Viking River and Ocean Specialist

Tara was an absolute joy to work with. She was very diligent in ensuring that we were hitting the places and activities that interested us as a family. She sent us a very detailed itinerary that really helped us avoid decision fatigue and just general fatigue. We had an instance where one of the hotels had booked us incorrectly and Tara went above and beyond to call them hand help us figure it out even though it was 11:00pm for her. It was a huge help and relief. We would definitely book with her again.

Tara planned a fabulous trip to Universal Orlando for our group! She really listened to what we wanted. Have used her for other travel also! She’s awesome to work with!! No trip too big or small!!

We booked our first “out of the country” trip with Tara! She’s so amazing to work with! Takes care of all the little details that we wouldn’t know about without her in our corner! She’s very knowledgeable and so thoughtful about the whole process! Highly recommend Tara for all your travel needs!

Top notch service! We were looking for a room in a certain price range and Tara found us a beautiful hotel and booked a suite at a lower rate than a single room. So nice to spread out and relax! She went above and beyond.

Words can’t describe how awesome this trip was but here goes. Frrom our very first meeting we knew we would be in good hands. You planned every detail,answered all questions, and printed out our itinerary in detail. You talked us through the whole trip letting us know what xtras we needed to pay for,and advised how many Euros we would need. We only came back with $15 in euros. We had a few bumps in Paris,texted you not knowing you were on your Carribean cruise. You still took time and re-scheduled us. We didn’t get to go go the Eiffel Tower because we didn’t give the Uber the street address just said Eiffel Tower. Our fault. We walked down by the river(2blocks) and there was a river cruise getting ready to go so we bought tickets! Turned lemons to lemonade. Awesome cruise. We saw an air show by the French for their 14th of July celebration. The planes flew directly over our river boat. Lots of planes. Ended up still being an awesome day. The river cruise on Viking was nothing less than amazing !! Daily excursions were awesome and the food on the ship was amazing. Fran was able to eat 3 meals a day! Huge menu with daily specials or a menu of other choices(same daily). Not possible to be hungry! The chef was incredible! We were blown away by this trip. Fran posted daily on facebook and people were asking how we were able to plan this trip. We told them it was planned for us by Tara at Tara travel. A complete program was printed out for us and all we had to do is show up for the scheduled events. So simple for us. People asked for your info and Fran gave About 4 people your information and I gave a few more before we even left. Words can’t explain our appreciation for you help as a travel agent and a genuine caring person who doesn’t settle for anything less than excellence and you delivered in spades! We will continue to pass your name to anyone else who asks confidentially knowing all their expectations will be met!

Tara did an absolutely outstanding job planning our trip to Portugal and Spain! Every detail was thoughtfully and flawlessly executed and she went above and beyond in everyway to make our trip exceptional. Her recommendations for sightseeing, restaurants and shopping were wonderful and she introduced us to places we never would have discovered on our own. Her attention to detail and personal touch made all the difference. We couldn't have asked for a better travel experience and highly recommend Tara Travel!

Tara's friendly, upbeat manner helped me feel immediately like I was in good hands on the first call. I had only the vaguest ideas of where we wanted to venture next. We thought we would like to drive rather than fly and we love Canada. Tara set up a whole itinerary for a road trip with every stop, extra sites to include, and even a list of eateries along the way. We went from our home in New Hampshire to Bar Harbor, ME, to Halifax to PEI and St. Johns and then back to the US through Bangor. It was a wonderful trip and we knew that if anything required attention, we could always call Tara for help. Next, we wanted to try American Cruise Lines. We had sailed on larger ships but wanted something closer to home and again we turned to Tara. It was such a relief to not have to deal with the websites and myriad transactions that seem to go with booking ourselves. When there was a snafu with plane reservations, (ACL error) Tara not only was able to straighten out the error but arranged for us to receive unlimited excursions as a means of apology for their error! We saw the Chesepeake Bay in a way that brought history to life with the joy of the lovely landscape and charming towns along the way. There is a huge sense of comfort in knowing that should anything go wrong, Tara would be at the other end of any phone call of emergency we might have incurred to rectify the situation. She would do so with a cheerful attitude of helpfulness and competency that resolved issues and made even my travel-adverse husband feel like we could do this! From the thank you gifts for booking through her to the follow-up check-in, we felt we had an invisible friend at the ready should we need her. Indeed, at this point, we wouldn’t dream of any other way to plan a trip!

Tara booked our entire trip to Sandals Grenada. From the airlines down to picking which room we had! It was perfect and so relaxing… she even had advice on restaurants! She is enthusiastic and loves taking care of all the details. Highly recommend her services! We will be booking again!

Tara planned all the details for our trip to Sandals Royal Caribbean in Montego Bay. She made us aware of the immigration forms we needed, and even booked us with Club MoBay so we sped through customs. We had a wonderful experience and everything just flowed seamlessly. Will definitely use Tara Travel for all our future travel plans! Thank you!

Tara’s is fun and easygoing, and we were so honored to have her accompany our group travel! Tara’s research and insights into our destination made our trip so enriching. Every location, recommendation, and experience was spot-on making our trip unique and unforgettable! Tara made complex travel arrangements seem effortless. Tara excels at service. A local guide also accompanied us the entire trip and became part of our group. The guide helped interpret and shared knowledge about the local culture and all the many different tours we engaged in. Special touches added to our trip were not unnoticed as Tara truly went above and beyond. Attention to detail, prompt responses, and excellent recommendations truly made this vacation unforgettable. Every aspect of our trip was flawless, thanks to Tara’s expertise and attention to detail. I am incredibly thankful for Tara’s assistance. professionalism and commitment to ensuring a remarkable travel experience. She will be my first choice travel agent next time I travel! Thanks Tara!

Tara spent a lot of time presenting different options for our trip when we were not certain exactly where we wanted to stay. She answered every question in a timely manner satisfactorily. Highly recommended her.

Enjoyed the French roan river with Viking river cruises

Took a cruise from Rome to the Greek Isles including stops in Santorini, Turkey, Amalfi Coast. There were eight of our family on this cruise and plenty for everyone to enjoy.

We just returned from an amazing Southern Caribbean cruise, and I can't say enough good things about Tara Travel! From start to finish, Tara Travel took the stress and guesswork out of the entire process. It's the little things, the attention to detail, the knowledge, and knowing someone has your back that really make the difference. Instead of worrying about all the details, we were able to focus on what a vacation is supposed to be about — relaxing, having fun, and making memories. Our Southern Caribbean cruise was absolutely fantastic, and having Tara Travel handle the planning made the whole experience that much better. If you're planning a vacation, I can't recommend Tara Travel highly enough. Sometimes the best part of a great trip is having the right person help you get there! Thank you, Tara Travel, for helping make our vacation unforgettable! ?????

Tara was amazing to work with from start to finish. She even checked on us while we were on our trip to make sure we were all good. You can count on her to be there for you if you need anything from her. You won’t regret having her on your side. She’s outstanding and I will be definitely be calling her soon to set up another getaway.

Tara was awesome to work with and helped coordinate everything with our friend group! Will definitely use her again when traveling internationally, it put us at ease knowing we were doing the process right!

Thanks so much for your wonderful, thoughtful, help with our Viking cruise plus extensions. You always are very attentive and looking out for us. Thanks for everything

We had a wonderful time! Tara handled a few changes in the itinerary like she had done it 1 million times. We are booked for the next adventure to the Alaskan glaciers 2027.

We just returned from two magical weeks in Italy and thanks to Tara, it was absolutely perfect! We spent time watching videos and learning about what areas we wanted to visit and then handed off all the details and planning to Tara. It was so much fun finalizing the plan together with her and I think she enjoyed it as much as we did. After planning business travel my entire career it was almost hard to trust someone else to make it right. Well, every detail of this trip was well thought out, executed and right on. We will never plan another trip on our own! Our 3 nights in Venice, 3 nights in Florence and 5 nights in Tuscany were seamless, stress free and a dream come true!

I traveled with 18 other women for 10 days in Costa Rica. I made many lasting friendships and every day was a new adventure thanks to Tara!! It was so well planned and our feedback and interests were very important to her in planning our trip! We all had such an awesome experience that we want to get together again next year for a new adventure!

Tara is very attentive to detail, very hands on based on clients wishes and desires. She goes out of her way for any minute detail. When we were in Costa Rica, she helped my daughter find a dentist and me a med clinic. Checked on us daily. She is also very passionate and sees each location through the eyes of the traveler.

Tara helped us discover Viking river cruises as a way to tour the towns of southern France and helped up navigate the website to find our tours, specifically Lavender farms.
