"Working with Cynthia was a blessing. She listened to all of our hopes, and made everyone of them happen. She was responsive and had wonderful ideas, many I would have never thought of. Our tours were the best we'd ever had, and enjoyed having one on one time with each of the guides. Traveling by train was a breeze thru Italy, Switzerland and France. I would do it all again. Thank you Cynthia! I look forward to my next adventure with you."

"My husband has always wanted to see the northern lights (bucket list). We found just the trip. We worked with Cynthia Caudillo our travel agent. From the start the trip was first class. Every detail of our trip was planned and as result it went smoothly. Cynthia was incredibly helpful, respondent, and gave us exactly what we wanted. Each excursion was planned from slow and easy (reindeer sledding) to a day filled with fun filled activities (Night snowmobiling, ice fishing, 3 hr. Day snowmobiling, husky sledding, day spa, ice castle, Polarman visit, and Northern lights). We expressed to Cynthia that we didn’t want to be a number in a crowded group so she planned out detailed private activities and taxis for every excursion. Detailed to the last min., when we received a text letting us know our cab to the airport had arrived. Given Cynthias experience it allowed to enjoy our trip without added stress.
Looking forward to working with Cynthia again!"

"My wife and I wanted to visit Egypt our whole life, so when we decided to work with Cynthia, our wish list of things we wanted to see and do was about as long as the Nile. Cynthia's experience with Egyptian tour operators and personal knowledge from previous travels was very useful. Given our travel window and requests, I appreciate the honest feedback about what we could and couldn't see, which helped set expectations.
We had a great experience working with Cynthia. She was organized, responsive, and very professional."

I am committed to sharing my passion for world travel, international cuisine, and luxury adventures with like-minded travel enthusiasts. I bring a wealth of experience from living overseas as a military spouse and as being a well-trained travel advisor accredited in both land-based and cruise experiences with major family institutions such as Adventures by Disney, luxury river cruise experiences like Ama Waterways and Viking River Cruises, as well as luxury all-inclusive resorts like Sandals and Beaches.
I lived abroad in Europe for several years as well as a couple years in the Middle East, which allow me to provide a unique perspective of well-known vacation landmarks as well as lesser known, exceptional experiences. As a bonus for family travel, I've done most of these destinations with our little one-it can be challenging, but it can be done! You can see reviews from my clients here.
