Why Work with a Travel Advisor

When it comes to travel planning, we face a totally different issue now than we did a couple of decades ago: information overload! 

You don't want information overload. You want the insight that's relevant to you.

With so many destinations, hotels, and tours at our fingertips, how do you make sure you're choosing what's right for you and that what you're seeing online will be live up to your expectations in real life? You need someone to help you sift through the noise to craft a trip that speaks to your passions.

Working with an advisor means gaining the inside track on characterful accommodation, extraordinary experiences, and wow-worthy moments. Plus, you'll have access to the perks of working with a Virtuoso agent with fun add-ons like complimentary breakfast and resort credits for your stays, I'm excited to hear what you've envisioned for your trip so we can make your bucket list travel experiences a reality.

Inspired Globetrotters

- Jen G.

We just returned from a life-changing trip to Africa (Kenya), which we've been dreaming of for years. Thanks to Shannon's help and guidance, we were able to make it a reality, and it was better than we ever thought it could be... We feel so fortunate to have found Shannon when we did, and so grateful for the Trip Of A Lifetime that she helped make possible.

- Todd R.

Working with Shannon was so wonderful and helped us create an unforgettable trip to Italy with minimal stress and time spent by us. She is creative, detail oriented, timely, extremely knowledgeable and accommodating to our needs and timelines. My only reservation in lauding her too much, is that she will be getting too popular for us to be able to use her skills in the future!! Totally kidding, Shannon is top notch all the way around!!!!!

- Rick F.

Shannon has planned many trips for us, including trips to Greece, France and Ireland. On our trip to France, she arranged our flights, set up the hotel in Paris, and arranged our accommodations in the wine region of Alsace. We visited different vineyards and enjoyed wine tastings in the region. She even set up a private vineyard tour on segways which was a first for us, but hopefully it won't be our last. We couldn't have seen all that we did without her planning.

- Carl P.

Shannon was a pleasure to work with. She listened to all of our wants and gave us that plus more. We visited places that we would have never found had we planned our trip without her. From the moment we first reached out until the completion of our trip her communication was the best. Looking forward to working with her on future trips.

- Rachel P.

This is the 5th trip that Shannon has helped us plan and without exception, they have all been well thought out, well planned and exceptional. Shannon has earned our trust with her knowledge, her level of detail, her responsiveness, her care and enthusiasm for our travels as well as the the options she provides for itineraries, hotels, tour guides, travel arrangements, you name it. We are officially spoiled!
