About Me

Casa deCampos Destination Wedding

My love for travel and adventure started as an exchange student in High School.

Most people believe that an amazing vacation is out of their reach, it's not!

With over 12 years of professional/personal travel experience and considerable knowledge in planning amazing and unforgettable vacations. I can make your dream vacation or destination wedding a reality, most trips can be booked with a low deposit and you can make interest free payments, it's that simple.

Having had the opportunity to visit many of the destinations I specialize in it has allowed me to experience firsthand what these amazing places have to offer you, my client. It is my honor to book your special getaway.

I take great pride in my research and will work until your dreams and desires are met.

Continuing my education both by adding to my travel experience and by participating in certification programs offered by tourism boards, tour operators, and cruise lines. My education in the travel industry truly never stops.

We are a full-service travel agency specializing in Europe, all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean, Mexico & Central America. We also specialize in Destination Weddings, Religious, Family Reunions, Cruises, Adventure Travel

River cruises are now my new favorite. I am loving the sites and history of Europe. The wine and food tours are excellent, and the history is simply awe-inspiring. I can't get enough of the Castles.

Vacations ARE NOT a "One size fits all" I can customize your vacation to fit YOUR personal needs and budget. Your time is valuable don't waste it on endless Internet searches that leave your head spinning let my knowledge and expertise save you time and money. Work with someone who really cares about every aspect of your trip, from transfers, trains, hotels, excursions etc...Your friendly professional, travel expert is only a phone call away! Carpe Diem

Everything was perfect. I highly recommend. -Ashle

I would like to say a HUGE shout out to Somerset Tours & Travel, owner Kathleen Scallon. She was very helpful and knowledgeable and found my son a great vacation The next day I learned her agency burned to the ground. My heart sank for this kind woman. Just when you think all is lost, destroyed. Kathleen contacts you and tells you NOT to WORRY. In her struggles of losing her building, she came through. Kathleen Scallon does not need the building to define what a dedicated ethical travel agent she is. She still went above and beyond to make the experience everything that you could ask for. If you need a vacation! Please, take my suggestion and give Somerset Tours & Travel a call. Even in her darkest days, she took care of her clients.

An unforgettable last minute getaway

Reviewed By Alison Tripp - East Freetown, Ma | Traveled to Mexico

Kathleen was awesome to work with! In April, 2016, right after her office burned to ashes it was our 25th wedding anniversary and we wanted to celebrate at an all inclusive in Mexico. We reached out to Travel Leaders and were very fortunate and happy to be connected with Kathleen. She listened to what we wanted our getaway to include and she was very thorough in fulfilling our dream trip. Even during this devastating time in her life. It was an unforgettable adventure! Everything was perfect thanks to Kathleen! In fact, we're working with her on putting together our next vacation! This time with our family.

Kathleen Scallon responded

"Thank you. I cant believe I was still able to work at that time as the fire deeply effected me. I'm thrilled I was able to accommodate you and make your dream come true. I so love what I do, making certain my clients get everything they dream of is truly my passion. It's so funny, my husband says I get high helping clients achieve their ultimate vacation as I work around the clock to assure everything is as perfect as can be. I take your vacation very personally. Your VACATION is OUR Business""

Our Romantic overdue vacation

Reviewed By Maggie and Charlie Cotali Dipip - Bristol, R.I. | Traveled to Aruba ~ Netherlands Antilles ~ Caribbean

Romantic, relaxing, fun and exciting, I have traveled all over the world as a child, although it has been 10 years since my last vacation. WOW has the world of travel changed! I feel blessed Kathleen was recommended to us, she took the extra time to help us with our passports, find the perfect resort, exactly what we imagined. Most important, she eased our anxiety navigating the airports in this crazy world. I will recommend Kate to all our friends. She's honest, funny and really cares for her clients. We felt very confident. We even called her 3 times while in Aruba and Kathleen helped us with each concern. The world needs more people like this young lady.

Kathleen Scallon responded

"Thank you for being wonderful, easy going, thoughtful clients . It has been my pleasure working with you both and look forward to many more fun adventurers, -Kathleen."

Unexpected Wild Adventure

Reviewed By Anita and Phillip Miranda - Westport,Ma 02790 | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America

Traveling with 3 boys and a daughter my husband and I was a bit nervous where to take our family for vacation. My daughter wanted horseback riding and the boys wanted hiking and ATVs. I had no idea where to take this bunch. After days of researching I gave up and a friend told me about Somerset Tours & Travel. Wow, one visit and we were on our way to some great adventures in Costa Rica. The kids are still talking about it. I am happy the Agency is back. I wish them the very best and plan on visiting very soon

Kathleen Scallon responded

"It was my pleasure, I truly have fun researching the perfect spot to send my clients. Your vacation is very important to me. I am so happy your family have these wonderful memories. I’m looking Forward to seeing you all again soon."

An Anniversary we wont ever forget

Reviewed By Adam and Susan Andrade - Rehoboth, Ma | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean

During the move to her new office, Kathleen still took the time to make sure our flights were on time and my wife and I sat together. The resort she recommended was exactly as she said, We stood at the Hyatt Zilara in Jamaica. Kathleen had a private driver waiting for us to take us to the resort. She is so thoughtful, kind and does more than she should.

Kathleen Scallon responded

"Dear Adam and Susan, It was my pleasure to help plan your Anniversary. I believe we all should cherish our time as life goes by way to fast. The Hyatt Zilara is a wonderful resort, I knew you would love it. Clients like you both make my job very special, Thank you- Kathleen Scallon"
