Tara Hyland ASA, MCC

Excellent to work with and provided all the planning so we could have an enjoyable trip. Any issues were quickly and satisfactorily addressed. Look forward to Tara's assistance planning our next trip.

A unique travel specialist who comes up with wonderful ideas.  I recommend highly her travel advisory services

My wife and I were extraordinarily pleased with our recent trip to Egypt.  This was the second trip that Tara Hyland set up for us, and we remain highly pleased with her professionalism, knowledge, and individual attention.  Tara is first-class and we will return to her in the near future.

most important she is attentive to details and follow up

Tara arranged for us to tour the Normandy, France area with a guide whom Universal Travel has used on numerous occasions. John was fabulous. His knowledge of the events of D-Day and of the Normandy area were excellent. Tara was very prompt in following through on all details of the trip.

Tara planned my Bucket List trip superbly! I asked for a SPA Resort, and she suggested The Miraval and it was by far, better than expected. Everything about the Resort was done well from entering the grounds, checking in, my casita, classes, exercises, tasty and well balanced menu, smoothie bar, gift shop, SPA & treatment center, artwork throughout the property including the person who met me at the Airport upon arrival! Everything about the trip was well planned & executed along with keeping me and the other guest engaged. The communing with nature and the meandering stream that flows through the property was lovely to watch and listen to as you sat and read whatever materials you had with you. OR you could do nothing and just sit and listen to the water lull you into a relaxed state! Many of the guest were repeat patrons and I'd like to share that experience and become a repeat customer. Wonderful 65th BDay gift to myself. Thanks TARA for making it happen! All my BEST!

Great detail in the planning. Quality vendors (drivers, guides, etc). Excellent restaurant choices. Hotel was even better than expected. Very happy!

She reacted exceptionally well to a bit of a crisis that was not caused by her, but a change of plans by one of my children. She is a great communicator.

This was the second time Tara had assisted us with planning a vacation and on both occasions she has done an excellent job for us. She planned well and gave good advise which enabled us to thoroughly enjoy our vacation.We would always seek her assistance when it is time for us to go somewhere.

Tara was very helpful. Her advise to us was based on knowledge and personal experience. She understood what we hoped for in our trip, and suggested the perfect balance of excursions and exploration. The arrangements she made for our airfair, ferries and hotels worked very well. We are most appreciative.

Outstanding....professional and caring! She guided the entire process with knowledge and researched all the elements of our trip so we made the best decisions! I highly recommend her for any travel advice and needs. Will absolutely use her services for my next trip! Loved the entire experience! Lil Vaughn

I highly recommend Tara and will continue to use her as my travel advisor for future vacations.

Outstanding. Sharp, responsive, focused on my satisfaction.

Tara works your trip as though she were going to be with you and wants the same quality for you that she would expect for herself. She was always available to discuss, answer questions and give advise on anything we were not sure of. I will always use Tara for those blessed times I get to go abroad and see the world. She is the consummate of travel agent and friend.

Tara has planned several trips for us and has one for us in March, 2018. She is excellent in planning, followup and communication. She has also worked for others in our family. Recommend her highly.

Tara Hyland is the consummate travel professional. She makes sure that all of the details are taking care of and that your trip runs smoothly from beginning to end. Her standards are very high....and so are mine! For excellent luxury travel, I would highly recommend Tara.

Working with Tara is always great. Not only is she well traveled and well versed on several areas in the world, her sense of humor is tops! Love her.

Tara is so pleasant to work with! She knows her product(s) and always takes the time to explain all the options to best fit my preferences!

As always excellent. Attention to all details. Whatever is committed to happens.

It's always a pleasure working with Tara. She did a terrific job with our trip. Everything went like clockwork Thanks to her follow through. She was so thoughtful in setting up a surprise luncheon for my birthday. It was a big hit. We look forward to working with Tara on our next trip.

There is no one else I would have plan my trips. She is excellent in every way. From suggestions/options for trips to last minute changes. She listens to you and picks up on subtle cues and makes your trip the best ever. I have had her plan multiple trips for me and have never been disappointed. On my last trip, she was able to arrange a special outing in less than 1 day after I texted her during my trip. During the trips she keeps up with your trip and she genuinely cares that you have a good experience. After the trip, she contacts you and likes to get updates how the trip went and suggestions for what you liked and for restaurant suggestions for others. She follows up on individual guides also. Due to her contacts she got as an upgrade at a hotel in Vienna that was unbelievable. She makes traveling easy.

All was well. We had a great trip. Tara went out of her way to make everything run smoothly. We were well informed and prepared for the journey.

Tara was a dream to work with. She is knowledgeable, professional, and kind. She gave us great advice on booking our cruise, and we had a wonderfully stress free experience. Thank you Tara!

Everything about this booking was terrific. Tara handled all aspects of this for us and communicated where things stood and what actions we needed to take every step of the way. The entire process went smoothly. She handled any questions we had in a timely matter and got us our cruise documents, after reviewing them to ensure they were proper. All in all, a pleasurable experience. I would certainly ask her to handle our next trip for us.

We had a wonderful experience working with Tara as our travel advisor. From the very beginning she was on top of everything and made certain we were totally taken care of! She discussed the airfare schedules with us, kept all the details organized, and offered up ideas and changes when appropriate! My husband and I will definitely plan our next vacation with Tara!

Tara was excellent in taking a bad situation that we had gotten into with direct booking with the cruise line and turning it into a pleasurable experience

So easy to work with her. Knowledgeable, listens, and tailors our trips to our wishes. Goes out of her way to make it happen!!

Wonderful! Couldn’t be better!

Tara did an extraordinary job for us. She listened to all our wants and needs and was able to find the best cruise for us! Tara was very knowledgeable about the ship and the destinations, which made it so much easier for us to decide what would work for us. Tara truly went the extra mile for us and I would recommend her to anyone! She went out of her was to help make this a trip we will always remember!

She is in constant contact with you down to the last minute and even while you are on your trip. Her desire is for her clients to be completely satisfied and feel they have had that magical trip they dreamed of.
