The trip OutOfOffice put together for me was extraordinary. I gave them only a vague description of what I had in mind and the first proposed version was already almost close to perfect. What was even better was that my travel agent Alice adjusted everything according to my wishes within just a few hours and the trip I got to experience turned into a once in a lifetime adventure.
But you can only ever really tell how good a company like OutOfOffice truly is, when you run into issues during your trip and mine was off to a very bumpy start, when I couldn't board my originally intended flight to Hawai'i. But again Alice delivered. Not only was she available all the time, she also quickly sorted all problems and got me onto another flight. The level of personal service I received was as amazing as the trip turned out to be and all of the pre-booked activities (helicopter flight, snorkeling cruise, zipline adventure) were glorious and exactly the kind of adventure I had so vaguely asked for at the very beginning. Highly recommended!

We worked with Alice from Out of Office to plan a milestone trip to Paris and Amsterdam, and the experience of working with her was genuinely excellent. The initial itinerary was thoughtful, well-curated, and showed real attention to what we were looking for in terms of occasion and quality.

When we came back with budget concerns, Alice was responsive and collaborative, revising the proposal without any friction. She listens carefully and takes feedback seriously.

Ultimately the trip didn't come together for us this year for financial reasons unrelated to her work, and we hope to return to her when we're in a better position to do it properly. She's the kind of planner you want in your corner.

What an incredible service. We weren't able to book our trip at this time, but my consultation call and the follow-up itinerary walkthrough video were both absolutely fantastic. Not only does Out Of Office thoroughly understand the needs of LGBTQ+ travelers, but they're also excellent collaborators during the planning process. They made me feel excited and invigorated to travel.

Maria organised a brilliant holiday for us in southern India. It was our first time in India so we were a bit apprehensive but didn't need to be as we were extremely well looked after. The holiday was well thought through and paced and we experienced and did a lot with time for rest and relaxation as well.

After a gap of 20 years, we decided we wanted to return to Egypt, see the new museum in Cairo, revisit the amazing sites in Luxor and try a luxury stay in Sharm el Sheikh. Maria (Gardner) helped us so much by taking the time to gain a thorough understanding of what we were looking for and most importantly, how we wanted to spend our time. Each stage of the booking process was very well put together, with a full itinerary and excellent pictures of accommodation and sightseeing locations. All tweaks to our plans were happily dealt with and nothing was too much trouble. We flew to Cairo the day after the start of the Iran war so we were somewhat nervous of what we may encounter, but the Out of Office support team and Maria, all put us at ease with appropriate information on our safety which was very reassuring. We had an amazing holiday, all the plans went like clockwork and we will definitely book with Maria and Out of Office again!

I worked with Sam to build a custom itinerary for a friend's birthday trip that was LGBTQIA+ friendly in Mexico. It was important to us that we felt safe but still had fun.
We did not end up booking because finances changed for us, but when we can revisit the idea, we will absolutely be coming back.
Sam listened to my concerns, documented all of my preferences, and kept me within the budget we had asked for. I have no doubt it would have been an amazing trip and Sam was a dream to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend OOO to anyone who will listen!

Maria is a joy to work with. She was so warm and friendly, and set us up to have a wonderful vacation in Japan and Korea. The hotels, tours, and transfers that Maria booked for us made this trip very special.

Alice was very helpful in planning our recent trip to Amsterdam and Paris. The pace of the trip and planned activities were excellent and educational. The service and experiences were top of the line.

Wolfe and the staff at Out of Office made my trip. From airline tickets to hotels to private tours I was blown away. Beyond my expectations in every aspect

I recently took a trip to Thailand with my husband and our 12 year old twin daughters, and I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience with Out of Office. Maria coordinated the absolutely perfect trip for us from start to finish. The planning she provided was completely seamless, and she set us up with fantastic hotels that were not only wonderful but also in excellent locations, along with fabulous excursions and thoughtfully curated activities that made this a truly unforgettable vacation for my family.

Maria is incredibly easy to work with, so pleasant, responsive, and genuinely wonderful. She did an outstanding job recommending excursions and events that suited our family perfectly. Some of the highlights of our trip included an incredible cabaret show in Bangkok, visiting an elephant sanctuary in Koh Samui, and an unforgettable boat trip to Ang Thong National Marine Park, which was absolutely spectacular.

Out of Office also arranged tour guides for us through Destination Asia, and they were absolutely fantastic. Our guide, Mimi, was so kind and wonderful, an exceptional guide who spoke English very well and truly enhanced our experience.

This is now the third trip I have taken with Out of Office’s help, and the second time working specifically with Maria. I cannot recommend Maria and the entire Out of Office team enough. I will absolutely continue to use Out of Office for any trips I take outside the United States. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and care are truly unmatched.

We had a fantastic experience working with Maria Gardner at Out of Office in helping me plan a surprise 60th birthday celebration for my husband. Not an easy feat as we left from Philadelphia, flew to Palm Springs and then onto Kona Hawaii for the remainder of the trip, keeping all activities and fun things we had planned under wraps. Working with Maria was a pleasure, she was knowledgeable about our destinations, made recommendations for activities that we should do and see while there, and if she needed to do a more research on an activity, she was quick to reply with recommendations. I will definitely use out of office again and I’ve already recommended Maria to friends. As a matter of fact, we’re getting ready to book another trip in 2027 and looking forward to working with Maria again. Five stars across the board!

Repeat customers! Wolf and the Out of Office team planned an outstanding family-adventure in Japan. While it may not be possible to see all of Japan in two weeks, our well-crafted itinerary left us feeling like we came awfully close. :) Wolf has gotten to know our travel preferences over time and is quick to provide helpful insights and feedback (before, during and after the trip) that enhance our experience. Thank you for making another once in a lifetime trip possible. Looking forward to planning the next adventure soon.

Samantha was very helpful and ready to assist me with any and all requests and concerns

This was our third trip booked through Out of Office and have recommended them to anyone we know. We trust them implicitly to curate trips that fit specifically for us and the type of traveler we are, as well as making sure we are safe and comfortable as an LGBT couple in another country. Whenever it's time to plan a vacation, our first reaction to one another is "it's time to call Maria!"

Not all trips go off without a hitch. It's a fact of travel. But anytime something went off-schedule, both the guides they connected us with as well as their 24 hour number have come through to our rescue. It's a huge weight off of our shoulders to not fret about the specific details of each booking & transfer so we can just enjoy our time out of the country.

It has been years since I used a travel planner and wasn't sure what to expect. What I got, was a thoughtful 45-minute conversation with Wolf O'Neill, a fully baked itinerary with hotels, tours, car service pick-up and drop-off and a fantastic trip to Thailand for me and the family. It was amazing to work with someone who could recommend all the best things to do and to not spend hours doing the work myself. There were several times during the trip that I needed help to make last minute changes was able to reach either Wolf or one of his teammates. It was clear that he was completely focused on making sure we had a great experience.

Working with Wolf and the whole team at OOO was an amazing experience. From start to finish, the entire process happened seamlessly and I really appreciated their level of communication and attention to detail. Every item on my itinerary was perfectly curated and they even helped me with a last minute adjustment while on the trip. Wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Our trip was not a typical vacation. Rather, it was to explore relocation possibilities for retirement. Wolf O'Neill and Out of Office delivered an amazing journey, with a few fun activities sprinkled in, that got us a lot closer to definitively choosing Costa Rica as our retirement home.

This trip had a lot of moving parts, and it went off without a hitch. From pickup at the San José airport to drop-off at the Liberia airport - and five hotels in between - everything ran like clockwork (and this in a country known more for its relaxed "Tico Time" than punctuality!).

Out of Office arranged an English-speaking private driver for our entire stay. He masterfully handled the unbelievable traffic in San José as well as many dirt roads on the Nicoya peninsula as we visited potential retirement destinations urban and rural. He not only knew the best places to show us, but also introduced us to people, such as realtors, that we'll need for any future relocation. He even facilitated having our laundry done mid-trip!

Having a private driver relieved us of having to figure out an itinerary and allowed us to see so much more of the country than we would have been able to arrange on our own. Our focus was on the northwest coast, from Playa Hermosa to Nosara and Sámara. We visited popular beach towns like Tamarindo and Playa Flamingo, but also visited places like Las Catalinas - a new town being built north of Playa Flamingo and marketed to expats - and beaches so remote that we were the only people there.

In the end, we have narrowed down our Costa Rican retirement possibilities to the area between Playa Hermosa and Tamarindo, with a strong preference for the Playa Flamingo area. Seeing so much of the country and being able to rule in - and rule out - potential retirement locations was extremely helpful.

Everyone at Out of Office was always helpful, friendly and professional. The few concerns we had as we prepared for our trip were always handled quickly. Wolf O'Neill, with whom we worked most closely, was especially courteous and attentive. We are looking forward to working with Out of Office again for future overseas adventures!

Sam came up with great ideas for very last minute travel when some other plans had fallen through. They listened carefully, were flexible as I hopped the globe with dreams, and tailored potential itineraries to fit our travel style.

Samantha McCormack was beyond wonderful in helping us plan our trip. We needed a very curated trip as we are all senior citizens with various health issues. She never made us feel uncomfortable as was so understanding . I also felt the trip she curated meet our budget requirements while still providing luxury accommodations and personal service. I highly recommend her and OutOf Office.

Working with Alice has made planning this trip remarkably easy. She is exceptionally organized and stays on top of every detail, which gives us complete confidence that nothing will be overlooked. What stands out most is how well she listens to us. She truly understands what we are looking for and “gets it” right away, so we never have to repeat ourselves or remind her about things.
She is also very responsive and quick to return messages, which makes the process stress free. It is clear that she takes pride in providing outstanding customer service. We are genuinely impressed and very grateful to be working with Alice on our trip to London and Paris.
