I heard about Eric Goldring and his travel agency many years ago from a cruise messaging site. I'd…read morebeen following his blog (https://goldringtravel.com/blog/) for many years because it is so informative and his travels are so wide-ranging. Back in July 2020 I contacted Eric to book a cruise for the fall of 2021 with friends. He answered all my questions about that cruise line, which I had never sailed with before, and provided details that my friends (who had cruised that line before) were unaware of. We unfortunately all canceled that cruise but I have since booked two other dream destination cruises with Eric, one for 2022 and the second in 2023. He walked me through all the options and recommended cruise lines and ships that he felt would match our expectations most. I look forward to our upcoming cruises and hope one day to meet Eric in person since he's so personable on the phone.

Sorry, a little late on the review...However, I tasked Amanda for ANOTHER adventure, a family…read moreGreek adventure in June and she did not disappoint! We wanted to do a 7-day cruise on Virgin Voyage but also wanted to spend some time in Athens prior to the cruise. First off, we have 2 adult children living in 2 different states. I wanted to be able to meet somewhere and then fly together to Greece. It was great that she was able to coordinate the different flights, time zones, etc to get us all there. We all met in Toronto and was able to fly together to Greece. Once there, the hotel she chose was fantastic! Centrally located in the City, the Acropolis view from hotel room and restaurant were amazing. The cruise was amazing and the suites she got us and the kids were perfect! Although we had separate rooms, we shared a balcony and it was on the correct side of the ship so we were able to see ports as we arrived. The transports she coordinated from the airport to the hotel, and then to the embarkation, and then back to the airport was very satisfying as I did not have to worry about timelines and/or standing in line for transportation. She was even able to have flight times back to the USA from Athens so we were able to have a "last final" together at the airport before returning on separate flights. There is no way I could've done this on my own and we are all thankful for Amanda's expertise!

Our family have been using Amanda's skill for a few years now. The latest adventure was a 9 day UK…read moretour and then a 3 day Paris / Disney to celebrate my wife's and I 30th Anniversary. From the beginning Amanda has always been responsive to my inquiries, is very patient as I had 20 questions on the different tours and wanted to make sure it was the right one. She has great insights and gave fantastic recommendations. The final UK tour was fantastic, we had a great tour guide, very energetic and she made sure everyone knew where to go and knew where to be. She also made herself available 24/7. There were a lot of moving parts to this trip. And even though we were in a different time zone, Amanda made herself available for us when I had questions or if there was an unexpected schedule change. She never failed to respond to any of my questions. This gave us peace of mind knowing that Amanda was there with answers! The wife and I have always felt that Amanda was our "Personal Travel Agent" because that's how she makes you feel!

Every detail was planned to perfection: from having the house stocked with groceries before we arrived, to lunch vouchers on the mountain so that my clients could be on their own schedule if they wanted to, Mel thought of everything and executed with perfection. She even gave the trip a personal touch by leaving us homemade cookies (although I wouldn't expect that for every trip she plans! :) ) which was incredibly thoughtful. If I plan another group trip to Tahoe I will certainly use Mel again, and recommend you do as well!

These trips have been on Silversea and Seabourne, each a 5-star line. She wrangled great rates and good suites mid-ship better than we could have done. Mel is incredible. Her personal service and attention to every detail is rarely found. Flying to our second cruise we got delayed in the middle of the night due to a medical emergency on board. It was past midnight. Called her and by the time we landed at 8a.m. in NY she had re-booked our flights, made two hotel reservations in the Carri bean as we chased the ship for two days. We will always "Leave it to Mel."

Thank You for all your help. I definately would not have gone on this trip without Janice's help…read more I love to travel, hate to make arrangements. I contacted the cruise line who said 'sorry no balconies'. As clostrophobic as I am the trip was cancelled. Janice not only got me a balcony, with an upgrade for the same price, but arranged airfair, insurance and a extrodinary hotel! Prior to the trip I received a very professional notebook with all the travel information. If I had questions they were answered within two hours (usually less). Janice is beyond professional.

What a great stay we had at The Cedar Glen Lodge. My wife and her cousins planned out this whole…read morecousin and theirs kids trip and they all decided to book it here and glad they did. We had a total of 30 family members there and took almost the half of the place. That was awesome. For our cabin,we had Cabin 15. It's a one bedroom with a king bed with a full kitchen, fireplace, pull out couch and a bathroom with jacuzzi and shower combined, oh and also central air conditioning. FYI, not all rooms are the same, some of her cousins don't have a kitchen nor air conditioner just a fan and a mini fridge. So do your research. The good part is the place is also dog friendly but please make sure to book a dog friendly room. Each cabin and Lodge have there own assigned parking space. It also has a Tesla/ electric car charging spot The property has a outside picnic area with two barbecue gas grill and a fire pit. It also has a pool but when we were there there was under renovation. The staff was very welcoming and attentive. Especially the night shift staff Liam. He was absolutely fantastic. He would provide us trash bag for our trash we had our barbecue at night and also provide the marshmallow and cracker for s'mores making for the kids every night. Overall, it was an enjoyable little mini vacation stay and on last night we even spotted a bear roaming past the property. We would definitely stay here again and Thanks again to Liam for his service for making this even better. I personally highly recommend stay here.
