Fantastic National Parks trip for our family
Reviewed By Rae - Ann Arbor MI | Traveled to Redwood National Park ~ California ~ USA
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!!!
Eric Jensen responded
"Thanks, Rae! I'm looking forward to working with you on future adventures."
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

BEST FAMILY VACATION OF OUR LIVES!!!
Reviewed By Katrina Q. - Marietta, GA | Traveled to Yosemite 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.

An Excellent Tailor-made Trip
Reviewed By See America Guy - Seattle, WA | Traveled to Zion National Park ~ Utah ~ 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

A great trip without the hassle of planning
Reviewed By Beth - Sammamish, WA | Traveled to Zion National Park ~ Utah ~ USA
Eric promptly planned a trip for us when we asked; he suggested additional places to see, and found us great lodging. He adjusted the schedule, sent us a map, and checked in with us shortly before we traveled. He took care of detail of renting a car and returning it at a different site. We were delighted with the service he provided, and plan to contact him again to plan another vacation.

The Trip of a Lifetime
Reviewed By Rob's Family - State Road, NC | Traveled to Zion National Park ~ Utah ~ USA
Eric was easy to work with and made the trip planning effortless on our part. We traveled to Zion National Park, Antelope Canyon and Grand Canyon. He did all trip planning including airline tickets, hotel reservations, rental car as well as tickets to Antelope Canyon . He organized it on a spreadsheet for easy sharing with all members of our group. He had personal travel experience in these areas. I highly recommend Eric to help with your next trip.
