Driving Trip Across Country
Reviewed By SCS - Maryland | Traveled to Nevada | USA
We planned a Road Trip from Maryland to the West Coast. We consulted with Road Trips with a View about possible sites to see. Since we have driven this trip so many times - we wanted some ideas for different sites. Carrie had some wonderful ideas. She arranged a three day excursion in Williams, AZ. There we enjoyed a two night stay at a Hotel with all meals included. We enjoyed Shoot Out followed by a train ride to the Grand Canyon for the day. We visited Bearizona, also in Williams, AZ. We visited Cow Town, Wichita, KS. and a host of different sites we had not visited before. I would definitely recommend Carrie and Road Trips with A View. We were extremely satisfied with all of her suggestions. We had a wonderful trip.

The perfect trip for my family with toddlers!
Reviewed By Traveling Dad - Maryland | Traveled to Pigeon Forge | Tennessee | USA
We were looking to plan our first vacation as a family of four to Pigeon Forge, TN. Since this was our first time traveling with toddlers, we decided to recruit some help with planning. After talking with Carrie from Road Trips with a View about what we were looking for, she provided us with numerous affordable options for housing perfect for a family traveling with toddlers. Finding us the perfect housing options that accommodated all of the needs traveling parents would want. She also provided us with an incredibly detailed and easy to follow itinerary and extensive list of alternative options for things to do, see and eat. She even incorporated our kids naptimes into the schedule she provided! Carrie saved us time and stress while planning our first family vacation and we came home with memories not exhaustion. I can't recommend her enough. We will be using her for every future vacation!

Trip to Iceland
Reviewed By Jstewart50 - Prince Frederick, Maryland | Traveled to Iceland | Europe
I contacted Road Trips with a View to help plan a four day visit to Iceland. My wife and I had booked a cruise to Iceland, Greenland, and the Coast of Canada, however the cruise did not include any activity while in Iceland. We were scheduled to fly into Iceland, board the cruiseship and leave the same day. I ask Carrie and her Road Trips with a View team to fine us a tour that would give us much exposure to Iceland as possible in the shortest amount of time. All Carrie had to work with was we were planning to fly into Iceland three days before the cruise. I ask Carrie to find a hotel close to the harbor, schedule tours that we could do in the afternoon the day we arrived, and tours on the next two days that exposed us to as much of Iceland as possible. Wow! did she deliver, our hotel was one block from the harbor, and was the pick-up point for almost all the tour companies. Carrie gave us several option for our afternoon activities. We toured the town, had a nice dinner and had time to relax. The second and third days the tours she recommended were fantastic. Each tour picked us up at our hotel door and lasted over 10 houirs. The first day we traveled to the South Coast and Eastern part of Iceland. The second day we visited the North Coast and Western part of Iceland. The tours she recommended to us to almost every major attraction in the country. I can't tell you how much her planning allowed us to see everything we had hoped to see. I want to thank Carrie for all her hard work and time she put into the short little trip. I know that if we had tried to plan this by ourself we would have never found this hotel and excursions. Job Well Done. I highly recommend Road Trips with a View.

Best Family Vacation Ever
Reviewed By Jstewart50 - Prince Frederick, Maryland | Traveled to Pennsylvania | USA
We had Road Trips with a View plan our ten day family vacation to the Amish Country in Pennsylvania. They did an outstanding job, Carrie located a six bedroom farmhouse rental just outside of Landcaster. We used this as a starting point to visit Hershey, Hershey World, the Sight and Sound Theather, Dutch Wonderland, working dairy farm, and so many other attractions. We had no idea there was so much to do and see until Carrie planned our trip. She gave us so much detail that all we had to do was decide which activities we wanted to do and have fun doing them. Because there was ten of us on this trip with a wide range of ages, Carrie made sure she had activites we could do together and/or in different groups. I can tell you that at no time during our vacation was anyone boared or unhappy, Carrie's planning made sure of that. I would highly recommend Carrie and Road Trips with a View to anyone who is a little undecided on what to do on vacation, let her company plan it for you.

Client Testimonials
Utah/Colorado
Carrie planned our road trip from Maryland to Utah and Colorado, and it was the best decision we made. What felt overwhelming at first became completely stress-free with her personalized itinerary. Every stop was thoughtfully planned, the pacing was perfect, and we discovered incredible places we never would have found on our own. She balanced structure with flexibility so we could still enjoy spontaneous moments along the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better adventure

Thank you for creating a detailed plan to include other suggestions of things to do. We will reach out again for our next adventure out on the road.
