We loved working with Lauren and plan to in the future! My husband and I really wanted a family - friendly vacation in Europe. She recommended Barcelona, Spain as our destination and we absolutely loved our time there!! I love that she incorporated my daughter’s love of the beach/outdoors in her planning. Additionally , all of her recommendations for family friendly activities far exceeded our expectations. She was also very helpful with navigating COVID travel documentation. Highly recommend working with her!

Amazing, thoughtful, stress-reducing and FUN! Because of Lauren, I was able to plan a family trip that I would’ve never been able to do by self.

Working with Lauren was great! From the beginning, when all we really had was a destination, through finalizing the tours, accommodations, and our cruise, I relied on Lauren's expertise. In fact, more than once I sent her a text with a question (for example: "Any ideas for an Italian restaurant in Tokyo that will fit a party of 8, including an 8-year old?") and she responded with several options. (Note: the restaurant we chose from her suggestions was excellent!) Our group included 3 generations and ranged from 8-83 years old. Lauren completely got how we needed to include different interests, attention spans and levels of comfort moving around a new (to us) country. On the final night of our trip, all 8 of us were smiling and saying how glad we all were to have had the time together. I think that is a clear sign that the trip was a success. We will definitely use Lauren to plan future family trips!

Lauren made a very complicated travel schedule seemless with private guides and detailed itinerary. Helped make another awesome bucket list trip come to fruition!

She was extremely organized, really listened to our wants and needs and built a schedule that was perfect. I was really worried about somebody telling me what to do instead of curating what my husband and I wanted to do. One of the tours she scheduled reached out to me last minute to try to cancel and rebook us, not my job. I reached out to Lauren and she took care of what could’ve been a debacle. We had a fantastic trip that covered 3 cities and 2 european countries. Lauren’s service was invaluable since we could not have successfully organized it on our own. Highly highly recommend!

We had an amazing family trip for 10 days with 3 kids (7, 10, 13) and a set of grandparents in their 70's. All the excursions Lauren recommended were perfect for our active family and we thoroughly enjoyed an amazing time in Peru. From the culture to the food to the scenery it really was once in a lifetime!

Lauren was communicative, well-organized, detail-oriented, and a pleasure to work with. Her passion for travel shines through her work. She was committed to making our family vacation special and memorable. She had insightful recommendations about where to stay and what to do, and if she didn't have an answer to my questions at her fingertips, she found them as quickly as she could. Highly recommend planning your trip with her!

Lauren worked swiftly to help secure plans for our short notice trip to Greece! We appreciated her knowledge of the area and ability to quickly advise on itinerary in an are where we have no experience. Great recommendations and help sorting through the options!

Lauren is so thorough and thoughtful. I know I chose my hotel and destination from great research and insight on her part. working with Lauren saved me precious time and helped me to make a great and informed decision about which hotel property to stay at. I had an amazing trip and was fully supported with all of my questions and needs.

Lauren was great to work with. She explained everything very well. She broke it all down into steps to take and was sure to follow up when I didn't respond. For someone who is extremely busy, she made trip planning so easy on us!!! We had an AMAZING trip!

Lauren has planned two trips for our family, and both have far exceeded our expectations! We recently retuned from Kauai on a trip with extended family and Lauren's expertise and experience helped make this a memorable trip for everyone. Before deciding where to stay, we received a very detailed overview of Kauai. I really appreciated her knowledge of the weather and terrain. It helped us choose a convenient area of the island with beautiful views, minimal wind and access to the beach! Her guidance on choosing excursions was also spot on. She took into account our 5 year old and my husband's parents when making recommendations, so we were able to find experiences that everyone would enjoy. We chose to visit two botanical gardens and attend a luau while in Kauai. Everything was a hit! We loved Kauai and hope to return. We also plan to work with Lauren on our next trip!

I am so glad that I found Lauren. As I have not been able to travel in nine years, I was quite nervous, but Lauren made everything seemless. She is so efficient & always answered my many questions in a timely fashion.

It was great to work with Lauren for my first trip to Spain. She was pleasant and patient as she tirelessly searched until we found the best possible rate for my airfare and her travel advice was invaluable. Also, the villa we stayed in was perfect for our group of 10 ladies. I highly recommend her services.

Lauren planned this trip for our church Group and did a great job. The trip was very enjoyable from beginning to end.

With so many companies offering package trips it was hard for us to decide who to work with and which offer to take. After meeting Lauren the process just seemed to be much smoother and easier to navigate.

She asked questions about how we like to travel, What amenities did we needed and which were a plus. She asked questions about how we like to experience a new place and what we enjoyed doing.

These questions help us to narrow done where we wanted to visit and then which provider would be the best fit for us.

She not only helped us plan and schedule the trip but stayed in touch in the months leading up to the date to make sure we had all the updated info form the provider. I always felt that I could reach out to her with a question or a concern.

Lauren really took the time to help us choose a trip that we will remember for a long time .

Lauren was interested in learning our parameters for travel and then finding experiences to match that. Working with Lauren really helped facilitate our family vacation to Austria.

Lauren was very helpful in putting together our spring break trip through Central Europe. It was a bit of a whirlwind (Budapest, Vienna and Munich in six days) and she was able to research and book the exact type of hotels, activities and timetable we wanted. She took care of all the research and legwork. More important, when my daughter had an allergic reaction on the way from Vienna to Munich, Lauren was able to rearrange our itinerary, saving us time and money and enabling us to continue on and enjoy our trip even with a nearly 24 hour unplanned delay.

Excellent. Lauren is a great listener and provider great options for my family.

Lauren was easy to work with. She asked the right questions to help me
focus on what I really wanted to see and accomplish. The trip was everything I had hoped for.

Lauren was a great help with our three-week Australia trip -- she even came to our house for an initial planning session -- and she did an excellent job of booking flights for our eight-leg journey, at surprisingly low cost. Without her we would never have heard of the great snorkeling along Ningaloo Reef in northwest Australia! She was always prompt and professional, thorough and knowledgeable. We most appreciated her help when we had a medical emergency late in the trip and needed to delay our departure from Sydney. In response to our email plea, Lauren took charge of the rebooking process and quickly found suitable flights. We have always made our own travel arrangements in the past but we're more than glad that we decided to use Lauren's services for this trip.

Lauren of Dynamic-Escapes provided as superb travel experience for my family. This was the first time I had dealt with any type of travel consultant. I “interviewed” several agents for my trip to Australia, and even though I was impressed with every one of them, I felt confident after speaking with Lauren that she should be my choice. She was not the least bit “sales-y”, and I got a good impression, which proved to be correct, that she is down-to-earth, competent, knowledgeable, and a good (great ! ) person. I chose her for these traits, and her specific knowledge of Australia. During our planning, even though she was abroad researching travel for other clients, she was remarkably responsive to my questions and needs. It quickly became obvious that she is a true travel professional with a sincere desire to provide top quality service. She provided spot-on perfect apartment accommodations and information on excursions. I highly recommend Lauren for travel expertise.

Great experience. Lauren was able to resolve some issues we had with a resort. She spent a great deal of time and energy on the issue . The trip was flawless and our family group of 9 had a wonderful time.
