    Tara Louise Roberts, who began her career in London, has a passion for crafting unforgettable journeys that blend adventure, cultural immersion, and personal enrichment.

    Tara's love for exploration began early, nurtured by an adventurous family with trips spanning from skiing in the French Alps as a toddler, celebrating her eighth birthday sunset dolphin spotting on a private boat in the Maldives, to scaling the Empire State Building in New York as a teen.

    "Another standout experience was a backpacking adventure in Sri Lanka with friends. We covered everything from vibrant cities to serene beaches, thrilling safaris in Minneriya National Park with over 200 elephants, and I even spotted my first blue whale surfacing in Trincomalee. These moments deepened my appreciation for our incredible wildlife," says Tara.

    With a degree in marine biology and PADI Advanced Open Water and Freediving Certificates under her belt, Tara specialises in underwater experiences. "Living abroad in Madagascar, diving daily for marine conservation, has also enriched my perspective. Whether you're into snorkelling, diving, or exploring via liveaboards in any form, I can recommend fantastic dive sites and even courses to enhance your holiday experience." she adds.

    And then there is Greece. “I can’t get enough. I've travelled to over 20 of the Greek islands, making me a great advisor to chat with for expertise here. I think there is nothing quite like being surrounded by olive trees, eating delicacies like stifado and moussaka in the local square, and sipping wine with your family after a day of finding hidden beaches along the coast. That's a dream day, in my opinion!" she says.

    As a self-professed foodie and nightlife aficionado, Tara also delights in curating vibrant travel experiences, making her a go-to advisor for youth travellers, friends, and couples seeking culinary delights and lively evenings abroad. But Tara's expertise extends beyond leisurely pursuits. She excels in designing bespoke journeys, such as a three-month odyssey through North and South America, covering Guatemala, Colombia, Peru, and Argentina for a client taking a well-deserved sabbatical, and a family road trip through California culminating in a Grand Canyon helicopter ride.

    Driven by her belief that travel transforms, Tara infuses each itinerary with local authenticity and "wow" moments. Her dedication to understanding the motivations behind her clients' travels fosters trust and collaboration, earning her a reputation for exceeding expectations.

    Whether you're yearning for underwater adventures, wildlife encounters, or cultural explorations, Tara is waiting to plan your one-of-a-kind adventure.

    Get to know me

    What is the most amazing experience you have created for a client?

    My clients went on a champagne and wine-tasting tour of all the greats like Veuve, staying in a chateau in the heart of the Champagne region in Reims, France.

    What is your number one travel tip?

    Always pack a silky sleep mask, ear buds, and a face mask for your flight to help you feel more rejuvenated and to get as much sleep as possible.

    What are your favourite destinations and why?

    I love travelling around Europe, and if you have the means, it's amazing to visit two or more countries at a time to make the most of the long trip over. Whether it be Greek-island hopping followed by a week sailing in Turkey and seeing the ancient ruins of Ephesus or hot air ballooning in Cappadocia, to driving along the Fairy Tale Route in Germany and staying at cute little towns then visiting Austria to live out your Sound of Music moments, I am here to help make your adventure memorable and one-of-a-kind. 

    How do you go above and beyond for your clients?

    I like to provide "wow" moments in every itinerary, and really find out the purpose behind the trip to better understand the needs of my clients.
