About The Operach Team | Dream Vacations

The Operach Team

Hi! We’re Donna and Dave Operach — travel fanatics, memory-makers, and the proud leaders of one of the top-performing agencies in our franchise network (humble brag, but hey, we’ve been at this since 2010!).

What started as a shared love for exploring the world has grown into a full-blown mission: helping people like you plan unforgettable vacations. That’s us in the photo — proof that we don’t just talk the talk, we roll our suitcases through airports, cruise terminals, and cobblestone streets just as our clients do.

We’re backed by a wonderful team of travel professionals right here in our Overland Park office — smart, friendly team who share our passion for delivering outstanding service and designing trips that wow. Whether you're planning your first big getaway or your fiftieth, you're in great hands.

From bucket-list adventures to relaxing escapes, our team crafts personalized travel experiences across the globe. Europe? We’ve got custom itineraries down to an art. Alaska? Absolutely. River cruises, African safaris, Disney magic, tropical resorts, guided tours, and more — if it’s on your list, chances are we’ve already helped someone get there.

And our clients seem to like what we do — we’ve earned over 200 five-star Google reviews, which makes us feel all warm and fuzzy (and also very motivated to keep raising the bar).

Our clients span the country, but if you’re near Overland Park, Olathe, Leawood, Lenexa, or anywhere in the Kansas City area, swing by and say hello! We’re conveniently located at 14533 Metcalf Ave in Overland Park, KS.

Let’s plan something amazing — because life’s too short for boring vacations.
