About Me

NY City in Full View—Empire State Perspective
NY City in Full View—Empire State Perspective

New York City is one of my absolute favorite destinations. Over the years, I’ve returned again and again—each visit revealing something new and unforgettable. From crisp fall mornings in Central Park to private sailing along the Hudson River, I’ve experienced NYC in a way that blends iconic moments with personal discovery—and I love helping my clients do the same. I’ve stayed across from Central Park near Fifth Avenue, wandered Times Square at night, dined at legendary spots like Patsy’s, and enjoyed the quiet magic of a carriage ride under the autumn leaves in Central Park. I’ve seen the Statue of Liberty from the deck of a private sailboat and walked the holiday-lit streets near Rockefeller Center. These experiences allow me to design trips that feel deeply curated, personal, and memorable. Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning for more, I’ll help you craft an itinerary that includes both the must-sees and the lesser-known gems. Some of my favorite highlights include:

Landmarks & Views: Top of the Rock, Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State BuildingCulture & Arts: Broadway shows, The Met, MoMA, 9/11 Memorial & Museum

Culinary Favorites: Patsy’s Italian, Chelsea Market, Katz’s Deli, Eataly, Levain Bakery

Neighborhood Gems: SoHo, Greenwich Village, DUMBO, Williamsburg

Family Fun: Central Park Zoo, FAO Schwarz, American Museum of Natural History

Whether you're drawn to street food or skyline views, history or holiday sparkle, New York delivers at every turn. I’m here to help you experience it all—through a lens that’s personal, curated, and full of magic.

San Pedro, Belize Birthday trip
Reviewed By Montana traveler - Great Falls, Mt. | Traveled to Belize City | Belize | Central America
What a wonderful experience! From the Container Condo to Mayan Ruins to Swimming with the sharks, everything was amazing! I loved the layed back vibe on the island. The locals were very friendly. My birthday dinner was so delicious. I don't think I had a bad meal. Even the Octopus was delicious!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Absolutely the best trip of our lives!
Reviewed By Nextchapterrecon - Williston, North Dakota | Traveled to Belize | Central America
From beginning to end, Tammy was exceptional. She made herself present and available every step of the way. She took her time to ensure every single one of our wants and needs were met, and she made sure we had everything required for our trip... tickets, itinerary, passports, IDs, you name it. When a glitch came up (thanks to a ticketing agency error), Tammy didn’t hesitate. She jumped into action immediately, communicating with all parties involved and resolving the issue before it could become a headache. Because of her, our trip was truly seamless, an actual vacation, not a stress-filled scramble. She stayed available throughout our entire journey, which was incredibly comforting, especially while exploring a new country. If I could give her 10 stars, I absolutely would. To say that we loved her services, and our entire experience feels like an understatement. Tammy made our trip to Belize amazing and unforgettable!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Wonderful trip to a beautiful city
Reviewed By NewYorker - New York City, New York | Traveled to San Francisco | California | USA
Tammy was very helpful to me in planning and executing my trip to San Francisco for me and my granddaughter. She suggested and arranged for the best tours for us. Everything went smoothly, from the pick-up at the airport to the hotel pick-up back to the airport again - and everything in between! Tammy was very attentive, and checked in during our trip to see if everything was proceeding smoothly. I would recommend Tammy if you are planning a trip and want the assistance of a travel agent.

Tammy’s customization and personal touch was more than I could ask for
Reviewed By Ilovetravel2025! - Nashville | Traveled to Tokyo | Japan | East and Southeast Asia
Tammy did a phenomenal job customizing my trip to Tokyo! From the moment I reached out, she listened to what I wanted and built an itinerary that perfectly fit my style. She recommended the Odakyu Hotel Century Southern Tower in Shibuya, which is the ideal mix of comfort, quality, and location—close to everything I want to see and do. What stood out most was how personalized everything felt. Tammy took the time to tailor the details so I wouldn’t just be checking boxes, but truly experiencing the best of Tokyo in a way that matches my interests. She made the whole process seamless and stress-free, and I feel so confident about this trip knowing she’s behind it. I can’t recommend Tammy enough—if you want a travel advisor who genuinely cares and creates a trip designed just for you, she’s the one!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Great Time in San Diego
Reviewed By AkimotoShiro9900 - Kita-ku | Tokyo | Japan | Traveled to La Jolla | California | USA
Ms. Costello helped us out a lot on planning our trip to La Jolla. I am vegan, and it can be very hard to find restaurants and attractions that are vegan friendly. Wherever we went, we had a wonderful time, we never had to stress over where to go, and we always had great food available just a short walk away. We are excited to plan our next trip with Ms. Costello!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
