It was our very first cruise she made the process so easy and guided us through what we needed to do. She was always a phone call or text away from answering any concerns we had.

Outstanding!! As first time "cruisers" and to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary, Rhonda took all the anxiety out of our trip plans. She worked with us step by step by providing options, suggestions, and pricing . She even followed up after booking the trip with promo savings available to us.

20th Anniversary Celebration Planning
Reviewed By Rick W. - Broomfield, CO | Traveled to Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Rhonda is clearly our "go to" person for all our travel needs. She's extremely professional and responsive to every request we've had for several years now. This has been especially helpful recently, as we carefully have scheduled our travels during the Covid-19 crisis. In short, there is no one my wife and I would trust more for our travel-related needs and planning than Rhonda.

I've known Rhonda for over ten years, and was delighted when she became a travel agent. Now that my husband is retired we've worked with her for two cruises, the first was to Cuba and upcoming is the River Danube.

Greek Isles and More!
The astonishing achievements of an ancient civilization take center stage. Shopping, beaches, food and wine, and much more complete the experience. The unrivalled Acropolis of Athens and the whitewashed charm of the Greek Isles may bring you to Greece. The local olive oil, ouzo, music, dance and outdoor adventure will bring you back. We enjoyed Santorini pre-cruise, and then headed to Athens, Crete and Corfu before heading to Montenegro and Croatia. We went to a beautiful evening concert on a small island off of Dubrovnik and this was included with the cost of our trip! Finally Venice was a great place to stay for an extra 2 nights. We experience the history, culture, and cuisine first hand and even hopped on a gondola for a romantic ride through the canals. We highly recommend using Rhonda Macier Lathen with Culinary Latitudes for your next experience to Greece and Europe. She took care of all the details and we felt relaxed and prepared for our adventure abroad.
