“We loved our trip. The recommendations of activities was perfect and we really got to experience Denver. Our accommodations were centrally located so we could get anywhere in the city quickly and the Uber gift certificate helped us experience Red Rocks. Amazing!!!”
Travelers: Tim + Carrie
Destination: Denver, CO
“My husband and I had a great time visiting Savannah for our first Pack Up + Go trip! Neither of us had been there before and there were so many great things to see and do! We loved that we didn't have to spend hours of our lives researching and planning and that we were just able to enjoy the trip for the vacation that it was. The activities that were planned for us were perfect little asides to our day - not too much, not too little - and Pack Up + Go nailed it on the head with each of our dinner reservations - they were exactly the types of places that we would have chosen for ourselves!! So glad we went for the 4 day/3 night trip cause even that wasn't enough time! We can't wait to do it again!!”

Destination: Savannah, GA

Travelers: Meghan, Jessica, and Angela
Destination: Washington, DC
“I feel the best part of my experience was how well the destination matched everything I could dream of! I stayed right on the beach and the hotel had its own pool and bar. The dinner reservations were great nightlife spots to eat at.”

Destination: Miami, FL
“Myself, my sister, and our best friend do a girl's trip every year. We never can think of anywhere new to go so we always do the same thing. But this year we decided to do a Pack Up + Go trip and be adventurous! It was so fun to get together and fill out the questionnaire then wait in anticipation for our departure date!!! Once the date came we met in the AM and opened our envelope to find out we were going to Louisville KY! We then got on the road and started our road trip to Kentucky. Pack Up + Go had so many wonderful suggestions and plans for us. And our hotel was BEAUTIFUL! We had so much fun and can't wait to plan another trip asap.”
Traveler: Amanda, Ashley, and Gina
Destination: Louisville, KY
“In this crazy world, I couldn’t bring myself to plan a vacation that we so desperately needed. Being pretty type A, I was nervous to say the least to turn over the control, but I’m so glad I did!! This was one of the best trips we’ve ever taken! It was so nice to relax and not have to worry about a thing. We may never travel without Pack Up + Go again!”
Travelers: Kelsey + Steven
Destination: San Diego, CA
“My husband and I took a week-long trip and it was SO MUCH FUN. We would have never picked Philadelphia as a vacation spot, but we fell in love with the city on Day 1. During the week, we went to Eastern State Penitentiary, saw the Liberty Bell, the Mutter Museum, and so many other important spots in American history! We also ate a lot of cheesesteaks…Philly is a beautiful city and we can’t wait to go back!”
Travelers: Sarah + Tyler
Destination: Philadelphia, PA
Our surprise trip was to Chattanooga, TN! We went for my boyfriend’s 22nd birthday and they picked the perfect spot for us. We stay in the amazing, secluded cabins with a hot tub and a beautiful view, grant summit cabins. They also planned two outdoor activities for us, a tandem swincar tour through the mountains, and an underground tour of ruby falls. We stayed out on the night of his birthday and went bar hopping in downtown Chattanooga and the nightlife was amazing. Pack Up + Go planned the perfect birthday getaway for me and my boyfriend.”
Travelers: Madison + Jerry
Destination: Chattanooga, TN
“Charlottesville was amazing! Who knew that this mountain town was filled with so much local charm and history. My family really enjoyed learning about the African American experience and their contributions that were made to this quaint enclave.”
Travelers: Shenise, Arlene, and Weldon
Destination: Charlottesville, VA
“This trip was AMAZING and exactly what we wanted to celebrate our 10 year anniversary! We explored the USS midway, kayaked the La Jolla caves, went to the San Diego zoo and sea world, had AMAZING tickets to a Padres game, and ended with a sunset sailboat tour through San Diego. This trip was way more than expected!”
Travelers: Kayla + Brian
Destination: San Diego, CA
“Our destination was a slam dunk for our personalities and interests! We were so surprised, but so pleased! The town was so full of history, wonder and beauty, and we had the best time! Customer service with Pack Up + Go is out of this world, and they were happy to help when we found ourselves with a delayed flight home. We can’t wait to do another trip!”
Travelers: Chelsea + Tracy
Destination: Savannah, GA
“We had such a great time, each recommendation gave us something to do if we couldn't think of anything, and we definitely got a taste of the city. Trust the food recs! They do not disappoint.”
Travelers: Grace + Ezekiel
Destination: Seattle, WA
“This was a great way to reunite with my Wife after being on active duty for 25 years and deployed most of the time. 16 years without any quality time was too long. Now that I'm retired, at 46, we'll be doing more trips with you...especially now that I see you’re in my hometown! Yinz are the best.”
