Kara's reviews
We loved working with Kara (Tales of Adventure) for our Japan trip. She was thoughtful, organized and offered so many pieces of info as we planned everything. Our trip was better because of the work Kara did in the months and weeks leading up to the trip. We can’t wait to work with her again!

Kara made our trip seamless from initial resort recommendations to planning the day to day activities. She handled all the inquiries we had when planning and put together a perfect itinerary for our family. Even with the last minute changes we made Kara was able to promptly get back to us with the necessary updates. It's a no brainer for us to book all our travel with Tales Of Adventure!

Kara is so good at what she does. We couldn’t have done this trip without her. Her attention to detail and overall knowledge of the industry made our trip truly exceptional! The tern app made everything flow. Would not travel on a trip like this without it. Kara, thank you again for all you did! Truly a life changing experience.
