I've done 2 trips with Erika and Francesco to 2 different locations in Marrakesh and one to Sicily and must say that the magic carpet does exist and all is possible. They have always been extremely helpful in providing helpful and friendly information so I could spend a month traveling by myself in Morocco and stay almost 3 months in... More

I have been on 4 trips with Escape to Shape and look forward to a new location every year. I wasn't originally keen on organized travel, but Erica, Francesco and the great folks at E to S proved me wrong. They organize the perfect trip for someone that doesn't have time to plan the perfect getaway and wants to stay... More

Yet another amazing experience. The Destination Detox team was spectacular. Not only were we totally pampered all of us met or exceeded our fitness/weight loss goals. I can truly say there is no other way to travel than with Erica's Escape to Shape. The team analyzed each of our food intake, excercise etc before arriving and had an individual plan... More

I went to Cambodia and Istanbul with E2S. This is a truly wonderful way to travel, especially if you're going it alone. Erica is a terrific host who puts together trips that are culturally relevant in every way: local food, art, shopping and more. But it's also a true vacation. You can do as little or as much as you... More

I went to Cambodia with Escape to Shape in February 2012 and it was AMAZING. This was my third Escape (and that should tell you how wonderful these trips are if I keep coming back!) and I loved every second. From the accomodations (an outdoor shower?! huge bed? sofa to relax on?? a little porch to sit on and watch... More

I do not think there is another travel company out there that manages to cater to individuals who enjoy exploring new cultures while staying healthy and fit and at the very same time......living in comfort and even luxury! Erica and Francesco have managed to pull off an amazing feat of giving their customers a tailored program with many extras(an authentic... More

I had recently booked a trip with Escape to Shape to Morocco, and was supposed to be on the trip this week. However, when I got to the airport to fly to Marrakesh, my flight arrival time had changed, so I emailed Erica Gragg to let her know what time I would now be arriving so she could make sure... More

I wanted to take a few minutes to clear up a few issues in regards to this negative review. First, the Escape To Shape Marrakech trips were cancelled this year due to the unfortunate terrorist bombing that occurred in the main square of Marrakech, Jemaa el Fna, days before the guests arrival. This was not only shocking but also greatly... More

Escape to Shape was recommended to me by a friend who knew I enjoyed more active vacations. The trip to St Petersburg Russia was everything I expected: the hotel was lovely and comfortable, the yoga and pilates classes great for all levels of experience, the food wonderful, and the sites fascinating. But don't let the phrase "active vacation" scare you.... More

Just returned from Escape to Shape in Buzios Brazil and had a wonderful experience. The accomodations were spectacular - at a private estate on the water at a location we never could have found on our own. The daily yoga classes were very professional and welcoming to beginners and experts. The meals were carefully planned to balance healthy eating and... More
