What travelers have said
Our daughter has worked with Erick a few times and recommended him to us. We could not be happier with him. The trip was epic with his direction. He was also available to us while we were on trip. A change to our itinerary came through email/text from Erick and we changed our route accordingly. Easy to get along with and I like how he insisted on having a phone conversation to take in the subtleties of what we wanted. Cannot say enough about Erick.
Gregory H.
Erick is very knowledgeable and helpful in planning the trip. He exactly understands what we want to do on trip and doesn't try to "sell" any products. He is very responsive and keeps costs in mind, while booking a vacation. I always recommend Erick to my friends.

Erick was very resourceful and was available to help us at any time. He made the changes we needed and suggested us great alternatives. If it wasn’t for him this trip wouldn’t have been possible! Thank you!
Nour S.
Erick was exceptional for our trip planner. He was so friendly and responsive and was very clear in his communications and made sure we always had up-to-date confirmations when anything changed, either through me wanting to change something, or when any portion of our trip was newly confirmed. He was so great to work with and helped plan the perfect custom trip for us within our budget and timeline. I could not be happier with our trip or how it was handled. It was a perfect experience.
Shawn H.
Erick was an excellent resource and his attentiveness to detail made the vacation and outstanding experience. He was even able to make changes, on the fly while we were in Costa Rica, as weather made it necessary. Thanks Erick!
