About Me

Vintage Edinburgh!
Vintage Edinburgh!

Kings and Queens, castles and countryside, highland and lowlands, the British Isles and Northern Ireland offer it all. 

London is a vibrant city offering a rich history, a thriving art and theater scene, shopping, and excellent museums.  There is even a strong foodie culture with excellent restaurants as well as teeming markets.  Head out into the countryside of the Cotswold to explore the smaller villages of England.  A trip to Wales is always magical as well. 

Scotland offers two interesting and very different cities that are only an hour apart. Glasgow is the former industrial city that has transformed itself into a art and food scene along the Clyde river.  Historical Edinburgh offers it's stunning Edwardian architecture and a very Harry Potter vibe.  It also offers some excellent Michelin dining and is a gateway to the Highlands and the Isle of Skye.  Perhaps you want a whiskey tour of the islands and the variety of whiskey on offer.  You'll pass castles and ruins on many of the routes. 

Ireland too offers castles and many of them are now hotels.  Experience falconry, high tea and wonderful dinners during your stay.  Explore the countryside, the Cliffs of Mohrer, County Cork and the rich history of Dublin.  Journey to Belfast to learn about the complicated history of Ireland as well as marvel at the Giants Causeway and the beautiful scenery of this dynamic island. 

Explore deeper into the isles with a visit to the Isle of Man with is castles and dynamic Celtic and Viking Heritage. 

Let us help you plan your journey with our network of local partners and relationships.

Bora Bora done right!
Reviewed By Brian - Los Angeles, CA | Traveled to Bora Bora ~ French Polynesia ~ South Pacific
Worked with Shannon for over 9 months on my birthday trip to Bora Bora. We had to reschedule a few times due to issues with entry into the country. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip as everything was planned and executed flawlessly. Shannon gave us all of the details we needed to understand the very strict entry rules into Tahiti. They even changed a week before our trip and she was on the phone to us explaining the details. We were prepared and noticed many travelers were not. We even gave some travelers advice she had passed onto us to assist them in their journey. We can't wait for our next trip which we are already planning with Shannon for fall.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

The perfect honeymoon planned!
Reviewed By Tara S - Rye, NY | Traveled to Kauai Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
Shannon was an amazing help from the very start of planning our honeymoon! We had the most amazing time In Kauai and we look forward to going back one day. The resort was stunning and we stayed in the most perfect location. We wouldn’t have been able to plan such a great trip without her assistance. I would definitely recommend her services for anyone looking to plan a trip.

Roman holiday of our dreams
Reviewed By Angie C - Thousand Oaks, California | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Shannon’s help in planning our trip to Italy was invaluable. We had never travelled abroad, so her assistance in selecting not only the places to visit, but general advice regarding travel logistics (ordering/taking Euros, time to allow for layovers, electrical adaptors to purchase, etc) was especially helpful. Shannon helped us to locate lodging which met our needs and preferences, and book tours which aligned with my family’s interests. We especially appreciated the digital itinerary Shannon prepared for us which had all our flight, train, lodging and tour confirmations (along with maps/direction) in one place - we referred to it constantly throughout our trip. Everything went according to plan and we treasure the lifelong memories of Rome, Florence, and Cinque Terre we created for our family. Thank you for your help Shannon - we are already looking forward to planning our next trip with you!

Use for your Honeymoon!
Reviewed By Cdey - Philadelphia, PA | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
Shannon was great planning our honeymoon to Italy. She checked in with us whenever she was booking something and kept our budget in mind the whole planning process. Even when there were some transportation issues in Italy she was quick to answer and make sure the problem was solved.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
