Super Easy, Smooth Trip In Scotland and Ireland
Reviewed By Carly - Durango, Colorado | Traveled to Scotland ~ Europe
Cindi was fantastic. The process was very easy, she was very knowledgeable, and everything was quite smooth. I’ve planned many trips myself, never used an agent, and never really thought I would, but this experience was so smooth. We stayed in places we wouldn’t have found and saw amazing sites we had never heard of. We told Cindi what we were into and she delivered.

Girls trip beach getaway

I have never used a travel agent before and I didn’t realize what I was missing! My girlfriend and I told cindi what we were looking for in a trip and she gave us trip options and we landed on a virgin voyages cruise. I never thought I’d be a “cruiser” but she had been on this same cruise before so she reassured me it was everything we were looking for. Good food/wine (I’m a sommelier and I was so impressed with the wine lists), beach time and fun. She planned literally everything and it was so easy. I’m still dreaming about the restaurants on the boat and I’ve never laughed harder. It was literally a perfect trip for us!

Using Taylored Tours was a game-changer!
Reviewed By Chris - Durango, CO | Traveled to Rome ~ Italy ~ Europe
In November, I impulsively purchased two tickets to Rome for a week in mid-December. The airfare was great, I had flight credits, and Rome would not be hot or crowded. Now I faced the dread of planning our activities. There was so much see and we wanted downtime too. I spent a few hours on Trip Advisor – ugh… Cindi had been referred to me by two friends. I had nothing to lose by contacting her. Until I received the referrals, I did not realize that travel agents were still a “thing.” In less than 24 hours, Cindi provided us with a perfectly planned itinerary that was “Taylored” to our requests. She is a true professional. It was a dream come true. The short vacation to Rome was without question our most enjoyable travel experience to date. We will be using Taylored Tours again soon!

Cindi was amazing to work with. She is responsive, happy to pivot when new ideas came up, and came up with perfect recommendations to fit our budget. Every single things (planes, trains and automobiles included) went smoothly - even with a rail and taxi strike going!!! The app was super helpful, and I’m already looking at booking another trip next year with friends! I truly cannot recommend this enough - the time I would have spent researching, stressing and either making no plans or bad plans if I were left to my own devices would have led to a very different trip.

I have never worked with a travel agent before but everything about this trip has me sold to do it again. The whole process was so smooth, from the moment we booked the trip. I felt prepared to travel internationally during a pandemic (which is no small feat!) to a destination I had never been to before. Everything was thought out and planned for, which relieved a lot of stress. The trip itself was a perfect match for what I was hoping: good food, the opportunity to rest, and simply ‘turn off’ for a few days. THANK YOU for all the ways you made that possible. I am so grateful.

Australia Vacation Success!
“This trip was amazing and it would not have been possible without Cindi's help. I take great pride in planning our trips on my own, but over a year ago when we began to plan this dream I felt I was in over my head. Cindi had planned an amazing trip for friends. So we scheduled a consult. She asked about our travel styles and hotel preferences. We wanted the trip catered to our daughter. We gave her a budget, and she came back with this dream itinerary. From start to finish and all along the way she’s been available to us and assisted with the information we needed to obtain Visas and to travel with our daughter, who has a different last name than us and started this trip as a minor. She provided a convenient app so we had all of our confirmation numbers and details at our fingertips. If you’re thinking of traveling but have been nervous about the planning or unsure of how to decide what to see and do, schedule a consultation. I cannot recommend her services enough!”

Dream Vacation in Italy
I recently went to Italy, which I’ve been a dream of mine for years. I used Taylored Tours to plan my trip, and I’m so thankful that I did. I had previously tried planning my own trip and quickly got overwhelmed with all the information and quit. Cindi took care of everything for me, all I had to do was get on the plane and go. There was something planned for us to do and see every day. It was such a remarkable trip and I met new friends, as well. I’m looking forward to using Taylored Tours again later this year for my next adventure. If you love to travel, but just don’t like all the work and effort that goes into planning it, I recommend contacting Taylored Tours.
