AFRICAN JOURNEYS & HERITAGE TRAVEL SPECIALIST

Tamara was very knowledgable on how to travel internationally. She communicated often and provided the best options for places to stay and visit. Highly recommend using her services

We celebrated my 75th birthday by taking a cruise with about thirty family and friends. We are experienced travelers who typically plan our own vacations however this time I asked Tamara to oversee and plan everything. It was one of the best vacation experiences we've had because she took care of every detail! She is attentive and kept us updated on even the smallest details.

Tamara is very knowledgeable, patient and diligent with her duties and responsibilities as a Travel Advisor. From the inception of planning my trip, to the very end, Tamara provided detailed information about the country, various points of interest, highlights of places to visit, and travel information. From Capetown, Johannesburg, Soweto and the Safari Tamara put together everything without any problems or situations. She captured all the places we were thinking of visiting with a few additions. Her explanations and professional advice were on point. Her dedication and expertise was impeccable! She relieved my stress of trying to plan such an extensive trip for my bestie and myself. We both totally enjoyed our South Africa vacation especially the Safari! She aims to please. Completely satisfied with her service! Tamara is highly recommended for all your travel events and needs without hesitation. She’s already planning our Fall trip to Asia next year! How exciting.. Keep up the good work Tamara. Wishing you much success as our Best Travel Advisor Ever!!

Choosing Tamara as our dedicated travel agent for our destination wedding was truly one of the best decisions we made. From day one, she was an incredible guide through every phase of coordinating accommodations for our 100 guests. When we first connected, we had already selected Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya as our wedding resort. Tamara immediately jumped in to help us navigate contract options and next steps. Even though the process felt lengthy and a bit overwhelming at times, she remained informative, patient, and reassuring—constantly reminding us that she would guide us through it all. Tamara handled everything from day one to beyond the wedding day: securing and reviewing the resort contract, communicating directly with the resort on our behalf, fielding all guest questions and concerns, managing reservation changes, and so much more. Looking back, we truly don’t know how we would have managed the accommodations process without her. She built an easy-to-use booking website for our guests, personally assisted anyone who needed special arrangements, and met with us multiple times each month to provide updates and answer questions. She even went above and beyond by helping us plan our honeymoon to Thailand. Overall, if you’re considering Dream Explorations as your travel agency—don’t hesitate. Choosing Tamara was one of the best choices we made for our wedding, and we are so grateful for everything she did to make our experience seamless and unforgettable.

Tamara exceeded all expectations in crafting the perfect Italian adventure. From securing a private cooking class in Rome steps from the Vatican to arranging an afternoon gondola ride in Venice, every detail was thoughtfully curated. There wasn’t a single hiccup. When our flight to Venice was cancelled a week before our trip, Tamara assisted us with alternative options and arranged the booking. That level of care made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. Communication was prompt and reassuring; we felt guided, not just booked. We’re already dreaming up our next adventure with Tamara's help!

We can’t thank Tamara enough for planning the most amazing European river cruise and our extended stay in Paris and Switzerland. .She truly listened to what we were looking for in a vacation. Her attention to detail was amazing she provided us with a stress-free vacation. Thank you Tamara!

I recently worked with Tamara for my trip to London, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the start, they took the time to understand the purpose of my trip and tailored everything—from accommodations to experiences—around the event I was celebrating. She provided a flexible itinerary filled with great options, including some amazing restaurants that offered live entertainment, which truly elevated the trip. The recommendations were spot on and perfectly aligned with my interests. Everything was priced reasonably, and I appreciated the variety of choices I was given throughout the planning process. The level of service was excellent—responsive, thoughtful, and professional from beginning to end. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a travel agent who listens, personalizes, and delivers a memorable experience!

My wife and I recently returned from an unforgettable trip to Tokyo, Japan — and we owe a huge part of that amazing experience to our incredible travel agent, Tamara. From the very beginning, she made the planning process smooth, exciting, and completely stress-free. Tamara took the time to really understand what we wanted out of this trip with a perfect balance of cultural exploration, relaxation, and some once-in-a-lifetime experiences. She delivered in every way. Our itinerary was thoughtfully curated, with a mix of iconic sights all over Tokyo, plus some hidden gems that we never would have found on our own. Every hotel she selected exceeded our expectations, and the local tours and guides she arranged were professional, informative, and genuinely fun. Her restaurant recommendations were spot-on! We enjoyed everything from world-class sushi to cozy ramen spots we’re still dreaming about. What really stood out was Tamara’s attention to detail and responsiveness. She checked in wi

I had the time of my life

Tamara is amazing! She listens to your requests, offers suggestions and proceeds to create a vacation experience tailored especially for you. She is knowledgeable and professional. She makes recommendations that make your journey seamless, i.e. flights, insurance, pre and post stays, excursions,. Her attention to detail diminishes any stress you may have about your experience. On a recent trip to Japan, she made sure we knew about trash disposal (Japan is by far the cleanest destination I have ever visited), food choices, weather preparation, customs, tipping and certain words that would be useful. She suggested helpful apps to download to help with language. Tamara contacted the vendors to arrange for fluid transition from pre-tour stay to tour, as well as, scheduling tours outside of our package, which were wonderful. I highly recommend Tamara Elliott for all your travel needs.

Wonderful trip to Paris and Ghana

From the very beginning, they were incredibly attentive, listening closely to my preferences, goals, and budget to create a personalized experience that exceeded every expectation. Whether it was finding the perfect boutique hotel, arranging smooth transportation, or suggesting unique local excursions, every detail was thoughtfully curated to match my interests. I never felt like I was getting a generic trip—everything felt tailored specifically for me. Their communication was prompt and professional, and I always felt supported, even while I was abroad. If you’re looking for a travel agent who truly listens and delivers memorable, stress-free adventures, Tamara is the one! Highly Recommend!
