Our Story

When Olga Ramudo, Cristina Jacomino and Rosa Maria Delgado left Cuba as children shortly after the Revolution, they never thought they would be partners in Express Travel, one of the top travel companies in South Florida.

As adults, they enjoyed their roles as wives and mothers, and then pursued their professional careers. As part time consultants at the same travel agency, they became friends, and their volume grew such that it warranted for them to venture on their own and open their own company in 1989.
