Mary was amazing! Just being able to connect face to face we fed on each others enthusiasm and love for the country until a beautiful framework of not one but 2 potential trips emerged. (Actually, she gave me other options as well!) Based on our lively discussion she introduced another location in Italy I had never considered and ultimately, - that's where I'm going . She listened to me and not only helped me plan the trip I had envisioned but came up with an even better vision for me! Talking with her saved me about 5 hours of going in the wrong direction. She is such a delight and super knowledgeable and she gratefully shared her vast experience for me to enjoy. I

Marcy was incredible. Her enthusiasm is infectious and I am more excited than ever to visit Chatanooga. She is truly an expert in the area. She gave me all sorts of insider tips and useful suggestions for areas and activities I was asking about. But it went way beyond that. Because we were having a conversation face to face (sort of ) there was a connection. That's something you can't get from google. That connection led to her offering up other activities and opportunities that I would never have known about! She is a true gem and you should see what she has in store for you!

Emily is such a pro. And an absolute delight. Being able to have a free flowing conversation about my trip face to face (thank you Zoom) lends such excitement to the whole planning process. We vibed off each others enthusiasm for a great conversation. She gave me so much information and it was so wonderful to just enjoy what she was without frantic note taking - the Trip Guide that covered everything we talked about AND other bonus information and ideas Emily included based on our interaction. Her good service makes the planning part of my trip part of enjoying my trip!

Had a great call with Steve the other day discussing a possible trip to Denali National Park. Steve was awesome. Super knowledgeable about the park and fun to talk to. Steve pointed out some park ideas I had not thought of and because of his advice I was able to finalize the details of my trip. A wonderful and helpful experience!

Dehn is definitely knowledgeable about the Southwestern United States, and he is very collaborative in helping with trip planning. Asks a lot of questions and always good about tying locations to overarching themes and vibes. I'm really looking forward to my Horizon Forbidden West road trip!

We had a fantastic experience working with Outdoorable and especially with Maria, who went above and beyond in helping us prepare for our upcoming trip to Glacier National Park. Maria was incredibly knowledgeable and generous in sharing her personal experiences, which gave us unique insight and confidence as we plan our adventure.

I was planning a family trip to Yellowstone and had no idea which hikes would be ok for a five-year-old (but still fun for me). We only had a day there and I wanted to make sure I got it right. Now, I feel confident we're hitting the right stuff.

Katie was incredible. She understood perfectly what I needed, provided multiple options for me to explore and answered all my questions. Thanks Katie I feel so much better, clearer and exited about my trip after speaking with you. Without your guidance I would have been totally lost.

I think this one conversation saved me 8 hours of scanning Reddit to piece together a plan. This is the best idea.

The call was informative and a good time. The TripGuide sent to us after the call was even more detailed and helpful than I expected. We shared with all our friends coming on the trip and they loved it too.

Maureen helped me figure out where to stop along the Ring of Kerry (including all the places for a good pint). She helped me weave a little adventure into my trip, but gave my so many insider recs for the towns too. Beyond expectations.
