What Our Travellers Say About Us
- Amazing trip to Italy - well organized and planned. Our trip was wonderfully arranged with unique experiences, drivers and guides that brought Italy alive! I have traveled with other colonies and this one far exceeded expectations - looking forward to planning another trip!read moreread lessBrandy Easa9/19/2024I can’t say enough about the incredible experience we had with CMC World Travel. From start to finish, Caron and her team truly went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our trip was perfect. The guides, drivers and staff we met along the way were all phenomenal—knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly attentive to our needs. They made the entire travel experience seamless and stress-free. This was, without a doubt, the best trip we've ever been on, and it’s all thanks to CMC. If you’re looking for a travel agency that excels in creating unforgettable journeys, look no further!read moreread lessStephanie McCarthy9/05/2024We just returned from the family VACATION of a LIFETIME made possible by CMC Travel. The team greeted us in Barcelona and then managed our entire 11 days of excursion across Spain, France and Italy! Our services included premier and unique accommodations, food reservations at places we would have never found, knowledgeable and fun tour guides and flawless transportation. Our 17 and 19 year old, hung with us and had a blast the ENTIRE time! We’ll definitely use CMC again for that special vacation!!read moreread lessLori Logan7/14/2024Best Vacation EVER! If we had tried to plan this trip on our own we never would have seen so many special places, immersed ourselves in local Italian villages, our got to see and do so many activities…all stress free. (I felt like Eric Stoltz in the movie Some Kind of Wonderful who arranged for special access to museums to impress his girlfriend). We were effortlessly whisked thru Rome, Pompeii, Sorrento and surrounding Italian countryside villages, rarely ever waiting in a line. CMC World Travel has the hookup to get you into anything you want with the best private guides and an amazingly efficient schedule. If you aren’t using CMC World Travel you will be waisting your precious vacation timeread moreread lessJohn Krahulec7/10/2024
- We used Caron a few years ago when we were in Rome. She was amazing and took such great care of us on our way up to Florence. We saw so many different things, ate at a wonderful winery, toured a medieval town, and toured Florence including seeing The David. This past April our cruise ended in Lisbon, Portugal. We wanted another private tour seeing exactly what we wanted to see and not what the bus driver or tour company decided we would see. We completely lucked out. Caron found Miguel who was a fantastic guide. We had already told Caron approximately what we wanted to see and Miguel took that and ran with it. We saw everything including churches, buildings, the oldest bakery, had a stop for cherry wine with chocolate, and a stop for cheese and wine. All in all it was a fantastic day. And that was only a half day. The next morning Miguel picked us up and took us outside of Lisbon to the most eastern point in Europe. Kind of like going to see the southernmost point of the US by Key West Florida. This was a full day and included lunch at a wonderful local restaurant that Miguel had set the time for. Even though we didn’t see Caron this time, her expertise and knowledge helped find us someone who worked very well with us. It was well worth the cost and we learned a lot of history along the way.read moreread lessJeanne MacLeod6/26/2024I am a very detail oriented, attention to detail person. Prior to our retirement trip to Europe in May 2024, we researched private tour guides in Rome for several months. We finally decided on Ms. Caron McConnon with Tours by Locals. We could not have made a better selection in our wildest dreams. Once we returned from our Mediterranean cruise and from the time we made initial contact with Caron in our Rome hotel that first day, it was an experience of a lifetime. Not only has Caron lived in Rome for over 22 years, she is an ex-pat from the US; so we had the best of both worlds. Caron was very punctual, extremely friendly and very engaging from the first day and gave us a private, deep dive tour of the eternal city of Rome and Florence that one can only dream of. We were immersed in the history and culture of Rome for seven days and I leaned so much from Caron during this time. She made all arrangements for meals, transportation, venue tickets, skip the line tickets, first class express train tickets to Florence for the day and anything else that we wanted or she could think of. We never had to wait or want for anything as Caron had already taken care of the arrangements. Her knowledge of Rome and its history is unmatched. She even made arrangements to get us to the airport for our return trip home. I would put my reputation on the line and highly recommend Caron as your tour guide of choice if you decide to visit Rome and learn the extensive history and culture. Caron’s reach is worldwide and we are already thinking of planning a Heritage trip with her company to Germany. Again, if you want to get your money’s worth and then some; Ms. Caron McConnon is your choice hands down.read moreread lessKen McDavid6/12/2024My husband and I shared our first trip to Europe this past month. We planned on touring Rome for a long weekend prior to taking a Mediterranean cruise. I didn't know even know how to start planning for a trip like this and that's when CMC Travel comes into play. Caron and team came HIGHLY recommended through some friends of ours who had recently used their services. They were over the top excited to partner with CMC and we were too. Caron was extremely responsive and helpful as she built our itinerary. Once we arrived, we were greeted by two of the sweetest people, Pamela and Marco. They were very knowledgeable, patient, and flexible. Took us to see the most amazing sites and also gave us great additional sites to see, food to eat, and places to go on our own in the evening. We highly recommend using CMC Travel. We plan on Tuscany next and CMC Travel will be a part of that too!read moreread lessJennifer Thul5/01/2024Absolutely fantastic! Stellar communication before,during,after. Caron is fun, knowledgeable and connected. She got to know us, adjusted the itinerary on the go, made one phone call and we were in exclusive venues. We fell in love with Italy and Caron. If there were more than 5 stars, we’d give it! We will definitely be using CMC again. Already referred them to all our traveling friends.read moreread lessThomas Talbot4/23/2024
- Caron and her staff were phenomenal! In Rome and Naples the guides and drivers made our time extra special as we were able to get to sites like the Vatican, Colosseum, Pompeii, Sorrento, Amalfi Coast promptly and had informative, fast-paced tours with local flare. And she coordinated getting us to and from the cruise ship and airport. Seamless and top-notch experience in every way, and a great value for what we were able to see and do. We will be recommending her to all our friends who have upcoming trips to Europe.read moreread lessJeffrey Hyde4/22/2024I don’t even know how to express the amazing experience we had with this company. They were professional, knowledgeable and went over the top To make our vacation the best. We stayed in Rome, our guides there were Caron, Ellen and Pamela. We visited multiple locations like the Colosseum,the Forum the trivia fountain, the Spanish steps, the locations Julius Caesar was killed, the catacombs, Vatican City and the Key hole. Then they drove us to Pompeii and down to the Amalfi coast. We had an issue with our Airbnb, which was not planned by them. It was planned by us and they got us out of the Airbnb. Caron got us into a hotel in Sorrento and we had a fabulous time there. Mena guided us through Pompeii and took us to Capri for the day. We got to see the blue grotto got to ride up the chairlift to the top of the mountain,ate amazing pizza and rode around in these cool taxi convertibles. The next day we took a fast train to Tuscany. We spent an amazing day with Caron in Tuscany. We shopped, walked around the city and had an incredible wine tasting with food pairing experience at Tenuta Torciano Winery. We had such a great experience we are already planning our next adventure with this agency. Oh I can’t leave out how incredible her drivers are. We used her staff to take us all around Italy and we were two families traveling with five children and felt comfortable enough to have adults in one car and kids in another and they had a blast with these drivers. Thank you CMC world travel for an experience of a lifetime.read moreread lessRenee Brackin3/21/2024My husband and I travelled to Rome, Italy, in December, 2023, and we contacted CMC World Travel to book two days of private guided tour services. Caron and Mauro put together a customized experience for us with exceptional attention to detail. We truly enjoyed every moment of our itinerary which included tours of the Vatican, the Colosseum, the Apian Way, Catacombs and additional amazing sites in beautiful Rome. We were so pleased with all the elements of the service -everything was taken care of for us including transportation to and from our hotel and to our various tour destinations and all the reservations and ticket booking. All we had to do was enjoy the experience and soak up the expertise and knowledge that our fantastic guide, Mauro, shared with us. We felt very safe – it was as if we were with a good friend who was showing us the many treasures that Rome has to offer. We also had some vintage pictures that my husband’s uncle had taken years ago when he visited Rome while serving in the Navy – Mauro was so kind to help us identify many of the locations from those vintage pictures so that we could take new pictures at many of the same locations. Thank you for a wonderful, magical adventure and for creating memories that we will certainly reflect back on and cherish always.read moreread lessValerie Taylor2/21/2024If I could rate a 10 star for Caron .. I would. The tour in of itself was fabulous but Caron brought the experience to a new level. My friends and I took her Tuscan wine tasting tour and it was nothing short of spectacular. She made sure that we were well taken care of all throughout. Two days later , we did the Vatican tour, and again… top notch!Please use this travel service and you will see for yourself. I now feel like I have friend in Italy!read moreread lesskathy crissman1/12/2024
- Not sure where to start. Caron made my first trip to Italy an amazing experience. She took us on a wine tour in Tuscany. Amazing! Made us feel like family. Then went to the coliseum and to the Vatican. If you want to experience Italy, you need to contact CMC world travel. Can’t wait to go back. Truly fabulous ❤️read moreread lessPatti Cole1/12/2024Caron was recommended to me as the best and she and Mauro did not disappoint. They put together a great itinerary of sight seeing and tours with awesome guides, and planned incredibly well - Barcelona>Venice>Florence>Rome in 10 days and it was seamless. We were with Mauro through Italy and he was super knowledgeable and extremely personable, and definitely made it a great trip for me and my friends. I absolutely would recommend CMC to anyone thinking about a trip, and am already looking forward to my next trip with them.read moreread lessHillin Warren12/05/2023Excellent experience with this travel agency! Mauro is an exceptional tour guide, he is friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating, and my family and I had a blast. Would recommend this agency to anyone looking to enjoy and learn more about Italy!read moreread lessBasil Al-Qaneh11/28/2023Where to start... it was 11 days of WOW I could have written a 300 page book! We had high expectations and not once were we let down. there was not a time we had to think of any details all were taken care of all we had to do is enjoy. We are planning a trip to England and Spain and there is not another choice but Caron. The knowledge and professionalism is top notch.read moreread lessRichard Greenough8/20/2023

We will absolutely use them again. Life is short. Travel well.read moreread lessDan Delanty12/05/2022It was such a pleasure traveling with Caron around Tuscany, Rome and Venice! She was such a pleasure to be with! We were able to maximize our time in Italy and see things we would have never seen if it wasn't for Caron knowing all the best places! We will be using Caron and CMC World Travel for our next European Adventure again for sure!
