Why Clients Trust E-L-K Travel Co.

  • My wife and I had never been on a cruise before. We wanted to do something a little different for our 30th anniversary. I saw that a friend of mine had used E-L-K travel Co. I contacted Donovan and asked him to help me decide if a cruise was right for us. He walked me through everything necessary to make it a fantastic time! My wife and I will definitely contact Donovan next time we plan any travel! With the available discounts and extras that he is able to offer, I am sure that we would have spent more money trying to do it ourselves and been frustrated trying to figure out what we were doing. Thanks for all the behind the scenes work that makes travel enjoyable for your clients!
