Alaska Cruise

Reviewed By Traveling girl - Milwaukee, WI | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Tom was a great help in planning our trip. He recommended a number of different options and shore excursions for us to choose from. Some were not offered directly by the cruise line, but they were very good and easy to connect with on shore. He recommended Holland America; they were a good line because the ship went into Glacier Bay National Park and the park rangers came on board for lectures. Holland America was good in all respects; we had a great time on the ship itself.
Two weeks before our trip, Tom sent us a check list of about 20 items that we should consider or take care of before we left; it was very helpful. All the reservations we made through him were in place in Alaska when we arrived; we had no issues or problems.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends

Tom Removes the Stress From Vacation Planning!

Reviewed By Derek - Phoenix, AZ | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Tom was extremely easy to work and throughout the entire process he was very professional, thorough, and thoughtful. We booked our first ever trip to Cancun through Tom, and he did a great job of offering suggestions based on what was important to us. He sent over very detailed but digestible options and broke down what each resort/area excelled at and what to expect. In addition, he offered great suggestions of excursions, food, and sight-seeing that fit our personal preferences. He completely removed the stress from vacation planning, so we could just focus on enjoying our trip. I will be booking my next vacations through Tom, and would strongly recommend his services to anyone booking their next vacation!

Date night at Disneyland

Tom provided excellent service from the very first germ of an idea I had for this trip until I was home and unpacking the memories.

Everything worked out perfectly and if your trip needs to be perfect (and you'd rather spend your trip having fun than stressing out to make that happen yourself) call Tom!

Fun trip in the Big Apple!

Reviewed By Meggy - Milwaukee, WI | Traveled to New York City ~ New York ~ USA
Tom did a wonderful job planning and executing our trip to New York City. Researching where to stay and what to do is always a little stressful, especially when there are so many options like in NYC. Tom took the stress out of planning a trip. He was organized and gave us great hotel choices. He even found us a unique food tour! Tom also saved us money by booking flights at the "just right" time. Throughout the process, he made sure we were having a good time and everything was running smoothly! I will for sure book all my trips with Tropic Arrow in the future.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I would highly recommend Tom Demeter from Tropic Arrow Travel. His professional and friendly manner helped to give us a perfect trip.

Afterwards, Tom checked in with us to make sure all of our needs were met and that our experience was what we wanted.

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.

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:

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!!!
