From Our Happy Clients

Amazing!

I didn’t know where to start with planning our trip, but the Germany Travel Planner has been extremely helpful for me. It’s organized and broken down into sections and check-lists which I need!!

I was able to hit the ground running with our travel plans because Cate’s experience and knowledge is wrapped up in this amazing bundle!”
– Anna

Super confident now

SO much great info and so easy to use! Best thing I did was get the Germany Travel Planner from the website and a one on one consult with Cate Brubaker!! I’m super confident on our plans now!
– Melinda

Breaks it down into simple steps

“If anyone is on the fence about buying Cate’s Germany Travel Planner…DO IT!

My husband and I are planning our trip and we just got the bundle tonight and it’s so cool. Lots of ideas, links etc. But my favorite feature is the spreadsheets with the ability to check the boxes and move stuff around.

Planning can be overwhelming, and Cate breaks it down into simple steps to help you choose what works best for you. Thanks Cate!
– Stephanie

Helped me tremendously

It helped me tremendously to use the Germany Travel Planner to make plans for our trip in April!
– Cheryl

Highly Recommend!

We had our one on one consult last weekend! So informative and everything in the follow up communications were on point AND sent to us the next day! Highly recommend! Don’t delay!
– Catrina

Exactly The Way We Wanted It!

We assumed a trip to Germany would involve working with a high-cost travel agent or being stuck with an inflexible group tour itinerary. But Cate at mygermanyvacation.com gave us the advice, resources and confidence to plan our trip to Germany customized exactly the way we wanted it!
– Mark and Sendie

Above & Beyond

I just wanted to share my experience with Cate. First, she is an expert in her craft. My immediate and extended family of 11 will be traveling to Germany, and if you can imagine we had several questions. Cate answered all of them which ranged from transportation (traveling by train), things to do, restaurants, and more importantly not just telling us but showing us on her interactive maps and her many links. Just the information we gained about the train system was invaluable.

She goes above and beyond to help you build a fabulous trip. We really couldn’t have accomplished our finalized plans without her assistance. 100 percent worth the zoom call, and I recommend using Cate for all your Germany travel needs. –Amy

A Lot of Fun to Chat With!

If you are planning a trip to Germany, I cannot stress enough how much a consult with Cate will enhance your trip.

This is my third year in a row to go to Germany (I am very fortunate) and my third consult. Every single time, she has offered valuable tips and guidance for my trip. And, if you don’t already have the Germany Travel Planner — get it NOW! It is invaluable with interactive maps, cheat sheets, travel tips, and even a spreadsheet!

Besides the great information you will get from Cate, she is a lot of fun to chat with! You just cannot go wrong with a consult! Thanks Cate!
– Jen

Absolutely Wonderful

We’re a group of 4 planning a 16 day journey to Germany (mostly) in November/December this year (YAY FOR US!). We’ve a very exciting and busy time to look forward to and I feel 100% confident in our plans, ESPECIALLY after my consultation with Cate!!

She was absolutely wonderful, knowledgeable and, oh so patient with my 8 million questions!!! Highly recommend!!!! Thanks again Cate!!
❤️ – Melinda

Feel so much more confident

We can’t tell you how much you helped to streamline our trip.

We feel so much more confident about the trains and our day trips. We are so excited to get there now knowing we have a plan!
– Lorrie

Helped Us Prioritize

If anyone is on the fence about using Cate’s consultation offering, I would highly recommend it. We had our 90 minute Zoom call last week and Cate imparted a lot of knowledge and helped us finalize the cities we should visit and how many days to spend in each. And she helped us prioritize some of the sites that we wanted to see. I was able to ask various questions about how the trains work which was an area I was really concerned about.

Thank you Cate Brubaker for all your assistance.
– Brian

Amazing

Omgggg you are amazing!!! Thank you so much for the itinerary – it helped a lot.
– Monica

I am so grateful to have found Cate from My Germany Vacation! I received such helpful guidance during our planning session. Cate offered terrific suggestions, researched with us in real time, and helped us develop a plan we are super excited about.
Thank you, Cate!
– Michelle

Invaluable

I highly recommend scheduling a one on one consult with Cate. I had that consult recently and it was invaluable!
– Jen

Wealth of Information

If you ever have a chance to talk with Cate – jump at it! I consulted with her for over 90 minutes and she was a wealth of information. I highly recommend her if you’re planning a trip to Germany.
– Erin

Very Helpful

The consult was very helpful to streamline our trip. I really appreciate Cate considering our interests and budget. Follow up was quick and questions answered promptly. The Germany Travel Planner is helpful as well.
– Anita

Better prepared now

I couldn’t have planned my first trip to Germany without Cate! I am better prepared now and ready for my first international trip.
– Jenny

You won’t be disappointed

My 1 on 1 planning with Cate was amazing. She helped me plan my entire itinerary. She gave me insider tips that I didn’t know and helpful suggestions like where to stay, what route to take, and things to see and do. She supplied all the links and gave me access to a digital map. You won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend it!
– Christina

Thank You!

I am so glad that I decided to have a consultation with Cate. She provided some very helpful suggestions in regards to the rail system in Germany, and also about a new tour guide she heard about in Munich. My sons and I cannot wait for our vacation! Thank you Cate!
– Sheri

Superb Planners!

Cate and Aaron are superb planners! We needed urgent help to plan our itinerary. Cate was able to quickly schedule a consult despite her busy schedule. She has a wealth of information about Germany. She gave us excellent tips, answered all our questions and prepared a well-organized spreadsheet with all the information. We couldn’t be more satisfied!
– Nipun

Super glad to have found this site

We used the website to plan our trip that we just returned from! I found the guides and suggested itineraries super helpful. We weren’t able to schedule a consult because we sort of decided last minute to go but I am super glad to have found the site and this page. When we plan our next trip, I’ll be setting up a consult with Cate!
– Elizabeth

Exceeded my expectations

I highly recommend Cate with MyGermanyVacation.com. I learned about Cate when I asked to join her Facebook page, GERMANY Trip Planning, and then I learned more from her website. I do a lot of research and planning for our family vacations, but this was my first trip to Germany, and I was a little nervous. I booked a consultation with Cate and purchased the vacation planner, and Cate exceeded my expectations.

She answered all my questions and helped to outline the entire vacation. Minutes into our call I felt comfortable and confident about my upcoming trip.
-Christine

Plan without too much rush

Cate‘s Germany Travel Planner map helps you figure out what’s close add realistically what’s do-able, without too much rush rush and time frittered away by just getting place to place.
– Kaya

SO helpful!

The Germany Travel Planner’s guides and map have been SO helpful!
– Ann Marie

Exceeded my expectations

I purchased the Germany Travel Planner, and Cate exceeded my expectations.
– Christine

Very Useful

I purchased the Germany Travel Planner and was pleased to find tips that were very useful. I lived in Bamberg for six years as a child and had completely forgotten about the use of converters. The map was very useful for accommodations and tours. It may be my last trip to Europe, so thank you for all the help! I am planning for seven people and already have half the trip booked and paid! The Facebook group has also helped me when in doubt the people here answered my questions. Kudos and onward!
