Reviewed By karimc7 - Calgary, Alberta | Traveled to Italy | Europe
We have worked with Tara for several family vacations over the past few years. From curating our own individual experiences to assisting with flights/hotels/activities booking, everything has been seamless. All accommodations/tours have been wonderful, and her personalized restaurant/bar/pub/activities recommendations have been spot on. I have referred several friends and family members, and would do the same again.

The MacLean’s Do Europe
Reviewed By MacLean’s on the move - Calgary, AB | Traveled to Italy | Europe
If you think planning an extensive European vacation is just book a flight and vibe, you clearly haven’t met Tara. She orchestrates our trips like a Michelin-star tasting menu. From boutique hotels and seamless transfers, to how did she even find this place moments, we always feel like travel insiders. Meanwhile, she’s the wizard behind the curtain making sure everything runs smoothly.
Tara has crafted our trips to Portugal, Spain, Italy, England, France, Prague, Vienna, Amsterdam, and most recently a women’s wine tour through Tuscany. 10/10 would let her plan all my vacations!

Epic European Adventure!
Reviewed By Whatsnext - Calgary, Alberta | Traveled to Europe
When I decided to travel solo through Europe for 2 1/2 months, Tara was my biggest cheerleader. Hotels, planes, trains, buses, ferries and excursions are booked with her client’s needs in mind . Not only did she handle all of the logistics, Tara was also available to troubleshoot along the way. That kind of support eliminated my anxiety and let me focus on the numerous epic adventures!

Excellent Travels
Reviewed By Deb - Calgary | Traveled to Italy | Europe
Tara organized and planned a wonderful family trip to Italy that we took in July 2025. Our teenage kids loved it as much as we did. Tara made a couple of recommendations such as a vintage fiat 500 Godfather tour which was a highlight.
More recently, Tara planned a wonderful London and Cotswolds experience. We are currently working on a Switzerland trip for this fall which, with her experience, will not disappoint.

Couples Trip to Portugal
Reviewed By Stacey - Calgary | Traveled to Portugal ~ Europe
The experience that I have had with Tara has been excellent. She has booked multiple trips for me and we have been happy with them all! Our favourite trip so far has been a couples trip to Portugal. Tara booked our accommodations, flights, several restaurants and all our tours. We were provided with app that showed us all our bookings and she went through everything with us before our departure. Once on the trip everything went smoothly and we had an amazing time. I would have never been able to plan a trip like this on my own.

Excellence Playa Mujeres was amazing!
Reviewed By Tracey - Swift Current | Traveled to Playa Mujeres ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Great service! The first time we booked with Tara was Christmas of 2018 for a last minute trip. She was very patient with us as we decided where to go and she was persistent in helping move us when the resort put us in a dark corner room on the main floor.
The next trip went without a hitch, but she emailed us regularly to make sure we were happy with everything.
We will definitely be booking with her again in the future.
