She has been through in obtaining a clear understanding of our travelling goals, investigates a selection of well researched options and presents them to us and finds answers to our many queries.

Reviewed By Jennifer - Kansas City, MO | Traveled to Nassau ~ Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Erin was so very helpful in planning our family vacation. She gave me wonderful tidbits of info on each resort she presented us, pros and cons of many things that I would have never thought of. She kept in contact thru email throughout the whole process. She is very on top of everything. I would recommend her to anyone planning a vacation whether it be a short trip or a long one. She has been to so many places and can give you wonderful do's and dont's on locations. Can't wait to have Erin start planning our next trip!!!

Best river cruise
Reviewed By European traveler - Kansas City, MO | Traveled to Russia ~ Russia & Northwest Asia
We booked our Waterways of the Czars River Cruise through Erin. She secured the exact dates we wanted on the Viking Akun (rated #1 among the four Russian Viking river boats). We loved the cabin she was able to get for us at the front of the boat where it was very quiet. She handled all the necessary transfers and excursions for us making this our most relaxing European trip ever! Without a doubt we will book through Erin again!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
