traveler reviews

“The trip to Denver was amazing, we had a reservation for a restaurant at Rioja the first night and the food was superb! It was nice to have lots of options each day with suggestions on what things to do! We will definitely be packing up and going again soon!”

Travelers: Kelly + Geoffrey

Trip Type: Plane Trip

Destination: Denver, CO


“Our restaurant reservations and sail activity were perfect for our likes. We loved being on/near the water. The restaurant knew it was our anniversary and brought a free dessert. Great attention to detail based on our interests from the travel survey. It was super relaxing since I didn’t do all the planning. I would definitely go again another time.”

“Philadelphia wasn't a place we'd even considered as a destination, but we LOVED it and will definitely go back again. Even though we didn't stop moving, there was still a ton we didn't get to! The food tour was a great way to start the trip, we had a fun time at the Phillies game, and the Eastern State Penitentiary was interesting - but the very best part about our trip was the people we met. Philadelphians get a bad rap, they're actually really friendly, extremely proud of their city, and willing to share insider tips on cool places to go!”

“This was the best way to kick off our marriage. It took the stress of planning away from our honeymoon and allowed us to just enjoy being together. We had fun exploring all the stops along the way.”

Destination: Charlottesville, VA


“We loved our trip to Seattle! The reservations made by Pack Up + Go were great and highlighted things we like to do - a chef-led food tour through the Pike Place Market, a Seattle CityPASS that let us choose what sites we wanted to see, and a great Italian restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. The information packet was full of activities we could choose from....including excellent food choices! We felt like we ate our way through Seattle!”

“My husband and I had wanted to plan a Babymoon prior to life-changing in a big way. I was over planning things and he stumbled upon Pack Up + Go so we decided to try a driving trip. The trip was phenomenal and so well thought out from stops along the way to Uber gift cards for navigating the city to beautiful accommodations. We enjoyed tons of pre-reserved activities and meals, many of which we never would have tried if we planned the trip on our own. We'll definitely be doing another Pack Up + Go trip, but next time we fly!”

“The envelope Pack Up + Go provided for the trip was chock-full of wonderful information. I loved that they made reservations at restaurants, booked tours (and even a massage!), and gave me an Uber gift card. I extended my trip by one day and the folks at Pack Up + Go took care of everything. I would give Pack Up + Go 200/10 as a rating!!!”

“Best trip yet! Getting away (and not having to worry about a single plan or detail), exploring and eating my way through a new city, and learning something new about the area I'm visiting has become something I look forward to every year.”

Destination: Boston, MA


“Pack Up + Go planned the most perfect anniversary trip for my husband and I. It was a romantic, intimate setting that was everything we never knew we needed. The accommodation was above and beyond and every recommendation was spot on. We cannot wait for our next adventure!”

Trip Type: Outdoors Trip

Destination: Hartwell, GA


“My husband and I loved our second Pack Up + Go trip that we booked to celebrate our anniversary! We enjoyed all of the unique dining options that Louisville offered, especially our meal to celebrate our anniversary. Our favorite activity was the Mega Zip Lining in the Caverns! It was a wonderful experience!”

Travelers: Brittany + Alexander

Trip Type: Road Trip

Destination: Louisville, KY


“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 that 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!”

“It was very exciting to go on a vacation that was not overthought on our end. No planning, no research, no stress! We waited until the airport to open the envelope, and the surprise was perfect! So many friends were up texting us at 6:00 am to see what it said. From day 1 until the return home, from black car transportation, to excellent hotel location & accommodations, site recommendations, to tour highlights, I could not have asked for a better trip! We will be back!”
