Fun in the Windy City!
Reviewed By kevinp - Phoenix, Arizona | Traveled to Chicago ~ Illinois ~ USA
Tom was very thorough and professional from start to finish. He helped us find a great hotel rate just off of Michigan Ave. and was very patient with us as we looked through the options. Upon arriving at our hotel room, it exceeded our expectations. Tom not only helped us with our hotel but also provided us with information on things to do in the city and a list of bars/restaurants which helped as we navigated our way through the city. We will only be booking my trips through Tom and I recommend him to anyone looking on having a worry free trip! Already looking forward to my next trip.

Relaxing, stress-free trip to Florida
Reviewed By Abby - Milwaukee, WI | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Tom is incredibly easy to work with and took care of all of our questions regarding our trip. We gave him a few parameters that we were looking for, and he got back to us quickly with well-researched options. Once our family decided on where to stay, he quickly took care of the booking process for the flight and hotel. It made our lives very easy! He checked in with us before and after the trip, which was reassuring and thoughtful. We cannot recommend Tom highly enough for your next travel experience!

Autumn Hawaiian Trip
Reviewed By Rick & Sue Johnson - Hartland, Wisconsin | Traveled to Hawaii Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Tom was very easy to work with. He gave us a number of different options for our Hawaiian trip and let us make the final decisions without any pressure. He even spent time researching airlines for us to find the best deal. He gave numerous options to us, but laid them out in a manner where we didn't feel overwhelmed with choices, He also spent time upfront understanding what we wanted to do and more importantly didn't want to do. And as a result the trip was leisurely and yet filled with events at the same time. We will use Tom again.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Tom Demeter responded:
Thanks Sue and Rick! I'm glad I was able to help make your trip to Hawaii a great one. It was a pleasure working with the two of you and I can't wait to help you with your next vacation.

We booked with Tom for a cruise to Ensenada and had a great experience working with him! He was very detailed and had a great knowledge base for all things cruising. None of us had been on a cruise before but we felt well prepared and Tom made the experience seamless. I highly recommend hiring Tropic Arrow for your next cruising vacation!

Return to Hawaii, for fun in the tropics!
Reviewed By Jeff J - Waukesha, WI | Traveled to Kauai Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Tom was recommended to us for help in planning our trip to Hawaii. My wife and I found him to be helpful in every step of the planning process. We came to him with a general idea of where we wanted to go and when. Several options were suggested and the planning process started from there. We liked that he listened to what we wanted to do and made suggestions based on our desires. We settled on a direct flight from O'Hare to Maui, HI and then on to Kauai. Tom was familiar with Kauai, as he travelled there in the recent past. His suggestion was to stay at 2 different resorts, one on the north and one on the south end of the island to experience the best of what Kauai has to offer. This suggestion was spot on! We both enjoyed our time and experiences in Kauai and cannot wait to return.
Tom is a good communicator; email, phone calls, virtual meetings or text messages whatever our preference was at the time. Checked in often and was proactive. Our trip was stress free!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Tom Demeter responded:
Thanks Jeff! It was a pleasure working with you to create your vacation and it's great to hear that you had a good time in Kauai.

The Big Apple
Reviewed By Happy Duo - Milwaukee, Wisconsin | Traveled to New York City ~ New York ~ USA
Making arrangements in New York City can be daunting, but with Tom's help it couldn't have been easier. The confirmations and updates were very helpful. Really good communication.
We just gave him the dates and he secured the reservation at the hotel. We stayed at The Park Central which is a great location to access Central Park, the theater district, numerous restaurants and many of the sites. Our next trip we're definitely going to use his help.
Thanks Tom - you're the best!

Wonderful and relaxing.
Reviewed By Judy - Pewaukee, WI | Traveled to Phoenix ~ Arizona ~ USA
I would highly recommend Tom Demeter from Tropic Arrow Travel. His professional and friendly manner helped to give us a perfect trip. We gave him our budget and ideas for where we wanted to stay and in a very short time, Tom came up with many options and suggestions. The resort was great and in an area where we wanted to stay. Afterwards, Tom checked in with us to make sure all of our needs were met and that our experience was what we wanted. Great trip for us because all of our needs were taken care of by Tom at Tropic Arrow.
I would highly recommend Tom Demeter to be yours next source for travel.

Swim with manta rays at night?
Reviewed By Ann - Minneapolis, MN | Traveled to Hawaii Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
I naturally had waited too long before planning what to do on a trip to the Big Island in Hawaii. But Tom helped us book three amazing adventures to Mauna Kea, Volcano National Park and a night snorkel with manta rays. All were incredible experiences led by excellent guides. We would never have considered swimming with manta rays - at night no less - if Tom hadn’t recommended it based on his own personal experience! Tom is a travel agent who has actually traveled extensively and it makes all the difference in the world. He was easy to work with and was quick to respond to my numerous questions and concerns. I would highly recommend Tom as a travel agent and look forward to working with him again soon.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Tom Demeter responded:
Thanks Ann! The Big Island in Hawaii is one of my favorite locations to visit and I'm glad I was able to share some positive opportunities with you.

Our First Cruise
Reviewed By Lorraine - Liverpool, New York | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
We don’t use a travel agent when we travel, we like figuring out our plans ourselves. However, we have never cruised and recommendations suggested using a travel agent for Alaska.
Tom could not have been more helpful. He listened to what we were thinking, our budget and narrowed our choices down to 2 good options. He responded quickly to answer any questions and made good recommendations for excursions. He was easily available if we wanted to speak with him and discussed options so we understood our choices. We were very pleased with our experience, Holland America was great and we were much happier letting Tom do the work for us.
Tom Demeter responded:
Thanks Lorraine! I'm glad your first experience with a travel agent was a good one. It was great working with you and I can't wait to help you with your next trip.

Fantastic Trip with Detailed Plan
Reviewed By JLamers - Maplewood, MN | Traveled to Cancun ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
My wife and daughters recently planned travel to Cancun. Having not traveled to Mexico before we wanted a seamless trip plan. We contacted Tom Demeter with Tropic Arrow Travel and he talked through resort options, accommodations, excursions and all of the details to return to the US safely. We settled on the Wyndham Alltra Cancun - All Inclusive Resort and could not have been more happy with our decision. The resort was clean and the staff was so welcoming. Amazing Service!!!
Tom took extra effort in our travel experience and provided a detailed plan with multiple excursion options to consider each day we were looking to be off property. He took the time to plan for our daughters ages 8 and 11 so the entire family would have a great time.
Ahead of leaving Tom kept us up to date with health requirements and testing required to reenter the US and what paperwork was needed. Really can say enough about the exceptional service Tom provided. GREAT AGENT Highly Recommend!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends
Tom Demeter responded:
Thank you! I'm glad you and your family had a great experience in Cancun.
