Meet Cyndi Smith
Luxury River Cruise & Europe Travel Advisor
I help busy professionals and families connect through seamless, luxury travel experiences, whether sailing Europe's rivers, exploring the world by boutique ship, or embarking on unforgettable family trips in France and Italy.
Many of my clients travel as a couple or they bring the entire family and travel as a group. It could be for a milestone birthday or celebration, or the retirement trip, that they will always remember. Either way, I am here to make it feel easy.
Why I Founded Tailor Made Travel Studio
After two decades navigating the corporate world, I realized that what I valued most wasn't just efficiency, it was meaningful experiences. Travel had always been my way of slowing down, reconnecting with loved ones, and learning more about the awesome world around us.
Today, I bring that same philosophy to every itinerary I design. I founded Tailor Made Travel Studio to offer busy families the gift of effortless travel: enriching adventures curated with care, and a little bit of luxury!
Whether you're dreaming of a Danube River Christmas Market cruise, a family expedition to the Galápagos, or an intimate small-group adventure with friends, I'll be your guide and travel advocate, making the journey as memorable as the destination!
Favorite Destinations: It's impossible to pick just one! Some of my top favorites include the exotic landscapes of Thailand, the tropical paradise of Hawaii, and the breathtaking views of New Zealand.
Travel Style: Active and adventurous! I love to explore and stay active, though my family's style is a bit more relaxed, so we find the perfect balance between adventure and leisure - with a little bit of luxury!
When did I catch the travel bug? Growing up, my family didn’t travel much. Once I became an adult, I made it my mission to see the world. From backpacking across Europe to saving all my PTO days for international adventures, I've always sought to maximize every opportunity to experience new places.
What is my favorite thing about traveling? The food! Trying local and regional cuisine is one of the best parts of traveling. There's nothing like tasting a country's culture through its food. I'm a certified level one Sommelier, so you'll often find a winery visit or cooking class on one of my itineraries!
Make everlasting memories
I believe creating lifelong memories is priceless. Our family-owned business prides itself on personal touches and building meaningful relationships with our clients. I understand that time is precious, and I aim to make every moment of your trip truly special.
