About Me

Venice
Venice

Europe offers an incredible blend of history, culture, and unforgettable experiences, and I love helping my clients explore it in a way that feels both seamless and personal.

Having traveled throughout Italy and beyond, I design multi-destination European itineraries that balance iconic highlights with meaningful, local experiences. Whether it’s wandering through Florence, enjoying coastal views in Cinque Terre, or taking in the energy of Rome, each journey is thoughtfully tailored to your interests and pace.

From accommodations and transportation to curated experiences, I take care of the details so you can simply enjoy the journey. My goal is to create a European travel experience that feels effortless, immersive, and uniquely yours.

Northern Lights +
Reviewed By Lovetotravel - Chicago, IL | Traveled to Iceland | Europe
Took another trip arranged by Cynthia this year and it was amazing, just like the last one. Great hiking, beautiful waterfalls and Northern Lights that were extraordinary plus a very nice, centrally located hotel and lots of good suggestions for things to do. I will definitely work with her on future trips!

Amazing Italian Adventure!
Reviewed By MGEich77 - Plainfield, IL | Traveled to Italy | Europe
My husband and I recently spent 7 days (+2 travel days)in Italy. We started in Milan to visit our son. After a couple of days in Milan, we traveled to Cinque Terra for a day and then onto Rome for 3 days. Thanks to Cynthia, we had great accommodations in all 3 cities, smooth transfers between destinations and tickets to all of the sites; Duomo, Last Supper, Pantheon, Colosseum, St Peter’s Basilica, Sistine Chapel as well as a day trip to Switzerland and a trip on the Red Train. Cynthia’s vast knowledge of Italy not only made this happen, but made it happen smoothly and efficiently! We would highly recommend Cynthia for your Italian vacation. We know that we will use her services again!
Cynthia Wallbruch responded
"Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a pleasure helping you design this special journey, from time with your son in Milan to experiencing Cinque Terre, Rome, and even Switzerland along the way. I’m so glad everything came together smoothly and that you were able to enjoy each moment with ease. I truly appreciate your trust and look forward to planning your next adventure!"

Perfect Intro to Italy
Reviewed By natecot5171 - Austin | Traveled to Italy | Europe
Cynthia was absolutely incredible! My fiance and I were planning our first trip to Italy (and Europe), and barely knew where to start. We had Florence, Venice, and Rome picked out as destinations, but no idea what to do when we got there. Cynthia not only helped us pick some great excursions and experiences, but gave us great advice on what to expect once we were in Italy and some pointers on how to maximize our time there. She was very open to hear our preferences, even when they differed from our own, and gave us great advice regardless. From the larger reservations to the pointers on where to find the best gelato, Cynthia made our trip extremely special.
Cynthia Wallbruch responded
"Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a joy helping you bring your first trip to Italy to life, and I’m thrilled the experiences, guidance, and little local tips made your journey so special. I truly appreciate your trust and loved being part of such a meaningful adventure."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

    A Return to Florence in the Spring

    Florence is one of those destinations that reveals something new each time you visit. On a spring trip with my husband and daughter, we returned to the city with a slightly different approach, blending iconic highlights with experiences we had missed the first time. Visiting in March meant cooler temperatures and a more relaxed pace, whic...
