Traveler Reviews
“The Chicago Aquarium offers exhibits we've not seen at other aquariums. And the architecture, inside and out, far surpasses others we've visited. Hands-on exhibits were quite enjoyable and a professional photo here is a must. The Chicago Historical Museum was an unexpected surprise. Here, we learned so much about the city's fascinating history, the reasoning behind the beautiful skyscrapers, and much more. Could have spent much more time here. Visitors must not fail to walk the fabulous Riverwalk. So much to see and do! So little time. A return trip is definitely in the future.”

“Pack Up + Go has encapsulated the magic of spontaneous travel with the assurance of a meticulously planned itinerary. Our surprise trip to Burlington, VT was nothing short of fantastic! Pack Up + Go is genuinely top-notch in curating tailor-made adventures. Accommodations: Our lodgings were terrific. The location, ambiance, and service surpassed our expectations. They understood exactly the kind of place we’d love to stay. Excursions: Each day was filled with activities that catered to our interests, yet there were plenty of delightful surprises. Every excursion was thoughtfully planned, and we got to experience the heart of Burlington. Highlight: The schooner trip with the Whistling Man Schooner Co. was an unforgettable experience. The sheer joy of just showing up and being treated to such a beautifully curated adventure without lifting a finger in planning is the luxury we didn’t know we needed. Culinary Delights: Each restaurant recommendation was a hit. Our taste buds were treated to some wonderfully exquisite meals, but the dinner at Honey Road stood out. The spicy feta with fried capers was a game-changer, and it was the best hummus I’ve ever tasted. Itinerary Balance: I sincerely appreciated the harmonious blend of scheduled activities and free time. It gave us the perfect chance to explore guided attractions and wander on our own. Extras: The area’s detailed list of additional activities was great. It gave us the flexibility to choose further adventures and optimize our experience. Communication: Pack Up + Go’s team was exceptional in their communication. The trip was well-organized, and they were always available to ensure everything went smoothly. It’s comforting to know there’s a professional team watching out for you during your travels. Looking Ahead: Given the stellar experience we had, we are undoubtedly looking forward to many more surprise trips with Pack Up + Go. Their ability to blend the unexpected with the perfectly planned is a unique offering in today’s travel landscape. All in all, if you’re looking for a fun and well-planned getaway, Pack Up + Go is the way to go. They’ve elevated the travel experience by merging the thrill of surprise with the comfort of a well-organized trip.”
