”"With her vast local knowledge and attention to details, Lauren took a few ideas and crafted a wonderful week of adventures visiting gardens, art and historical locations in Philadelphia & the surrounding area! We got to visit places I would never have thought possible and had only read about! ! It was a once in a lifetime set of experiences & a trip I will long remember! I’m looking forward to another fun trip in the future!"

”"Lauren was an absolute dream to work with as she organized our large group for a long weekend in DC. Exceptionally attentive to every detail from grabbing the best group rates for our five star hotel, to arranging amazing dinners at exclusive restaurants, to arranging group activities for our large group ranging in ages from 13 to 82, Lauren orchestrated a weekend that we will never forget. Immediately responsive to every request, no matter how small or how last minute. Looking forward to using Lauren again and again - highly recommend!!"

”"Thank you very much for being the leader of the garden tour a week ago. You were an excellent leader! You kept a constant count and always watched out for me while I was lagging, taking photographs or just looking at the land. You always explained where we were going and shared your love of your home state. I LOVE Philadelphia and the countryside. I want to return! I hope you'll lead many more trips and forge on in your career."

From our first conversation until our last lunch at the Acorn Club, you made sure every detail in our itinerary was just perfect.
