While Kitty Herrmann was born in the US—upstate New York to be exact—she has always remained close to her Scots-Irish roots. Her father was of Scots descent and kitty grew up with stories of Scotland from her Canadian-Scots relatives and enjoyed attending the local versions of the Scottish Games with her father. Her mother was part of a large Irish family originally from County Clare (Kitty’s grandfather had 11 brothers and a sister), and Kitty learned about the Irish and their traditions from her mother’s family. Kitty’s fascination with her heritage led her to major in history—specifically the history of the United Kingdom and Europe—in college, and after her first trip to the UK and Ireland she was hooked.  She has been traveling back for the past thirty-four years.

 Becoming a travel agent specializing in the British Isles and Europe seemed the obvious choice for her. For the past fourteen years, that is exactly what she has done. She is married to an avid golfer, who is her golf consultant, and is familiar with both the famous and the less-known courses in the UK, many of which host qualifying rounds for the British Open.

At the beginning of 2007, Kitty partnered with Kathy Summers (Designed for You Travel) and is an affiliate of Uniglobe Travel and Vacation.com. She continues her travels in Europe, attending many of the trade fairs, and maintains her many UK and Irish contacts.  She has also broadened her horizons by becoming a Certified Austrian Specialist and a Switzerland Specialist, and continues to embrace the study programs offered by European countries as they become available.

Kitty offers packaged coach and cruise tours, fly-drive tours, and designs custom tours for individuals and small groups.  Her intimate knowledge of the area allows her to offer tidbits of information to her clients, including turn-by-turn directions to some of the best kept secrets for dining and shopping.
