About Us

Hallberg Travel & Tours has been creating tasteful travel experiences for customers since 2006.  Are you a person who loves to travel and selects destinations or types of trips that you know will allow you to enjoy good food, wine, and spirits during your travel? For many of us, sampling the local flavors is a very big part of the journey and those sensory elements of taste and smell help us learn about new places and solidify the experience in memory for years to come.

A Tasteful Travel Experience, as I define it, consists of three things:

  1. A trip that is intentionally planned to enable the traveler to enjoy wonderful food, wine and spirits during their journey.
  2. Not only is the trip is enhanced by the special tastes, but the traveler gains understanding of a place and its people.
  3. The trip is relatively stress free with details worked out in advance so the travelers can make the best use of their time.

Learn more about me on the Meet the Expert page.  I hope you will contact me soon to discuss your dream travel experience in a tasteful destination.  Whether your travel style is independent, on a guided or hosted tour, on a cruise or if you’re traveling with a group, I will help you create your Tasteful Travel Experience!

Destinations

It’s my belief that to be an expert, one must sell what they know and what they are passionate about. While there are thousands of interesting places in the world to travel to, I’ve decided to focus my business on Europe, North America and the Caribbean. I’m especially equipped to create tasteful travel experiences and customized itineraries… Continue reading Destinations

Travelers and Tasters

Everyone eats food but not everyone enjoys eating.  I once knew someone who would choose to take a pill every day for nourishment because eating takes too much time.  I guess everyone has a right to their own opinion, but my goodness, how depressing is that?!  Food, especially good food, makes me happy.  Wine with the food is… Continue reading Travelers and Tasters

Life from a Suitcase

Just because you love traveling doesn’t mean you love living out of a suitcase. I don’t, and I think you would agree that this is one of the few unpleasant experiences of any long adventure. (I’m talking about land tours and adventures taking you to multiple destinations and various hotel rooms, here, not cruises.) The… Continue reading Life from a Suitcase

Friday Morning Sculpting

See the full gallery on Posterous   Most of the sculptors are busy carving their creations from the top down.  Five of the artists have told me that this is their full time job.  Some say that sand sculpting competitions are part of what their business does in addition to creating exhibits for fairs or… Continue reading Friday Morning Sculpting

Over-fed and Nearly Dead

Since this is the week of the annual “World’s Largest Cruise Night”, I want to continue on the cruise theme.  Nearly 80% of North Americans have never been on a cruise before and my guess is that many in that group would tend to agree with the notion that cruising is only for “the over-fed… Continue reading Over-fed and Nearly Dead

Dueling Cruise Ships

This weekend I had a chance to tour the Carnival Liberty in Miami and Celebrity’s Solstice in Ft. Lauderdale.  (One of the best parts of my job…)  With so many cruise ships afloat these days, you might think they’re all alike, but it’s just not true.  Although these two both sail a 7 day Caribbean itinerary,… Continue reading Dueling Cruise Ships
