Global leisure, expedition, and family specialist
I have always been passionate about travel. As a kid I would be in the car with an oversized map navigating my parents across destinations unknown. Over the years I have been to all corners of the earth and now I want to bring my experiences and expertise to you. I have made it my mission to create bespoke adventures, family vacations, premium and luxury experiences, and expedition cruises. Prior to this I worked in Hollywood, where I would create dynamic travel itineraries with countless moving pieces that would function seamlessly within the rigorous demands of a film production. I have traveled to over 50+ countries and I have previously lived in Los Angeles, London, and Athens. My specialties include vacations and adventures in Greece, Antarctica, Patagonia, Japan, Easter Island, Tahiti, Italy, Bali, New Zealand, Jordan, Kenya, Machu Picchu, and all of Europe. With my extensive experience and expertise, I am able to create custom itineraries for any destination in the world.

A perfect Mallorca experience
Reviewed By
Makis S. - Deerfield, IL | Traveled to Balearic Islands ~ Spain ~ Europe
I never would have picked Mallorca as a vacation destination. My wife likes the beach, I like adventure. Gilded Travels created the perfect one-week itinerary that had us exploring the beautiful beaches, hiking through rustic mountain villages, and dining at incredible restaurants on the island. No day felt too full or too empty. It was the perfect balance. Neither of us felt like we needed a "vacation from our vacation." I definitely recommend Steven and Gilded Travels and will be using them again!

Tina K - Chicago, IL | Traveled to Patagonia ~ Argentina ~ South America
Steven was amazing to work with. I’m an anxious traveler and he made the process so easy! I’ve always wanted to go to Patagonia but didn’t even know where to start. Steven took control and created an itinerary for me that I could’ve never done myself. We worked together to tweak it a bit and next thing you know I’m climbing a glacier in Argentina! 10/10 recommend his services- WORTH IT!

LBACE - Mishawaka. IN | Traveled to Greece ~ Europe
My wife and I worked with Steven for a trip of a lifetime in Greece. Steven went out of his way to provide service in recommending destinations, things to do and activities at each island we visited. We enjoyed incredible accommodations while exploring Greek culture, food and beverage. This was a memorable journey, which wouldn't have been so easy without his assistance. we highly recommend Steven for help in planning your getaways!

Trip of a lifetime!
Reviewed By
Nancy P. - Arlington Heights, IL | Traveled to Europe
My husband and I planned an ambitious European trip and Steven made it happen. He was able to take our wishes and plan an itinerary which we thoroughly enjoyed. He worked with us as we fine tuned our plans, gave us options to choose from, and answered all of our questions. We were grateful that prior to our trip he checked in to be sure we had taken care of the items we needed to handle. During our trip we experienced a train delay which caused us to miss a connecting train and Steven was able to give us guidance so we could reach our destination. It was a pleasure to work with Steven, he showed real interest in our plans, and checked in once we returned. Thanks Steven!
Steven Callas responded
"It was such a pleasure to help craft this trip for you! Thank you for your kind words. I look forward to planning another trip for you in the future!"

Family Trip to Alaska
Reviewed By
Kate S - Chicago, IL | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Steven was great to work with. I found him through a Google search; I needed help with a 14 day trip to Alaska. We are a family of five that travels a lot. I usually do all the planning on my own because I really enjoy it. With such a huge trip, though, I was hoping Steven could help me with flights, logistics, ideas, and reservations. I wanted to focus on having a good time and not get bogged down with worrying that I had forgotten something, messed up something, or left a child at home. :) , He succeeded! His recommendations were spot on. What he said was worth it - was worth it. , It was also so great to not stress that I had messed something up. I also had some last minute changes - hotel location switch - and he handled that really well., I'd highly recommend Steven - have already given his name to a few friends - and wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

Hiking the Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu, Peru

My journey on the Salkantay Trek started with a two and a half-hour drive from Cusco, Peru to Mollepata, a small town situated at the base of the trail. Our guide suggested we buy any last-minute supplies such as trail snacks, water, nuts, granola bars, and fruits. I packed everything I needed to

Cusco and Rainbow Mountain, Peru

Despite being after the end of high season, Cusco was still bustling with people. November marks the start of Peru’s wet season, which means fewer people on the treks to Machu Picchu, but it’s not so wet that it makes for an unpleasant experience. I was prepared with waterproof hiking boots, a ra
