"Cindi was amazing helping us navigate planning our trip To Italy and a Mediterranean cruise. She was very patient helping us navigate the complexities of traveling During Covid and insuring our trip to prevent a major loss in the event any of us get Covid before or on our trip. She is very knowledgeable and was great to work with and help us save money and prevented us from making costly mistakes. You can plan a trip yourself and make unnecessary and costly mistakes or use Cindi and have a great trip with few problems. I always call Cindi first before making big travel arrangements. I recommend you do the same."
"Today, we wanted to express our gratitude and appreciation for the wonderful work done by our travel agent Cindi Sanden and her team at Awaken Travels (awakentravels.com) for our recent European vacation. Every detail was meticulously planned and communicated to us via email or text in a timely manner, which was so important to us. This was evident both before and during the trip. From transportation, lodging, restaurants and tours, Cindi has a wide network of resources and each experience was terrific.
And the trip? Wow! So many wonderful moments we could share. We spent two weeks traveling through parts of France and Italy experiencing everything from culture and history to shopping, dining and some r&r too. The hotels she recommended all exceeded our expectations and the staff at each couldn't have been more accommodating.
For any of your travel needs, don't hesitate to contact Cindi and Awaken Travels. We were so impressed with everything they did for us and can't wait for her to help plan our next big vacay!"
