Everything You Need to Know about Pack Up + Go Recommendations

Traveling is one of the most exciting and enriching experiences we can have.

Whether you're exploring a new city or immersing yourself in outdoor adventure travel, taking a vacation is a great way to expand your horizons and broaden your perspective on life. With so many options and possibilities, you may not know what to do in a destination, which is what the Pack Up + Go Recommendations come in. The recommendations provided are made for your destination and include our picks for the best things to eat, drink, and do in your destination. Curated recommendations are included with every Pack Up + Go Trip Type.

Pack Up + Go Recommendations:

  1. Based on Your Interests

  2. Focus on Small Businesses

  3. Unique Layout


  1. Based on Your Interests:

    We will also always include the “must-sees” in your destination, but most of the recommendations included with your Surprise Vacation are based on the interests you select on the Pre-Trip Survey. The Pre-Trip Survey has more than 30 interests for you to choose from, including dining, shopping, and entertainment options! The more interests you select on the Pre-Trip Survey, the more recommendations we can provide. You can also inform our Travel Planning Team if you have any specific dietary restrictions or requirements, such as vegetarian, food allergies, kosher, and halal.

  2. Focus on Small Businesses:

    To ensure that you have an experience that is truly representative of the destination, the recommendations that we provide highlight small businesses and establishments that are unique to the city you are visiting. Our Travel Planning Team avoids large chain restaurants and establishments so that you can focus on getting a real local experience!

  3. Unique Layout:

    The Pack Up + Go recommendations are organized by category and will offer you several options within each category. These curated recommendations will allow you to “choose your own adventure” without having to spend much time researching on your own. Our travel recommendations allows you to plan your days effectively, ensuring that you don't waste time trying to figure out what to do next. With a clear plan in place, you can hit the ground running and make the most of every moment! Our intention with the recommendations is not to give you a set schedule that you must follow, but rather to provide you with a list of thoroughly vetted options for you to choose from. We know that it can be stressful scouring the internet for somewhere to eat lunch when everyone in your group is hungry, so we will provide you with incredible options to choose from so you can spend less time searching for what to do and more time having fun!


Don’t just take our word for it, hear about our recommendations from travelers just like you!

“The trip was absolutely amazing! Will 10/10 do this again! Everything felt very personalized, but we still had the freedom to do what we wanted when we wanted. I was nervous about not knowing where we were going and getting enough recommendations but we were literally given 4 pages of places to go and see! Was worth every penny! Such a cool experience to do especially if you're just wanting a quick getaway that is easy!”

Pack Up + Go recommended places and things to do that the locals were recommending. They listened to our desires and gave us more than enough recommendations to keep us as busy as we wanted to be on our trip. We loved not having to do the research ourselves!
