Pack Up + Go Reviews: Friend Getaways
Pack Up + Go on a Trip with your BFFs.
Whether you’re needing a kid-free getaway, time with your besties, or simply can’t choose a destination to vacation in, we have you covered. But don’t just take our word for it. Take it from these past travelers who Packed Up + Went!
#DidYouKnow: If each member of your group is departing from different airports, it can get tricky to coordinate one destination - so we'll do it for you! When you're checking out, you'll need to include each traveler's departing airport, so we'll know where everyone is coming from and find somewhere for you to meet in the middle (you’re welcome 😉).

Traveler Reviews
“Austin, Texas was the perfect Girls Weekend. We were able to try the AMAZING food, see all the cool street art, experience the great outdoors, and meet some interesting people in restaurants/bars on 6th and Rainey St. My heart was so happy to make memories with my friends in one of the coolest cities in the US!”
Travelers: MacKenzie, Rebecca, and Elizabeth
Destination: Austin, TX
“LOVE, LOVE, LOVED it! Everything was amazing: the transition, the communication, the hotel and dinner reservations, EVERYTHING!”

“We had a fabulous time in Portland! The food/beverage tour that was booked for us was a great way to spend a few hours and see a lot of the Old Port area. The ferry to Peaks Island was a nice way to see some of the gorgeous natural scenery, and we are so glad we took the advice to Uber to the Portland Head Lighthouse. Looking back at our photos, I have an equal amount of food and scenery pics which is the mark of a successful girls' trip! Thanks for another great vacation!”

“We loved our trip so much! Staying in downtown Phoenix in a hotel was something we never would have chosen but it gave us so many options within walking distance. There was a bar with live music right across the street which was probably my favorite part of the trip! We also loved being able to grab a drink and hang by the pool and relax!! It was a perfect girl’s weekend and we didn’t have to do any of the hard work!”

“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.”

“Girls trip to get away and unwind from professional our professional lives. The anticipation of where we were going was 50% of the fun. We hired a limo to get to the airport and had our driver open the envelope to reveal our destination once we arrived at the airport. Loved Austin, loved our itinerary, loved the suggestions in our envelope, loved the location of our hotel, and loved the entire experience. The perfect combination of spontaneity and structure!”

“Pack Up + Go makes everything so, so simple. They picked a destination right under my nose that I had overlooked that turned out to be a little gem of a town and picked amazing guides for our tours. 14/10 Would recommend to everybody!”

Destination: Ojai, CA
“We had so much fun on our first girls trip & we would totally recommend the experience to others! We loved the restaurant recommendations and experiences that were booked for us, all places that we likely wouldn’t have even considered if we planned the trip on our own. We loved the third ward area in Milwaukee and the Bay View neighborhood - both should be stops on your trip there! Our accommodations at the Westin were top-notch, amazing service from everyone we encountered! I wish we would have done a little bigger budget and another day longer.”
Travelers: Jessica, Lori, Amanda, and Amanda
Destination: Milwaukee, WI
“It was so fun giving someone an idea of things we enjoy and them planning something, especially for us! I enjoyed the freedom of not having to stress and over-plan a whole trip! We found out where we were going the day of, and it was great because there were recommended activities, places to eat, and shopping ideas, but we also had plenty of room to discover other things in the area! It’s also the best option for a short getaway when you don’t really care where you’re going, you just want to go!”
Travelers: Zoe + Hannah
Destination: Atlanta, GA
“My sister and I were looking for a girls’ trip getaway, and honestly it turned out to be even more than we could’ve ever imagined! Everything was planned out perfectly, from the flights to the hotel, and all of the suggestions made for such an amazing trip. Some highlights included our hotel itself, where we enjoyed the rooftop pool and bar, along with a jazz club right inside, walking around the French Quarter, and even getting caught in the rain on our way to one of the best restaurants we’ve ever tried! The list could go on and on, but I’m already trying to figure out when I can plan another trip again! Thank you Pack Up + Go!!!”

Destination: New Orleans, LA
“For some busy moms who are constantly running a three-ring circus at home, Pack Up + Go was just what the doctor ordered. We told them what we like and what we don’t like, and they took care of everything. It was wonderful to just be able to relax and have fun with the plans they made for us, without having to do all the planning and research ourselves.”
Travelers: Amy, Holly, and Nicole
Destination: Chicago, IL
“The thrill of not knowing where you’re going and not having to plan hardly anything is super appealing. So much fun to do with girlfriends while exploring a new city!
One of our travelers had a delayed flight. You guys were amazing in getting her on the very next flight available.”
Travelers: Mai, Wendy, and Alexis
Destination: Philadelphia, PA
“I absolutely LOVED this trip. It was a girl’s trip that was so perfect we've decided to make it a bi-annual trip.”
Travelers: Shelondria + Keyausha
Destination: Sedona, AZ
“Our girls’ trip to Austin was the perfect way to catch up with one another after nearly 18 months of not seeing each other (one of us is a doctor and the other a teacher so our COVID years were complicated, to say the least). The restaurants and activities that Pack Up + Go recommended were perfectly aligned with our interests and we never found ourselves without something to do. From watching the bats at the Congress Ave Bridge to kayaking with the Austin Rowing Club, there was plenty to do to suit all types of travelers. Vespaio + Enoteca’s happy hour was excellent and the ice ball cocktails and bacon-wrapped apricots at Swift’s Attic were to die for! We are so glad we got to experience Austin on our trip!”
