My wife and I recently used Gallagher Travel to help us plan our honeymoon. We wanted to use a…read morelocal travel agent as we do not get to travel much and wanted to work with an expert to make sure that no details were missed. Judy Gallagher was just the expert we needed! Judy was able to give us recommendations based on the type of vacation we were looking for and also stay within our budget. She took care of EVERYTHING, and even added her own suggestions to make our trip extra special. As it turns out, our Punta Cana resort had not disclosed when booking the trip that there was construction happening outside of our room. I had requested a room change from our hotel concierge, but was told that no other rooms were available. The next morning I called Judy and explained the situation. She answered the phone immediately and by that same afternoon we had our upgraded room -- one of the best in the resort! This was EXACTLY why we trusted our special trip to Gallagher Travel Shoppe and I am happy to give Gallagher a very strong recommendation!! Thank you Judy!

Dianna is an excellent travel agent. She is diligent in asking a lot of questions in order to…read moreunderstand exactly what is in your bucket list. She then creates a perfect itinerary! We have not travelled until recently and were a bit anxious. Her added tips on airport hotels and parking made everything so so easy.

The Chrysler van we rec'd as vehicle w/driver needed maintenance, def a wobble coming from tire…read morearea but that was not the worst of it. This was just our 2nd ride, both on holidays in 2024. We thought the driver was very friendly but almost distractedly so. I was anxious for a couple reasons but called the family-driven business' owner's son now being groomed to take over (a very pleasant young man)nto give feedback-not to hurt his driver as we believed she tried her best but we didnt feel safe. We asked that he simply have a good talk w/her which as a supv, can be difficult. In our Christmas ride we exp'd: inability to focus on/off, talking over volume of GPS, GPS cell phone go dead due to deadzone in rural Eastern neighborhoods, i had specifically requested at nite to get on main routes which were illuminated instead (not focusing) we were driven through very dark, countrified towns w/slick spots on the road which i foresaw w/common sense a problem since Winter temp had dropped. As we entered a major route, the van began to slide on road, we grabbed onto what we could as she yelled out, "yahoo!" At that point i shot a look at my spouse & remained polite but getting home i said, "never again!" My spouse agreed. We werent going to call back or review here. I felt however if i had a business this would be important to know. Our concern is how extensively are drivers vetted & Chrysler vans maintained before extreme seasons. I mustve said 3x to owner's son..please chk the vans' tires, brakes, etc. The main thing however was sharing this driver's performance. I dont wish to harm the comp rep, simply hammer home what i shared w/him. Also, a 20% tip is auto calculated, we did not request it back or a discount either. However, we most likely wont use this company again. Our exp is hopefully rare. Id ask for info on Kivery license for drivers & business CT insurance ID.

The…read moreshort ride across the Connecticut River to Chester was enjoyable and a relative bargain at $6 per vehicle including all passengers. For a better view that includes the castle, I suggest taking the ferry in the opposite direction (e.g. Chester to Hadlyme).

I was given their number by a close friend who has booked many vacations through them. Last year I decided to send them and email and I received one back from Mary who would be our travel agent. There is not enough room on this page to describe how lovely, professional, and efficient that Mary is. She took all my worries and concerns away when it came to traveling. Last August my husband and I booked our wedding/honeymoon through her and every single step of the way Mary was there with the answers and the solutions. I can honest say that all I had to do was describe the type of vacation we wanted and price range and Mary did all the leg work. We barely had to lift a finger and we received the most spectacular vacation. I had quite the list of things I wanted out of my vacation and Mary made sure we got every single one. I never had to wait days or even hours for her to get back to me. Mary made sure that she communicated all the details of the trip verbally and always sent a follow up email so we could reference back to them. This was extremely helpful considering my husband is away often and I'm usually running around like crazy trying to get everything planned and together. Mary made everything so easy. We had an incredible wedding and honeymoon filled with so many memories. It was such a success that we just booked again with her to go away for our anniversary! I can not wait and once again Mary made it a pain free process. I don't know how she does it!! If you want someone who cares about your vacation , will get you the best pricing possible and is stellar at their job....you NEED to call Mt Carmel Travel and book with Mary. Thank you for all the hard work and all the fantastic memories we will get to have through these vacations, we are forever grateful.

I am shocked after reading this review of T&A Tours and its owners. I have traveled on many trips…read morewith T&A and have always been extremely pleased with everything about the tours. I have dealt with the owners, as they are the only ones who take reservations (not an agent) and they have always been quite pleasant and accommodating. Actually, I was on a trip with them once, and some people had missed the bus going to the location of the tour and Tim, one of the owners, actually got in his car and drove those people to the rest area where we stopped for coffee. Anytime that I have been on a bus that they had for the trip, the tour director and/or the driver mentioned where we were and not once did I encounter anyone not getting off the bus because they did not know where they were. Whether one is in the front, middle or rear of the bus, people have always known when they reach their stop. In conclusion, I have never dealt with a better tour company than T&A Tours. The owners have ALWAYS been polite, pleasant and fully responsive to people's needs.
