About EG Koch Travel
Two people, a love for travel, and a desire to share that joy with family and friends.
Eric & Grace Koch
We're Eric and Grace — a couple from Elk Grove, California who stumbled into travel advising and never looked back. After joining Gold Rush Getaways as affiliated advisors, we found ourselves with access to an incredible set of travel tools, portals, and industry discounts.
But here's the thing: we're not looking to build a giant agency or book trips for strangers. We decided from the start that we'd keep this personal — our services are for people we actually know. Family. Friends. People we care about.
We believe the best trips happen when someone is genuinely invested in making them special. That's what we bring — not just booking, but real thought, real care, and a personal touch that a big agency simply can't offer.
What We Stand For
Personal Relationships First
We're not a faceless agency. When you reach out, you're talking to Eric or Grace — people who know you and genuinely want your trip to be great.
Honest Guidance
We'll tell you what we actually think — whether a destination is right for you, if a deal is truly worth it, or what to skip. No upselling, no pressure.
Access You Can't Google
Our Gold Rush Getaways affiliation gives us entry to portals, rates, and supplier relationships that regular travelers and most booking sites can't access.
Stress-Free from Start to Finish
We handle the details — research, booking, coordination — so you can spend your energy on anticipation, not logistics.
Memories Over Transactions
We care about the experience, not the commission. Our goal is that every trip we help plan becomes a memory you talk about for years.
Family & Friends Only
We made a choice to keep our circle tight. That means every trip gets our full attention — not just another booking in a queue.
