About Me

Immersive Travel Experiences
Immersive Travel Experiences

Welcome to Taylored Tours, a travel agency in Durango, Colorado. I’m Cindi Taylor, a travel and wine enthusiast with a passion to help clients relax and take the stress out of planning their dream vacations. My mission is to help you have incredible immersive travel experiences. 

I started the Taylored Tours travel agency because I LOVE helping others plan a vacation they will remember for years. Ever been down the overwhelming rabbit hole of researching a vacation? I strive to make clients’ vacation planning easy so they can save time, sit back and relax and leave the details to me. Along with an expertly planned vacation, Taylored Tours will advocate for clients should any issues arise during their trip.

My goal is to help you be comfortable while moving out of your comfort zones - by encouraging you to learn and grow by trying new things when you travel. When you plan your travel with us, Taylored Tours provides options for immersive tours and activities in your destination so you can do just this. I pride myself in being very thorough, extremely detailed, and I really listen to what my clients want. I took a pledge and I stand behind it 100%. My agency has agreed to the Ethical Travel Agent standards of practice. When you work with me, you may rest assured you are working with someone who will treat your vacation with the highest standards of care.

Whether you prefer group travel, a private driver, train travel, self-driving, or an active vacation such as hiking or biking, my goal is to deepen your connection with EUROPEAN CULTURE, offering insider perspectives to shape exclusive experiences that enrich your journey.

I am a RIVER CRUISE Specialist. I enjoy combining clients' love of travel with appreciation of the food and wine of the region. European River Cruises pair these perfectly! Whether you have a seasoned appreciation for fine wine, or simply indulge in a sip here and there, this is a wonderful way to uncork the traditions of the local culture and learn about the region you’re visiting. European River Cruises transport you to the best of worlds - fascinating history, art and culture, stunning landscapes, and fine wine and food. I'll match the perfect river cruise to your travel wish list.

I am an IRELAND Specialist.  I love everything about Ireland: the food, the scenery, the history, but most of all...the friendly people. I’d love to help you experience this amazing country. I plan travel to Ireland for groups, couples, or solo travelers on coach tours, hiring private chauffeurs, or creating self-drive vacations, and I also take groups to Ireland myself. However you decide to travel to Ireland, you'll be welcomed with that legendary Irish charm, regaled with stories and persuaded that the only way to do this place justice would be to plan a return visit.

ITALY holds a special place in my heart as well. If you desire to explore iconic sites in Rome, relax on the Amalfi Coast, discover art in Florence or learn traditional Italian cooking in Tuscany, I can “taylor” your journey as per your interests. I recently led a group trip called "Walk, Wine & Dine Through Tuscany", an immensely enjoyable and immersive experience with cultural classes and a variety of food and wine tours. Our group enjoyed our stay at an agricultural estate that dated back to the 12th century.

I specialize in planning LUXURY OCEAN CRUISES and YACHT VACATIONS. Working with Taylored Tours brings several benefits that elevate your luxurious vacation experience to a whole new level. With my deep-seated relationships with top travel partners, you can depend on truly personalized and exceptional service. My meticulous attention to detail paired with my extensive expertise not only in planning, but also in understanding the intricacies of luxury travel, ensure your cruise or yacht vacation exceeds your expectations. In addition, my strong interests in food, wine, and culture provide an insider's perspective to your journey, heightening the immersive and exquisite experiences you'll encounter.

As your GROUP TRAVEL expert, I can offer genuine custom-crafted travel experiences designed just for your group. My travel knowledge and highest quality planning means that every journey is ”taylored ” for your group. Whether you’re a personal or professional coach, winery or restaurant owner, or a bachelor or bachelorette group, we’ll design an itinerary that speaks to your shared passions for a themed experience that uniquely appeals to your group.

Trusting me with your plans means embarking on a seamless vacation where every moment is “taylored” to your desires. Travel is not just about the destination; it's about the journey, and I ensure your journey is as remarkable as the sights you'll see.

If you are ready to see the world and immerse yourself in new experiences and cultures, contact me and let’s plan your next travel adventure!

Testimonial

"My husband and I had an amazing vacation to Italy with Taylored Tours! The trip was concentrated in the Tuscany countryside and the Cinque Terre area along the coast. Cindi is the most organized and thorough person we know. She had every detail covered, and the trip went seamlessly. She had a fun outing or activity planned for every day, but we also had some free time. We saw some amazing sights, and the trip was very relaxing. We also met some wonderful people on the trip. We highly recommend Cindi and are taking another vacation through Taylored Tours this year!" Geri W.

Client Testimonials

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.
