Cliff Steinhauer
Customized Global Travel Specialist
Vernazza, Italy, one of the Cinque Terre
My knowledge and experience is your power when it comes to planning your customized vacation. My professional resume is full of customer service, project management and organizational operations which all translate perfectly to the travel industry. There are many details, destinations and dots to connect and I excel at being responsive, thorough and precise. I have also:
- Utilized the services of many local travel vendors, so I'm familiar with what they offer and with the ones that can provide you with the best bang for your buck
- Met with dozens of suppliers to learn more information about the best products and services the industry has to offer
- Attended many informational trainings and presentations on destinations, tour, cruise, air and hotel to name a few
But the most important "trick" for creating the perfect travel itinerary to any destination is matching the right excursions, tours and accommodations to your interests and traveling style. To do that well, it's important that I spend some time getting to know you, so that I can make the best recommendations for your trip. For instance, if I discover that you love animals, I might suggest that you take part in an equestrian tour aboard the Iceland's famous Icelandic horses.
I attend the industry's most important events to keep up-to-date on trends affecting travelers all over the world. I am constantly learning and changing as the world of travel changes. If you haven't traveled in the last 5 years, there's a good chance a change will affect your trip and I'll be riiht there to guide you.
Some of my favorite destinations include Portugal, Iceland, Myanmar, Costa Rica, and my home state of Florida. I grew up in Orlando, and we often visited the theme parks. Plus, my first job was at Universal's Islands of Adventure, so I am especially familiar with this theme park.
And while many people believe that a travel agent's main job is booking and crafting itineraries, it is far from the only service I will provide you. I will also be there to help you out if something should go awry on your trip. For instance, I once had a client leave his passport in a town during a multi-city Germany driving trip. In order to retrieve it, he needed to backtrack, which meant canceling several non-refundable hotels, which I was able to do for him.
So, if you're ready to book your next vacation, please contact me. It would be my pleasure to design a seamless and interesting itinerary for your next big adventure!
