What People are Saying
Erica is the quintessential travel planner. My family and I have had several opportunities to enjoy trips planned by Erica and they have always been second to none. Most recently, Erica planned a getaway for our family to celebrate our daughter’s high school graduation. Everything, from our accommodations to meals, exceeded our expectations (please see a picture of the cake Erica arranged to be presented at the end of our celebration meal - truly spectacular!). We wholeheartedly recommend Travels by Erica to everyone!
