About Me

Beautiful Basel
Beautiful Basel

58 Stars Travel has created a unique small luxury group experience. We curate journeys that are expert led to destinations all over the world.  Most recently, we've been working with chefs who curate an 8 to 10 day trip with us that they join and lead to destinations all over the world.  These chef led trips have explored Iceland, Ireland, France, Peru, Morocco, Italy and South Africa with more planned each year. The small groups, generally no more than 16 total, explore the local culture along with the food scene with our chef leaders. 

In addition to culinary, we are launching small groups curated and led by fashion, art, architecture and wellness experts.  These small group trips will travel the regions selected with a focus on the expert's background. For fashion, we plan Milan and exploring the art and fashion of this famous city.  For wellness, we focus on yoga retreats to destinations world wide.  

If you'd like to join one of our groups or lead one of the groups, please reach out to us so we can send you additional information.  Our recent travelers (many repeat travel with us) have loved the hands-on and expert led approach as well as the small group size.

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.
