Reviews for Art Retreat in Oaxaca, Mexico: November 15 -20, 2025

The retreat is so exciting and fun; just what a creative spirit would look for to rejuvenate body and soul.

Karen was amazingly helpful. Start to finish, she listened to our plans and our goals and our budget and came back with a master plan that we tweaked back-and-forth for a short time and came out with the final plan that was truly remarkable. We were moving four people from hotel to hotel by car rentals, by rideshare’s, by trains all over two countries and she managed to pack everything we needed into our trip of three weeks. Karen is an amazing planner and will work through all the details with you, everything you need in a travel agent, she is highly motivated, extremely intelligent and very professional, also, great with follow-through! We thoroughly enjoying working with Karen and she will be the first one we contact for our future travels.

Our booking experience with Karen Kandelman was absolutely exceptional. She helped us plan our two-week honeymoon in Japan, covering four beautiful cities—Tokyo, Kaga, Kyoto, and Lake Kawaguchiko—before returning to Tokyo. From booking hotels to coordinating our travel between cities, everything was seamless and stress-free. Karen took the time to understand what kind of accommodations and neighborhoods we were interested in, and she truly went above and beyond to tailor the experience to our preferences. Every place we stayed in was perfect, and the logistics were handled so smoothly that all we had to do was enjoy our trip. We’re incredibly grateful for her help in making our honeymoon so memorable—thank you, Karen!

My booking experience with Karen was outstanding! she was incredibly helpful, professional, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free and even had a driver waiting at the airport for pickup.
