While new to the professional side of travel planning, I bring years of personal travel expertise, a keen eye for detail, and a commitment to crafting personalized itineraries that fit every traveler’s style. Whether you are chasing thrills at a world-class theme park, relaxing on a sun-soaked cruise, spying on exotic animals on a luxury safari, or exploring a new destination, I will handle every detail so you can focus on what matters most: making memories that last a lifetime.

A travel agent you can trust when the chips are down
Reviewed By Dannie - Chicago, IL | Traveled to Alaska | USA
For years Scott has been our go-to travel guide. Every year we cruise with our family of 10. Getting everyone there from across the country on time is no small feat! This summer after an unforgettable Alaskan cruise we returned to Vancouver to discover Air Canada was on strike-most likely for the next whole week. All alternative flights were booked. People were paying huge sums just to get a ride overnight to the US. Scott told us to go enjoy Queen Elizabeth Park while he found a way home for us. That day he unearthed a small commuter airline and booked us on the last 2 seats to Portland, and we were on our way home the next day. You can trust Shumba travel to be there for you when things don’t go as planned!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Wonderful Mississippi River cruise
Reviewed By Daune - Winfield, IL | Traveled to New Orleans | Louisiana | USA
Shumba Travel has provided excellent service in our ocean cruises, river cruises, hotel bookings, flights and rental cars. It has been a wonderful feeling to turn everything over to Scott and rest confidently that every detail will be covered. All we have to do is sit back and enjoy. We cannot say enough good about his professionalism and personal attention to making our dreams a reality. -Duane -Dec., 2025

A Wonderful River Cruise
Reviewed By Bante - Winfield, IL | Traveled to New Orleans | Louisiana | USA
It was our first river cruise and we wanted to try it out on the Mississippi. We flew to New Orleans where the cruise line put us up for the night and then picked us up for the cruise. All was terrific and especially the on board lectures about the historic sites and significant personalities of that area. All was well organized; food great; staff always personable and helpful; an upbeat atmosphere the entire time; met wonderful people.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
