Tads travel hub was seriously a lifesaver for my bridal trip. I couldn’t handle booking a vacation for an entire group of gals, but Tad saved ud.

25th Anniversary trip.

Reviewed By Happy customer - Durham NC | Traveled to Europe
My husband and our teenage daughters traveled through 7 European countries by plane, train, boat, car, bike and foot. A theme that matched our international wedding. We visited friends and family in Norway, Holland, and Poland while driving and staying in Denmark, Germany, Belgium, and France.

Although the weather was very hot in some places (it was August) and there was no air conditioning, it really didn’t matter as this trip was truly amazing and a beautiful experience to share and hold in our memories forever.

Our teens at the time were challenged some, but overall they LOVED IT! The shopping, meeting new family and seeing family we had not seen in years.

Tad arranged our entire itinerary, with a leased vehicle, ferry tickets, accommodations, and great advice on every aspect of our experience.

I recommend him highly and will use him again.
