Europe Expert
Europe is my passion. I love the history, the food, the languages, the colors, the charm. It is a unique continent with such varied cultures, foods, people and history! It fascinates me that the differences between countries are evident as quickly as you cross from one border into another. My greatest pleasure is to curate customized European itineraries for my clients, helping them to experience the very best each country has to offer. I know the right hotels, the right locations, the best tourist spots, the best off-the beaten path spots, and most importantly - the best tours and tour guides. I like to work with locals in each country to provide the best possible experience for my clients. Wine Sommeliers in Tuscany, private car services in the Amalfi Coast and Czech Republic, private guides in each country, and more. My vacation itineraries are never off-the-shelf for my clients. They are rich in meaningful experiences, cultural activities, wonderful food, and amazing scenery. Europe is my passion. Let me help you turn it into your passion, too!

Great trip, Sandy made it very easy and enjoyable
We went on a trip to three different citied in Europe and did multiple tours and activities in each. I can't imagine not having Sandy to help line this up for us. Not only was it all set up, but detailed instructions along the way. This is much needed when you're in a place you've never been.

The Best trip of our lives without a doubt! I hav
Sandy was fabulous to work with. Her attention to detail is above and beyond. We took a two week trip to Europe with our two teenagers. We had very clear instructions getting from place to place down to what we should or should not tip drivers, tour guides etc. The tours she connected us with were top notch. Thanks to Sandy we had a spectacular trip and will have great memories. I highly recommend Sandy to help you plan your next trip.

Sandy Made All the Difference!
I had not worked with a travel agent before and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! Sandy saved us so much money and time with her expertise. She made it easy for us (children included!). From her initial suggestions which we needed to even get started to her willingness to make changes throughout the planning process to make the perfect itinerary for us, she made it all happen within our budget. She is a wealth of knowledge and we will definitely use her again.

Our trip was saved because of Sandy
Sandy was a miracle worker on helping make our vacation still take place. Our original flight to get to the Dominican Republic was cancelled because of weather and the earliest flight we could take was 3 days later. She worked tirelessly that next day with our airlines, hotel, and transportation to salvage our trip and extend it to make up for the missed days. I highly recommend Sandy as she was a joy to work with during the stressful time of realigning our vacation.

My son and future daughter in law were looking for a destination wedding. Neither have any experience in planning a trip let alone a destination wedding. We were given a recommendation from a friend to ordinary couples travel. Sandy went above and beyond to help them through the process. Everything went perfectly. She responded quickly to any questions we had. Great experience.

Amazing first trip to Europe
Having never been to Europe, I was struggling with where to start with all of our travel plans. I knew where we wanted to go: Paris, London, & Dublin - but was overwhelmed with flight, hotel and excursion options. Sandy made it easy! <br/> She plotted out the perfect itinerary in our allotted time, and she was such a great resource when our perfectly planned vacation looked like it was going to implode because of circumstances completely outside of Sandy's/our control . <br/> She was able to make alterations but still keep the great experience on track. I will definitely work with Sandy again! I have only been back in the US a week and am already figuring out where we will travel next time.

A Perfect Tour of Italy
Sandra is a true professional. Before finding Sandra, I had a hard time finding a travel agent that was willing and able to truly customize a trip that met our family's needs. Sandra is a wonderful communicator and we instantly clicked! She used her many resources to craft an itinerary that was exactly what we wanted for our first family trip to Italy. I can't wait to work with Sandra again and I know we'll be in great hands!

A trip of a lifetime!
Sandy helped us plan a trip to Scotland in October, 2018. We wanted to experience life in the small towns as well as touching the cultural attractions in the larger cities. Sandy booked us into delightful B&B's and throughout the trip she suggested itineraries and special events that certain towns were well known for. Some examples are: "The Enchanted Forest" in Pitlochry, and since I am scottish, she had arranged a tour in the castle that belonged to the same clan! Sandy's attention to detail is unparalleled. Thanks to her, we had a trip we will never forget! We will always rely on Sandy to help us make our dreams a reality.<br/><br/>

Fantastic trip! Could not have done it on my own!
Sandy helped us plan our recent trip to Spain -- from itinerary to tours, restaurants and hotels -- she does it all!! With a full time job and kids in transition i just did not have the time to do all the research. <br/>Super easy to work with, quick to respond and very very flexible. <br/>We had some thoughts about the hotels we wanted to stay in and she nailed down perfect places in each stop we made. I cant imagine how we would have scheduled flights, trains, cars, transfers and hotels on our own. Our trip was flawless and seamless from beginning to end. We felt like royalty with the personal service that we received both from Sandy and on the trip. I can't imagine taking another trip without her !

London was all we hoped for and more! Thanks!
Sandra was very helpful as we planned our first trip overseas to London. She was very patient as we made decisions on where we wanted to stay and what we wanted to do. She found us a wonderful apartment/hotel that was perfect for our needs. It had a wonderful view, located in a nice, quiet residential area, but just about a half-block from the underground, so we were only 20 minutes away from everything. The transportation she found to take us to and from the airport was fantastic. It seemed a bit pricey at first - but it was well worth every pound and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again! Our driver was polite, knowledgeable, and most of all, a lot of fun and helped us get our bearings as we traveled through the city to our hotel.<br/><br/>Most of our trip was "self-guided," and Sandra was very patient and helpful as we planned our activities. I would highly recommend Sandra to anyone looking for a great travel experience!

Sandy is a fantastic travel agent and I highly recommend her services! I can't praise enough her ideas, recommendations, responsiveness, and overall support for our trip to Greece. She responded to all questions and requests promptly. The accommodations Sandy chose were top notch - great locations! Sandy organized everything thoroughly including a detailed schedule, covid testing kits, and transportation needs between airports and hotels. We had a few glitches with flight connections (as the result of weather issues) and Sandy helped resolve them quickly. Thank you, Sandy! It was a pleasure working with you!

We really didn’t want to leave. Fascinating trip.
We wanted to return to South America to visit Patagonia, Iguazu Falls and Inca sites in Peru including Machu Picchu. Sandy worked with several agencies to present us with a twenty day trip to Argentina, Brazil and Peru. This trip included twelve flights totaling over 16,000 miles. Everything went off without any problems. There was always someone there for our transfers to the hotel and the airport. We were pleasantly surprised to find many of our tours were private tours. The hotels were very nice. It was a great experience and we didn’t want to come home. I was able to practice my Spanish with natives!

Trip of a lifetime!!
I know nothing about foreign travel. Sandra took care of everything for my trip to Paris and Nancy, France to visit the country and town of my mother's birth and childhood. Sandra found reasonable rates for the airfare and kept me on the same carrier for ease of travel. She placed me in a small, locally-owned, English-speaking hotel where she and her husband have stayed at several times. She arranged my tickets on the train to Nancy and bus tour to Versailles. She arranged transport to and from the airport to the hotel so I did not have to worry about transportation at either the start or end of my trip. She helped me with luggage requirements, how to get Euros, tipping, and travel around Paris. She arranged travel/medical insurance as I requested -just in case. Everything went fine and there were no problems, but she was available to me if I needed help during my trip. I would highly recommend Sandra's services for any trip - small or large!

5 cities in Italy
I was trying to book a 17 day trip through Italy on my own and was really struggling with things like where to start, where to end and how to book various trains etc. After not finding enough good info online I decided to call an agent out of the blue and was lucky enough to get in touch with Sandy. When I first called she spent about an hour on the phone with me asking all types of questions on what I and my wife liked to do. We eventually created a blue print for our trip then modified it a few times over the next week or two until we finally had everything planned out. <br/><br/>Sandy took care of all train, plane and automobile trips and everything went off without a hitch. She also helped with some experiences and lodging. It ended up being one of our favorite vacations. Some trips are easy to plan on your own and others are not. For those that are not is when using someone like Sandy will make not only the planning but also the vacation that much more enjoyable.

It was such a pleasure getting to know her during this trip. Her care, passion, and genuine warmth were felt in every moment, and it’s clear how deeply she loves what she does. Sandy played a huge role in making our time in Croatia so special, and we’re incredibly grateful for her.

Expert weaver of memory making vacations
Sandy expertly took the scattered thoughts and places we wanted to see and wove them into a Hawaiian vacation. Her knowledge and experience in trip planning is clear in the detailed plans she created for our family of four. Sandy thought of our every need from rental cars to tickets to the timing of flights to make our journey comfortable. My mind is at ease knowing that our Hawaii trip will be filled with first time experiences that we will remember forever. Sandy was easy to talk to. She is confident and professional. I have never sought the services of a travel planning expert but this was such a good experience that I will certainly seek Andaggio Destinations services in the future.

London & Paris Anniversary Trip
“The trip was wonderful from start to finish. The private tour with Amber was perfect for us to get acclimated to a new country and know the tube system. London was a breeze to navigate and all suggestions were helpful. The hotel was a perfect location and having breakfast included was wonderful. Paris was great as well. The small group guided tour was wonderful and personable. The wine tasting we booked was the highlight for sure. Hotel was in a great location, but a little noisy and no AC at points. Everything else was great. Thank you!”

An Adriatic Dream Trip!
I feel so fortunate to have been invited on a yacht trip through Croatia—it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Everything was seamless and so thoughtfully planned, from the stunning yacht itself to the balance of exploring hidden coves, walking the charming coastal towns, and enjoying the most beautiful meals by the water.
What stood out most was how effortless it all felt. Every transfer, every reservation, every little detail was already taken care of, so all I had to do was be present and take it all in. The Adriatic was breathtaking, and each stop felt more special than the last.
This trip was beyond anything I could have imagined, and I know it wouldn’t have been the same without such incredible planning behind the scenes. Truly unforgettable.

Sandy helped us plan two back-to-back tours and gave us a lot of suggestions from packing to an invaluable MyTrip app to keep track of documents/daily agendas, etc all in one click! She booked most of our flights/transfers for us and arranged private transfers from airports and hotel for a short gap between tours as well as a private driver for a day! Sandy kept in touch while on our tours to make sure everything was going smoothly. She also was very helpful in choosing optional excursions. She’s very personable and passionate about her work!!!

We contacted Sandy with a general idea of what we would like to do. 2 friends lived in one city, and the other in a different city. Sandy had suggestions for each of us and helped us plan a tour/tours as well as some time on our own on the Amalfi Coast. She was very organized and detailed, and helpful. The app she gives at the end had all of our specific details which helped a lot. She was responsive and easy to reach, and willing to make suggestions. The hotel and driver she booked for our time on our own were wonderful. Overall, would highly recommend.

Sandra is the best
Sandra assisted in setting up a cruise thru Oceania from Barcelona to Athens. She recommended several tours outside of what Oceania offered and they were wonderful. Private tour to the ancient city of Euphasus, so much better than being in a large group. We spent 2 extra days in Athens after our cruise was over. Incredible experience. Sandra set up the transfers from the port to our hotel and hotel to the airport. We didn't have to worry about a thing. We stayed at the Electra Palace - Athens. Lovely hotel in the center of everything. We could walk every where. Staff was excellent. Roof top restaurant was wonderful. (For dinner and breakfast) You have a spectacular view of the Parthenon! Our favorite tour, of all time, was the Food Tour in Athens. It was just my husband and I, guided through the city by a wonderful guide. We learned so much about the Greek everyday life and customs. Extra bonus: the food was incredible at every stop.

An Amazing Anniversary Trip
Sandy was an incredible travel agent who made planning our out-of-country trip an absolute breeze. From the very beginning, she was always available and quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had, no matter how big or small. Her guidance eased the stress of coordinating such a complex itinerary, and her professionalism and organization gave us peace of mind every step of the way.
What truly set Sandy apart was her firsthand knowledge of many of the destinations we were visiting—she had traveled to several of the places herself, which meant her recommendations were both practical and personalized. She took care of all the logistics, including booking flights and suggesting thoughtful extras that made the trip feel seamless and well-curated. Thanks to Sandy, we were able to focus on enjoying the experience instead of worrying about the details.

Honeymoon Trip to Italy
Our overall experience in working with Sandy was excellent! We found Sandy online when looking for someone to help us plan our honeymoon trip to Italy. We were drawn to Sandy because of her experience and knowledge of Italy, which gave us some peace of mind in traveling to a country we had never been to, helping us navigate a longer and relatively complex trip. Sandy was great in outlining her process and working with us on developing an itinerary that addressed our primary objectives. Once the itinerary was finalized, she found and reserved lodging at each of the locations (first collaborating with us on possibilities), arranged all the necessary transportation within the country and gave us lots of great options for tours. When unexpected events occurred during the trip, she quickly helped us resolve and move forward smoothly. We absolutely loved our hotel room in Sorrento with an ocean view and the hotel in Venice with a roof top terrace. We were surprised and delighted with the a

Ten days in the African bush!
Adventure, exploration, excitement, and fun on a safe, supported, and comfortable journey with great food and terrific guides—including our own travel pro Sandy herself!
She was so helpful in prepping our group and building in some rest by suggesting arrival a day early and that was savvy!
My wife and I are deeply grateful to Sandy for her insights, skills, and help.
Sandy was open to others’ ideas for a few side activities that led to some special moments to walk with elephants or “chat with a cheetah!”
If Sandy planned a trip - I would sign up without even knowing the destination or itinerary because it would be interesting, fun, safe, and so comfortable in every respect.
I can now say that I have witnessed a Jedi Travel-Pro in action!
Thank you Sandy!

Great Paris Trip
Since this was our first trip to Paris, we wanted someone who had first hand knowledge of the city to help guide us with our itinerary and hotel choice. Sandy had extensive experience in Paris, including leading groups herself, so we knew she had the kind of knowledge from which we could benefit. Her hotel recommendation was terrific and she helped us put together our itinerary which wasn't jammed but included several city highlights. Sandy also kept an eye on our trip and made some important adjustments for us as we traveled. We appreciated her help and her good nature. We'll be sure to contract her again for our next trip to Europe!

Greece, Turkey, Costa Rica, Asia upcoming.....Sand
I have traveled with Sandy on her Patricia's women's trip to Greece/Turkey last summer. She managed to coordinate meaningful excursions not offered by the cruise ship that helped our group avoid the crowds and get a more personalized experience at the various ports. She just helped me and my family plan a trip to Costa Rica where all we had to do was book flights and show up with our suitcases, everything was arranged for us. And she is helping me plan a long trip to several countries in Asia and she is putting together an extension in Thailand. I can trust that the hotels she recommends are going to be top notch and I love that she handles all of the small details that I may not have thought of in the first place. I've introduced her to my Mom and she now enjoys traveling with Sandy and Andaggio Travel and I have also referred her to several friends. I highly recommend her and her agency - you won't be disappointed.

An Amazing Experience in Europe!
We had a great time on our trip to Europe. We spent 20 days with 2 destinations each in Italy, Switzerland, Germany & Austria. We traveled by train, bus and car. Sandy helped us with our itinerary, suggesting hotels and experiences, and providing all of the reservations for travel and lodging. We stayed in some wonderful hotels, including one in Austria that was originally built in 1473! The excursions that Sandy suggested were exceptional! We particularly enjoyed the trip up Mt. Pilatus outside of Lucerne. We had a couple of glitches with transportation, but those were our own fault and only served to add to the adventure! :) Overall a wonderful experience!

First Azamara Criuse
There is so much cruise information available that it is very difficult to make good decisions without spending months studying all the options. I finally gave up and went to Sandy McMillen for help. Sandy pointed us in the right direction in our first meeting. Whenever possible, we will cruise Azamara again with her assistance. Unfortunately, this review format would not allow us to give our correct travel destination, which was: Azamara Cruise- Best of the Med. (Aegean Sea, Malta, Italy)

I am never traveling again without Sandra’s expertise and connections. The quality of the companies we were blessed to have take us on our adventures cannot be understated. We did not just get transportation to a location, we received as much information as we needed and the conversations were very comfortable and educational whether a quick to or from train station /airport and hotel or multiple hour day drives to some unbelievable destinations, custom presented by some very knowledgeable and dynamic guides who provide very comfortable and clean transportation.<br/>Sandy also monitored our progress and was able to reschedule an event seamlessly so I had no interruptions . <br/>My hotels exceeded service,comfort and were located perfectly and met the needs of my wife’s limited mobility perfectly , we discussed when planning explaining needs and limitations .Bob<br/>I am thankful to my friend that recommended Sandra and her company and know that she will make a difference in your adventures too.

Great Women's Trip
“Sandy - The trip was a trip of a lifetime. Starting from the hotel in Athens, everything you planned made each city special. I enjoyed the Santorini tour, winery luncheon, the cooking class on the last day. I appreciated the flexibility of the group and opportunity to be included in the dinners or not. I, personally, found all of the tasks manageable but know with the heat and terrain some were difficult for certain members of the group. Turkey was fabulous and our guide was amazing but the confusion amongst the three individual guides in returning our groups to the bus was the only thing in my opinion that went wrong and again, the fault of the three guides communicating and understanding the traffic at their port. I really enjoyed the ship and didn't mind at all the fast pace of the cruise as I like to take it all in when I arrive in a new city and don't need a lot of down time personally. I don't have a bad thing to say

The service quality was truly exceptional
Love working with Sandy and her team. She asked the right questions in order to book the right itinerary. Sandy went above and beyond to get us the great trip. The flight (with special needs access), to the Hotel (all the hotels fit my travel style perfectly) and to the Transportation (they showed up on time, texted me the night before to confirm pickups etc). In addition to that, Sandy checked in w/me via email to make sure that I am enjoying my vacation. The team is extremely knowledgeable and helpful, it is a delight to work with them<br/><br/>

It was great! Everything went very smoothly regarding our trains and hotels. I think our favorite cities were Amsterdam, Bruges, and Berlin, as each of these cities were so different from each other. Everywhere we went was amazing though. Thank you so much for your help in planning this trip!

Scotland adventure
Although we got off to a rough start with canceled and delayed flights on British Air, the trip was wonderful! We finally got our luggage on day 5 , missed the first day of the hike, but we made the best of it. We are happy with the trip . Nothing to do about all the airline mishaps - just had to take it in stride. The part we did plan with you was very good. Got to the Isle of Man, saw family, very nice. <br/>Thanks again for all of your support , Sandy.

Great trip to Austria and Ireland!
Sandy did an amazing job of putting together a trip itinerary that was easy to follow and comprehensive. It was helpful to have the app on my phone to refer to during our trip. She arranged airfare, car rentals, and hotels for our entire trip. We did our own planning for things to do because we were attending a wedding and our schedule was sometimes unpredictable.

In one word...Wonderful! There were 6 of us traveling together coming from 4 different states. She coordinated our flights so we could meet up in London and then fly together to Cairo. She also got us a great price for our airline tickets! We wanted to do an excursion that was not on the agenda, and she quickly got with her contacts and arranged a spectacular camel ride. We had such a great experience with our camel guides. Our trip was fantastic. Friendly and knowledgeable Egyptologists, drivers, security personnel, and river boat personnel. A trip we will remember forever!

Best Vacation Ever!
In sum, the trip Sandy planned for us to Italy and Greece was FANTASTIC! Everything went off without a hitch which is kind of unbelievable these days and the hotels and hotel locations she set up were superb. We would recommend the entire trip with all of the details and tours we did to anyone. Every tour Sandy organized made our visit more enjoyable and educational, every ride showed up on time and made our lives so much easier, every hotel (and the hotel breakfast) she arranged was one I would recommend to anyone and would go back to myself. All of her planning and recommendations made our trip truly one of the best vacations ever!

A bucket-list, well-planned family trip to Italy!
Sandy is very knowledgeable about Italy, and her expertise and enthusiasm made us comfortable with the choices we made. She helped select hotels, tours, transportation, wineries, and restaurants, all of which were excellent. The trip was snag-free, and very memorable, with no problems at all. I have already passed on her contact information to the co-worker.

Amazing trip, 100% would go to Thailand again!
Sandy put our entire trip together more than once! With the ongoing Covid situation Sandy had to navigate through booking and rebooking. All the while keeping us informed and updated with current information. Sandy was incredibly helpful with her emails and text messages, not to mention Zoom calls and home visits to make sure all of our questions and concerns were addressed. I could not have asked for a better person to plan our trip! Sandy has been recommended by me on several occasions as the person to talk to for any travel plans!

Most relaxing vacation from start to finish?
Sandy planned our 30th Anniversary trip for us. We wanted to eliminate some of the stress of planning and focus on celebrating a significant milestone. From the start, Sandy asked all the right questions to get to know our desires for our trip. She thought of all the details that we would potentially have missed. Pick-ups, rental cars, excursions, and amenities were carefully considered. We had the most amazing time, and neither one of us felt as if we missed anything or that the other person was burdened with all the trip management. Truly a blessing to find Sandy. We plan on having Sandy manage all of our upcoming trips!

We made the most amazing memories thanks to Sandy!
Sandy was so knowledgeable and helpful. We have never booked a trip through a travel agent and I will never not book a trip through a travel agent again. We normally spend days researching hotels and areas and put it a ton of time looking for what there is to do. Planning our first European trip with a child was overwhelming to think about and Sandy made the experience so effortless on our part. She made suggestions, we read reviews, researched her suggestions and they were perfect! We had the most amazing vacation and experienced things we normally wouldn't have booked if we were to look on our own and I wouldn't change a single thing.

A fascinating combination of two distinct places
Sandy is such a thoughtful and thorough travel planner, and thinks of everything along the way! We ended up going to Istanbul, Turkey, and then on to Bali, Indonesia...two very different destinations within one trip. She knows the ins and outs of getting where you are going, and then how to have the perfect vacation once you are there. Whether you want a relaxing beach trip, and outdoor adventure, or a fascinating and educational learning experience, she has the experience and expertise to make it all come together.

We reached out to Sandy when researching a trip to Europe and I am SO glad we did! Unfortunately, the Europe trip got postponed (for obvious reasons) but Sandy helped us arrange our honeymoon trip instead. Sandy was so easy to connect with and the expertise and service she provides is invaluable! Her knowledge and enthusiasm for travel is exactly what makes her service so great. She takes the time to understand what is important for us travelling and tailors everything to that. Sandy makes planning the trip part of the fun. We can't wait to continue working with her for all of our adventures in the future.

We love our travel agent Sandy! International travel, under Covid restrictions, can get a bit confusing but, Sandy was there for us, helping us load up required documents, and making sure all loose ends were taken care of. She has traveled this area many times and made great suggestions for restaurants, resorts, markets, etc. This was seriously one of the best trips we've taken. Her knowledge and travel tips allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip to Roatan.<br/>Thank you Sandy!!

Her attention to detail is amazing. We were on a heritage journey and she helped us find and access remote villages and personal places in our ancestry. We were definitely off the beaten path. Whether it was accommodations, tickets, private transportation , timing, superior guides and drivers, Sandy’s planning resulted in total satisfaction.

Adventure is out there, Sandy will help u find it
Simply, Sandy is AMAZING & you need to use her for your next trip. We spent a month traveling all over Italy, Slovenia, & Croatia. Sandy's expertise in the area made the trip better than we could have ever imagined. Initially we were only traveling to Italy but after meeting Sandy she suggested the other 2 countries & I am so glad! Some of our best memories were in a place we didn’t even considering going. I also appreciated her emphasis on safety & being budget friendly, these were two things that were very important for me during our trip. Also, she was super flexible & patient with our changing schedules which made for a very stress-free experience. I had never used a travel agent before, but now I don't know why I wouldn't book one without Sandy's help, she has all the best tips, deals, & is so personable. We wouldn't have had near the experience if we tried to book the trip ourselves! So, if you are considering using her services what are you waiting for, you won't regret it!

Could not have done this without Sandy!
Sandy has helped us plan two trips to Europe, including five countries and eight different cities. Both trips exceeded our expectations. She has obtained both ground and air transportation and booked our hotels (which have all been fabulous and in great parts of the area). She takes the time to learn about what we like/don't like and helps us plan activities in our destinations that are in line with our interests. Most importantly for us, she explains how we navigate our experience in a foreign country where we don't speak the language - such as telling us how to get to the train station, when to avoid taxis that could rip us off, how to avoid lines, where to exchange our currency. Using Sandy has helped us make the most of our two trips to Europe and we are eternally grateful.

Her knowledge of where we wanted to go was extensive and very helpful. She took on as much as we wanted and her selections were perfect. The hotels she booked us at were in great locations. Our trains were scheduled with precision. She partnered with vendors that were amazing and provided great customer service. She took the worry out of a lot of planning. For our next trip, we will for sure call her first.

This trip was planned out every detail.
Sandy took the time to meet with us in person and find out all the small and big details that we were looking forward to on our 25 day Europe trip. Even when we had some minor problems in Rome she was right there helping us navigate them and the even planned a few extra special surprises to make the trip even more special. She didn’t have to help us when we were out there and the trip had already been booked but she did even when it was a 8 hr difference and it was early early morning her time. If you want a stress free trip with a reliable travel agent helping you the entire time then Sandy is the best.

The Flavor of Barcelona
Sandra was so very easy to work with. She helped to book our airfare, apartment and tours. It became very overwhelming in hotel hunting. Never visiting Barcelona, Spain before, I did not what area to look in. Sandra spent time asking about our needs and wants. We were visiting a daughter who is studying in Barcelona. We need more space than a hotel had to offer. Sandra found us a quaint apartment in a beautiful neighborhood that met and exceeded our expectations. We truly got the flavor of how people in Barcelona live. I definitely recommend Sandra with all of your travel needs because of her willingness to help and her expertise.

Extrordinary Service for Ordinary People
Ordinary Travel and I began planning for my adventure before my knee joint replacement surgery. Starting early, this would provide something to look forward to during the physical therapy needed following surgery. Sandy swayed me from my original destination, Florence, Italy, to touring Turkey appealing to my sense of adventure and engaging in new experiences. What a wonderful suggestion that she has brought to reality despite my fumbling attempts to "help". And there were adventures even during the setting up stage, first came a tour cancelled by the operator then a second surgery to replace a shoulder (I do not mind growing old, it is the falling apart that annoys me) delaying the start by a month.
The resources used by Ordinary Couple Travel are impressive, quickly gathering together options and executing the ones chosen. Then quickly adapting to changes all the while with professionalism, courtesy and increasing the depth of our emerging friendship.
Of particular note was Sandy providing "thumbnail" sketches of the places I would be visiting, recommendations for local tours and operators and most useful suggestions on how to deal with trivia such as using local transport (taxis, buses) instead of expensive tour operator arranged transport.
My first experience planning with a professional was impressive, helpful in discovering new venues and delightful in that I will truly enjoy the results of her attending to details that would not even occur to me.
Thank you for this opportunity to let others know that planning a trip with a professional enhances the anticipation of the actual pleasure of the trip itself.

Christmas Markets in Europe
Sandy planned a trip for me to the Christmas Markets in Europe. I traveled as part of an organized group tour, and we visited Munich, Prague, Budapest, Vienna and Salzburg. The markets were beautiful and the tour went off perfectly. It was nice to have someone else in charge of organizing the hotels, the transportation, the guides, and all the details of the trip, so I could just sit back and enjoy the markets.

Tour of Italy
Sandy booked our Italy group tour, saving us quite a bit of money by booking plane tickets and an extra hotel night separately from the tour company. She was a delight to work with, and we recommend her highly!

The best experience I've had booking a cruise
Sandra was absolutely amazing! She very efficiently booked our cruise including our lodging in San Juan days before boarding the Jewel of the Seas. Sandy also arranged shuttle services to the ship and, finally, to the airport for our return trip home. She was very helpful including purchasing two drink packages onboard for myself and my husband before we left home for the trip. I'm failing to mention all of the smaller things she helped me with because there were so many. I'm sure we'll be using her services in the future. I absolutely recommend her to whoever needs a travel agent.

Amazing , Sandy is like American Express, don't leave home with out her!
Sandy went above and beyond for us. I took my mother on a cruise of the baltic. We saw Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia and Latvia. We took this trip in July and the weather was perfect. Every place we turned looked like a post card. I had never used a travel agent before as I feel pretty computer savvy and have usually booked all of my trips myself from travel web sites. After using Sandy, I will never book a large trip with out her. She anticipated every detail of the trip such as transfers and need for Visas in certain areas. She took a long time discovering our needs to make sure we got what we wanted from our trip. Sandy took the time to compile a travel guide for us based on our interested and cruise itinerary. She had did hours of research for us to find the best price and the highest rated excursions. She took all the stress out of the equation. My Mom is a litter older and I wanted to give her the trip of her dreams while she still physically can. Wow. I am serious she will help you plan the trip of a lifetime. This trip is perfect for anyone who is interested in amazing art, great food, history, and or a wonderful way to see the baltic in 10 days while relaxing on a beautiful ship!

Sandy Made All the Difference!
I had not worked with a travel agent before and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! Sandy saved us so much money and time with her expertise. She made it easy for us (children included!). From her initial suggestions which we needed to even get started to her willingness to make changes throughout the planning process to make the perfect itinerary for us, she made it all happen within our budget. She is a wealth of knowledge and we will definitely use her again.

A Dream Come True
Sandy, simply stated, is wonderful! With just a short interview, she took my requirements and created a dream vacation that was perfect for mom and me. From the very beginning Sandy handled all the logistics and made everything so easy for mom and me to enjoy our first international vacation. A trip through Switzerland, France, Germany, and Holland - all within our budget. I know I wouldn't have been adventurous enough to take a trip like that if it hadn't been for Sandy's guidance and infectious adventurous spirit. I can't wait to see what Sandy has in store for us next! I highly recommend Sandy and Ordinary Couple Travels! Thank you Sandy!

Having Sandy help us put together all aspects of our trip was the best decision we could have made. To start with, Sandy made a point of getting to know us and our individual interests in order to create a personalized adventure. She handled all of those pesky details and did it flawlessly. Her professionalism is equaled by her delightful persona and her own true love of travel.

Best vacation ever!
Working with Sandy was a God send! Our trip was not an easy run of the mill holiday and she made every step of it seemingly easy for us! So many car transfers, hotel reservations and meeting spots, not to mention the Covid procedures and precautions we had to go through that she walked us through. Sincerely don’t know what we would have done without her!! When I missed my flight to Greece in Philadelphia because if weather she walked me through contacting the insurance company which she so kindly suggested we purchased and calmly walked me off the bridge til I got to my hotel and made sure I found another flight out. I would recommend Sandy to anyone and will surely use her again and again!

She arranged tours, secured accommodations, rented a car, and made recommendations. Our trip was went smoothly and everything she chose was perfect. We had one issue with a tour that was booked, Sandy promptly addressed it and we were issued a refund the following day.<br/>I would recommend her without hesitation .

The Longest Trip of Our Lives....27 days
review of Sandra McMillien by pam washburn , august 25th, 2017<br/> Sandra is a 10, awesome, hard working, detailed oriented, nice, fun.....MORE than you would expect from any travel agent. She took an idea of a trip to Europe to completion with alll the transportation, hotels, things to do and wonderful travel tips.<br/> Yes, she planned a 4week trip in France going where we wanted to go and how much time we wanted to stay at each place. Being on our own meant doing or not doing activities along the way. We wanted the freedom of choice and not be on a preplanned group tour.<br/> She can get better deals on tours also if that is your preference....bus, river etc. or wonderful family trip.<br/> There is no doubt that we will ask Sandra again to help us. You should too. She won't let you down in any way.<br/> Sincerely , Pam Washburn

Ireland magic
Sandy, is not only the best travel agent we've ever dealt with, but in truth no other agent comes close. She's head and shoulders above the others for three reasons: She has been to every place she recommends, she listens, and she is the consummate professional who sweats the details. In saying she has been to the places we don't just mean just the destination, we mean the hotels she's recommending, the restaurants, the activities. Sandy built a trip for us to Ireland and the places we stayed at, the villages she encouraged us to visit, and the sites we saw made this an unforgettable vacation. We stayed in Adare, a beautiful village in central Ireland and she arranged a rental car for us along with day trip itineraries for 5 days based out of Adare. We also spent time in Dublin before transferring to Adare. She made the trip extremely easy and her knowledge of Ireland was spot on. Great trip!

Wonderful experience planning a trip for our work
Our work group of 11 (plus spouses) wanted to do a fun trip together. We looked into options and had so many questions about how to make something like this possible with so many people. Once we started working with Sandy things became so much easier! She took all of our many questions and specific requests on with no problem. We changed our minds several times and she handled everything so smoothly. We also had a few last minute guest changes which we were worried were going to be a huge issue but Sandy took care of it for us with no problem! She gave great advice throughout the process and always responded quickly. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Could have never planned this trip without Sandy!
I have tried planning trips to foreign countries on my own and have always ended up regretting certain decisions I've made. For the first time, I thought I'd use a travel agent. Sandy was referred to me by a friend, and I wasn't sure what to expect. As it turned out, Sandy took the time to figure out the kinds of things we like to do (hike, not lay on a beach, that sort of thing). She quickly went to work helping us plan an itinerary and finding us reasonable hotels that met our needs for a good bed and a decent price. When I had questions, Sandy responded almost immediately. She has taken the stress of planning this "bucket list" trip for us and, as a result, I have no doubt that we will have a whole lot more fun knowing that everything has been thought about and planned ahead - and she has even assured me that we can make changes if the circumstances warrant this when we arrive. I have never reviewed anything/anyone before but want to assure anyone interested that Sandy and Ordinary Couples Travel is the way to go!

Delightful accommodations!
Sandy has helped us plan and secure arrangements for several European visits. We were delighted with the small, charming, friendly hotels she found for us. Sandy specializes in finding these unique and memorable paces to fit within our budget. We really appreciate that she personally contacts each hotel to verify and confirm the arrangements.
Sandy also helped us save us money on car rentals and suggested we take our own GPS device for driving directions (make sure your GPS has the detailed European maps if you do this). We really like Sandy’s follow-up after each trip to make sure the accommodations and other arrangements met our expectations. Her enthusiasm for travel is exciting and fun! We will definitely use Sandy’s services again!

Sandy was extremely helpful in planning our river cruise
Sandy, helped us not only compare River Cruise destinations, but also River Cruise companies. If she did not know the answer off the top of her head, she always found out the answer and got back to me very quickly. She had some great ideas for cabin locations etc. I would definitely recomend Sandy and will use her in the future if I need a Travel Agent.

Sandy and her husband love to travel and she has turned this love into a passion for helping others enjoy countries and places in a way they never would without her experience. She knows places like the back of her hand, and then combined with her knowledge she listens to her clients. Question after question about what type of hotels do you like, what type of activities, comfort level with various modes of transportation, etc. She then works on putting together, in every detail, an amazing experience tailored exactly to you. Sandy is amazing!

Bucket List Trip!
Wonderful Experience. Great attention to details. This was our first trip to Europe and Sandy provided such great service right from the start. Airline tickets and advice on how and when to upgrade our seats along with the transportation to hotel and river boat. Suggestion on which cabins might work better for us. Went over the excursions and made great suggestions for our extra days in Paris. <br/>All in all, a great trip thanks to Sandy! I have already recommended her to my friends and family!<br/>

She is so responsive
Sandy is the nicest person to talk with over the phone. She always makes you feel like you are the most important client of hers. I plan trips for 50+ and she has set up all the lodging for 2 of my trips. She has helped tremendously and got me a better price than I would have gotten otherwise.
She is also well traveled herself and has had many unique experiences that she is in tune with her clients needs and can recommend a broad range. She has written a really neat book about those experiences called "Extraordinary Travels of an Ordinary Couple." It really shows you that you don't have to be rich or special to have amazing travel experiences and even eat with a princess.
If you are looking for a cookie cutter same old, same old kind of tour look online, but if you want a memory of a lifetime...call Sandy.

Above and beyond!
My husband and I can't say enough about how wonderful it is to work with Sandra! We found Sandra online and after reading her great reviews, called her to help us book some site tours while we were visiting Italy. We had planned our trip ourselves, and all though Sandra explained that she normally worked with clients on planning their entire trip / package, not excursions only...she offered to meet with us and share some ideas with us. She was so very helpful, personable, and kind! She offered great advice, tips, and insight we could not have gotten otherwise. She did indeed help us with a tour of ancient Rome that she felt would be just right for us. It was amazing! Shortly after our initial meeting with Sandra, I decided to treat my children and grand-kids to a special Christmas vacation in Mexico. Of course I called Sandra and she worked her magic to find us just the right location, resort, etc. for my family of 12! We are super excited! Thank you Sandra! You go above and beyond!

Great Trip
In the Fall of 2013 my wife and I attended a seminar led by Sandy called ... "Extraordinary Travel for Ordinary People." Later I bought and read the book bearing the same title written by Sandy. What I saw and read led my wife and I to ask Sandy to plan a trip for us to London and Paris. We were not dis-appointed by what she arranged. We got to see and experience parts of France that other people only dream about. This past September we had Sandy arrange another trip for us to Europe. Once again, we were not dis-appointed. Sandy hooked us up with a Tour that took us to Munich, Prague, Budapest, Vienna & Salzburg called "Imperial Splendors." Though we are common ordinary middle class people -- we saw, experienced and tasted things that made us feel like extraordinary people. We highly, highly, recommend Sandy to people who want to experience the kind of travel they've always dreamed about. Gordon

She helped us with every step, even when we changed our plans.
Sandy helped us as we planned a surprise Christmas present for kids to go to Disney World over spring break. Her appointments were flexible. We have not traveled much. Sandy helped us plan for things that I would never have thought of. She helped plan everything from contacting Disney, booking our Disney package, booking a hotel so we could go tho the beach. She even added a room so we could meet up with family on our last days in Florida. She helped with every aspect. She is a great resource. She will be calling her for any future travel needs.

Details, details, details!
There are travel agents who can plan a trip, and there are agents who plan experiences....Sandy goes for the latter! She has planned two trips for me---a girls beach trip to Mexico and a 2 week trip to Italy for my husband and I. In planning both trips, Sandy's first question was always, "What kind of experience do you want to have?" She is so detailed oriented and ensures that everything is in place for a wonderful trip. Sandy has traveled extensively herself, so she brings incredible personal knowledge to the table. If she doesn't know the answer to any question, she quickly does the research and finds out! She has now become my personal "go-to" for any and all travel inquiries!

Extraordinary Travel for Ordinary People
Sandy has arranged two trips for me. The first, involving international travel, the second domestic. I have reviewed her efforts for travel to Turkey elsewhere. But the second was for dull boring travel between Windsor and Portland, OR that circumstances dictated occur with only a few days notice. I talked with her on a Monday (as I recall) and by Wednesday she had developed options for air travel, rental car and hotel, discussed them with me and completed the reservations.
The trip went well, in part because of suggestions by Sandy that, for example, I pay additional to arrange earlier boarding on SWA and finding an in airport rental car agency as cheap as those off airport.
One delightful surprise was the Crowne Plaza hotel in Portland was ritzy enough that no continental breakfast was offered. But, because of that, I discovered that breakfast can be as enjoyable as dinner in a quality restaurant. Too often in our rush we grab something off the buffet and are on our way losing that comfortable start to the day.
Thanks Sandy!

Easy Scandinavia
I've traveled extensively and until this trip had never used a travel agent. I like to do my own research and plan my own time. However, recent medical issues had made concentrating on anything for more than a few minutes very difficult. Having met Sandy at an event at our library I decided to give her a call. I explained my situation, likes and dislikes, time frame and budget.
Sandy called me back promptly and said even though she knew I preferred a "go it alone" route that there was a group tour that fit my needs as far as timing and cost. After more questions and discussion I decided to sign up for the tour and just book my flights to arrive 5 days early and stay 5 days after the tour. The tour worked out wonderfully, although i struck out on my own in the major cities; Copenhagen, Oslo, Bergen and Stockholm. As I was traveling as a single I would not have been able to rent a car or book hotels at a competitive rate to what the tour offered.
As my plans were fluid about what to do after the group tour ended I emailed Sandy 2 days before the end asking her to book additional nights in a hotel for me which she did and promptly emailed me back.
In the future we will use Sandy unless (and even sometimes when) we are traveling to a place we are very familiar with.

Sandy helped us plan a trip to Scotland in October, 2018. We... wanted to experience life in the small towns as well as touching the cultural attractions in the larger cities. Sandy booked us into delightful B&B's and throughout the trip she suggested itineraries and special events that certain towns were well known for. Some examples are: "The Enchanted Forest" in Pitlochry, and since I am scottish, she had arranged a tour in the castle that belonged to the same clan! Sandy's attention to detail is unparalleled. Thanks to her, we had a trip we will never forget! We will always rely on Sandy to help us make our dreams a reality.

You will receive these as a beautiful digital album after you've returned home as part of your HX Expedition Logbook. - Wi-Fi at no extra cost HX Expeditions offers Starlink Wi-Fi on all of their ships.
