Since we started working with Eric, I've been recommending him to everyone I know. He made everything so easy, from making sure he knew what we needed, creating itineraries, helping with decisions, and sending us notes and tips for things to see along our road trip. Our trip started in Sacremento and ended in Seattle, with stops at Lassen, Crater Lake, Redwoods, Oregon Dunes, and Portland. It was a gorgeous road trip made 100% more enjoyable by the fact that I didn't have to plan it myself. I will never plan another family trip on my own ever again -- Eric is phenomenal!!!
Rae - Redwood National Park ~ California ~ USA
Working with Eric was AMAZING. We will never ever try to plan a family trip without him. We are a family of 6, and our 4 kid range in age from 11-22. We knew we wanted to see the National Parks in California, and let him go with ideas and locations. He mapped our trip down so precisely that we didn't have to think about a thing--just enjoy the beautiful parks! And he even made a map of our travels and included recommended stops for pictures and eating! He booked our passes to Alcatraz and made reservations for us at the restaurant in Yosemite. Our family has done a lot of traveling over the years, and this trip was by far the most incredible we've had as a family. Eric was truly the best! And super affordable! He even looked for ways to save us money on our hotels and car and tickets.
Katrina Q. - Yosemite National Park ~ California ~ USA
My wife and I wanted to tour the National Parks in southern Utah. Eric tailored the trip perfectly to our requests for what we wanted to see and do, and how we wanted to travel. High points were a cabin on a buffalo ranch he found for us near Zion National Park and a last minute opening in a lodge at Bryce NP. He is already working on our next trip for us
