My job is to schedule travel for many to many different places and Ms Horton has taken hours off my plate. I could not do my job without her. As for personal she always books me within my price range at really nice places I never doubt I will be pleased.

When you go on vacation sometimes the planning is the worst part, read this review, check this price, measure that distance. We did that on or first cruise and it was so much easier to have someone else do it the next go around AND get you a better deal than the first cruise. I had lots of questions and Tara was very patient and super responsive, so responsive that I even missed her email back to me thinking she may reach me the next day or so instead of less than an hour later. It was great to know she was there to fully help. She always made great recommendations . For me, vacation means less worry, more fun, and memorable, and that's how I prefer my planning experience. That is what Tara provides. And she even checked on me post vacation to ma :) e sure my vacation hangover wasn't too bad.

We just returned from a fabulous two week honeymoon vacation to Italy. it would not have been nearly as good if it weren’t for Tara’s help. I’d never used a travel agent before as I really didn’t understand their role, thought I had to pay extra for it, and figured I can do it myself.<br/>Tara was truly amazing and was there to help us from start to finish. Aside from booking all flights, hotels, transportation, excursions/tours, she checked in with us while we were there to see if we needed anything, communicated with the hotel of any details, and updated us on flight changes on our way home. <br/><br/>Her knowledge and experience saved us hours of research. She gave us details and tips that were of tremendous value. <br/><br/>I truly cannot say enough about her help, guidance and services in making our trip seamless and easy. <br/><br/>If you plan to travel take my word and use Tara, you will enjoy your time and experience so much more. Her support was truly invaluable in making our honeymoon perfect!
Audrey DiLella - Italy ~ Europe
Tara Horton is an excellent a travel agent! She is available to you every step of the way. I have traveled on several cruises and she was very helpful recommending hotels and tours. She worked diligently on finding us the best flights. I would recommend Tara to any of my family and friends!

Jeff - Hawaii ~ USA
Repeat customer here! Tara did such a great job planning our group trip to the Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska (2017), I had her plan my 50th birthday getaway to Italy (2018). Both experiences were spectacular and she made them truly memorable ! From the planning phase to execution, she was always available for guidance. Looking forward to working with her in the future!
Crystal - Italy ~ Europe
It was a pleasure having Tara as my travel agent. She responded to all my questions and concerns no matter the time of day/night. Tara also went the extra mile to find us a group rate so our trip was more affordable which allowed us to participate in extra excursions.<br/><br/>It was an added surprise when we arrived in our cabin and there were chocolate covered strawberries and a kind not "welcome aboard". If that wasn't' enough, she included additional on-board credit so we could use for what ever we wanted.<br/><br/>Tara makes an exceptional travel agent due to her extensive travel portfolio.<br/>You know with confidence that she can tell you what to expect since she has actually gone to that destination and can share her experiences. !
Steve and Carol - Alaska ~ USA
Tara is absolutely AMAZING!! She responded to my questions immediately! We are traveling with a large group and she was organized, and made it stress free for me, basically took care of everything! She's the best!!

We had an amazing experience working with Tara. She took care of everything and included even the most minor details. Tara was very thorough and explained different options for our excursions and provided us with a very helpful website that explained every process in detail. She recommended great excursions and booked everything for us. You will be extremely happy with Tara‘s services and we highly recommend her.
Mike - Europe
Tara responded so quickly to all of our request. She helped us book our flight, tours, and hotels. Even last minute train and plane additions were handled promptly. She took care of canceling a tour for us while we were away when we had no phone service. I felt the cost for everything wasn’t more than what I would have paid without a travel agent so really Tara was a gift!
Loos Fam - Europe
The best ever with a travel agent.

Destination wedding, daughter, in Tulum, Mexico (about 70 mils south of Cancun). I hadn't been on an airplane in decades. I fortunately happened upon Tara and everything was easy thereafter. She booked our flights to Cancun AIrport and back, me daughter and grand daughter. Our flights went off without a hitch. (The in-laws booked themselves and suffered delays so they were late for the wedding rehearsal dinner. Not us though.) Then I wanted travel insurance, mostly for the medical since my health insurance didn't apply out of country. Tara took care of it. High end inexpensive coverage for the 3 of us! Then we need transport from Cancun Airport to Tulum and back. Again, Tara took care of it. There was more. Darn, not enough space. I give Tara a stellar YABBA DABBA DO! Rating.
Gregory - Mexico
She always goes above and beyond to make sure all of our needs are taken care of. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, and we can't wait to schedule another vacation with Tara.

I had a very complex trip to make to japan, Okinawa, back to japan and was unable to come even close to getting it right, with all the connections, plane changes, etc. Turned it over to Tara, and in an hour or two I had it sitting in my computer! Then I had her add a colleague who lives in Dallas. It was a nightmare of tangled spaghetti to me, But a simple breeze to Tara. I have more trips coming up, and she's now my go-to person for planning!
Dr. Squat -
We contacted Tara based on the recommendations of others. We were uncertain as to the areas we wanted to visit on our European trip. Tara was able to give us direction from her own experiences and research. <br/>We have only praise for her help! We had a wonderful trip and when we had one problem, not her fault she responded to our request from Europe with good advice. <br/>We are planning our next overseas trip and will be contacting Tara once again for her expertise.

Katie - Bahamas ~ Caribbean
My experience with Tara was nothing short of a dream come true. I was getting stressed out searching for places on my own about where to go for me and my wife's anniversary. I got Tara's contact information from a friend and decided to give her a call, since I never used a travel agent before. That one phone call changed my views about planning for a vacation. Tara was extremely nice,courteous and showed great patience. Talking to her, we narrowed down a location in Mexico, and she emailed me different resorts she heard that were real nice. She stayed in contact the whole time throughout the process and even before we left, she sent me a very nice text. Everything was taken care of as soon as we touched down. She even arranged transfer pickup from the airport to the resort. Our vacation was simply marvelous. Tara is now my go-to travel agent and I will let everyone know that is looking for a vacation to contact her. She is the best!

Tara Horton of Live to Travel is a wonderful travel consultant. She is very knowledgeable regarding any type of travel method you choose - ocean, river, or land cruise. She also does an amazing job of organizing independent travel wherein every detail from portal to portal is covered. After one trip that has been planned by Tara you will never again go through the arduous task of arranging your own travel. I really love the fact that Tara is conscious of your budget constraints and does not try to up sell your trip. She works very diligently to secure the best available for the money you have to spend. She also contacts her clients when amazing travel deals, such as airfare, are offered. I have never had that experience with any other individual in the travel industry. I highly recommend Tara for all your travel needs!

My family and I have used Tara for many vacation planning sessions/bookings. It's so refreshing to have a travel agent that knows her stuff, but can also find you some of the best deals around. I know with Tara we won't end up in one of those bad hotels/Mr. Obvious commercials.

Tara planned a "trip of a lifetime" to Europe for us. She handled every detail with ease and involved us in the decision making process. Everything she planned for us was exceptional. Her own interest in and love for travel inspires her to learn everything she can about the destinations and about the best hotels and experiences at those destinations. Tara also assisted us with travel during a family emergency. Within a matter of minutes, she made our airline and car rental reservations. She has assisted us on other ocassions as well. There is simply no better person to call upon for your travel arrangements.

Stacy -
Tara is always there when you need her for travel plans. She is a trusted professional who knows her travel. We've enlisted her several times to help us find flights, hotels and great ideas. I highly recommend her, whether you are making a quick trip or a memorable vacation. In addition, on one of our vacations, we had a family emergency and had to get back to Tampa from Puerto Rico. She immediately dropped everything and helped us secure flights to make it home. You can always count on her!
Jennifer -
Tara is a very very efficient, informative and the best travel agent I have ever had. She goes the extra mile to make sure that your trip is fun, well organized and goes smooth.

Jen C. -
We were recommended to Tara Horton from a friend. All I had to do was make one phone call to her with the date and location of where we wanted to go. Tara found us a great price at an all inclusive resort in the Dominican Republic. Our plane tickets, itinerary, transportation vouchers, etc were all emailed to me. A five minute phone call was all it took to get our dream vacation planned. Forget browsing all the .com sites for two hours trying to find the best deal. Although I did this as well, and couldn't find a rate that even came close to the one that Tara was able to provide us. Travel made easy. This is how I will book all vacations from now on.
Bender -
Tara is a wonderful travel agent to work with. She really cares about finding and booking the right vacation for your family. We have used Tara several times now to book cruises for our family. She has taken the time to find the right cruise at the price that we can afford. She takes great care on making sure that all of the details are taken care of so that we can enjoy a wonderful vacation. Thank you Tara for all of your wonderful help.
Sheryl -
Tara was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. She made me feel comfortable. I feel as though she took the time to get me the best possible rate for my trip.
Miss Kali -
Tara is extremely knowledgable and experienced. She anticipated our questions before we even asked (and believe me, we had a lot of questions!) and was very quick to respond with accurate information. She arranged upgrades and other amenities for us that were complete surprises and made every aspect of our vacation better! Without her insider knowledge and all her hard work, this was not a vacation we even would have dreamed we could ever afford.
Without a doubt, we will ALWAYS work with Tara for all of our travel needs!! We are already eagerly anticipating our next trip!!
Jen and Pat -
Tara helped me coordinate my plans to join my family for a cruise, after the other family members had made their reservations. Due to Tara's efforts I was able to get a cabin next to family members, even though I book after they did. It was my first cruise and I had some questions and a few minor concerns, however, with Tara's assistance everything was seamless. I plan on utilizing Tara's services in the future and would not hesitate to recommend her to others. Great Trip!!
P.C. -
We had a complex family reunion. People coming from many different cities. We had various budget ranges.
Tara arranged an affordable vacation rental that worked for all. She sold us very affordable insurance from CSA TRAVEL PROTECTION that covered accidental property damages and saved us $1000s. We never thought of it.
Maddie M -
What a great travel agent that knows her stuff. I would definitely recommend for to anyone looking to have a wonderful vacation.
