Specializing in Cruises, Tours, & All-Inclusives
Hello, I'm Keith Shafer, your guide to cruises, tours, and all-inclusive resorts. I have lived and traveled extensively around the world for nearly 50 years and decided to put my expertise to use by starting a travel agency. I have personally worked with several major cruise lines, hotel and resort chains, tour companies and other suppliers. My wife Ilene and I have hosted cruise groups and continue to host groups in the Caribbean and Mediterranean. Hawaii, the Caribbean and Alaska are just a couple of our favorite tour and cruise destinations. Having lived in England for five years, I bring that and valuable experience to our agency as well as tours in Turkey, Israel, Jordan and other parts of the Middle East. If you’re looking for the best cruise for you, your significant other, or your family, I’m your go-to guy to get you there.

We had a great time on our vacation. Barnstormers Travel took great care of us and went the extra mile in finding everything on our wish list for our 15 year wedding celebration - 3 days in New York City and a 2 week cruise from NYC to Galveston. Thank you Keith & Ilene for making our trip feel so special.

I would recommend Barnstormers travel [email protected] to anyone. They do a great job in finding information that could help us with our vacation. Be it cruises, land packages, Tour by Local and more. I would use Tour by Local again. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area.
Thanks Keith and Ilene.

A trip we've wanted to do for several years finally came to fruition, thanks to Barnstormers aka Ilene and Keith. There is no way I'd have tackled planning this trip alone! And, we're not done... more to come.
