A Disney Trip made easy and stress-free!
Reviewed By Dan - Milwaukee, WI | Traveled to Orlando ~ Florida ~ USA
Tom was incredibly organized, professional, and easy to work with. He helped our family create a wonderful trip to Disney World and Madeira Beach. I highly recommend working with him when planning your next trip.
Tom Demeter responded
"Thanks Dan! I'm glad you and your family had a great trip to Florida."

Alaska Cruise
Reviewed By Traveling girl - Milwaukee, WI | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Tom was a great help in planning our trip. He recommended a number of different options and shore excursions for us to choose from. Some were not offered directly by the cruise line, but they were very good and easy to connect with on shore. He recommended Holland America; they were a good line because the ship went into Glacier Bay National Park and the park rangers came on board for lectures. Holland America was good in all respects; we had a great time on the ship itself.
Two weeks before our trip, Tom sent us a check list of about 20 items that we should consider or take care of before we left; it was very helpful. All the reservations we made through him were in place in Alaska when we arrived; we had no issues or problems.
Tom Demeter responded
"Thank you! It was a pleasure working with you for your trip to Alaska and I'm glad I was able to help. Let me know when you're planning your next trip!"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Tom Removes the Stress From Vacation Planning!
Reviewed By Derek - Phoenix, AZ | Traveled to Riviera Maya ~ Quintana Roo ~ Mexico
Tom was extremely easy to work and throughout the entire process he was very professional, thorough, and thoughtful. We booked our first ever trip to Cancun through Tom, and he did a great job of offering suggestions based on what was important to us. He sent over very detailed but digestible options and broke down what each resort/area excelled at and what to expect. In addition, he offered great suggestions of excursions, food, and sight-seeing that fit our personal preferences. He completely removed the stress from vacation planning, so we could just focus on enjoying our trip. I will be booking my next vacations through Tom, and would strongly recommend his services to anyone booking their next vacation!
Tom Demeter responded
"Thanks Derek! I'm glad you had such a good experience in Mexico. Feel free to reach out whenever you're planning your next trip. "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Date night at Disneyland
Reviewed By Tim - Milwaukee, WI | Traveled to California ~ USA
Tom provided excellent service from the very first germ of an idea I had for this trip until I was home and unpacking the memories. I'd never stayed at Disney before and Tom was able to help me make the best resort choice for us! Everything worked out perfectly and if your trip needs to be perfect (and you'd rather spend your trip having fun than stressing out to make that happen yourself) call Tom!
Tom Demeter responded
"Thank you for the positive review, Tim! I'm glad that you had such a good experience working with my for your vacation at Disneyland."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Fun trip in the Big Apple!
Reviewed By Meggy - Milwaukee, WI | Traveled to New York City ~ New York ~ USA
Tom did a wonderful job planning and executing our trip to New York City. Researching where to stay and what to do is always a little stressful, especially when there are so many options like in NYC. Tom took the stress out of planning a trip. He was organized and gave us great hotel choices. He even found us a unique food tour! Tom also saved us money by booking flights at the "just right" time. Throughout the process, he made sure we were having a good time and everything was running smoothly! I will for sure book all my trips with Tropic Arrow in the future.
Tom Demeter responded
"Thanks Meggy! It's great to hear that you enjoyed everything on your trip to New York. "
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
