“Hire The Citrine Compass! As a once avid trip planner myself, I had become exhausted at researching all the details and the time needed to really get to know a new city and country. I like to see the sites and go off the beaten path, so giving up the research portion of our travel planning was hard for me, but I'm so glad I did. Kalyn and her team planned the most amazing trip to Norway for my family last fall - taking into consideration all our preferences and making sure we saw the best of the whole country. Trip planning was a breeze and once we arrived, every meal, activity, hotel and insider tip was perfect. I've referred many friends who have also had great experiences and am currently working with the team on our 2024 trip to Scotland.”

“I cannot even put into words how wonderful the experience working with you and Jaime was. Even though it was last minute, you pulled together the most incredible recommendations for our trip - things we never would have found otherwise. Not only that, but we had lunch with Jaime while in Paris where she gave us more insider tips and was a resource to us throughout our trip when we needed restaurant recommendations or had questions about local transportation. I wish Citrine existed a decade ago when I was sifting through blogs to find the hidden gems in the 35 countries I visited. :)”

“The Citrine Compass, led by the lovely Kalyn, is my new go-to travel must-have! Kalyn was amazing to work with. She helped plan my 40th birthday trip to Cabo with 8 adults and it was beyond perfect. There wasn't a thing she didn't think of, and she was so helpful with bookings, reservations, and helping me make itinerary decisions. She was incredibly in-the-know, super responsive, available via text, and just made the whole process super easy and fun. Such a delight. Not to mention the beautifully designed itinerary I got to print out and give to all of my guests. I am endlessly grateful for her help. I will be using CC/Kalyn and her team's help for many many trips to come!”

“My husband and I recently worked with Lauren, a concierge specialist at The Citrine Compass. WOW! I am giving five stars across the board. Lauren was terrific, warm and friendly, and SO knowledgeable about the Italian Riviera areas we were looking into for a memorable trip in Italy. My husband and I prefer to travel off the beaten path and find an area's less popular hidden gems. Lauren immediately understood what we were looking for and offered great advice on transportation, hotels, under-the-radar locations, and restaurants. Lauren gave us information on private boat tours and how to travel from place to location. After our consultation, Lauren followed up with a summary of the insider information she shared. I highly recommend using The Citrine Compass and if you are going to Italy, Lauren is the person you want to connect with.”

“I’m in the process of planning my first solo trip to Thailand, and I must say that Rebecca has been an absolute gem. She was incredibly helpful giving me detailed insights into the various cities in Thailand so I could plan how much time to spend in each place based on my travel goals. She also told me which apps to use and the tipping etiquette so I could feel like a local. I feel much more informed and confident when I go to Thailand solo. I definitely recommend her to anyone planning their own travel experience!”

“Jaime had read through my submitted questionnaire and came prepared during our meeting with specific insights. She was a delight to speak to (plus we have lots in common -- TEXAS -- being one of them) and we could have talked for hours. Jaime was extremely knowledgeable about Paris. Her Paris knowledge was so vast and I appreciated the tips on places to visit that are way less tourist driven. Overall, the experience was seamless and insightful.”

-MELISSA U.

“I met Martina and she was incredible!! Super super knowledgeable about Italy (Milan, Lake Como, Cinque Terre) and it was soooo nice having an Italian give me the green light on what areas to stay, how long to spend in each area, how to get around—I feel like i just saved myself hours of googling and reading blog posts with one 40-minute conversation!! Highly recommend!!!”

-SCOTT T.

“Isabella was delightful to talk to and the follow-up form has a lot of valuable recommendations, especially for things to do. I appreciated the level of customization in our conversation and the depth of knowledge that Isabella had of Croatia. She shared her screen and showed me the map and what she was typing, that was helpful. Overall, I think this service is very valuable and would use it again!”

-CATARINA R.

“Upon learning our timeline and interests, Piper went above and beyond in curating the perfect list of recommendations along with local tidbits that made our trip to London everything we wanted and more. From high tea to antique shopping to unique dinner/cocktail recommendations, Piper has exquisite taste and thoughtful advice to help make the most of your holiday!”

-HAYLEY H.

“Melissa was an absolute delight. She provided SO MUCH great insight into the city. I’m so pumped. There were things we were planning to do that we’re now changing up. And she curated it to exactly the type of things we love to do most. I am so excited. My mom and I talked after and decided we will absolutely use your service for our next trip. “

-SARAH L.

“Had a phenomenal experience with Kalyn on my trip to LA. First time in the city and it was a blast. Kalyn’s ability to give me a wide variety of choices allowed me to pick the best place to stay and hang out. Extremely prompt in response time and providing clarity. The initial call was extremely helpful so she could understand what exactly I wanted and then give me options from there. Itinerary was extremely robust and gave me plenty of good ideas of how to spend my time. Would gladly recommend Kalyn and her business 10 times out of 10.”

“Nicole has so many amazing recs! My go to gal for all things San Diego, SLO, SF and so much more!”

-ISABEL D.

“Nicole is an absolute doll and she helped plan my Bachelorette party in Scottsdale, AZ and it was unforgettable!! On top of that, she always recommends the best wine pairings when we’re out to eat! Love her and rely on her so much for the best recommendations.”

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with the Citrine Compass twice and have only terrific things to say! While I enjoy planning my own trips, I often compile more things to do than is reasonable. Both of my Tastemakers helped me pare down my list of must-sees into a workable itinerary. They took the time to understand my preferences and priorities and tailored their recommendations to my travel style. I felt as though I was talking to a trusted friend and can’t wait to work with Kalyn and her team again!"

-JENNIFER J.

Simona was great! Really enjoyed her and her recommendations and also your service!

“TCC has been amazing to work with! I planned a trip for my organization for over 40 people to attend, and the options we received were exactly exactly what we hoped for. The communication has been quick and efficient and the experience has been amazing. In a world with so many options, our needs were listened to, and we landed on an incredible resort experience for our firm. Highly recommend!!”
