Our group of 3 had a main focus on the history of Charleston and Savannah and Kevin delivered. But he knew that we would also need a break and worked in tours that highlighted the charm and feel for each city including a late night stroll with him. His restaurant bookings were so helpful when you travel, finding good places to eat that have a table can be very challenging. To not have to think about where I'm going each night was a blessing. I can't recommend enough having him plan your visit to what you love to do most when you travel.

He is a passionate and seasoned personal concierge who will hold your hand from start to finish and even check in with you once you land back in your hometown. From the minute I opened Kevin's website I just had an amazing feeling. I knew right away that Kevin would help us plan the BEST and least cookie cutter trip and experience for our family. There is so much information online about Charleston. And whilst it's exciting to research a new city, it's easy to get overwhelmed and end up with all the standard tourist traps. Enter Kevin McQuade--he just get it from the start. Within minutes we connected over the phone. He has an uncanny sense of what you'll like and dislike and is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about creating next level SC experiences. Over the phone Kevin was so caring, asked the right questions and keenly listened as he got to know OUR family! It was clear that seeing Charleston from an insider's point of view would give us a very different and off-the-beaten path experience, as opposed to the run of the mill Charleston trip. That's exactly what we wanted! Kevin really took his time to gather tons of information, made amazing suggestions for tours, experiences and restaurants in real time and then went off to do his magic. He makes all the calls and books all of your tours, meals etc. This took all the pressure off and all we had to do was pack and show up! Kevin came back to us with the most unbelievable itinerary. I could not get over the level of detail - all the information for anywhere we were going, interesting fact, travel time, what time to leave our hotel, tips and tricks for each destination, dress codes, things to think about ahead of time, must picks for each menu and so much more. He took all the guess work out and this made for such an enjoyable and smooth trip. All of Kevin's suggested and booked was beyond incredible and we ALL loved everything we did. Everything we did became the new highlight! There was some unexpected rain D]during our stay and Kevin immediately got on to things and helped us do a quick pivot to make the necessary adjustments. My two teens remained engaged, excited and involved throughout and really loved Charleston because of the itinerary and how we spent our time there. In fact, they were sad to leave and can't wait to return. The restaurants selected were next level, with each meal better than the next. Kevin made sure all our lunches and dinners were booked and each provided a totally different and unique cuisine and vibe! We could not get over the food, the service and overall culinary experiences we were having - this from a huge foodie! The food itself was a highlight, not one I was necessarily expecting. We did two walking tours - one with Kevin who showed us beautiful Charleston at night - there is nothing like it and was blow your mind incredible - and another with the fabulous storyteller and super cool and fun Ed Macy that we did during the day was just incredible. We were so excited and filled with gratitude throughout every step that we took in Charleston. We just wanted more and more and could not get enough. Another highlight was the Middleton Place Plantation - one we would never have chosen on our own. It was one of the most sublime experiences including a most exquisite dinner which was all glass enclosed and had the most magnificent views of the garden and the plantation. The history, the beauty, the vastness, it was truly surreal. We stayed in an amazing hotel The Dewberry, which was brilliantly located in downtown Charleston, right by King Street, which is filled with amazing shopping, stores, restaurants, bars, coffee, houses, you name it. But Kevin takes the guessing out and tells you which is the best place to go for coffee, ice cream or even where to get the famous coconut layered cake etc. he'll make suggestions that you NOT read anywhere and would only know about from a local. What I loved so much about working with Kevin aside from everything, was that he held our hand from start to finish and communicated with us throughout our trip. He checked in on us, was keen to hear how things were going, and was available for any questions that we had along the way. I have never been on a vacation and had such a personal concierge service at my fingertips. Kevin is such an authentic, warm, personable, funny, open and just all-around really really great guy who is trustworthy and really loves and cares about his job and is so passionate about planning and creating a perfect trip for you and your family. There really is NO other way to visit Charleston. BEST money if the trip you'll spend! It will literally be a game changer. Your trip will not be the same unless you work directly with Kevin - the Charleston guru!

However, after doing it so much for work, I now just want to go places and not have to plan everything! The thing I love about Charleston Travel Plans is that they do all of the research and have visited these places in the Charleston area themselves. So, I don't have to worry about looking up a restaurant and if all of their hyped up reviews are because they are all friends of the owners or a negative review just being competitors. I told them what kind of meal and experience we wanted, and they gave us the perfect suggestions. They also gave us an itinerary, so we saw the best of Charleston, but we also had time to explore a little. We didn't have to waste a bunch of time researching. It was such a huge time saver! So worth the money, I wish Julie was in every city I visit because I feel like she really cared about us having the best experiences with what we could afford and wasn't trying to promote things like an affiliate would. I think she just really loves Charleston and wants those who visit to love it too! I highly recommend her services!!!

There were absolutely no surprises - only an incredible trip that was so insanely beautiful, we were gasping the entire time.

It was truly a trip we will never forget. Thank you so much, Judy and Premier!
