Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland
Hi there and welcome to my profile.
Why I Love Travel
My love for travel began many years ago when my father took us on a family vacation across the country. We traveled from Delaware to California in the family station wagon and stopped at many amazing places. I got to see a rainbow inside the Grand Canyon, hike Garden of the Gods, ascend Pikes Peak, cross the Hoover dam, visit Reno and Las Vegas, NV, and of course Disneyland! Since then I have been to almost every state in the United States and have traveled to many different countries. I'm not stopping now.
My Love of Ireland
After opening Vibrant Travel I visited Ireland. It was on my bucket list like many other travelers. One trip and I was hooked. Ireland is the most amazing place and I now plan and escort groups to Ireland. I love combining conventional small group tours with extensions where I can show off Dublin or the surrounding areas to my clients. I also love to plan specialty trips like Castles and Manor stays or foodie tours. If you love seafood, I have some great ideas for you! There is so much to see and experience in Ireland beyond the green colors and oh the stories you'll hear. I even kissed the blarney stone!
That is my story and with any luck, I gained the gift of eloquence when I kissed the stone, but you'll have to decide if the legend is true.
Kind Regards
Tina Vestal, CTC

The Cliffs of Moher
We have all seen the iconic pictures of the Cliffs of Moher, pronounced like “mow-er” or "mo-her", but being there in person, will take your breath away. This dramatic view has been featured in many movies including Harry Potter, The Princess Bride, Leap Year, and many more. Once there you’ll understand why.

Client Testimonials
Loved the Custom Tour Through Europe
I can’t say enough about my wonderful experience with Tina and Vibrant travel! She helped us plan the perfect European vacation! She chose amazing hotels in the perfect locations, coordinated all of our transfers and transportation between cities, and recommended and arranged once in a lifetime tours and experiences. On top of all of that, she kept us up to date on all COVID requirements, tipping policies, and currency exchange information. She was also our go-to person while on vacation. When one of our travel party missed a connection and needed new airline tickets, Tina worked late into the night to get him new flights. We are so grateful, Tina! Thank you for taking care of every detail so we could actually enjoy our vacation! We will be using Tina for every vacation in the future.

First Trip to Paris
I loved working with Tina from Vibrant Travel! This summer I went to Paris and I felt like I never had to worry about the stress of planning and scheduling. Very organized and very efficient! Tina planned events based on what I wanted to see and not based on what is recommended by the general public in Paris. This trip was a life changer for me and I am so glad I had Vibrant Travel to guide me along the way. I highly recommend this company, because even though they are just starting out, you will receive personal and kind service from an amazing business woman with travel experience.
