I love being in the travel business because it allows me to share my deep passion for exploring the world with like-minded travelers. Nothing makes me feel more fulfilled than bringing a dream trip to life for a client, and ensuring that every detail is absolutely picture perfect for them!
Favorite Destinations
Japan is one of the most exciting destinations out there! Simultaneously traditional and modern, it offers some of the best cuisine, shopping, cultural experiences, and natural beauty that the world has to offer. Seamlessly interconnected with a train system that is the envy of all other nations, and extremely safe with an exceedingly friendly local population, Japan is a destination with unrivaled ease of travel and intriguing local character. A perfect destination for first time travelers to Asia, or experienced global explorers, Japan is a country that I love to plan travel for again and again.
About my most memorable vacation
Recently I did a slow-travel tour through the Tuscan countryside, with a focus on locally produced wines and cuisine. The scenery was breathtaking, and culinary experience was an epiphany of flavors and freshness that always left me wanting more. Surrounded by medieval towns and rolling fields of sunflowers, I was truly living la dolce vita in beautiful Tuscany!

Our family trip was a huge success thanks to Kellyn! She listened to our wants and needs and tailored our travel accordingly. She found wonderful hotels and car rentals that were a perfect fit for our large family - which can be a challenge. We also booked a cruise through Kellyn and to date, this was our favorite family vacation of all time.

Kellyn is an amazing travel professional. We first used her to complete a trip to Spain that I had already started on. She finessed some intra-country travel, and curated some fun cultural, dining and immersive experiences in each city that we would have never done on our own. We then used her for an Alaskan cruise which unfortunately had a bad start due to United Airlines problems. Kellyn got us situated in the next port town with travel, hotel, dinner reservations, a gifted wine and cheese tray, etc. She was also a fierce and effective advocate for us in helping us with later reimbursements with the cruise line and airline. Lastly we are in the process of planning a family trip to Japan with Kellyn. I just received her proposal and can_`t tell you how excited I am! She read me perfectly in terms of what I want for this trip.....a mix of modern sights and traditional Japan, city and country. She_`s found some interesting experiences for the family, a great mix of hotel styles, and most important to me (it stress me so), all the transportation throughout the country lined up. Kellyn_`s passion for travel shines through in her work!

Kellyn Reed made our dream vacation into a reality! She listened to our interests and desires to personalize our trip tailored to fit our needs. The hotels were incredibly comfortable, accommodating, all 4 or 5 stars, and perfectly situated in the areas we wanted to explore. Kellyn set up private tours that were tailored to our interests. Transportation was classy and extremely comfortable with thoughtful drivers and tour guides. We even got to participate in a grape crushing experience at a winery that she arranged. We would give her 100 stars if possible! We will certainly utilize her services for our next adventure. This was our first time to use a travel agent and she made the experience beyond our wildest dreams! We were in contact with her almost daily and she made every aspect seamless, stress free, and even had little surprises set up along the way. This was truly the trip of a lifetime! She has the highest recommendation from us.

Kellyn has done a wonderful job of discovering and customizing the perfect vacation for our family. The plans reflected our needs and were seemless. Kellyn is a joy to work with and we highly recommend her. Bon voyage.

Kellyn got me excellent rates for my flights on a very complex international itinerary, which was no small feat and was a concern for me. I had already booked a tour in Africa that I loved, but she dovetailed the trip there perfectly with their dates. She also arranged an excellent stopover (trying to reduce the jet lag impact) with a fantastic local guide, Doris, in Hong Kong. The accommodations were excellent, as was the transportation. Her use of apps and travel documentation was helpful. When there were questions on flights, she responded within 15-20 minutes even though I was in a distant time zone. You can tell she is committed to making each travel experience unique, interesting, and appealing to the traveler. She found activities that I would like in Hong Kong despite minimal input and provided useful updates on conditions that might be of concern, visas, and events at the destinations. I would recommend her highly for being enthusiastic, meticulous about details, and recommending unique aspects of each location. She does her research to deliver a fantastic travel itinerary.

Kellyn is truly amazing at what she does! I have never used a travel agency or agent before but I am glad I was referred to her. Everything from consulting, planning, advising, and most importantly listening to her clients...five stars across the board!

Kellyn was great planning a trip to Japan! I am not one that typically uses a travel agency but thought traveling overseas it would be nice to have some help. It was a good decision! She handled the planning, asked our likes and dislikes, and developed a great trip! Great to work with and while on the trip was responsive to questions, provides great info to prepare you for the trip, etc. Just a pleasure to work with. Do not hesitate to use Kellyn for all your travel needs!

I cannot agree more with other reviewers, that Kellyn is truly amazing!! It is obvious that her work is not only a job to her, but a true passion. She planned our trip as if she was the one going...i.e. meticulous, thoughtful and one of a kind!! She tailored our trip to our wants and needs, providing so many choices and suggestions. Her patience while planning the perfect itinerary (on our set budget) was amazing and a rare find these days. Right from the start, Kellyn was incredibly receptive to all of my input. I had already booked out flights for a last minute, whirlwind Christmas trip to Thailand (using miles) and really needed the help and expertise of someone such as Kellyn to fill in the rest. The trip was also doubling as a birthday present_trip for my daughter who would be turning 16 on the day we flew out! Kellyn (unbeknownst to us) planned several very special surprises for our birthday girl...a beautiful and personal touch! She was able to find us amazing hotels and activities, all while staying in our optimal budget range. She provided us with so many wonderful options for activities_excursions at each location. Many of which were very intimate in nature (not part of a huge tourist group). Working full time, I didn_`t have the spare time to sit online at home doing all of that research and planning (and I normally LOVE doing that sort of thing!) Kellyn took the time to LISTEN to exactly what we were looking for, taking in all of the uniqueness of _`us_` and what we_`d like to do and see. Having her on our team, knowing that our trip was in such great hands, was comforting and a load off of my shoulders. All of the confirmations, pre-departure information, documents and tips_tricks were clearly and timely delivered. Everything went smoothly from the time we left until we returned home, albeit exhausted, but so satisfied from our incredible vacation!! I cannot wait for our next adventure and to have Kellyn as our travel advisor to work her magic yet again!!!

What a wonderful experience Kellyn has made not one but two of my vacations. First one was all about relaxation and me time. Second a girlfriend trip with many new experiences. Kellyn takes the time and careful planning to make these vacations so special and full of memories. She goes the extra step to consider your likes, wants and puts it all together to enjoy with no worries. Kellyn also has the knowledge and experience to ensure your tastes are meet. I had never used a travel agent and Kellyn has turned that into a requirement for my future travels.

I honestly can_`t say enough about Kellyn and Summit and Horizon Travel. We went on a month long trip through Europe and it was a perfect trip. After meeting with Kellyn for the first time she took into consideration what type of trip we wanted to plan, what our budget was, and what our interests were while on vacation. She went above and beyond every expectation we had discussed with her. We came in under budget, had amazing and unique hotels with breathtaking views. All of our transportation was set up for us in advance ensuring no confusion when landing in a foreign country. The unique experiences, like staying in a castle over looking a vineyard, or having a personal photo shoot in Venice and taking a gondola ride, took our breath away at every turn. Kellyn has a vast amount of knowledge on every region we visited and it was clear she did a lot of research to ensure we had the best experience possible. We will be planning all of future trips with Summit and Horizon Travel and can_`t wait to plan our next adventure.

Kellyn is not a travel agent, she is a memory maker. She has done amazing trips for my family-Bali, Rome, Paris and just for me-Thailand, Philippines, China, Japan. Anywhere we have desired to go, she has facilitated the experience beautifully and efficiently. Not only is she great at setting up the trip, really listening to your wants and needs, if there is an unforeseen hiccup, she is there to guide you through it. I called her frantic from the airport in Okinawa because the staff at the counter stated I needed a different kind of visa. They were incorrect, and Kellyn was able to assure them and myself that all was well. She is just superb!

Kellyn is beyond fantastic! As our work and personal lives became increasingly hectic, planning international travel started to feel daunting. Even though we, both my husband and I, were seasoned travelers we found ourselves shying away from trips because we just didn_`t want to add more to our ever growing _`to do list._` Then we found Summit & Horizon Travel and everything changed! Kellyn handled all of the logistics of our travel and helped us plan a completely customized trip. We will be using Summit & Horizon Travel for all trips moving forward. The value is no brainer.

Incredible_ Amazing_ Outstanding_ There will never be the “perfect word” that encompasses the once-in-a-lifetime experience we had in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador and it was all because of our travel advisor, Kellyn Reed with Summit and Horizon Travel. Over a year ago, we planned a different trip, but due to work complications, we were no longer available. So, Kellyn pivoted in lightning-fast action and put together a brand new vacation, across the globe to one of our bucket-list destinations - the Galapagos Islands! These new vacation plans worked with our new schedules, and we could not have been happier. The trip, itself, was FLAWLESS. From the exceptional communication from Kellyn throughout the whole process to the seamless transportation to_from the destination, to the actual vacation, itself. We give her 10 stars! She even arranged pre-cruise and post-cruise tours in Quito, Ecuador - 2 days that were an exciting bonus to the cruise, itself. We have been on cruises before, and they have always been just “ok”. Well, Kellyn blew these expectations OUT OF THE WATER with an all-inclusive 7-night, adventure-packed, cruise on the eco-friendly Celebrity Flora Mega Yacht. The cruise ship accommodations were on-point with superior service, delicious, local food, luxurious suites and elegant decks, dining, and common areas. Days were packed with intimate, small group water and land excursions, snorkeling, hiking, learning about and viewing up-close the unique landscapes and rare, endemic wildlife (blue-footed boobies, sea lions, marine iguanas, Darwin finches, white-tipped reef sharks…), and spending time in the highlands with wild giant tortoises - these experiences will change a person. It changed us, and we will be forever grateful for Kellyn and her ability to put together the PERFECT adventure that will stay with us forever.

Kellyn is AMAZING!!! She created a truly MAGICAL CHRISTMAS ADVENTURE at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs for my husband and I, and our two young adult children! She expertly handled every detail…from perfect family accommodations, to delicious dining experiences, to ideal event seating, to fun athletic activities, to luxurious relaxation. Kellyn designed a week of Heaven on Earth for all four of us! And…she did so by carefully listening to all my desires and wishes during our planning stages. She was extremely prompt, expeditiously responding to my every email and text with her thoughtfulness and expertise. She never missed a beat! I can hardly wait for her to plan our next exciting travel experience!!!
