First Time To Europe!!!
Working with Shannon has been amazing! Planning my own travel is daunting and overwhelming to me, and as someone who is juuuust starting to travel extensively, being able to hand her the reigns and know that she's planning the trip as if she were taking it herself, has been such a huge relief. I never have to worry with Shannon booking my travel! She makes it incredibly easy and smooth! All I have to do is essentially show up and take the vacation!!!

A beautiful and seamless summer family trip
Shannon helped us plan the Italian leg of our family summer euro trip. She was extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with, also so responsive and happy to answer any questions. She helped us to rent a car and plan our stay in Desenzano del Garda, including hotel stay, site-seeing recommendations and restaurant recommendations. The car rental was seamless and the service provider made it quick and easy. They even had it ready early for us. The hotel in Lake Garda was excellent, Villa Rosa Hotel. The hotel itself was beautiful, clean and the service was excellent. The included breakfast was also far beyond our expectations, it was a beautiful buffet. We also really liked that it was like a 5-8 minute walk to the busier town area so it was quieter, but also not as hot. Overall we were very pleased to have worked with Shannon and would gladly do so again!

Globus Enchanting Italy - 10 day trip to Rome, Tuscany, Florence and Venice
Working with Shannon was the absolute best, we first talked and told her what I'm interested in doing and seeing, wine and food focused, celebrating 70th birthday and going to Italy which has been on my bucket list since my 20's. She listened to me and set up an unbelievable trip which I will never forget, checked in on me during my trip answered all my questions, set me up with wheelchair assistance at each airport, she went over and above to make sure I would have a trip of a lifetime and I'm so grateful

Relaxing and adventurous trip!
Shannon planned a wonderful and fully packed itinerary to Sedona. She included something for everyone and there was still time for everyone to be on their own to do what they wanted. Absolutely love that I didn’t have to plan anything myself and was just told when and where I needed to be. All the sights we visited were spectacular! So grateful for all of Shannon’s research and hard work putting this trip together!

Amazing customer service!
Working with Shannon from Dorian Destinations is amazing. For my trip to Brazil she arranged my transfers to and from the hotel, set me up with amazing tours that far exceeded my expectations - and we're much more personal and informative than the one others in my group we're able to book. She also saved me thousands on my hotel and flights. She followed along during my trip ensuring that each detail that she had arranged went off without a hitch. I highly recommend going with Shannon and Dorian Destinations for all your vacation planning!

Amazing European Vacation!
We just returned from an amazing 2-week vacation throughout Italy and Paris. I couldn’t have done it without Shannon’s help! Throughout the planning process, she took into consideration what my husband, son and I wanted to see in each city. She reviewed the cities we wanted to visit and created an itinerary that made sense.
The hotels she booked for us were quaint, beautiful, and centrally located. She booked fantastic tours for us as well. In Rome, she reached out to me about the train worker strike before I had even heard about the strike! Something that would have put a wrench in our travel plans if we hadn’t used a travel agent, went off without a hitch and we didn’t miss a beat.
I am the type of traveler that prefers to research/book everything myself, but this trip was so much fun without any stress. This is the first of many vacations to come where I will reach out to Shannon for help planning.

Amazing trip to Turkey
This was the first trip we took on our own. Shannon was so easy to work with from the beginning listening to everything we wanted and suggesting amazing hotels and tours. She was with us every step of the way, texting to make sure everything was going according to plan.

Italy!
Okay so… my fam and I went to Italy for 3 weeks (literal dream), but the highlight was 1000% the Amalfi Coast. Shannon planned the most insane day ever. We had our own private boat pick us up in Sorrento and cruise down the coast—straight-up movie vibes. We swam through the Blue Grottos in Capri (unreal), had lunch in the cutest spot in Nerano, and stopped in Positano to shop and explore.
What made it even better? Shannon totally got that we were a big group (10 to 45 yrs old lol) and somehow made sure everyone was happy. The day ran so smoothly, and anytime we had questions or needed help during the trip, she was right there. Already counting down the days ‘til we book our next summer getaway with her. ???????

London Trip!!
London:
My mom and I did a quick New Year’s trip to London and it was such a vibe!! Shannon and Franco planned everything—from the perfect hotel (super central, we could walk everywhere) to all the must-try restaurants. We didn’t have to stress about a thing.
The best part? We scored amazing seats for the NYE parade ?????? The whole weekend felt super seamless and so well thought out. 10/10 recommend having them plan your next trip—seriously made it unforgettable! ?????

Barcelona with the girls!
I recently booked a trip to Barcelona with the help of Shannon at Dorian Destinations, and it was truly the best trip of my life. From start to finish, Shannon made everything seamless. She helped me choose a beautiful hotel in a very central location, which made getting around the city so easy and enjoyable.
She also arranged private transfers to and from the airport, which made traveling stress-free — especially after a long flight. As a sweet surprise, she even had champagne waiting for us in the room when we arrived!
There was a last-minute change with the hotel, and Shannon handled everything quickly and professionally, making sure I was taken care of and happy with the switch.
Her recommendations for restaurants and museums were also super helpful in planning out our days — and she even helped us get reduced ticket prices on everything!
I can’t wait to plan my next adventure with Shannon — she truly went above and beyond.

Shannon is truly exceptional! She takes all the stress out of planning a trip and makes the entire process smooth, personalized, and fun. From the moment you book until the day you return, Shannon stays in touch with thoughtful check-ins—before your trip, just before your flight, when you land, and even before you head home. Her attention to detail and dedication to your experience are second to none. If you want a seamless, tailored travel experience, reach out to Shannon ASAP—you’ll be glad you did!

FLAWLESS
We cannot thank Shannon enough for planning our amazing trip to Munich, Austria, and Prague during the Christmas holidays on such short notice. From start to finish, everything was flawless! She made sure the locations of our hotels were perfectly situated, right in the heart of the cities, making it easy to explore. The tours she recommended were spot-on, offering us unique experiences we wouldn't have found on our own. Flights, transportation – all smooth and well-organized. Even the car rental was in such close proximity to our hotel, within walking distance, which was incredibly convenient and allowed us to spend more time enjoying the city rather than worrying about logistics. The Christmas markets were wonderful and Prague was especially breathtaking. Shannon's expertise truly shined through, and we couldn’t have asked for a better trip.

The best trip ever
I had an amazing time on a culinary tour of Italy with Shannon! She crafted a perfect itinerary that blended cooking classes and visits to charming small towns. Each class was hands-on and authentic, teaching us how to make pasta, sauces, and bread like the locals. The towns we visited were beautiful, and Shannon’s recommendations for local restaurants and hidden gems made the experience even more special. If you’re looking for an unforgettable culinary adventure, I highly recommend Shannon—she’s knowledgeable, passionate, and made the whole trip seamless!

Culinary Belt in Italy Retreat Fall 2024
Attending the Culinary Belt in Italy retreat in the fall of 2024 was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the picturesque landscapes of the Italian countryside set the perfect backdrop for a deep dive into authentic Italian cuisine. The hands-on cooking classes were incredibly well-organized, and the local chefs were not only talented but also passionate about sharing their craft. I learned how to make everything from fresh pasta to regional specialties that I’d never seen before.
The retreat offered a perfect blend of learning and relaxation, with plenty of time to explore charming villages, savor local wines, and immerse myself in the culture. The small group setting made the experience feel personal and enriching, and the connections with fellow food lovers were just as memorable as the meals we created.
This retreat didn’t just teach me how to cook—it reignited my love for food and inspired me to bring Italian traditions into my own kitchen. I left with new s

My sons and I had an amazing time in Italy partly because Shannon suggested places for us to visit and created a detailed itinerary for us. I are so grateful for her patience while putting this trip together for me and my sons.

Our first European vacation
Shannon planned the most amazing trip for us! We’d been talking about visiting Italy for years and didn’t know where to start. She met us to discuss the kinds of things we wanted to do and came up with a proposal of the different cities and sites she thought would be suited to our taste.<br/><br/>She took care of EVERYTHING! Our flights, transportation from the airport, and trains from city to city. In each city, we stayed at beautiful historical hotels and Shannon planned tours and sites and offered recommendations for restaurants. She was always available to answer any questions we had. <br/><br/>We couldn’t be more pleased with our vacation and the memories we’ll have for years to come.

Hiking the Swiss Alps
Shannon made Switzerland, SWITZERLAND. From the very beginning, my wife Kristi and I were excited when we started talking to Shannon about Switzerland. She took the time to explain the whole trip thoroughly, giving us options of places to stay, places to eat, and things to do. We heard the Swiss train system takes some getting used to, but Shannon set us up completely, telling us exactly which train to take and which stop to get off on. The purpose of the trip was for Kristi and I to hike a section of the Via Alpina through the Swiss Alps, stopping at little towns along the way. Shannon did her homework on the hotels that were nearest to the trail, affordable, and had all the right amenities. She exceeded my expectations! From amazing hotels, to real life "Mario Kart" in Grindelwald First, to E-bikes in Lauterbrunnen, to 3 hour cruise on Lake Brienz. Shannon, we can't thank you enough for make this trip an unforgettable one!
