Beverly Hills, California Travel Agent
Food & Wine
Food and wine tell so much about a region and its people. Be it the hearts of Napa Valley, Sonoma, Paso Robles, and Santa Barbara in California, a luxurious tour of the Tuscan countryside, a luscious deep-dive into Bordeaux and Burgundy, a full immersion into Sicilian culture with a glass of Nero d'Avola, or closer look into the Assyrtiko wines of Santorini and the Tsardana of Crete -- all of these experiences tell a story that begs to be heard, and puts you at the center of it all.

Thorough and wonderful!
Erica was super patient, Very helpful, and just generally awesome in handling all the details I needed when I went to Egypt. I was completely terrified and overwhelmed about this trip and I was able to rely on her to make sure all of my lodging was in place, that I had transport arranged, and that I was safe. I'm so grateful to her!

Look no further!
Erica is wonderful, she knows the best places to visit and stay and she makes your life so easy by handling everything. Very quick to respond and extremely helpful. I will never attempt to plan my own trip again as she gets deals and perks that I could never find on my own. 10/10 highly recommend!!!!!!

JUST AMAZING
Just AMAZING ??. Erica booked us the most fabulous trip to Italy for 5 days, and then booked us a cruise for 7 days! Everyday was better than I could have ever imagined. The hotels were beautiful and very accommodating. My daughter and I will have these beautiful memories forever. Thanks for the memories Erica ??

A retrip from the past
Erica helped plan and set into motion a revisit trip to Israel some 57 years in my bucket list. She got me to places I requested and more. I also wanted to go to at least 1 other country and for my budget she managed to get 2 other countries in. If there were any problems, and there were a few, she was available to me day or nite which I appreciated. The guides she got us were terrific, esp the one in Israel. I would certainly recommend Erica to my friends and family, which I already have done, and would not hesitate to use her talents the next time I travel. Thank you Erica for a great trip

Erica won't rest until you have your perfect trip!
Erica is a pro! We began our travel plans with Erica with the thought of going to Croatia with one of our two daughters, while the other was with school. Erica put together two INCREDIBLE packages that were so amazing, we decided that if we were going, we needed to have both our girls. Back to the drawing board. Then we were onto Spain and to Lisbon. Erica found great hotels that she had personally experienced and helped us find amazing places. After we looked at flights, which were outrageous, we went back to the drawing board AGAIN. At this point Erica could have been completely irritated with us (she may have been- but she never showed it!) and pieced together a third itinerary with the enthusiasm of a person going through a third trip in about a week. But she didn't. She was awesome, funny, professional and put together a beautiful and really fun trip for us with fabulous hotels and tours! She worked through all of our details with ease and is wonderful to work with!

We will always have Greece thanks to Erica!
My husband and I traveled to Greece (Santorini, Mykonos and Paros) last week and had an amazing adult vacation thanks to Erica! I reached out to Erica, literally at the last minute, to help me plan my birthday trip to Greece that was logistically turning into a nightmare. I had been to Athens and Capri years ago, but had no real point of reference on which island would suit our needs. Erica literally turned my travel planning angst and nightmare into a fairytale adult vacation.
My husband and I traveled between the islands with ease, always had a driver waiting, our hotel rooms were amazing and there was always a sweet little note reminding us that Erica was a WhatsApp text away if we needed her - no matter the 7hr time difference.
Midweek on our vacation while having cocktails at a beach club in Mykonos my husband proclaimed that we should use Erica to plan all of our vacations from now on. He also told me that we are buying a house in Paros, thanks to Erica's recommendation to stay in Pisa Lavadi as opposed to Naoussa while in Paros. So it's safe to say she nailed it!! All of her recommendations, her description of the islands, dealing with me changing my mind at the last minute and my diva complaints; she was an absolute professional but also treated me like a FRIEND.
If you are like me and think that you don't need a travel advisor, I am here to tell you that you do. I'll go even further and state YOU NEED ERICA!
I'm just hoping my husband doesn't exhaust all of our travel funds on this summer house in Paros so Erica can plan our future family vacations to Turkey and Thailand.
We will always have Greece. Thank you Erica for the memories.

Best European Getaway ever!
Erica killed it when planning our 3 week European getaway this summer. Not only were our accommodations incredible, but Erica made sure to stay in contact with us and accommodate to our every beck and call!
