Cindy Stein

I am a native South African  from Cape Town who has lived in Ireland for the last 7 years.  I have travelled to many places from Ireland and on my journey here.  I have been to Las Vegas, San Fransisco, New York, Toronto, Quebec, Montreal, Thailand, Madrid, Australia, Netherlands, Germany, Switerzland, Denmark, France, Italy, Greece, and many parts of the U.K.
 
Every year I look forward to going back to South Africa.  I do miss Table Mountain and it's views of the Cape.  The food, the endless types of meats and restaurants. The bars, the sunset over the ocean, sitting in the sand with friends.   I miss the drives through the vine yards along the Garden Route.  Day tripping to Hermanus to watch the whales.  Sharks spotting in Gaans Baai and summer breaks on safary in Port Elizabeth, Amakhale and Kariega.

My area of expertise is Cuba which is a fascinating destination. Think of American Buicks, Che Guevara murals, locals smoking chunky Montecristos. Cuba has so much to visit all those who visit, part of its dynaism and its intrinsic beauty. Travel here not only requires a passport, money and a visa, it also requires flexibility, creativity, good humor, patience and a healthy sense of adventure.

The other side to Cuba is Varadero, which houses 5* resorts, a 20km swathe of golden white sands located on the Hicacos Peninsula that rivals anything else in the Caribbean.

Countries visited: France, Italy, Spain, Baleric Islands, Canary Islands, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Portugal, Crete, Crypus, Malta, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Germany, Switzerland, USA Florida & New York and Toronto Canada

I have visited many countries and my favourite has to be Cyprus. With it being the third largest island in the Mediterranean it has something for all ages. Ayia Napa has to be the best spot for both the young & young at heart with its bustling bars, clubs & restaurants, not to mention its famous Nissi Beach where you will find plenty of watersports. Paphos is one of the more sophisticated resorts on the island. The old town on the hill enjoys beautiful sea views & winding streets with indoor markets. Down by the harbour there are some excellent restaurants with great local culinary delights. It is definately worth seeing the Tomb of the Kings that dates back to the third century. You can also visit Egypt by boat on a three day guided tour!

I also specialise in Cruising to both the Mediterranean & the Caribbean. It is definitely worth experiencing if you have never cruised before. With numerous resturants & entertainment on board not to mention the huge range of countries you can visit along the way, it has something for all ages.

Here are some of the places I've have been to in the last two years and I look forward to helping you plan your perfect trip away. New York, Costa Del Sol, Majorca, Portugal, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura, Euro Disney Paris, Crete, Cyprus & Venice.

Cuba is an inviting tropical cocktail of African colour and rhythm , Spanish Colonial Heritage, Latin American culture and all year round Caribbean sunshine. Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean blessed with seemingly endless palm-fringed tropical beaches, turquoise oceans and fascinating coral reefs. add this to Cuba's multi-racial people with passion for Music and dance and you will have a wonderful experience never to be forgotten.

New York is a very magical city especially when visited at Christmas. I have been their over eight times and just can’t get enough of it. I love all the shops especially the famous Woodbury Commons Premium Outlet. There is so much to do and see in New York from the Empire State building to the Statue of Liberty you will never have the same experience twice.

 

Las Vegas is again one of my many favourite places I have visited .There is lots to do and see their. From the bustling casino`s to dancing the night away, helicpoter rides in the Grand Canyon and of course every girl`s hobbie shopping. Las Vegas is a must for someone looking for an exciting holiday but it is not for the faint hearted.

I also love Orlando I have been their 3 times. There is something for everyone in Orlando from Theme Parks , Shopping , Golfing , swimming with Dolphins just to name a few.


I would highly recommend doing Orlando and Miami as a flydrive holiday and maybe also a Caribbean Cruise which I have done and highly recommend it especially after the hustle and bustle of Orlando its nice just to relax for a few days before heading home .
My favourite European destination would have to be the Costa Del Sol .I love it that much I even got married their.I arranged my own wedding from start to finish so if your looking to get married abroad please do not hesitate to contact me .

Places I have visited :Las Vegas , New York , Boston  , Orlando , Thailand , Eurodisney , Northern and Southern Cyprus , Gran Canaria , Lanzarote , Ibiza , Majorca , Costa Del Sol ,Turkey , Copenhagen , Germany.

With over 25 years experience in the travel industry i have visited numerous countries, my favouties being South Africa and Australia..

My most memorable trip was to Oz and the best parts were taking in Sydney which I think is one of the best cities in the world and then i flew up to the barrier reef . This is just spectatular with all the water activities and its just so unspoilt and for all those adrenalin junkies out there i followed that up with white water rafting on the tully river and then ended up doing a rainforest canopy walk in the daintree .Australia should be on everyone's "To Do" list an absolute must. 

Countries visited : Spain , Canary Islands, Portugal, France, Italy , (Islands Of Sicily And Sardinia) Greece, Turkey , Malta,Morocco, Thailand , Singapore, Vietnam , India . Dubai . Australia,  Mauritius , South Africa , Zimbabwe , Dubai, Bermuda , The Caribbean Islands Of Jamaica And St Lucia, Ski Destinations Of Austria And Switzerland ,  Canadian Rockies And Whistler , Colorado, Usa And Canada

Scandinavia would It is only in Scandinavia that you can ski also in April! During the dark winter months, you can get a glimpse of the magnificent northern lights and during the summer, you can enjoy day light all around the clock! Some other great destinations that I love include Jordan, Dubai and Israel whom all offer a different holiday yet exciting option for your trip abroad.

    Hi,
    I was looking for a late deal last week and rang your centre where I was speaking to one of your consultants. I would like to pass on my compliments on her excellent customer service, she was extremely helpful and spent a lot of time going through the various offers. She even took the trouble to ring one of the travel agents to query the transfer time as it seemed somewhat long. It is a pleasure to deal with a company that understands what 'customer service' is - too many purport to provide it but in reality never carry out on their promise. I will certainly be using your service in the future and recommending you to friends and colleagues.

  • A Chara, I wish to convey my complements to a member of your staff who I had the pleasure of talking to regarding visiting Orlando. I found him to be very pleasant and friendly to deal with, I feel he went out of his way to ensure I had all the information I needed to make a decision
    and I just cant thank him enough for that. I have dealt with tour
    operators for over 20 years and have never come across anyone as dedicated, helpful, honest and cheerful as Owen and feel he is a credit to your company. As a result, I am e-mailing all my family and friends with your gohop website and suggesting they book their holidays with yourselves. It is such a pleasure dealing with a person like I did and I wish him all the best in the future.

  • Well good afternoon to ya i got your email there and i was already talking to Jodie there today i confirmed my flights and got them payed up and all ok just to let you know , and ive always found the staff at the go hop branch to be very helpful in every way possible , in the past ive made a few trips and id dealt with orla tooher who i have to say was also very helpful in her work too , so thank you very much for holding my spot for me like that , and i wish to let you know my future trips from perth to dublin will be carried out with the great help of your staff at gohop

  • I'm glad i came across your site, I got lots of information in a few minutes. I'll be looking it up again later.best of luck. mary,

  • I have been watching your web page develop over the past few months and wish to comment on the tremendous improvements and features. especially being able to have someone call you back.

  • Keep up the excellent work

  • I am a great fan of your site, as it has very reasonable long haul rates and I have recommended the site to many (ah the power of viral marketing).

  • Received Ciaran's ticket in the post yesterday, thanks. Was singing your praises to my 'other half' last night and he asked me to check on flights to Boston for him, departing next Wednesday (18th) morning - returning the next day sometime around 10 or 11.00am.  Anything available? Also the level of service from your internal  consultants was second to none.

  • Thank you so much for your help today.  Unfortunately, we have in the meantime sorted ourselves out.  However, I will definitely be in touch again as I found the service extremely fast and efficient.  Great Job Folks.

  • Many thanks for your efficient response. I was amazed at the range of airlines you have on the site, and it has been nice to view different pricing options on one site as opposed to flutting around to all the different sites. Slan...

  • Thank you for the good service, it is nice to get prices quoted in euros, especially given the exchange rate with Sterling.

  • I am a technology journalist with the Irish Times, Guardian, Sunday Times and a number of US publications, and I spend a lot of time on the web. I liked the results on the test-run of your site so much that I've reserved a ticket

  • Someone told me about your service and said it was very efficient but this quick response is amazing. Thank you for your options but I have to be back in Dublin before the 18th September. I will surely pass on this website details to all my friends..

  • Thanks for the help with the trip to America, New York in December.. cannot wait to get out of here. Doom and gloom Ireland.
