A trip of a lifetime!
Reviewed By Rosita - Albuquerque, NM | Traveled to Japan | East and Southeast Asia
Lori helped book our accommodations for our recent Japan trip. She did so much more and we were very happy and relieved to have booked with her. She did such a wonderful job meeting our requests and needs. She listens, is detailed oriented and offers great extra travel suggestions and tips. She has so much travel experience. She also was available any time we needed her and if we had questions or concerns. I also loved following the online travel itinerary she created as it was super helpful. Everyone needs Lori!

Exceptional Travel Planner!
Reviewed By Jenn Simon - Boston, MA | Traveled to Italy ~ Europe
We recently had the pleasure of working with Lori when planning our trip to Italy and couldn’t be more satisfied with our experience! We had a wedding to attend but we also wanted to squeeze in some vacation time while we were there. She worked with us to plan some great excursions and tours, was very attentive, patient, and professional, and truly listened to what we wanted, even when we had a ton of questions and changes along the way.
Being a traveler herself, she was able to provide us with tips and tricks on getting around the country which helped to make it a stress-free experience.
We highly recommend Lori for planning your next adventure as her travel expertise and genuine passion for creating a memorable experience really shine through!

Fantastic trip to Mexico City and Oaxaca!
Reviewed By RetiredTravelers - Portland, OR | Traveled to Mexico
We truly loved working with Lori on our travel plans to Mexico. We were returning to Mexico City during Art Week so we didn't want to have specific tours arranged. We were concerned that restaurant reservations would be hard to get and she was able to secure some of the most popular restaurants during a very busy week. She had great recommendations for additional museum visits and areas to visit. While we had already made our flight reservations to Mexico City, Lori found the best flights to Oaxaca and made those reservations for us. We had three private tours in Oaxaca, all excellent and great value. The hotel she chose was lovely, in a great location with wonderful staff. All in all, Lori created a fabulous, hassle-free trip for us with many highlights. We will definitely be recommending her services and using her services in the future.
She met with us twice in person and was willing to travel to our home. The PlanitEasy platform that she uses is a great way to keep track of a complicated itinerary.

Best trip Ever!!
Reviewed By Jac and Jas - Australia, NSW | Traveled to USA
What a wonderful trip!
We have just been on a lovely three week holiday to some iconic destinations across America. The planning was made simple and stress free by Kylie and Lori from Travel 2Borders. We had some big hopes, wanting to see the West coast attractions as well as experience New York as it started to get festive in December. Kylie planned a jam packed itinerary that allowed us to tick off all of the sights we wanted to see ( we had a long list) and managed to do it within a very reasonable budget. We got to experience everything from the Hollywood sign, the famous LA palm trees, Disneyland, the Grand Canyon, Vegas nightlife, beautiful wineries in Portland, Mt Hood, and of course Lady liberty and the Empire State Building in NYC! All plans were made according to our preferences and the itinerary was easy to access on the Plan it easy platform. We’ve never been so excited for a trip and this one most definitely lived up to the hype. We can’t thank Lori and Kylie from Travel 2Borders enough for their wonderful travel service and for giving us the gift of a holiday we will remember forever!

What a WONDERFUL trip!
Reviewed By Neecee - Beaverton, Oregon | Traveled to Paris | France | Europe
Traveled to both Paris and London. We felt we were overly ambitious in what we wanted to see and do. We should have asked Lori to build in a few more blocks of down time, otherwise a nicely designed itinerary which included all activities we asked for.
When our Louvre Museum time was cancelled due to the jewel heist, contacted Lori at that time and she quickly rescheduled that time a couple of days later so we were able to get that time in at the Louvre. What on the spot support!

So many memories with our family on an epic Europe trip!
Reviewed By Tessa - Salem, Oregon | Traveled to Iceland | Europe
Lori and Allie put together our Europe trip, with a layover in Iceland, on short notice and did amazing planning. They helped us structure the trip around our interests, we had video calls to exchange ideas, and Allie sorted out our flights to maximize points and desired travel dates. This trip had stops in Amsterdam, Germany and Switzerland. Allie arranged our rail passes, determining the best ticket option for our itinerary, and aligned accommodations with our requests. Additionally, when we needed to change our itinerary mid-trip, Allie jumped on a video call with us and planned out the modification. It was so helpful to have her insights throughout our travel planning. In sum, they are amazing partners and knowledgeable about navigating all aspects of international travel. We loved worked with them and are looking forward to future planning with Allie and Lori!

Best 1st trip to Amazing Japan
Reviewed By Amateur Traveler - Portland, OR | Traveled to Japan | East and Southeast Asia
Lori and Kylie are awesome. I started planning a trip with my son (24) to visit my daughter (19) in Japan while she did a semester abroad. It became overwhelming as this was our first international trip. Found Lori & Kylie, and they were perfect to help put our trip together. Both are very knowledgeable about Japan as they frequently travel there. They found us hotels close to the rail lines which made navigation Japan easy. They also suggested some of their favorite restaurants, which was nice because there’s so many places to explore. We visited Kobe, Tokyo and Osaka. We skipping visiting Kyoto since we had a couple rainy days, but it is on our list for next time. We will definitely have Lori and Kylie plan our next trip.
