About Sandy
Owner & Professional Travel Advisor
Hey I’m Sandy Dierdorf! I am the founder of Madison Travel Company, and my passion for traveling developed throughout my life. From taking trips across the US as a child with my family to traveling internationally. However, my passion is not just traveling, but helping people complete their own travel dreams. That’s why I founded Madison Travel Company, and I haven’t looked back. I’m always looking forward, planning, dreaming and creating new travel experiences for myself, my family and my clients.
A cool thing about traveling – There is always a new place to go, a new experience to take in, and a new friend to meet on the road to somewhere. Let me help you complete your travel dreams or find that one new thing.

About Emily
Travel Consultant & Office Manager
Hi, I’m Emily Applegate! I’ve lived in Madison my entire life and love the small town feel of Madison along with the many exciting activities and events offered; from festivals to parades, to art shows, Madison has it all. My husband and I are first time parents, and we are excited to raise our family in our hometown where everyone feels like family.
I joined Madison Travel Company as a travel agent and to oversee the administrative side of the day-to-day operations of MTC. This position perfectly complements my love for travel and adventure. The opportunity to be involved in a project that provides visitors a unique way to discover Madison is the perfect blend of my lifelong love and connection to Madison.

A family member recommended Madison Travel a few years ago – what a difference they’ve made! They coordinated a super trip to Costa Rica and arranged extended days in Italy for a tour we booked. Both times resulted in unique activities and superb accommodations that suited us perfectly. Madison Travel takes the time to understand your travel style so you get a customized experience. And their attention and support before, during and after a trip is truly unbelievable. We love to travel and can’t imagine doing it without Madison Travel!
Sandy is an amazing travel agent. She responds quickly to emails and messages. She has planned 3 trips to Mexico for us and the places are amazing. I am thankful for her as she takes care of everything. I highly recommend Madison Travel Company for your travel needs.
The Madison Travel Company is phenomenal to work with! Planning a trip for 30+ college individuals is not always an easy task – however, Sandy made it an easy and enjoyable experience! Sandy is consistently in contact with her clients and makes sure they have everything they need both before and during the trip. From phone calls, to text messages – Sandy was always available to talk and make sure we felt confident and had everything we needed!
