Erica was literally the reason we ended up on our trip.I had an inkling of an idea and she made it happen so fast at a deal we couldn't say no to!!! She went back and forth with me for a while on options, out truly it took her 20 minutes to to put together a variety of options within our budget that made it so easy for us to choose from. Her insight on destinations made it easy for me to make a decision and her feedback was nothing but honest. We aren't booking trips any other way moving forward. She made my life beyond easy and went above and beyond for my family.

Greatly recommend Erika as your travel agent to any destination!! She is full of knowledge, and her customer service is amazing!! We let her know our destinations, budget, and she was able to get us an itinerary quickly!! Thank you for everything that you did for us and for always answering all of our questions since it was our first time traveling abroad.‍

Erika helped us plan our spring break trip to Mexico City with our 6- and 3-year-old and I am so grateful! In a city as big as Mexico City the options for accommodations and things to do are truly endless. She helped us narrow down our options and provided suggestions for age-appropriate activities for our kids (they LOVED Papalote Museo del Niño, one of her many ideas!). She booked our hotel and various excursions for us and just made the whole thing so easy. Thank you, Erika! I can’t wait to get started on the next trip
