I travel a lot, but I must say that this was one of the best trips I have ever been on. The attention to detail and the planning was impeccable. This was truly a trip where I did not have to "use my brain" and I felt that I was truly on a vacation. Erica is very meticulous and you see how she takes the needs of her guests seriously. I had a blast and will definitely travel with her again!

This was not my first group trip with Erica, and it will not be my last! Her organization, planning, and attention to detail is what brings me back. Her group trips give a taste of different experiences which makes for a rewarding experience. She definitely takes her job seriously so I'm able to relax knowing things are taken care of. Thank you Erica for all you do!

This was my 3rd time going to Crop Over (and 4th trip overall) with Erica/Elite Eventz. The itinerary is ALWAYS on point with a good balance of activities and chill time. The communication before the trip is helpful to build connection so you don't feel like complete strangers when you arrive and the communication during the trip is on point. There are so many great things I could say about my trip, but I'll sum it up with 1 word - intention! Its clear that Erica is very intentional with everything surrounding this trip from the welcome dinner, to the villa assignments, to the variety of activities, all the way down to the farewell dinner. People say you get what you pay for, but in this instance you definitely get that and more! Bottom line - there's a reason I've continued to travel with Erica/Elite Eventz year after year... this wasn't my first trip and definitely won't be my last. I'm already looking forward to booking my next Elite trip.

Wow just wow this trip was amazing. Even with a large group Erica planned and executed everything perfectly. From the very first day all 10 of us connected. Came in as strangers and walked away with life long friends.

Erica single handedly planned a trip that for the first time in my life allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone and simply enjoy myself!! I truly enjoyed spending time with everyone on the trip. Erica’s attention to detail is top tier! She is one of the best in the business!! I would travel with her anywhere!! Can’t wait until next year!!

I’ve been lucky enough to travel to Barbados with Erica Christine Travels for the past three years, and each trip gets better than the last! From the moment you arrive, everything is perfectly handled luxurious villas, seamless transportation, and exclusive access to the best Crop Over fetes. The days are filled with incredible food, nonstop fun, and meeting amazing people. You might lose a little sleep because there’s just too much excitement to slow down but trust me, it’s worth it. You can always catch up on sleep when you get back home! You arrive as strangers, and by the end, you’re leaving with lifelong friends. If you’re looking for more than just a vacation something that will stay with you forever Erica Christine delivers the experience of a lifetime!
