Tanya Sharkey

Tanya was wonderful to work with! I was going to NYC to see an exhibit at the Met, and do not love big cities. So Tanya's knowledge of and affection for the city was key to having a great trip. She found me a hotel 2 blocks from Central Park that worked with my budget, so i was able to retreat there when I wanted some quiet. And the upgraded room meant that when I wanted to just hang out in the room, I had plenty of space to do so. The free breakfast and hotel credits meant I really only paid for dinners, where I could splurge.

She also suggested booking a private car to get me from and to the train station, which was a perfect way to bookend the trip. In addition, she provided suggestions about places to eat and visit. She was proactive and responsive in her communications, which was wonderful. I will definitely work with her again, and would recommend her.

I am so happy to have found Tanya. We were traveling from California with our two teenage grandsons who had never been to NYC. Knowing what young people would want, she suggested the Hotel Edison, and she was spot on. The boys loved being at the heart of Times Square and all its vibe. She secured our reservations at a nice discount and was available to suggest itineraries. She had resources (which we did not need) for pedicab tours, theater tickets, walking tours, and airport pickup. She always responded in a timely manner to our questions before our trip. She was attentive upon our arrival with a nice welcome note and birthday greeting with cookies for our youngest grandson. I highly recommend her services.

Tanya was fantastic and I would highly recommend using her services! We started planning our NYC Spring Break trip back in November/December, and she took the time to get to know my family, our budget, and our musts. She also had some great suggestions for things to do and places to eat, that we would not have known about otherwise. The itinerary she built for us was perfect and took every member of my family into consideration -- it was also easy to follow and "fool proof." What I appreciated the most was that she was always available for questions and checked in regularly!

Tanya is amazing! Our travel was just following a period of unrest in Mexico and Tanya did the leg work to get feedback on real conditions in the area. Looking forward to working with her again soon on my next trip!

Tanya was a huge help my for sister’s and my most recent trip to New York City! We’ve been to the city many many times, but we were looking for new places and things to do. Great suggestion to stay at The Frederick Hotel in Tribeca:). The location was perfect for us, as was the hotel. It has old world charm with updated rooms and amenities, as well as a great staff… And the perks included at the Triumph brand of hotels are outstanding: Free neighborhood walking tours, breakfast (so convenient!), Wine Hours, and more. Added value:) The price of the stay was outstanding too. Tanya got us an excellent VIP rate. We felt like VIPs at this small boutique hotel.

Tanya also gave us great suggestions for other restaurants and coffee shops, as well as a Broadway show that we would not even have considered. One of the nicest things was that Tanya kept in touch with us via email every step of the way. Reminding us of upcoming deadlines, checking in with us once we arrived (and returned!), and generally making herself available. I felt as if we had more than an agent/client relationship. I really felt as if we mattered to Tanya...like talking to a fun, knowledgeable friend:) Super helpful!

I look forward to planning more trips with my new friend/travel agent Tanya!!!!
