About Me

Paris at golden hour, timeless, elegant, iconic
Paris at golden hour, timeless, elegant, iconic

France is a destination that rewards thoughtful planning. While Paris often draws travelers in, the true depth of France reveals itself through its regions, rhythms, and everyday details of how you move between places, where you stay, and how much time you allow to truly experience each stop. I design France itineraries that feel immersive rather than rushed, blending iconic highlights with regional character and refined pacing.

Each journey is tailored to the traveler’s interests, whether that means culture and history, food and wine, scenic countryside, or a combination of all three. From grand cities to quiet villages, France offers endless variety, and my role is to curate an itinerary that flows naturally and feels intentional from start to finish.

I often pair Paris with other regions to create balance, perhaps the Loire Valley for chateaux and gardens, Provence for markets and landscapes, Normandy for history and coastline, or the French Riviera for elegance and coastal charm. For travelers seeking a slower pace, I focus on fewer locations with longer stays, allowing time to explore without constant packing and transit. For those eager to see more, I carefully design routes that make sense geographically and logistically.

Accommodation selection is a key part of my planning for France. Where you stay shapes how you experience a destination, and I prioritize well-located hotels, boutique properties, and countryside stays that enhance comfort and access. I also consider seasonality, crowd patterns, and local events to ensure each trip aligns with the traveler’s expectations.

Transportation and logistics are especially important in France, whether traveling by train, private transfer, or car. I plan each itinerary with efficiency and ease in mind, helping travelers avoid unnecessary backtracking and long travel days. The goal is a journey that feels seamless and enjoyable, not overwhelming. France is ideal for travelers who appreciate detail, balance, and authenticity. Whether it’s a first visit or a return journey to explore deeper, I curate France experiences that feel personal, well-paced, and thoughtfully designed so travelers can focus on enjoying the destination rather than managing the logistics.

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.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

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!

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!

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.
