About Me

Cafés, Castles, and Cobblestones is my flagship Central Europe departure at Travel Savvy — a hosted small-group journey through seven of the most romantic cities in Europe, with every transfer, hotel, restaurant reservation, and museum ticket already taken care of. As a Travel Leaders advisor specializing in luxury Central Europe travel, I have spent years curating this exact route, and I travel with every departure personally.If you are searching for a Central Europe luxury tour, a hosted small-group trip through Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland, or a Vienna-to-Kraków cultural journey with all transportation and meals included, this is your trip.The route, city by city:Salzburg, baroque domes set against the Alps. Vienna, Habsburg grandeur with a coffeehouse on every corner. Bratislava, the Danube's quietly romantic little capital. Ceský Krumlov, a storybook of red rooftops with a river wrapped around the Old Town. Karlovy Vary, pastel facades and steaming colonnades in a forested Czech valley. Prague, the most photogenic city in Europe. Kraków, where Old World Poland is alive in every cobblestone square.OK, here is what makes me the right advisor for this journey. The hotels we use, the cafés we sit down in, and the local guides who walk us through Vienna and Prague are not pulled from a catalog. I have spent more than a decade cultivating those relationships across Central Europe personally. That supplier-level access — the kind that opens doors a search engine never will — is what separates a memorable trip from a forgettable one.I also host this departure personally. I will meet you at the welcome reception, brief the group on the days ahead, and travel with you through every city. When something needs to be solved, I am there. When a door needs to be opened, I open it.What is included: all transportation between the seven cities, every breakfast, lunch, and dinner, every hotel night, and every guided tour, museum ticket, and dinner reservation. The only thing on your to-do list is show up.We depart June 8, and a handful of spots remain.If you are considering Central Europe — whether on this Cafés, Castles, and Cobblestones departure, or on a custom luxury Central Europe itinerary built around your own dates and interests — I'd love to talk.

Excellent Customer Service
Reviewed By Bonnie - Mastic Beach, New York | Traveled to Switzerland ~ Europe
Stoddard is a wonderful travel agent who provides outstanding customer service!

I initially contacted Stoddard via email. He reached out to me that very same day via phone and email. I spoke with him at length that afternoon and explained that we want to go on a 10-12 day trip to Switzerland. Before I went to bed that evening, he sent over a full itinerary which included flights, hotels, some meals, and recommendations for how to spend our time. All of this came in under our budget. Everything that Stoddard picked was fabulous, but since we had some extra money we added an extra night and made one or two upgrades. Stoddard was patient, friendly, and responsive throughout all of our interactions, and he always gave his honest opinion when we asked him for his input. It's evident that he knows Switzerland very well!! Our trip is now officially booked and we could not be more excited!

I highly recommend using Stoddard to plan your next vacation. He will not disappoint!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Trip of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Colinradich - Ventura, CA | Traveled to Europe
Stoddard was a fantastic representative that provided us with a once in a life time trip that we will remember for the rest of our lives. His attention to detail and communication were impeccable, and he did everything he could to ensure we had the most amazing experience ever. I can't recommend his services enough and I refer him to friends and family all of the time. I know they share my feelings as well, based on their experiences working with Stoddard. I can't recommend him enough.

Honeymoon to Thailand
Reviewed By mike-and-emilia - San Diego | Traveled to Thailand ~ East and Southeast Asia
First time getting away in many years, newlyweds on our post-honeymoon vacation somewhere we knew nothing about, and Stoddard immediately got a great trip together, along with all the experience he had living there a few years. Never used an agent before, not to mention a specialist like Stoddard. Talked me through the options, send example, settled on a 14 day trip, and it was awesome... Thanks Stoddard !
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
