Italian Plans and Fun
Reviewed By Kc - Sun Lakes | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
She knows her stuff about getting people where they need to be at and on time to participate in the activities of a group. She works the time lines and air transports to accommodate this which we know is difficult to say the least.
We've already scheduled something else with Cheri and will probably schedule another. Having everything handy (telephone numbers in case of what ever) and names are great back ups.
She is the best we have ever experienced and made trip planning not scary.

Cheri Knows the Travel Business
Reviewed By Susan - Sun Lakes, AZ | Traveled to USA
I first met Cheri Sigurdson in 2009 when she booked me the best cabin for my Panama Canal cruise. Twelve additional trips later she always knows my questions or finds the answers as I trust her knowledge implicitly. I always leave on a trip knowing I have everything I need for a great trip and I consider her a friend as well as my travel agent. In addition Cheri and Tammy write a monthly "Ask Your Agents" column for the local Sun Lakes Splash offering invaluable tips and information for future travel. This shows the extra effort Cheri puts into her work and she is a real asset to El Sol Travel!

Another Fabulous Trip
Reviewed By Kerry & Svana - Tempe, AZ | Traveled to USA
Hi Cheri,We got home yesterday from Savannah & Charleston tour with Trafalgar. Todd, our travel director was super. The "Tales of the Old South" tour is descrived as one of Trafalgar's 'leisurely tours. Lots of free time too. I think I like a little busier pace, but it was nice to relax. We loved Savannah a lot. Hilton Head was pretty slow paced )and yes, we climbed the 114 steps to the top of the lighthouse. Charleston was a charming city as well,
Our "Be my guest" experience was a shrimp boil at a privante residence on Tybee Island. We felt that the tour was another Trafalgar 'home run.' I think you would like both Savannah & Charleston.
We appreciate all your efforts on our behalf, and we'll be in to plan next year as soon as we decide on our next destination

Great trip
Reviewed By Debbie - Tempe, AZ | Traveled to Maui Island ~ Hawaii ~ USA
We wanted to go to Maui for a 25-year anniversary celebration. We booked it for May, 2019, but a few days before we were to leave I broke four bones in my foot and severed a ligament. I contacted her as soon as I knew I was to have surgery while in Hawaii, and she used the travel insurance and changed everything to December. She delivered the travel documents, answered many questions as she's made that trip herself multiple times. It was fabulous, although eight months later I'm still hobbling a bit! We're considering making this an annual event.

Every Detail Taken Care Of
Reviewed By Cyndy H - Sun Lakes | Traveled to Europe
This is our second trip we've booked with Cheri. Both river cruises to Europe. Cheri did a fabulous job and is the reason we were able to just enjoy the anticipation of the cruise while she attended to every detail. Because of Covid, we had to have our flights rebooked three times. Every time she made sure we had the best options for us right down to our preferred seat assignments. We always were aware of updates and developments with our trip (again many due to Covid) as Cheri touched based with us often. We can't give Cheri a higher rating than 5, but we sure would if we could. She's great to work with.

For example she arranged a special airport shuttle in Paris when she noticed that the tour shuttgles would not get us to the airport sufficiently early.I highly recommend her, and we will continue to use her services for future trips.

Over the past six or seven years we have used Cheri exclusively as our travel agent and adviser. She has an excellent understanding of all phases of travel, but for us, her knowledge of cruising has been the most beneficial. She has consistently matched our needs with a keen ability to get us a “bargain” price at both cruises and lodgings. She is pleasant and always available to her clients. We have traveled frequently all over the world and I can say without any doubt, we have found Cheri the best person to choose for all of our travel needs. I am sure this would hold true for anyone.

Reviewed By The Painter - Sun Lakes, AZ | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
Hi Cheri,We had a wonderful time in Alaska and we all appreciate everything you did to coordinate our various needs.
Our weather was beautiful and we got a great picture of Denali. All of our other excursions were really fun! As hoped, we saw humpbacks, orka, bald eagles, moose, and bear.
The food on the ship was ok, not great, but I've found that the case on most of the large ships we have sailed on. I can't help but compliment the youth center on the ship. If you have clients traveling with grandchildren, I recommend Princess to them.

Cheri is our knowledgeable agent!
My wife and I have done quite a few cruises using EL SOL TRAVEL in the past and the main reason is because of Cheri Sigurdson who is our travel agent there. She is a great person to work with, she gets the best rates available, fills out all paperwork, including passport info and has baggage tags, transfers and folders ready to go. All we have to do is be at the airport on time. Cheri is just a very happy person to work with and be around plus very knowledgeable. Paul and Joanne Budrick

My wife Susan and I have been using Cheri Sigurdson at El Sol Travel ever since we moved to Sun Lakes ten years ago. Without hesitation, Cheri has handled every one of our many excursions throughout the world with care and expertise. She is quite knowledgeable with every aspect of the travel business and it is reassuring to know that she looks out for the welfare of each and every client and always with a smile and an even disposition. I would not consider using anyone else for my (our) travel needs. I give Cheri high marks on all aspects related to travel and give her permission to use this endorsement as testimony to her competence and dedication. Regards, Michael and Susan Carter
