Personal Note From The President
Providing exceptional & customized itineraries
I have been traveling for as long as I can remember. When I’m not traveling, I’m plotting, planning and dreaming of my next adventure, always searching for the world’s most unique and exciting experiences.
My life experience has been somewhat eclectic. In addition to my corporate experience, I lived abroad for many years working as a professional actress/singer in Japan, Southeast Asia and Europe. Through it all, I traveled – I worked to travel.
My most recent corporate experience…Virtuoso! There I had the opportunity to learn the luxury travel industry from the inside. It was a fascinating experience and really put the finishing touches on everything I had learned via my own travel experience. An epiphany was reached, and Black Label was born! I have had extraordinary experiences, and want to share my passion with you. Live. Learn. Travel.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Outstanding attention to detail
Carolyn
Denver, CO
I found Kim's process to be smooth, organized and efficient. She really took the time to get to know us and understand our needs. We had an amazing trip with some nice surprises thrown in thanks to Kim’s connections. It was a delight working with Kim. We put together just what we were imagining for our trip. The trip of a lifetime!
Jeff
Scottsdale, AZ
Recently my husband and I were blessed to experience our 'Trip of a Lifetime' thanks to the incomparable assistance of Kim Rickels. Words genuinely cannot begin to express all that Kim did to help us realize our dream in planning and executing our Italian vacation. Kim's warm, approachable personality make it easy to talk honestly with her. More than that, she anticipated potential challenges and solved them before they ever materialized. Do not look further than Kim--there is none better!
Ann
Maui, HI
Kim went so far above and beyond to help us with our Alaskan Cruise. She made us excursion and dinner reservations based on things she knew would interest us. I would have been totally overwhelmed with the planning of this trip and she made it fun and enjoyable every step of the way. She even managed to get us loads of credit for the ship which we never would have known we were eligible for.

Informative, helpful and easy. It was through a good discussion that Kim came up with options. They were superb.

Kim did an amazing job researching different options tailored to our family's needs for a Hawaiian vacation. We couldn't have been happier! Her recommendations were fantastic and she took care of every detail of our trip. Thank you so much Kim for creating such a fantastic experience and great memories.
