Even if you’ve been to Paris, Karina’s services are worth it! Karina made our family Paris trip absolutely perfect! We went for my 50th birthday for one week and the highlights of our trip were all activities suggested by Karina!
I’ve been to Paris several times as an adult tourist and for business, but I still contacted Karina to help plan the right type of trip for the first time going with my family, including a preteen. I loved working with an individual rather than a travel company and I appreciated being able to customize the daily itineraries to our specifications. Karina is warm, patient, creative with ideas, and flexible to meet your needs. She does not do a cookie cutter itinerary for you!
She spoke with me at length about our family interests, how to pace the day (not too hectic, not too slow), and how to mix up the types of activities. She made lots of suggestions and together we narrowed down what worked for one week.
Two of our absolute favorite activities were ones that Karina suggested and ones we would not have chosen on our own: a dinner cruise (picture of the Eiffel Tower at night was taken from the river cruise) and a spectacular and truly special food tour (picture of our amazing cheese spread).
Karina also is incredibly honest. She bought all of our pre-timed tickets and purchased our tours but without the huge markup I’ve experienced working with travel companies.
Her restaurant suggestions also were excellent! There are no shortage of phenomenal restaurants in Paris, but not all are great for kids/teens/families. I made a few of my own recommendations that she booked for us and then she recommended some, all of which were excellent.
She made our trip so easy! She compiled our trip itinerary into easy to read daily itineraries with additional suggestions for lovely places to stop, pretty streets, nice cafes, stores, etc. in one PDF for easy reference. She also sent the timed tickets, tour reservations, and dinner reservations together with links in the itinerary so it’s easy to reference on the go and access when touring.
I cannot recommend enough how Karina’s services truly helped make our trip perfect and special for our family and for my 50th birthday!

Working with Karina was outstanding! She planned the perfect itinerary for our group and the private guides were second to none. Everything about the planning and execution was so smooth and exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Karina, for making our trip to Paris so special and memorable!

Karina made our family trip to Paris so memorable!  We had a large group and a large age range and she did a fantastic job with helping us balance activities and navigate the complicated systems of museum and restaurant reservations.
Her intimate knowledge of the city was so helpful.  She set up amazing tour guides, managed to get us seated at "special tables" in delicious restaurants, and allowed us to have flexibility at times during our trip.  We can't wait to return and will surely use Karina again to aid us in our itinerary.  She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly.  Our trip was a huge success because of her!  Thank you, Karina!

Karina was incredible! She came highly recommended by a close friend who is very well traveled. I reached out last minute and Karina was able to put together a perfect itinerary for our first trip to Paris. It was a very short trip and she did an amazing job at combining all of my requests. It was the perfect trip and we will definitely be returning because of how enjoyable it was and that was because of how well scheduled we were!! Karina was a pleasure to work with!!

Karina is a DREAM to work with!! She is so professional and knowledgeable. I love to collaborate with her to curate the most magical trips to Paris for my clients. She is there in the city to make sure everything runs smoothly, and her connections are priceless. In fact, I am working with her for my own personal trip this summer!

Karina was absolutely wonderful! She was so very helpful planning our trip. She had many wonderful suggestions for us. She organized all of our excursions during our 8-day trip to Paris including a day trip to Normandy and Versailles. I couldn’t have done it without her!! She made our trip so enjoyable, from assisting us with tickets for the Eiffel tour to making dinner reservations. She was an absolute pleasure to work with! You won’t be disappointed.

Karina is wonderful! From start to finish, she was incredibly professional and easy to work with. We did not have to worry about a single detail. Karina helped us plan our entire trip, including pick up from the airport, all of our restaurant, reservations, museums, and suggestions for breakfast and lunch. She even helped us book cheese tasting, which was fabulous! She made our trip to Paris a very memorable experience, and I cannot recommend her enough!!!

Karina was great to work with! Very knowledgeable and helped tailor our trip for our family of four (kids are early teens) to include activities that were fun and engaging for everyone. She has excellent connections for the best tour guides and all the recommendations for stops between reserved tours were on point also. I highly recommend working with Karina. She took care of everything and we had a great time.

Working with Karina from Travel Light Paris was a true joy! My partner and I planned a trip to Paris for October 2023, and Karina guided us with expertise, efficiency and creativity throughout the process. She listened to our wishes, and once she had a sense of who we were, she contributed many excellent suggestions to our itinerary. Plus - Karina is fun! I cannot recommend her more highly.

We recently worked with Karina on planning our first trip to Paris. She was exceptional! I trust every recommendation she makes. We were there for eight days and she helped us plan out the best way to lay out our itinerary, helped with all the reservations, answered any and all questions during our planning process. Every vendor/event/restaurant she set us up with was great. I highly recommend Karina and Travel Light Paris. She made our trip memorable and I can't wait to return!
