best vacation we have even been on.

This was our first time using Amore Travel Designs and we were very pleased with the arrangements. Had we self planned our trip to Savannah, GA, we would not have experienced the various events the city had to offer. Each day had at least 2 activities to take part in, without feeling overwhelmed with “too much to see and do.” Cathy is professional and responsive and customized our anniversary weekend to our interests. Looking forward to planning another vacation with Amore Travel Designs.

Amore Travel Designs, LLC assisted me with purchasing airline tickets and transport to and from my international destination. Provided great customer service by answering all questions in a timely manner, and informing me of updates to travel itinerary whenever changes were made. Also appreciated the follow-up emails before, during, and after my trip. Will definitely use this agency again when it is time to plan my next vacation.

I would highly recommend using this travel agency. Cathy is very professional and easy to work with. I’m super excited about my upcoming trip and I will be using their services again!

Cathy at Amore Travel did an excellent job of planning our NAPA valley trip.
This was my FIRST time to use a travel agent and Cathy made all of our reservations, sent confirmations, lined it all up and it all went off without a hitch. Drivers showed up on time, each winery was ready for us and all of the tastings were first rate!
Great place to book your vacations. Cathy is wonderful and works very hard to make your dream trips come true. I needed a getaway. Cathy was there for me anytime I needed her. I highly recommend and will use her for all my future getaways.”
Working with Cathy was a delight and she far exceeded my expectations. She was able to plan a difficult itinerary with a week to spare and was professional, courteous, and attentive to all of my requests. The trip was fantastic and we loved everything that she planned for us. I couldn’t have asked for better service. She’s absolutely terrific and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her for travel planning services. She’s the best!
When I was looking to take a trip to Mexico, Cathy Rowland reached out to me and offered to help. Not only was she able to make sense of all the options available to us, but she even sacrificed her Friday night to make it happen. We went back and forth until nearly midnight to iron out the details. With her personal experiences and killer connections, she was able to find us a great resort, direct flights and kept everything well under budget. Having the simplified view of the itinerary, confirmation numbers and an easy way to reach out to her if necessary eliminated all of the travel stress. I highly recommend using Cathy when you start thinking about your next trip! Thanks a bunch!
Amore Travel Designs booked my travel for 8 days. Cathy Rowland found my family a great location that was safe during Covid. She was very fast to respond to email and checked on us during our entire stay. It was my first time booking a travel agent and she did an excellent job!!
So, I decided to plan something a little more off the beaten path of the Florida panhandle. Thing is, I decided 2 weeks from leaving!!! Ouch!!! Cathy not only took on the challenge, but listened to what I wanted my 3 Children (14, 11 and 7) to experience on the trip. I originally wanted to go to Yosemite but Cathy recommended not to due to the fires and instead researched a fun filled and exciting tour of Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. It was unbelievable! From the Dude Ranch Horseback riding to the Glamping experience to the Jackson hole modern motel and all the in between! Cathy was there for us start to finish! Thank you SO MUCH Cathy!!!

So easy to communicate with- very quick to respond and that puts you at ease when traveling.
“We have used Cathy at Amore Travel Designs for our last 3 vacations. Each time has been a wonderful experience, she really does take care of all of the details. The process is smooth and seamless, a huge advantage over the stress of trying to book everything ourselves, and its great having an expert on hand to think of all the little things we wouldn’t know about. We’ll be back again next year for our next trip!” Especially in these trying times!
Hear from a client....

“Cathy was amazing to work with, she had to be so patient with us because we didn’t know where we wanted to go or what we wanted to do. And she stayed steady, patient, answered all our questions…”
Cathy helped us organize a beautiful honeymoon plan including a few days in Sonoma with wine tours and an amazing resort in Fiji. While we’re having to rearrange everything with COVID preventing us from traveling as planned, she’s been there every step of the way with us to shift plans and even get us deposit refunds back where we didn’t think it would be possible to do so. It’s taken so much headache off our shoulders – especially when having to also move all our wedding plans too. We know when we are finally able to travel and take our dream honeymoon it will be amazing. I would highly recommend Cathy + Amore Travel Designs!

Cathy planned a wonderful trip for my sister and me to visit the National Parks in Colorado for a week. Even having to consider COVID restrictions which was extra work she did a great job. She listened to our special requests and came up with her own adventure ideas. All in all it was exactly what we had hoped for and even more. I’d definitely use her again!
Cathy was a god send in helping plan an unforgettable 40th birthday family vacation for my husband. She handled all of it and had great add on ideas that made the trip more spectacular than I originally imagined. I highly recommend her and will be using her services to plan the rest of my vacations 😊

Cathy Rowland is great to work with. Our family trip has had to be rescheduled due to Covid 19 and she has been wonderful with making sure all of our needs and request are being made. We have had many changes and updates in planning this trip and Cathy has worked with us in making sure we have an amazing trip. She is very professional and responds immediately to all my emails. This hasn’t been easy for her as we have a big group and are traveling to 2 different places as well as the groups being located in 2 different places. I commend Cathy on her hard work she has put in planning our trip with us. Hopefully, she won’t have to reschedule again as we put this out a year (keep your fingers crossed). I will definitely use Cathy for all of my trip planning as she is professional, responsive and knows her traveling business. I give it 5 stars.
WELL PLANNED TRIP. LESS TIME SPENT ON SCHEDULING AND MORE TIME HAVING FUN.
A little late but wanted to thank you for a fantastic trip that you planned for Victoria and I. London and Paris was absolutely fantastic.
Under the current circumstances it was in our favor since we did not have to wait in line for any of our tours.

I found Cathy online and could not have been happier working with her! My husband and I wanted to travel out of the country and we’re too nervous to book anything ourselves. I searched for a travel agent via online reviews and Cathy was at the top of the list. Everything was smooth and seamless and I’m beyond thankful for her experience in her work. We will for sure be using Cathy in the future!
Cathy was great to work with. She did some proactive research based on the information I provided prior to us meeting. Once we met, she provided me with a range of options based on my budget and vacation timelines. Got me everything I requested for myself and my family. She made sure all was ok up until the time we were ready to depart for our vacation and provided me with a contact should we run into any issues and needed help. Definitely will work with Cathy again.

Cathy did an amazing job planning a 2 week trip to Italy, Croatia, Prague, and Budapest. I tasked Cathy to coordinate this trip with 3 cousins and 3 close friends. She did a fantastic job finding great places, fun excursions, and making suggestions on activities/restaurants. She was always available by phone/text/email. She is very polite, professional, prompt, and courteous. Whenever I asked questions Cathy would research to find the right answers. Although there were a few minor incidents with booking she was quick to fix it and always was accountable. I would definitely use her again and strongly recommend her to others.
Mrs. Rowland asked me a few questions about what type of vacation I wanted and she came up with the perfect vacation. She was professional and there for me. I can’t wait to go on my vacation. But what really impressed me was that she was the sixth travel agent I contacted but the first to respond.
