“We had wanted to visit Austin for a long time and what a cool way to do it, with Pack Up + Go's help! The hotel was PERFECT, the drinks were delicious, and the restaurants that were recommended were exactly up our alley. We tried so many new things and even found a few new things we didn't even think we'd enjoy, but ended up loving! We will absolutely be taking another vacation with Pack Up + Go.”

“The overall experience was awesome and the surprise was great. Even me as a planner, I felt no anxiety waiting until the day of and you guys provided so much good info and even meal reservations that takes away the immediate reaction of having to figure out what to do quickly after finding out where you are traveling to. Such a fun experience.”

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

“Being able to surprise my husband was the absolute best! I'm like a kid at Christmas when it comes to keeping secrets so for once, I was able to give him a true surprise gift! Everything was laid out perfect, from the recommendations to the restaurant reservation! Everything was thoughtful and planned perfect for us! Can't say enough how awesome it is to travel without worrying what to do or where to go!”

“Because I am six-months pregnant and considered high-risk (depending on who you talk to) cross-country/international adventures aren't the most ideal, but one thing I failed to consider was a staycation. Staycations are incredible and can be ideal for times like these because they allow you to getaway and experience a vacation without traveling too far, while keeping you safe and they also boost the local economy, helping those businesses and industries that depend on tourism to survive and have taken a huge hit.

We recently had the opportunity to have a *surprise* Staycation planned FOR US by Pack Up + Go and it was the perfect combination of adventure and getaway. It was so nice to have someone else plan the staycation, since I have so much going on as a busy mama of 2.5, and my only responsibility was to pack our bags and to show up.”

“This was our 3rd trip with Pack Up + Go.  We were a little nervous because of the strange times we’re living it, but even amidst COVID restrictions in the area we were able to find plenty to do!  The hiking and biking opportunities were fantastic.  Recommendations were on point, as always.  And we had fun exploring!”

“We had a total blast at the actual yurt site with a great pool and the beer garden was so nice with swings, games, and free beer and wine from 4-8PM while we were there. We loved the recommended hiking and even heard that the reservation Pack Up + Go made for us was super hard to come by so grateful for that day pass to Pedernales Falls! We really enjoyed kayaking at Canyon Lake and appreciate the reservation made on our behalf because we otherwise wouldn't have driven out there to try it. By trusting Pack Up + Go, we have enjoyed going on adventures we just wouldn't normally have done or found!”
