Barcelona: Food, City, Sea, and Gaudí

We had such a wonderful trip and truly appreciated how thoughtfully everything was planned. The highlights for us were the awe inspiring Sagrada Família, our day trip to Girona, and of course the incredible food and wine throughout. We especially loved having an itinerary that gave us structure during the day while still allowing us to slow down in the evenings and enjoy a great dinner each night. The pacing felt just right, and your plan made it easy to see the major highlights of Barcelona over five plus days, along with two fantastic day excursions. All of the tour guides were excellent and added so much to the experience. Our hotel was also ideally located, which made getting around very easy and enjoyable. We were happy that the hotel was not near the beach! Thank you again for planning such a memorable trip for us.

Thank you so much, Caroline. You have made my time in France infinitely easier and enjoyable!

Caroline was wonderful to work with while planning our AmaWaterways Captivating Rhine cruise. She helped us choose the perfect itinerary and even built out a couple of days before and after the cruise to continue exploring. Everything felt smooth and well organized from start to finish. Because of her, we were able to just relax and enjoy the experience.

Caroline made the entire experience of planning our Sandals wedding feel effortless from start to finish. We had originally chosen Sandals Montego Bay for our wedding, but after Hurricane Rafael last November forced the resort to close through May 2026, we suddenly had to pivot to a new plan. Caroline stepped in immediately, kept me calm, and handled everything with such confidence and care. Because of her efforts, we were even able to keep the same wedding dates at Sandals Ochi, which meant so much to us and our guests who had already booked their flights and rooms. From the very beginning, she understood exactly what we were looking for and guided us to the perfect fit. Her communication was always clear, timely, and thoughtful, which gave us so much peace of mind throughout the process. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how easy and seamless it was to work with her as well. We truly felt taken care of every step of the way and could not have asked for a better travel advisor.

We reached out to 58 Stars with short notice on this trip and Caroline did a fantastic job, she hit all the marks with the sites and tour guides. Our trip was just a short four days, and they were beautifully balanced with experiences as well as some free time to explore and indulge in the city.

Caroline helped plan our AmaWaterways cruise and the whole experience was fantastic. She clearly knows these cruises inside and out and was able to get bookings secured for both us and our friends right away. This was a pretty last minute trip and our preferred sailing was almost sold out, so we were really grateful for how quickly she handled everything. She was incredibly professional throughout the process and made everything easy and stress free. It was such a pleasure working with someone so knowledgeable and responsive. I am already looking forward to planning our next trip with her.

We loved every single bit of our trip! We rated our trip a 10 out of 10. The room you had selected for us is truly the best in the entire place.  I counted the steps from my room to my chair and it was 15 steps!  Everything was exactly what we wanted; the food, service, entertainment, and beach were all excellent. Thank you so much for helping us!! We can't wait to work with you again.

This was our second time working with Caroline and our trip to San Miguel de Allende was amazing. Caroline and her team did a great job organizing our wonderful experience. Some highlights include our walking food tour, which was great! The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Our Cooking class with Chef Ruben from Sazon was FANTASTIC! This was the best cooking class I've had when traveling abroad. Overall the details and communication were great! Details were communicated well in advance and were clear. Not only that, but the local contacts that Caroline provided were quick to respond.

Using Caroline as our travel agent greatly helped alleviate the stress with travel. It was nice using the app to organize all the travel and tickets. We would definitely use Caroline on our next trip to Europe!

I've thought hard about what I would have changed because I really thought about how we spent our money. Honestly, there isn't one thing I would change about how you planned our time and all the things we did. We found every tour to be valuable. In fact, I told my husband that I'm not sure we could have gotten through Vatican City on our own. It's made me appreciate the value of guided tours in a new way. Our guide at the Colosseum was wonderful and the other family left early so we got mostly a private tour. Also, we were pleasantly surprised to realize that you booked the climb at the tower of Pisa, because I didn't notice but I appreciate you took care of that detail. I would have been disappointed if we'd missed that part. The hotels you chose were all perfect for us. Overall, there is not one thing I would have changed, as it all worked for us. If the world were perfect, it would have been nice to have one more night in Venice, but I wouldn't have wanted to change what we did to make it happen. There really are no sufficient words to express my gratitude to you for how you helped us with this. I'm so, so thankful that I happened to stumble across you and your expertise and I realize how much of a blessing that is to me. I was pretty desperate and overwhelmed when I reached out. And I credit you with saving this significant vacation and making it what it was. I'm going to hang on to your contact for both referrals and future assistance. There is still lots of Europe to see!

Hello! I've always wanted to go to Italy and see Pompeii. And my gosh, it was amazing. Not only was Pompeii everything I thought it would be, but all of Italy was wonderful. I enjoyed the tours (especially the one who had the guide named Alessandro), and I learned A lot more than what I would have without them. The destinations were beautiful, and the experiences there were fun. Thank you for planning such a great trip!

I’m so thankful that I found Caroline. She did such an amazing job packing everything we wanted to do in our time frame. The scheduled tours were wonderful and perfect for our needs. Also, the hotels were perfect. Thank you!

We had a wonderful and amazing time in Grenada - both the resort and the island/people were fantastic! We really did not want to come back home as the time went by way too fast!

Caroline it was like you read our minds. We so loved everything. PLEASE let the tour companies know how special they made our days with them! They were 5 stars!!! You were so responsive to our worries even when we were in France. We thank you so much for that. We would use you and your company again! With much gratitude, Denise and Toby

We had the most incredible experience working with Caroline, who planned our perfect trip to Paris. The trip was fairly short notice, only a few weeks away. From the moment we first connected, Caroline took the time to understand our family’s interests and crafted an itinerary that blended iconic highlights with hidden gems. Every detail—from the charming hotel selection to private guides, museum access, and time to simply get lost and experience the streets of Paris—was thoughtfully arranged and seamlessly executed. Caroline's knowledge and connections made all the difference, as she expertly found a perfect hotel for us despite our trip coinciding with the French Open and the Paris Air Show. Caroline took such good care to ensure this trip was magical for our family, helping us create lifelong memories. We’re already eager to work with Caroline on our next trip!

Our recent trip to Paris for Spring Break was absolutely fantastic! Both of my teenage kids described it as the trip of a lifetime. We had so many incredible moments, including our visit to Versailles with our amazing tour guide, Magnus, and the interactive cooking class with Francoise. The Louvre was breathtaking, and our pre-planned dinners each night after a full day of exploring were perfect. Hotel Regina was excellent and ideally located. It was definitely the highlight of the trip! Thank you Caroline for curating such a terrific schedule!

We had such an amazing time on our London/Scotland trip!!!   It really was a trip of a lifetime.   Every place we stayed was in a great location allowing us to really tap into the vibe.  You planned so many phenomenal experiences, which we loved, and the online app was super helpful! It would not have been this epic without hiring you. Thank you so much!

Excellent Trip!

Excellent job. The constant updates were great as things shifted. Pulling off the awards dinner last minute was an awesome addition to the trip. Everyone had the best time. Kudos

Once we decided on our destination, I started looking at different resort options. I decided on Sandals as they had a number of different resorts in Jamaica. I did not feel comfortable planning a trip for 8 people, and found Caroline Nolan online as a Sandals travel agent. She truly made the whole process so easy! Anytime I had a question or concern, including the day before we left, she was extremely prompt in helping to get an answer and alleviate our concerns. Our stay at the Sandals Royal Caribbean was very enjoyable. Our rooms were very nice, even though we were tucked in the back of the resort. It was actually really nice to get away from the activity in the main part of the resort. We overlooked a pool/hot tub/bar area. Very quiet and enjoyable. The resort was very clean and everyone was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the main pool/swim-up bar every day. Then we would have a delicious lunch at The Mariner beach restaurant, or go to the island for jerk chicken, which was del

Thank you Caroline for such an amazing trip. Really appreciated you being there to help us pivot when we ran into the snow. The hotels and experiences were all amazing. Definitely one to remember for a very long time. 10/10 would love to work with you again in the foreseeable future.

Caroline organized my husband and my getaway to Madrid and Barcelona, and it was absolutely fantastic! She picked out the ideal hotels that matched our preferences perfectly and discovered amazing activities for us to enjoy each day. We had such a wonderful time. Thank you so much, Caroline!

Everything was great! I loved the Hotel Atlantico! We had a fabulous time...thank you for everything.

Caroline did it again! She continues to provide best in class service and put together the trip of my dreams. Already working with her to make the next trip become a reality!”

Caroline was hands down amazing and we are so grateful for her help in planning the vacation of a lifetime — our honeymoon! She was so kind and helpful and was always available to answer any questions we had - even when we were on our trip! Everything was so carefully planned out and it was such a blessing. All of her connections and experience truly shined through. She listened exactly to what we wanted out of this trip abroad and definitely delivered. It was the best vacation ever and we have already referred her to several of our friends! Highly recommend Caroline!!

Caroline was absolutely fantastic in planning our Hawaiian getaway.
From the moment we reached out, Caroline was incredibly attentive and helpful. We were traveling with two other couples, and she took the time to understand everyone’s interests and preferences. She was always available to answer our questions, provide recommendations, or assist with any unexpected issues. Her dedication, friendliness and professionalism made us feel confident and relaxed throughout the entire process. We have recommended Caroline to several other friends and family members and will definitely be calling Caroline for future travel needs.

We recently celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary in Tahiti, and it was an unforgettable experience, thanks to Caroline. After hearing exactly what we were hoping for, she had some great recommendations. We ended up staying at the Four Seasons in Bora Bora and The Brando in Tetiaroa. Both places exceeded our expectations.

Caroline’s knowledge about the islands was impressive. She provided us with great recommendations and insider tips that made our trip even more special. She even surprised us will little welcome amenities at both resorts including a photo of us on our wedding day. Anytime we had a question or needed something, she responded right away, which made us feel really taken care of. Her desire to provide us the best trip possible was clear from start to finish.

Caroline did an amazing job planning our trip to Antarctica for our 40th wedding anniversary. Her attention to detail and excellent communication made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Visiting Antarctica was the last continent on our list, and boy it did not disappoint. I highly recommend Caroline for your travel planning needs.

Caroline was fantastic to work with when we planned our trip to Antarctica in February. I initially tried to plan it myself but quickly became overwhelmed. Finding Caroline was a game-changer. Having been to Antarctica herself, she offered invaluable first-hand knowledge and expertise. She listened to exactly what we wanted and found the perfect company that matched our travel standards. She even suggested we spend some time in Buenos Aires before heading to the South Pole, and we’re so glad we did. Antarctica was incredibly cool, both literally and figuratively, and the entire trip was unforgettable. We felt well taken care of the whole time. I highly recommend Caroline for any travel plans!

Caroline planned our family trip to Italy to celebrate our daughter’s high school graduation, and we couldn’t be happier. We visited Rome, Florence, and Venice, and everything was spot on. Caroline’s communication was top-notch; she kept us in the loop and was always there to answer our questions. Her attention to detail made sure everything went off without a hitch.
Caroline was super friendly and made the whole planning process a breeze. She really understood what we wanted and customized the trip perfectly to exactly what we wanted. The experiences she set up were unforgettable, and the hotels were fantastic. She made sure that we had plenty of time to see and do, but also planned enough down time for us to go at our own pace. Caroline is a great travel agent, and I highly recommend her for anyone looking to plan a special trip.

Caroline planned an unforgettable girls’ trip to Greece for us, and it was amazing! We were looking for adventure and fun, more than a historical experience, and Caroline delivered. Her communication was fantastic, always keeping us updated and excited about our upcoming trip. Not only that, but while we were there, I texted her and asked if she could arrange a last-minute food tour, and right away, she had us booked! Two highlights were the private day cruise we took in Santorini and the cooking class we took in Athens where we learned to make traditional Greek dishes. She even found the coolest boutique hotels that perfectly matched our style and vibe. Caroline’s is so friendly and approachable. She really understood what we wanted and tailored the trip to fit our personalities and interests. We had the best time exploring Greece, and it’s all thanks to Caroline.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Caroline for our honeymoon, and she made our trip totally unforgettable. We traveled from Rome to Naples, and the Amalfi Coast, and every detail was perfectly planned from the private transfers, to the unique excursions to the incredible hotels she selected. She not only met but exceeded our expectations. Caroline’s excellent communication and friendly demeanor made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. My husband and I would highly recommend Caroline.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Caroline for our family trip to Greece, and we couldn’t be happier. From the start, Caroline’s communication was excellent. She was always available to answer our questions and provided detailed information about every aspect of our trip. Caroline was incredibly friendly and made us feel comfortable throughout the planning process. She took the time to understand our needs and preferences, ensuring our itinerary was perfectly tailored for our family. Our trip included Athens, Santorini, and Nafplio, and it was truly unforgettable. We had the best time exploring historical sites, enjoying stunning views, and experiencing the charm of each destination. Every detail was meticulously planned, and we felt well taken care of. I highly recommend Caroline for anyone looking to plan a memorable and stress-free vacation. We will definitely call Caroline for our future travel needs.

Amazing trip! I loved that we got a busy “do it all” part in Lisbon followed by a relaxing couple of days in Faro. Thank you for all the help!!! -Sydney”

Our vacation was so amazing. Caroline truly did a wonderful job. It was so nice knowing that she had taken care of all the details. Additionally, when we needed support during the trip, she was available to help us pivot - for example, one of our scheduled trains was impacted by a strike. She notified us the day before and we were able to get a different train. Had we not had that advanced notice, we would have been delayed considerably. I can't imagine planning a trip in the future without her help.

Thank you so much, Caroline! Everything was perfect and we will be using your services for a trip in the future! 😘

We had such an amazing time! Caroline was the best at fitting all our needs and making sure we enjoyed it all!

Caroline was super amazing to work with! She was incredibly friendly and personable as well as patient throughout the whole process. She was always quick to respond and more than happy to answer our questions throughout the whole process. We had a few issues with our trip and Caroline was there to be an advocate for us even after we got back home! I am so thankful for her time and care from start to finish! She has amazing suggestions and can help make your vacation your dream trip!

Working with Caroline was a dream come true. She listened to all of our ideas and was able to narrow it down to Hawaii. She gave personal insights into the island including booking a snorkel experience, hotels, and transportation. She made the planning stress free and was available throughout the vacation when the weather acted up.

Caroline did a wonderful job of booking inter-city transportation throughout the trip, as well as creating an itinerary that perfectly balanced "free" time to explore alongside booked activities such as tours and experiences while in each city. We utilized many of her recommendations (dining, shopping, sightseeing, bars, etc.) during our trip and were never disappointed with any of them. We told her exactly what we were looking for in terms of accommodations during our stays and she booked the perfect hotels in each respective city. Our trip was even better than we were hoping and that is thanks in large part to Caroline's hard work and dedication to planning the perfect trip for us and ensuring everything went smoothly while on it.

Caroline is curious and resourceful. We asked her to plan a custom trip and it was an area she wasn't familiar with. The local group she discovered helped us create a unique and successful adventure. We used them for our itinerary, including hiking, sightseeing and transfers, and for a local tour in a small city. A wonderful journey with Caroline's support.

I had randomly found Caroline online when I was trying to decide where to go for my big 60th B day! I knew I wanted to be in the nice warm weather on a beautiful beach. She was the best. Decided to go to Margaritaville Resort in the Bahamas. I had never been to the Bahamas before. Caroline got me hooked up with the greatest ocean view spacious room and made sure the resort knew I was there for my big 60th bday ! I decided I want to arrange my transportation from the airport to the resort before I got there. I was getting there early in the morning so I was hoping there was a market near the resort to pick up some goodies and stuff for my room as I reserved a studio. So I reached out to Caroline to arrange for my transportation.. and I wouldn't of even thought of - Caroline asked me if I wanted to have my driver stop at a supermarket on the way to the resort. That was the best idea ever I was traveling by myself at the beginning of my trip so that was super helpful!

Caroline was absolutely wonderful to work with. Even though we had to cancel our trip last minute due to a family issue, I will definitely contact her the next time we need help with our travel plans. I will also be recommending her to my friends and family. She is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. Thank you Caroline

Caroline was very helpful with our whole experience, and dedicated to making sure everything was perfect for us!

Working with Caroline was terrific. She was thoughtful and thorough and even handled adjustments to our schedule with ease. I look forward to working with her again when I'm ready for my next trip.

Caroline was extremely responsive and helped craft a great, weeklong Hawaiian vacation that was within budget for my family. We made the most of our time on Oahu and her knowledge of activities and locations helped us use each day to its fullest, while still allowing for time to just relax and recharge.

Caroline arranged a trip for my family of 12, including our kids, their spouses and grandkids! We wanted to go to an all-inclusive resort in Mexico for some sunshine and relaxation. If it wasn't for Caroline we would not have gone - I could not find a location/destination that fit our desires - but Caroline DID! She listened to what was important to us (our ages range from 62 to 16 mo. and everything in between) and she found several options, and presented us with pros and cons of each relative to our priorities!! When planning another family trip, my first step will be to contact Caroline.

I've had the privilege of traveling with Caroline both personally and professionally. On both occasions the care she puts into travel is second to none. Our friends rib her endlessly for her detailed vacation agendas (complete with weather forecasts). But we would be lost without her and her clipboard of fun.

Recently, Caroline orchestrated a trip for me and my family to the island of Kauai for my mother's 70th birthday. The home we stayed in, the flight schedules and excursions she booked were perfectly selected for our family's needs. I knew throughout our trip she was a text away if we needed anything all, complete peace of mind.

I’m someone that finds researching and booking travel stressful, so working with Caroline was such a wonderful experience from start to finish.

A happy traveler,
Bre

Caroline Nolan is the absolute best travel agent I have work with since starting to travel back in 1992. She is knowledgeable, personable, attentive to detail, communicative and a cost saver for the client whenever possible. I highly recommend her.

Very detail oriented and efficient

Very friendly and helpful. Consistently responded quickly

I had the pleasure of working with Caroline Nolan at 58 Stars Travel to book my company travel needs. From start to finish, my experience with Caroline was nothing short of exceptional. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and utmost commitment to customer satisfaction made the booking process smooth and hassle-free. She listened to exactly what we needed and put together transportation and accommodations that exceeded my expectations. She even went above and beyond by suggesting restaurants and activities that could be incorporated into the company retreat. The trip went off without a hitch and was absolutely stress-free.

Because of this experience, I asked her to plan a family vacation to Hawaii on short notice. Once again, I was so impressed with her thoughtful approach and quick communication. Similar to the business retreat, the vacation was fabulous and right on budget. I highly recommend letting Caroline lead the way on your next business trip or personal vacation.

Caroline did a fantastic job planning the accommodations for our men’s golf trip to Kohler, Wisconsin. She listened to all of the requests of the travelers and was able to find the best hotels that hit everyone’s needs. I was also impressed with how diligently she worked. She makes you feel like you are her only client. I will be using Caroline going forward for all of our travel needs.
