An unforgettable last minute getaway
Reviewed By Alison Tripp - East Freetown, Ma | Traveled to Mexico
Kathleen was awesome to work with! In April, 2016, right after her office burned to ashes it was our 25th wedding anniversary and we wanted to celebrate at an all inclusive in Mexico. We reached out to Travel Leaders and were very fortunate and happy to be connected with Kathleen. She listened to what we wanted our getaway to include and she was very thorough in fulfilling our dream trip. Even during this devastating time in her life. It was an unforgettable adventure! Everything was perfect thanks to Kathleen! In fact, we're working with her on putting together our next vacation! This time with our family.
Kathleen Scallon responded
"Thank you. I cant believe I was still able to work at that time as the fire deeply effected me. I'm thrilled I was able to accommodate you and make your dream come true. I so love what I do, making certain my clients get everything they dream of is truly my passion. It's so funny, my husband says I get high helping clients achieve their ultimate vacation as I work around the clock to assure everything is as perfect as can be. I take your vacation very personally. Your VACATION is OUR Business""
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Our Romantic overdue vacation
Reviewed By Maggie and Charlie Cotali Dipip - Bristol, R.I. | Traveled to Aruba ~ Netherlands Antilles ~ Caribbean
Romantic, relaxing, fun and exciting, I have traveled all over the world as a child, although it has been 10 years since my last vacation. WOW has the world of travel changed! I feel blessed Kathleen was recommended to us, she took the extra time to help us with our passports, find the perfect resort, exactly what we imagined. Most important, she eased our anxiety navigating the airports in this crazy world. I will recommend Kate to all our friends. She's honest, funny and really cares for her clients. We felt very confident. We even called her 3 times while in Aruba and Kathleen helped us with each concern. The world needs more people like this young lady.
Kathleen Scallon responded
"Thank you for being wonderful, easy going, thoughtful clients . It has been my pleasure working with you both and look forward to many more fun adventurers, -Kathleen."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Unexpected Wild Adventure
Reviewed By Anita and Phillip Miranda - Westport,Ma 02790 | Traveled to Costa Rica ~ Central America
Traveling with 3 boys and a daughter my husband and I was a bit nervous where to take our family for vacation. My daughter wanted horseback riding and the boys wanted hiking and ATVs. I had no idea where to take this bunch. After days of researching I gave up and a friend told me about Somerset Tours & Travel. Wow, one visit and we were on our way to some great adventures in Costa Rica. The kids are still talking about it. I am happy the Agency is back. I wish them the very best and plan on visiting very soon
Kathleen Scallon responded

An Anniversary we wont ever forget
Reviewed By Adam and Susan Andrade - Rehoboth, Ma | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
During the move to her new office, Kathleen still took the time to make sure our flights were on time and my wife and I sat together. The resort she recommended was exactly as she said, We stood at the Hyatt Zilara in Jamaica. Kathleen had a private driver waiting for us to take us to the resort. She is so thoughtful, kind and does more than she should.
Kathleen Scallon responded
"Dear Adam and Susan, It was my pleasure to help plan your Anniversary. I believe we all should cherish our time as life goes by way to fast. The Hyatt Zilara is a wonderful resort, I knew you would love it. Clients like you both make my job very special, Thank you- Kathleen Scallon"
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
