Pack Up + GoReviews of packupgo.com

Pros: Easiest trip I've ever "planned" for. The company is wonderful at communicating before and during the trip, and were very thoughtful in using our preferences for planning activities. I also appreciated that dinner reservations were made but we were not locked into them, as long as we let the restaurants know in advanced. It was also very thoughtful that we were given our flight location and time a bit earlier than usual, since our "home" airport is 3 hours away, and the flight out was very early in the morning. Cons: Mostly inconveniences and a couple minor issues of miscommunication, but no major cons. Firstly, our return flight was crazy early (6 AM), due to a misinterpretation of when I wanted to return "home." There was also an instance where we were told the wrong meet-up location for a tour, and we kept playing phone tag with Pack Up and Go and the tour company (but worked it out). Our hotel was lovely--aesthetically pleasing, convenient location, and I appreciated that it wasn't a cookie-cutter design, but for such a long stay, a hot tub or some other amenities would have been nice. We also ended up canceling most of the dinner reservations, either because the menus didn't appeal or because they were not conveniently located to us or to anything else of interest. Very few of them seemed to highlight what the region was known for. Lastly, the location (Portland, Maine) was a lovely surprise, but said location during early May was not really conducive to an 8-day trip. There's not a whole lot to do or see outside of the Old Port and Arts District, especially not before Memorial Day (nor is anything outside those areas easy to get to by foot or reliable public transport, though we did have an Uber credit). People kept mentioning how "walkable" downtown Portland is, but it's actually quite hilly, and many of the roads are uneven and paved with bricks or cobble stones. I would recommend using this company, and may use it again, myself, but would probably "cheat" and open the envelope a few days early so I could be a bit more prepared.

Fantastic time! It was our second trip. Hotel was great, activities were great food was great. If you haven’t tried this and can be spontaneous, do it now! You won’t regret it!

Fun!! Organized very well! Would do again. Choice of lodging was perfect. Suggested itinerary, things to do and places to eat was very helpful when going somewhere you have never been before.

I have heard about Pack Up and Go a few years ago and have been wanting to try it since! I'm so happy that I did! What a fun experience! They answered all my questions right away whenever I had a question. They booked activities and dinner reservations and really found stuff that we would enjoy and we loved it!

We forgot to mention we're not morning people so having to be on the road by 9 was a stretch. That's on me. We didn't get driving till 10:30 which meant we had to drive directly to our first activity and skip the pit stop suggestion as well as checking into the hotel first. The first activity was an open air train ride to the 25th Annual Maple Sugar festival in Hadley. Sadly this was a 20 minute ride in the woods with minimal views and the festival was a farmers market. There was only 1 table selling syrup and no other mention of maple. Certainly didn't feel like a festival so that was a bit underwhelming. We did have great tacos from a food truck and found some items to bring home. The hotel was great - great service, amazing food and room. I wish we had more artsy activities in the area. Horse racing and the military museum isn't really of interest to us and thats a huge part of this town. We went to both museums anyways but I feel like for the cost of this trip we could have done something more interesting. We did choose to go to the Skidmore Tang Museum which was great. The Spa Park massage was amazing. Overall it was nice to have a short getaway with new experiences, and we made the best of activities that weren't really our thing, but perhaps I wasn't clear enough outlining my interest. This is our 3rd trip with PUG and I assumed our past trips info would be available to the planner to help outline what we do like. Saratoga felt a little lacking for the price tag. If we didn't have a great hotel I think I would have been more disappointed. Also the famous mineral springs are really just historic water fountains in the parks that you might otherwise just walk by. The hotel, food, and massage were the highlights but I feel like those things had little to do with the location. In the future it would be super cool if the customer had the option to send examples of what they're looking for and get some feedback on what sort of price tag to associate with that kind of trip as well as if its doable within dates/travel type. Perhaps if I selected plane travel we may have had a more bougie experience.

We had such a great time! The communication was great. We didn’t have to do any planning whatsoever. It was amazing to just show up to the airport and the uber credit to get to and from our hotel was a detail that was much appreciated. Having a loose itinerary with a few planned things and a big list of recommendations was perfect. I felt like the place that was picked for my friends and I was spot on. We’ll definitely do it again!

My “You Pick Destination” was amazing. Everything planned was fun and fit our preferences. The hotel selection was great as well. customer service and the pre-trip communication kept me at ease.

Besides having a wonderful time in Savannah, Georgia I want to say how impressed we were with your company! You went above and beyond in being available. I like a company that does what they say when they say it! Savannah is a fun city! All or reservations were in order and your other suggestions as to what to do were top notch!
