Making Memories Together in Rome Italy
Europe offers extraordinary depth — from iconic cities to intimate countryside villages — and I specialize in designing journeys that thoughtfully combine land exploration with river cruising for a seamless and immersive experience.
Whether planning extended stays in Italy or Greece, multi-country rail-connected itineraries, or integrating a Danube or Rhine river cruise with curated time on land, I focus on pacing, logistics, and cultural depth. Each itinerary is intentionally structured to balance exploration and comfort while minimizing the complexity that can come with multi-destination travel.
River cruising provides access to historic cities and scenic regions with ease, but pairing it with strategic pre- or post-cruise land arrangements allows travelers to experience Europe more fully. I coordinate accommodations, transportation, transfers, and curated experiences so every component works together cohesively.
The result is a European journey that feels organized, immersive, and confidently executed from arrival to departure.

Cyndee Knows Her Stuff and Is Always There
Reviewed By Russ - Maui, HI | Traveled to Israel ~ Middle East
For many many years I arranged all our own travel plans. One day though, on a Facebook site, Cyndee responded to someone who had posted. I liked what she said and how she said it. So, I decided to see if I would like to work with a travel agent. Cyndee booked a cruise we just took last month and has us on three other upcoming cruises. She’s already gotten us extras that I would not have known about. Cyndee is very communicative and quick to respond. Plus, she’s just a happy person!

"Mahalo Russ and Viola!
You continue to be such a joy to connect with and I love your recent travel photos. Knowing you have traveled so extensively and trust me with your plans is a huge blessing. I want to create many more opportunities for the two of you to experience this world and to bring you joy too!

Literal Travel Superhero!
Reviewed By Melanie - Orlando, Orange, Florida, USA | Traveled to Colorado Springs ~ Colorado ~ USA
I have had to reschedule my trip to Jamaica two times! First I got covid the day before my trip and second I ended up in the hospital the night before my trip. Literally crazy!!! But Cyndee was able to help me out both times so that I didn't waste my money. She got me travel credit so now I'm going to Colorado instead 🤣Cyndee has got your back no matter what happens.
Cyndee Vanderford responded
"I'm thrilled you will be able to travel to Colorado for your sisters' wedding. Just a heads up: I created a group to Jamaica in November and I think third time will be a charm for you this time!
See you there!

Cannot Recommend Send Me Cyndee Enough!!!
Reviewed By Alex - Orlando, Orange, Florida, USA | Traveled to Jamaica ~ Caribbean
Cyndee will absolutely slay as your travel agent. I have personally seen her take on the burden of all her clients unexpected travel woes like fricken Iron(wo)man. She works tirelessly to ensure her clients KNOW that she has their back when away from home. Cannot recommend enough 11/10??
Cyndee Vanderford responded
"You are a ROCK STAR yourself! I know it was hard having to reschedule your travel twice and it's a joy to know you will finally be going soon. ? Your next adventure awaits you and it will be incredible too!
