My solo trip to Tahiti - Moorea Island

Traveling internationally by myself for the very first time was scary! I decided to go to the French Polynesian Islands because I had built friendships with a few people that live on Moorea Island. I felt safer going to a place I could contact someone if needed. However, as soon as I landed ... Read more from my My solo trip to Tahiti - Moorea Island story.

Best Colorado ski trip!

Reviewed By Troy Jackson - Dallas, Texas | Traveled to Keystone ~ Colorado ~ USA
I was completely unaware of how many ski resorts are in Colorado. They all vary is skill level as well as price and distance. It was extremely overwhelming for me to plan my trip for my family as I had never been to Colorado before and wanted to experience the winter mountain ski resorts. She recommended the best area for my budget and got my family an amazing place to stay and recommended other activities for us to do. She suggested we stay in Frisco so we had access to Keystone, Breckenridge, and A-Basin ski areas for the entire week we stayed. She also recommended the tubing in Keystone which was a blast for my kids. I'd recommend her to family and friends. Will definitely book with her again.

The best trip of our lives!!!!!

Reviewed By trodymom - Rockledge, FL | Traveled to Colorado ~ USA
I wanted to take my family on a vacation to Colorado to see the snow and mountains, but was lost on where to even begin planning. I had never been to Colorado or worked with a travel agent before, but I knew I needed some help. I decided to search for a Colorado travel agent and Tara was the first person that came up. Tara happily explained how her services work and after a short first phone call, I knew she understood what I had in mind. Tara suggested many activities and places to stay that I would have never discovered on my own. We visited Frisco, Breckenridge, Keystone, Georgetown, Evergreen, Morrison and Denver. I had never heard of Frisco before, but it ended up being our favorite town. I cannot say enough good things about Tara. She was always available to take my calls, responds quickly to texts and sent many emails with links of things to do. She made planning this trip a breeze and we really had the trip of a lifetime! Tara is the best and cant wait to work with her again!

Tara planned our trip to New Zealand. Without a doubt she knows how to put together an amazing itinerary.

I had never used a travel agent before and Tara was extremely helpful, she answered all my questions and gave me a ton of information I did not know about. She was able to book me flight and hotel!

Honeymoon in Tahiti

Reviewed By Jessica - Salida, Colorado | Traveled to Tahiti ~ French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
Tara planned our amazing honeymoon trip to Tahiti and Moorea Island last month! She was so detailed and planned for every aspect. I had no idea everything that goes into planning a destination trip, and she nailed it! She recommended we go to Moorea Island verses staying on Tahiti the entire time. I am so thankful she said to do that. It was breath taking and so worth the ferry ride over! I would highly recommend Tara to book your trip to Tahiti or any of the South Pacific Islands!

She is a Tahiti expert!!!

Reviewed By Pacific Travelers - Colorado Springs, Colorado | Traveled to Tahiti ~ French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
I was looking for an expert to book my trip to Tahiti with my husband, and I found Tara on travel leaders. I was extremely impressed as she has friends who live on Moorea Island and has connections in the city of Papeete for transportation to and from the airport. She has connections with people that do private swimming, paddleboard lessons, and Tahitian canoe lessons. We were not able to do all the things she recommended due to time but wow did we have an experience. Moorea is so beautiful, the snorkeling was some of the best we've done... and Bora Bora is the luxury experience we were looking for while we were there! If you are going to any of south pacific islands Tara is the expert I'd book with. I will be having her book our future vacations as well.
