Compliments
“Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate
And though I oft have passed them by
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.”― J.R.R. Tolkien
Honeymoons
Our honeymoon to Switzerland was remarkable and picturesque. Barb met with us multiple times to plan every detail of our trip; including 4 different cities with activities in each location. She listened to our desires and helped create the perfect mix of activity and relaxation that we were looking for and created seamless transitions to each city. Prior to our honeymoon we were not experienced travelers (especially internationally) and Barb's attention to detail helped us feel prepared so we could take in and enjoy every minute of our trip!

Custom Groups
We contacted Barbara to help us coordinate a custom group tour of the beautiful country of Italy for 60 friends and fans of our restaurant and local musicians Craig Thatcher and Nyke Van Wyk. Our unique 10-day itinerary was precisely planned, arranged, and organized. Barb's creativity and expertise did not go unnoticed! With the help of Ciao Italy, she coordinated all music performances by Craig and Nyke at amazing venues. We experienced several traditional dinners, a balsamic vinegar and parmesan cheese learning experience, and wine tastings in centuries-old wineries. Our tour guides were nothing short of outstanding. From Rome to Venice and many stops in between, Barb structured all of our transportation needs. Italy was an amazing and memorable trip with many delightful surprises for our guests along the way. I would not hesitate to contact Barbara again to plan our future travel!

Family Travel
During the winter of 2019, my family decided to take a summer vacation to Scotland. I had been following Barb Snyder’s travel adventures with other groups and decided to contact her. I had never planned an overseas trip and I didn’t know where to start. Barb made the process easy with her calm, knowledgeable manner. She asked us to make a list of everything we wanted to see and do. From there she put together a detailed trip including transportation, hotels, tours and everything else we were hoping to do. It was easy and relaxed. The trip turned out perfectly, from beginning to end! Barb considered every detail and the trip flowed seamlessly with no snags. It was a trip of a lifetime and we all have the fondest memories of Scotland. I am so happy we chose Barb to arrange the trip!

Disney Travel
After a perfect honeymoon trip booked by Barb we knew exactly who to go to when taking our first family trip to Disney. Barb was so easy and awesome to work with! Traveling with a newborn and 2 year old is never easy but we had a flawless trip! She assisted with everything from our flights to stroller accommodations and a great resort location perfect for our family. She helped us map out our trip so we were able to see the most of each Disney Park in only 4 days!

" I have been working with Barbara Snyder at Cali & Main Travel for many years and she has booked countless trips for us. She is very knowledgeable and helpful with our requests. It costs no more to use a travel agent, in fact, they can get better pricing and perks sometimes. Most importantly, if there are any issues such as weather problems, airline cancellations, etc., she is there immediately to help. No waiting on hold for an internet travel provider to answer the phone and maybe help out. We had a flight canceled due to a snowstorm back home and Barb took care of arranging new flights and an extra day at the hotel while I spent an extra day at the beach. Totally recommend Cali & Main for your travel arrangements. Happy travels!

Ocean Cruise
For our sixtieth birthday my husband and I decided to go to Las Vegas as a celebration. When I called my friend and travel agent Barb Snyder to ask about arranging it for us, she informed me she had a really great deal on a cruise!
I immediately explained to Barb that after reading the book, “The Perfect Storm” I would never go on a cruise! I knew with certainty there was a very large rogue wave waiting out in the ocean with my name in capital letters on it! No thank you, Las Vegas please!
But Barb, being the excellent travel consultant that she is, made us an offer we could not refuse, and so rogue wave or no, we booked! We sailed from Puerto Rico to five incredible Caribbean Islands. Barb had arranged all our transports so we sailed off into the sunset with absolutely no hassle at all.
We swam, snorkeled, hiked, went site seeing, took catamaran trips, ate, drank, relaxed and had the most marvelous of times! Thanks to Barb for helping me to go beyond my comfort zone!

Discovering USA
Last minute trip to Alaska and we had 3 days. I called Barb - she put together a trip to Denali for us with the limited resources available. Accommodations were fabulous (Grand Denali Hotel) and travel (by bus) was fine. She was even able to get us on a 13+hour day trip to Kantishna (90 mile road in Denali National Park). Thanks for always making our trips PERFECT!
