    Cindy at HIATUS was such a pleasure to work with for our honeymoon. She made everything so easy and seamless it was almost scary! We will definitely be using HIATUS again for our next international trip.

    Hiatus booked a trip for me from Seattle to NYC. I wanted to use a NY travel agent, and Cindy Goldberger was courteous, responsive to my particular needs after a recent surgery, and offered great hotel recommendations. Between my flight, the hotel, and airport transportation, I could rest easy that not only was it taken care of, but that it was really really great experience. I highly recommend using her. Completely trustworthy!

    Cindy planned for us the most spectacular, seamless honeymoon to Italy we could possibly have dreamed of! From the perfect hotel selections (not to mention the luxurious upgrades and treats at each place) to the fun and well-paced activities and ability to move from place to place without worry, it was truly an experience of a lifetime. It is hard to choose a favorite place among the ones we visited (Lake Como, Tuscany, Capri, and Rome) - each was uniquely reflective of the local culture and "terroir" and offered different cuisine, activities, and flavor. Cindy encouraged us to try hotels and destinations that we would not otherwise have chosen ourselves but that met our specific travel preferences perfectly and made sure that our days were filled with an ideal mixture of relaxation and adventure. We will definitely work with her again!

    Cindy did an amazing job putting our honeymoon to Hawaii together! She was super responsive and helpful through the whole process, including while we were on our trip. She also knew everything about the places we wanted to stay and was able to get us all kinds of upgrades and perks at the hotels we picked. We couldn't have done it without her and would recommend Cindy and HIATUS to anyone wanting to plan a dream honeymoon or other vacation!

    My wife and I booked/planned our wedding last minute and we were unable to put much focus on our honeymoon. Lucky for us Cindy was available and took on that responsibility! On short notice, Cindy was able to plan a fantastic trip for us to Argentina, where we were spoiled with the best accommodations. Our itinerary was romantic, fun, and allowed us to create memories that we will have a for a lifetime. My wife and I didn't have to think or worry once the entire trip because Cindy had everything perfectly planned. We couldn't be more thankful, thanks Cindy!

    Cindy and Hiatus helped us plan our dream honeymoon to Italy! It sounds cliche, but for a once in a lifetime event (fingers crossed!), we wanted it to go off without a hitch. At every step of the planning process, and as we traveled from New York to Venice to Florence to Tuscany to Rome, Cindy met and exceeded our expectations. Neither of us had consulted a travel agent before, and we both agreed overwhelmingly that it was money well spent, and quite reasonable at that. Everyone has had travel nightmares, whether in transit, in atrocious accommodations, with planned activities, or at tourist trap restaurants. Cindy helped us avoid these pitfalls, and planned little surprises along the way that made us so grateful to be in good hands. We had a truly unforgettable honeymoon, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this consummate professional to anyone planning a trip that is even slightly beyond their comfort zone. You will not regret it. Thanks for everything!

    Cindy is terrific!!!

    I could probably write 10 paragraphs on how much my wife and I would recommend her, but lets keep it concise.

    The first time we met, we were lucky enough to live close by, we spent about 90 minutes together. We were not set on a destination for our honeymoon, but had ideas of what we wanted and did not want. Cindy asked great questions and definitely helped us narrow down what the best options were. She really listened and keyed in on things we were saying.

    She offered us up a few great itineraries in different places. We chose the one she laid out for us in Belize and had an incredible honeymoon. It couldn't have been better. The places she recommended were EXACTLY what we wanted. During the one minor issue we had Cindy was immediately responsive and helped us get it sorted out ASAP.

    We've definitely found a travel agent for life!

    I have always planned my trips around the world, so I was a little hesitant to work with a travel agent. Cindy Goldberger exceeded our expectations with her organization of our honeymoon trip. Needless to say, we had a lot on our plate for planning a wedding, so I was happy that Cindy could handle that for us. Cindy worked diligently and had good communication with us to deliver an exceptional 2 weeks in Ecuador and the Galapagos. We look forward to working with her again! Cheers Cindy!

    Cindy has been the travel agent my husband and I have used to plan all of our international travel since we have been married including our honeymoon. She has successfully planned four international trips for us including the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, The United Arab Emirates and most recently South Africa. I personally love the option Cindy provides us in paying for the trip in installments and the peace of mind she provides in handling all the logistics surrounding the trip.

    My husband and I found inexpensive RT flights to S. Africa and booked only the flight on our own. We contacted Cindy to coordinate all other aspects of our travel. We advised Cindy that we wanted to visit Cape Town and also do an excursion in Krueger National Park and she took it from there. She sent us all vouchers, travel tags and flight/hotel information in a very organized package a few weeks before our scheduled departure. There was a delay with our flight from the U.S. to S. Africa and we were concerned we would miss our inter Africa connecting flight. We told Cindy our dilemma before taking off and she had a representative waiting for us at our gate upon landing in Johannesburg. Our representative was able to expedite us thru customs and onto our connecting flight. Had Cindy not coordinated the representative we would have missed our connecting flight without a doubt.

    Our Cape Town hotel was amazing and in the perfect location with restaurants, nightlife and entertainment right outside our door. Our Safari lodge and game drives were 5 star and our inter Africa flights were comfortable and timely. Cindy allows us to enjoy our vacation to its fullest capacity because she takes the worrying, guessing and planning that comes along with traveling across the world away from us. I will continue to book all international trips using Hiatus, ask for Cindy she's the BEST!

    Cindy helped arrange my vacation to Vienna and Prague. I'd utilized her services on a previous trip and went back to her again this time. As usual, all of the arrangements she made were perfect and everything went very smoothly on the trip. Cindy is very helpful, professional, and responsive. The trip couldn't have gone any better and I really appreciate all she did to make the planning and booking so easy for me.

    We worked with Cindy from HIATUS to plan our honeymoon to New Zealand. We cannot imagine having done this while also planning a wedding! Cindy was incredible -- first listening and asking the right questions to narrow down the options, and patiently iterating with us as we honed in on a location. From then, Cindy worked with her HIATUS network to put together an incredible itinerary and remained very flexible to tweak certain elements and gave us a variety of options to suit our preferences. During the actual honeymoon, HIATUS also proved vital as some of our plans were thwarted due to the weather, at which point HIATUS was instrumental in coordinating other options and getting refunds for existing reservations. I cannot imagine having planned my honeymoon without HIATUS and fully intend to use them going forward for future vacations as well!

    Hiatus helped us to plan our honeymoon to New Zealand in January 2015. We were referred to Cindy through a friend of ours and we were quickly impressed by the responsiveness and professionalism.

    We filled out a checklist and from there in a matter of days we had a full itinerary that we were able to tweak to our liking. Having not been within 10,000 miles of New Zealand we had no idea what to expect, but having traveled a lot for work I had certain preferences which were honored no problem at all. We had a few places we wanted to go, but Hiatus filled in the rest with must-see's, must-do's, and must-stay's.

    Every place we stayed at and everything we did was first class all the way. The trip was well within our budget and we had plenty of pocket money to try all the food and additional activities we discovered while we were there.

    After your first interaction with Cindy it will be clear that she wants to make sure you have a wonderful trip whether it is a honeymoon, romantic getaway, or a simple escape.

    Cindy Goldberger at Hiatus Travel helped my husband and I plan our honeymoon at the Le Royal Monceau in Paris. Cindy has helped us on several occasions plan our vacations and she has an impeccable attention to detail and really knows how to listen to what you want, and to exceed those expectations. As a gay couple it is important that we stay in LGBT friendly businesses and Cindy is very knowledgeable about making recommendations of properties and locations that are welcoming to the LGBT community. Le Royal Monceau is a classy, romantic, and whimsical experience with the best breakfast/brunch in Paris and beyond.

    Cindy helped us plan the most wonderful honeymoon of our lives! When we first met Cindy, she was so caring and attentive and really took the time to get to know us and our honeymoon needs. She truly went above and beyond to make everything so fabulous! In the end, we had a spectatular 10 day trip to Belize, one that we will never forget! We can't wait to work with her again!

    Cindy at HIATUS was fantastic and helped us plan a phenomenal honeymoon in Oregon! She was very responsive to our requests in the lead-up to the trip and even helped us set up a few last minute reservations for excursions while we were on our honeymoon. We couldn't have planned the trip without her!

    Cindy was a pleasure to work with! My wife and I had a general idea of where we wanted to go (Italy - Rome / Amalfi / Puglia) and what we wanted to do (30-40% running around / 60-70% relaxing) and Cindy was able to fill in the gaps with suggestions that were on point. She was also incredibly helpful when the airline decided to misplace one of our bags for 3 days...

    I will be working with Cindy again in the very near future.

    Cindy did a fantastic job planning our honeymoon in Spain and Portugal. We had never been to either country and were so busy with the wedding planning that we did not have time to put in the effort to plan a great trip. Cindy meet with us and took down all the things we liked to do as well as our budget. She sent us three different proposals for the trip and we picked the things we liked and places we wanted to go. Everything was arranged perfectly and the itinerary they provide as well as suggestions of things to do during down time was perfect. Logistics were all taken care of and we never had to worry about how to move from place to place.

    Cindy was very cost efficient for the services she provided. We were traveling from Switzerland to Italy and she took care of all the means of travel. She was incredibly helpful in helping us figure out the where to start end end on our trip, as well as following up with our lost luggage.
    Though there was some miscommunications over budget we were very happy with her services. We could not have planned our wedding and honeymoon without her.
