Pack Up + GoReviews of packupgo.com

The excitement of the mystery trip was amazing! Not having to plan or be the travel agent myself was great! We had dinners planned for every night and 3 activities leaving us plenty of time to tour around in the day. We were able to change a few of our dinner plans to lunches to accommodate some activities we planned ourselves. It was so easy.

What I love about Pack Up + Go is that it gets you out of your comfort zone, unintentionally. This last trip, I would have never picked Brown County Indiana as a go to vacation spot. I would have never tried Ziplining for my activity. Also, if you're conservative with your money like I am, it is so much easier to give someone your money to spend than it is doing it on your own. This was my 3rd trip and I will be doing it again.

A few nights in Philadelphia over the 4th of July holiday was my surprise trip planned entirely by Pack Up + Go. The best place to celebrate the history of our forefathers. The Kimpton Monoco hotel in Old City was very comfortable, and within walking distance to so many historical sites. I had my first Philly cheesesteak sandwich, and a slice of tomato pie on the walking City Food Tour. I first reached out to Pack Up + Go in March. The customer service was outstanding right through the end of my trip. I will definitely have them plan another trip for me.

Hi Pack Up + Go Team, I want to start by saying you did a fantastic job building suspense and delivering a polished, professional trip packet. Unfortunately, that’s where the excitement ended for us. We had a $1,700 budget for a 3-night, 4-day kid-free getaway with hopes for a moderate outdoor adventure and close dining options due to unpredictable weather. Instead, we ended up underwhelmed by both the accommodations and the activities. First issue: most key emails went to spam because they came from a new address—not ideal for a surprise trip. I only found them by chance the night before we left. Our destination was Charlottesville, VA, and our hotel—while well-intentioned—felt more like staying at a grandparent’s B&B than a romantic escape. The bed creaked, the décor was dated, and privacy was limited. Not exactly ideal for a much-needed couple’s retreat. The activities—while nice in theory—fell flat. The kayak trip was short and uninspiring, the show cave tour was pleasant but far from adventurous, and Skyline Drive, while scenic, was a passive experience. No real "moderate adventure" to be found. Meals were pre-reserved, but none included in the budget. Our hotel hosts actually suggested better dining options than what was planned for us. We appreciated the first night’s spot, but nothing stood out enough to justify the cost. Unfortunately, I now have to go back and tell them that while I was away I had a Sl$ttyRed Head followed by a Buttery Nipple and a Tongue in the Pants followed by an oatmeal cookie. Sounds like a raunchy exciting and raucous 1st night, except they are all alcoholic drinks. I don’t usually drink, but I was bored to tears and couldn’t make my own excitement bc of the damned squeaky bed After calculating expenses, we estimate only about $1,050 of the $1,700 went toward our actual experience—leaving a 38% cut for PU&G, assuming no discounts. That stings, especially given we’ve purchased around $2,500 in gift certificates over the years and spoken highly of you to friends and coworkers. In short, we loved the concept and the anticipation, but the execution didn’t deliver on value or experience. We expected a bit more excitement, some thoughtful adventure, and a setting that encouraged connection—not a squeaky bed in a house full of retirees. Sadly, I can’t recommend PU&G based on this experience. I hope this feedback is helpful in refining future trips for others. Best, Anthony & Melanie Damiano

Booked an easygoing outdoor road trip and loved our beautiful surprise location! Pack up & Go booked a guided hike for us and a hotel in a great spot with walking access to most attractions. Something I thought was strange was that we noted we were vegan and both locations on our road trip had great vegan spots but not one was recommended in our itinerary. We changed a dinner reservation made by the company for Italian food- (which is a notoriously difficult cuisine to work with for dietary restrictions) for a great local plant based spot walking distance from our hotel. Normally I wouldn’t complain but it was so easy to look up vegan spots it seemed like a company oversight.

Our pack up and go trip sent us to Philadelphia and I have to say we had an amazing experience. Our travel packet gave us really good information for our trip and it made it really straightforward with what we wanted to do. The hotel was great and having the uber voucher came in handy when we got tired from walking. We didn’t have to worry about what we were going to have for dinner since there were already reservations put in place. All the paid activities were perfect for us as well. Everything about this trip was so well planned so we were never stressed about planning what we were going to do. Thanks pack up and go for such a well thought out trip! It was everything we wanted and more!!

Our trip was a surprise- we opened our envelope at the airport. It was well organized and planned out. We had a ball in Philadelphia- over the 4th of July!!! What a great place and time to celebrate our anniversary and learn about our historic roots. Our hotel was within walking distance to almost all attractions. And we were able to take in a Philly’s game. We could not have been happier with our mystery trip!!

Knocked it out of the park once again! Location, activities, food. All just wonderful!!
