Meet Tamara

My name is Tamara Natoli, and I’m a travel advisor at Kate’s World Travel. If you’re here, it means you are in the early stages of planning a vacation that must be really important to you. As a retired Spanish teacher with extensive travel experience, I bring a unique blend of cultural insight and practical travel knowledge to my role as a travel advisor. My journeys have taken me through the vibrant markets of Guatemala, the historic sites of the British Isles, the charming villages of Spain, and beyond.

I am passionate about helping others experience the world in an organized and enriching way. My background in education means I am detail-oriented and skilled at planning seamless itineraries tailored to individual needs. Whether you’re looking to explore the hidden gems of Latin America, the varied landscapes throughout the US, or the timeless beauty of Europe, I am here to guide you every step of the way.

Joining Kate’s World Travel has allowed me the opportunity to do what I love- get to know people as individuals in order to plan memorable travel. By working one-on-one with clients, I am able to offer options that will bring to life once-in-a-lifetime vacations. For me, integrity, honesty, and a commitment to excellence are key, both in my personal life and my business.

I live in New Paltz, New York with my two small dogs. My adult daughters have flown the nest, but when they were younger, we did family trips of all types; cruises, escorted tours, and all inclusive among them. When I was still teaching, I planned trips for students, both with tour companies and without. Now I travel with friends or solo, making sure I know the safest places for women traveling by themselves. The most memorable places I have visited so far are Kauai, Belize, Barcelona, Ireland and Scotland.

Read what our clients say about Tamara

Tamara was an invaluable resource for my trip to Ireland. Her enthusiasm and meticulous attention to detail were truly impressive. I had already mapped out a basic itinerary, but Tamara took the time to review it thoroughly, organize it into a clear and easy-to-follow spreadsheet, and even offered suggestions that significantly enhanced my experience. For instance, she noticed that I’d planned to visit a point of interest that was much farther from my accommodation than I realized. Her advice saved me hours of unnecessary driving, which allowed for more time to enjoy sightseeing. Tamara is personable, organized, and highly knowledgeable—I highly recommend her for anyone planning a trip!

My husband and I wished to take a road trip vacation and Ms. Natoli was more than helpful planning it. Once we told her our destination, she not only plotted the road directions but suggested places of interest along the way. She not only made our hotel reservations, but arranged tickets to events and tours that would be on our way. It was beyond helpful and added a sense of adventure to our trip. We would not only recommend, but encourage you to contact Tamara Natoli whenever the need or urge to travel out of town is desired.

I knew that once my husband and I retired, one of our priorities was to travel. I knew exactly who to turn to for help with our first trip, as attempting to research and plan on our own has always been a daunting task. Tamara is not only our dear friend but a well-seasoned traveler with no qualms about the planning process. She is detail-oriented and extremely patient with my husband's and my "drag our feet" approach to any big decision. She was responsive to our questions. The amount of effort in the choices she prepared for us took all of the angst of planning out of our hands.

Our travel advisor, Tamara Natoli of Kate’s World Travel, helped us and traveling companions plan a roadtrip to Asheville, NC to visit the Biltmore Mansion. She arranged comfortable driving times, lodging, things to see near our stops and a restaurant to visit a friend. At our final destination, she arranged our house and grounds tour, the Backstairs tour, and the Chihuly Glass tour. If our visit goes as smoothly as our planning with Tamara we should have a fantastic time.
