Just pack your bags and head out for fun!
Reviewed By Traveling Family - Brighton, MI | Traveled to Arizona ~ USA
You cannot go wrong with a vacation planned by Laura at 83° West! She listens to what you desire in a vacation, and provides options that will more than meet your expectations. Her attention to detail and knowledge of opportunities for spectacular fun-filled days are incomparable. And if you prefer quiet days of relaxation, she will do her utmost to make certain that you have that opportunity, as well. Your vacation will be amazing, and the best part of it is that the only thing you will have to do is pack your bag. Laura takes care of everything else! Our trip to Arizona, Utah, and Nevada was the best!

A Terrific Spring Break with my Son!!
Reviewed By Sara - Plymouth, MI | Traveled to Mexico ~ Mexico
Laura was an angel sent from above. From the first time I spoke to her about planning, a huge amount of stress was lifted. She listened to my needs/concerns and offered suggestions that coincided with such. She was always extremely professional, never pushy, and always available to answer any question I had. Laura planned an absolutely amazing vacation for my son and me and exceeded my expectations every step of the way. Her knowledge, expertise, and organization was amazing. I will plan all of my vacations with Laura. The value she brings is priceless and not navigate international travel during a pandemic shows her truly vast abilities. Thank you Laura!! You are simply the best!!

    European Adventure
    Laura at Travel 83 West organized our recent European Adventure. We spent a month traveling around Europe, visiting 5 different countries, and could not have done it without her assistance. She was well educated and up to date on all travel restrictions, necessary forms, proper documentation etc. She made a trip to Europe in the middle of a pandemic possible and it was stress free. Our trip was so well laid out for us start to finish with all the little details thought of. I highly recommend this service it takes all the anxiety and headache out of the vacation planning process and Laura is definitely passionate and proactive at her job. I look forward to using her services in the future.
