Hi there, I'm Kim

Kim McGonagle Final-min

I believe the best vacations aren't built from templates. To me, they're built around the people taking them.

Whether you're celebrating something special, planning the trip you've dreamed about for years, or simply ready for somewhere new, my job is to help make the planning feel just as exciting as the journey itself.

Where will your next journey take you?

From relaxed river journeys and ocean voyages to immersive adventures across Europe, Asia, and beyond, explore a few of the travel experiences I most love helping my clients plan.

Some trips are simply too good not to share

Curated by Kim is my collection of standout departures with itineraries, experiences, and value that caught my attention. The pricing is already locked in, and with departures stretching into 2027 and 2028, there’s plenty of time to plan ahead.

And the trips marked in red? I’ll be there too.

These are the departures I'll be experiencing alongside fellow travelers.

Kind words from travelers

"Working with Kim was wonderful from start to finish. She was highly involved in the planning process but followed our lead to pick our dream honeymoon destination and resort. Kim listened to our wishlist and found the absolute perfect resort. We would have never found the resort we ended up with, with so many included perks, and the best view. Typically, planning for travel feels overwhelming but with Kim’s assistance and guidance it felt fun and exciting. Right before our trip, she sent all of the documents needed for the resort, transportation, customs, etc. so that it was organized and accessible in one location which I appreciated SO much. I highly highly recommend working with Kim and Water Tower Travel for your next trip!"
