As type A people, my wife and I were skeptical at first about someone else planning a vacation for us without us knowing any of the details ahead of time, but Whym exceeded all of our expectations. The hotel was great and in a central location, the activities they booked for us were directly linked to the survey that we had filled out at the start of our journey, and the restaurants they booked were exactly the type of places we love to go to. The concierge was in contact with us the whole time and answered any questions we had. We would highly recommend Whym for anyone that is curious what an outside, third party, would book for them based on details you give ahead of time. We will definitely be doing another trip with them at some point in the future!!
Our trip to New Orleans was absolutely amazing! Whym sent us to the cultural, romantic, foodie, architectural NOLA, not the pee-in-the street and flash for beads NOLA. We decided to follow their entire suggested itinerary to a tee, and we weren't sorry. They nailed our personalities because of the extensive survey you do beforehand, and that they have personal knowledge of the places they send you, so they don't send you to a bunch of tourist traps. They paced the trip perfectly, with high energy activities followed by more relaxing ones, and just enough time between each that we didn't feel like we were rushing around. We loved the contrast between high and low energy activities, upscale meals and divey ones, fancy bars and more raucous ones, and all the different cultural activities. We did SO much in a 2.5 day trip, but never once felt either overstimulated or bored. And the fun of surprise travel can't be overstated. This was the most relaxed I've ever been either before or during a trip, knowing someone else was in charge. And our Whym "concierge" was so responsive, responding back to your slightest question immediately after you text them. We will definitely be going on another Whym!
Amazing! We rarely use that word to describe things, but this is the word of choice for our Whym vacation. We have taken two trips with Whym; one with our two teen children and one as a couple, and both have been awesome. As a family, we love to travel and each trip we went on was fit and curtailed to each member of our family. Whym really paid attention to the surveys that each person filled out to ensure that each person would be happy with the trip. From the places that we stayed, the activities selected to the restaurant recommendations - they were all spot on! One of the things that we enjoyed the most were the little "Whyms" (surprise activities) that were planned - so much fun!
Some people say, "Oh, I could never let someone plan something like that!" There was something magical about letting someone else plan all of the details and being surprised - like truly surprised - about the trip. We highly recommend Whym!
