4. Pre-Planned Activity or Gift Card

Enhance your adventure with a pre-planned activity or a gift card. Whether it's a scenic tour, a cultural experience, or rideshare gift card, we've added an extra layer of surprise to make your trip even more memorable. In addition to the activity that is guaranteed with your Trip, after we’ve purchased your accommodations (and roundtrip airfare for Plane Trips), our Travel Planners will use your remaining trip budget to purchase additional activities, tickets, or gift cards that align with your interests!

5. Dinner Reservations

Savor the flavors of your Surprise Destination with confidence. Pack Up + Go secures dinner reservations at local hotspots, offering you a taste of the region's culinary delights for each night of your vacation*.

*On rare occasions, we can't book dinner reservations because of scheduling conflicts (a food tour that goes til 6 PM or a flight that lands after dinner time, etc.) or because of unavailability (smaller destinations without bookable spots). If you have any questions or concerns about your Trip, please reach out!

7. Any Applicable Taxes

No hidden costs here! Your Pack Up + Go adventure includes any applicable taxes, giving you transparency and peace of mind.


Once you complete the Pre-Trip Survey, you can sit back and relax (or immediately start guessing where you’ll end up)! Our Team will choose the destination and provide a framework for your vacation where you’ll be able to choose your own adventure, selecting activities and dining options that align with your interests from your personalized recommendations. Our approach allows you to immerse yourself in the local culture, savoring the spontaneity of discovering a new destination. From hidden gems to unique dining experiences, our Trips are crafted to empower you with choices, ensuring every moment is tailored to your individual taste. 

Keep in mind that it is always our goal to make sure your Mystery Trip has as many inclusions as possible, but our vacations are not all-inclusive, and you should plan to pack some extra cash for delicious meals + exciting adventures during your Surprise Vacation!
