Lili LeBaron planned an incredible 1 week trip to Cambodia in February 2025 for my husband and me. It was above and beyond in terms of the accommodations she selected for us at Shinta Mani in Siem Reap and the Royal Sands in Koh Rong, as well as in terms of the seamless transportation and connections. We never waited for any drivers-- someone was always there to greet us and take us to our next destination in comfort, which made our travel days so easy and efficient. I also wanted to shout out the unbelievable Angkor Wat tours she booked for us-- it was so educational and stunning to be at these ancient temples. They were also timed perfectly so that there were fewer tourists while we there, allowing us to really soak it all in. Lili's attention to detail made our week in Cambodia one of our favorite trips yet. She ensured that each day included tours tailored to us as well as accommodations perfectly suited to our needs. I can't recommend her services as a travel specialist enough! She will take care of you. read more

Reached out. Set up a day to talk to T. Williams at Scott Dunn. He never called me. Set up the travel through someone else.

Scott Dunn will not line item price. I suspect the reason is due to a massive mark-up. We used Frontier's travel and the cost was $13,000 less not including airfare. Frankly, with Chat GPT you can do most of the work.The Scott Dunn model is being disintermediated and they deserve it. read more

We recently used Scott Dunn to assist with our European honeymoon and had a wonderful experience. Our agent, Grace, was fantastic to work with! She was able to plan the perfect trip for us that incorporated all of the notes we gave her in our pre-planning call. We traveled to 3 different countries and everything ran so smoothly. The excursions and activities that were set up for us were top-notch. I cannot recommend Scott Dunn (and Grace B.) enough! read more

Just went on an incredible trip to Bhutan. An amazing country to visit! We had a very personable and knowledgable guide and a skilled chauffeur who was great at navigating the windy roads. I enjoyed the kind people and serene landscapes. Thank you to Julie G and Josephine T for helping me plan this trip of a lifetime. read more

Travel agent, Caroline, got extremely rude with me and made me feel like a peasant when I wanted to lower our budget down for our Africa trip. Didn't even want to work with me, just shut the conversation down. Extremely disappointed by this, and completely unacceptable read more

I had the good fortune to work with Scott Dunn to book a three-week, three-country trip to Asia. Here's what went right: flight connections with ample time. Flights that arrived and departed on time. Hotels that were stated as luxury that actually were, and were priced right. Tour guides who were on time, knowledgeable, and fun. What went wrong: Nothing. And that's my point. Josephine at Scott Dunn put together a trip that, left to my own devices, could easily have been riddled with hassles and frustration. From start to finish everything with Scott Dunn was absolute perfection. read more

Planned 40th Anniversary trip for X-mas 2024 and called Scott Dunn and started to discuss what characteristics we wanted for this trip. Told Renata/Simon what we wanted and originally thought we wanted Costa Rico but based on our discussions steered us toward Chile/Argentina. We went for 17 days and it was a TRIP of a lifetime!! Scott Dunn had everything done perfectly. Accommodations/transfers/flights/locations/food were outstanding. Premium service all done great and with great communication before/during & after trip!! I would recommend them for any vacation. This is a premium travel agency at a premium price point but for us well worth it!! Next major trip and we will reach out to Scott Dunn!! read more

Livia Angelini, our Scott Dunn representative did a spectacular job of planning the perfect Portugal itinerary for us. She did everything from selecting the perfect dates for our trip to ensuring that every stop on our trip was perfectly arranged. There was not a single hiccup during the entire 10 day tour. Lisbon was spectacular, ans was Porto annd the Duoro Valley. Every guide Livia lined up for us was not only professional and knowledgeable, but truly friendly and engaging. They made us feel like members of their families while we were with them! Livia arranged special after hours tours for us at the most popular attractions and museums. She even made sure that the restaurants we visited were aware of my food allergy. We can't recommend Livia Angelini highly enough. She is so well traveled and her enthusiasm for the countries we want to visit in Europe makes her stand out among all the travel planners we have ever used. She's a gem! read more

We had a very disappointing experience with Scott Dunn travel for a trip to Japan. I was very specific with what we wanted and expected - an itinerary that would work well for kids, seemless travel experience, adjoining rooms. This was all promised, however it felt like a bait and switch. Promised one thing and delivered another. Yes we take care of all transfers of luggage, yes we handle all aspects of tours, yes we can accommodate adjoining rooms, yes we will make those dinner reservations,.... Etc. when we arrived we discovered most of the promises were false. A highlight of experiences was provided to use but a final itinerary was only revealed a few days prior to trip leaving very limited time to discover problems and the itinerary often didn't list what was left out. We discovered numerous problems once we were there. There were no adjoining rooms. Showed up to dinner reservations one night to discover they had never been made. Couldn't see many of the highlights we had been sold on, as they told the tour guides to take us via public transportation yet didn't figure in the extra time this would require or the fact that traveling with 9 (5 children) on an overcrowded subway during rush hour would be technically challenging. The final itinerary appeared to be one curated for adults. One day they scheduled stops at 9 shrines. That gets tedious even for adults much less kids! If we had known this ahead of time, we could have made modifications but the lack of transparency was appalling. There were a variety of other problems and to list all would be tedious but please consider other agencies when booking travel! read more

Lucy was absolutely wonderful to work with and very thoughtful. She listened to what we did and did not want and selected the perfect hotels and activities. It was no easy task across 3 different countries and regions but Lucy did a perfect job. We will absolutely be recommending and using Scott Dunn in the future! read more

Scott Dunn is the single best travel concierge service. Sarah was spectacular in planning every facet of our trip to Spain. Everyone we spoke to and dealt with at Scott Dunn was professional and knowledgeable. We have enjoyed working with the professionals at Scott Dunn on a number of our vacations. We can not recommend them more enthusiastically. read more

We are absolutely thrilled with this journey. Every single detail was handled beautifully and Meg listened to our wishes and put together just a PERFECT trip. Each and every location was just incredible and every tiny detail was just over the top. I can honestly say that the trip was so far beyond my expectations that I would not have changed one single thing about it. You guys listen, plan and manage every aspect of your clients journey and in today's world, that is unheard of. BRAVO! for making my 60th birthday the trip of a lifetime. THANK YOU MEG. If you haven't had the opportunity, call Scott Dunn today and inquire about a wonderful journey to Africa for safari. read more

Details went flawlessly, hotel was a lovely property and had great service. Cruise on Explora was the best we have experienced will book on them again. Lucy Rudgard and Morgan Bryant were real pros, made the trip easy for me to plan and exceeded my wife's expectations! read more

Scott Dunn set up a trip to Cambodia... Scott Dunn set up a trip to Cambodia and Vietnam. They sent detailed paperwork which said that we did not need a visa. When we tried to get on a plane to Vietnam from Cambodia, we found out that we did need a visa and could not get one for several days, so we were stuck in the airport! One star is too high a rating. Should be zero stars. read more

We had an AMAZING trip to Africa! I did not know much about Africa but after our first consultation with Meg I knew she was the right person for us. Meg was super friendly, patient, helpful and very knowledgeable, she came up with the perfect itinerary to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday in Africa. We ended up traveling to South Africa and Zambia, both will always hold a special place in our hearts. From start to finish this trip was perfection, there was not one issue regarding transfers, private guides or lodging. This was a trip of a lifetime, and we are so thankful for the amazing experiences. If you are looking for a one of a kind experience with excellent service give Scott Dunn a call. Thanks again Meg!

With the help of our advisor at Scott Dunn, our family planned a trip to Africa to celebrate my wife's "milestone birthday". Unfortunately for us that was in early 2020 before the COVID-related travel restrictions kicked into full gear. We had to cancel our trip, and while disappointed, the folks at Scott Dunn were able to secure a credit for a portion of monies we had already paid. Fast-forward to Spring 2022, and we decided to reschedule the trip, but this time it was just my wife and me. We worked with Meg Shepro to get our trip back on track, and she was engaging, knowledgeable, professional, and so very patient as we created our itinerary. We started off in Cape Town for two nights at More Quarters and a couple of days of site-seeing, then traveled the Zambian side of Victoria Falls for an additional two nights and site-seeing with our guide - Abi - at the Tongabezi Lodge - it couldn't have been more beautiful or relaxing. From there we traveled to Lower Zambezi and four nights at the Chongwe River Camp. During the days we traveled out with our guide (Sam) to see wildlife and the breathtaking African bush. From Lower Zambezi we traveled to the South Luangwa National Park and our new "home" at Mchenja. Again we traveled out into the bush with our guide (Rabby) and even spend an overnight in a dry river bed - enjoying the heavens without any competition from surface lights. It was without a doubt one of the most beautiful evenings imaginable - it was the first time I had ever seen the Milky Way in all of splendor. Then back to Johannesburg for two days and one night at the Peech Hotel before flying back to the US. Thanks to Meg's planning on our behalf, our feet never touched the ground - everything from flight arrangement, to being met at the airports, to ground transportation, to our reservations at hotels and the camps were covered flawlessly. And the accommodations were wonderful, food was delicious, the attentiveness of the staff outstanding, and the menu of "adult beverages" was complete. All-in-all a great experience orchestrated by Meg and Scott Dunn. We have another family celebration trip coming up in 2024 and wouldn't think of doing it without the help of Meg and Scott Dunn. read more

I had the opportunity to have Lili LeBaron as my travel consultant, and she was nothing short of amazing! She was very detailed oriented, which made my trip perfect! My great experience with Scott Dunn came strictly from my interaction with her, and she has earned my business for good now! Very friendly, communicates trip updates in a timely manner, and prides herself in making your trip the best! My one suggestion for the company would be to add more excursions to your list; I believe this would further increase interest in your service. Some of the excursions I actually wanted to do had to be booked separately from the rest of my itinerary which could get a bit confusion. read more

Trip of a lifetime to Morocco! We worked with Rachael Mendizabal at Scott Dunn to plan our 2 week trip to Morocco. She truly understood the type of trip we were looking for and all of our accommodations and activities exceeded expectations. We had a nice balance of guided tours and time to wander on our own. read more

We have used Scott Dunn three times for amazing vacations. Our latest was a 10 day trip to Barbados and Saint Lucia. we worked with Lucy and all we knew was we wanted to go to the Caribbean. Lucy recommended amazing destinations and properties. She arranged everything, from VIP services at the airport, to transfers to and from the properties, to airfare between islands to exceptional restaurants for dinner, We loved everything so much, we are talking about booking for next year! Thanks to the Scott Dunn team, Lucy and Jake for making our vacation perfect! read more

We worked with Ashley Hall for a trip to Rome for our 50th wedding anniversary. Ashley was AWESOME and organized a fabulous trip for us. She was so responsive and answered multiple daily emails from me! The hotel, Villa Spalletti Trivelli, was amazing with incredible staff who couldn't do enough for us! Ashley planned a perfect 4-day trip for us with wonderful drivers, great tours, fantastic food, a perfect location, and wonderful sights. We can't wait to work with Scott Dunn for our next trip. read more

If you are looking for bespoke travel with private guides, amazing experiences and top-notch personal service, then Scott Dunn is for you. The secret sauce is their deep and longstanding relationships with travel partners all over the world. Any adventure or experience they recommend is one they've done themselves. We've been creating adventures with Scott Dunn for years - over a dozen trips so far. We've been all over Europe, the UK and Mexico. With the Pandemic, we pivoted to domestic travel - the East Coast, Wine Country, Alaska, Hawaii, and the American West. With the world slowly opening back up, we're looking forward to Africa, Japan, more Europe and Patagonia. To put it simply, we don't want to travel without Scott Dunn. There has been a lot of instability in the travel industry because of the Pandemic - we had several trips in various planning stages when the world shut down in 2020. Scott Dunn was amazing - we didn't lose a dime. We were able to reschedule any adventure we could and got refunds for the rest. The people at Scott Dunn - John, Gwen, Tor and so many others has always been so easy to work with. They are super responsive and always follow through. They understand how important trust is. I cannot recommend Scott Dunn enough, go have an adventure, give them a call and they'll make it happen for you. read more

I cannot express how impressed I am with Scott Dunn Travel. They went above and beyond on planning a wonderful trip for my husband and I to Amangiri in Utah. Gwen Nicol gave us great ideas on excursions. She also gave me some good romantic ideas to surprise my husband for our anniversary. Thank you Scott Dunn Travel for another fantastic trip read more

Loss of over $3800.00 because Scott Dunn wouldn't cancel some of our trip we could not get to due to weather. There was enough time to cancel flights and final hotel stay, getting us some of our money back. They would not do anything. read more

We took an incredible trip to Greece this year which was our 4th trip with Scott Dunn. Ashley really took the time to listen to what we wanted and designed it flawlessly for us. She had many wonderful suggestions and convinced me to choose an island we had not originally planned to travel to. It turned out to be our favorite. Ashley, as well as all the other travel agents at Scott Dunn have never let us down and they have always been totally available to help and answer the many many questions I always have when planning a trip. Our 5th trip is already planned for next year and we look forward to working with them in the years to come. I highly recommend them! read more

Could not be more DISAPPOINTED with S&D. 3 week trip that has many disappointments included a booked 40 minute flight that turned into a 7+ hour drive, a room so small we could not open our luggage. My only recommendation would be to AVOID at all costs. read more

This review is a little late but we worked with Jade at Scott Dunn for a trip to SA in Dec of last year - She was absolutely amazing. Quick to communicate and answer any questions we had, sent over a great itinerary and made sure everything was ready before the trip. The trip itself was beautiful, relaxing, fun, and memorable. We will use them again for future trips, and we recommend them to anyone looking to travel. read more

If you are looking for someone to do it all for you and you sit back and relax, this company is the one for you! My husband is in the travel industry and is very picky when it comes to hotels and transportation. We chose to go through Renata Da Silva to take our annual vacation to a new locale (for us), Costa Rica. After a layover in a beautiful San Jose hotel, we were off to our first stop, Pacuare Lodge; It was pristine. Everyone should experience pampering, adventures, great food, and spectacular accommodations once in their life! After our exciting departure on cat 3/4 white water rapids, we were whisked away by private car to our next hotel near aranal. Another 3 days of beautiful adventures and views (minus clouds and wet weather, you are in the rainforest). Our last location was the cloud forest where we spent a day ziplining and another searching for the exotic quitzol. We had a great time with both. It was a great experience! Thank you, Renata! read more

I've booked several trips (New Zealand, Hawaii, Italy...) with Scott Dunn, and would highly recommend them. They are knowledgeable, thorough and very detail oriented. They have first hand knowledge of the destinations including the accommodations, transfer and activities. The guides they provide are amazing. Ashley Hall recently planned a trip to northern Italy for me and two friends. She was so patient and dedicated to accommodating three people with different personalities and priorities. It was not an easy task! But she always had a positive can do approach, and she planned an amazing trip for us! read more

Five star all the way. Ashley was so accommodating and easy to work with. She had great suggestions, but also listened attentively to our vision of our trip. From the moment we landed until the moment we had to depart we were pampered and very well taken care of. After our experiences it would be difficult to have anyone but Scott Dunn plan our journeys. read more

My wife and I booked our honeymoon to Peru with Scott Dunn Travel. One employee in particular, Renata Da Silva, meticulously planned our trip and ensured that everything went off without a hitch. Everyone who works for the company exhibited exceptional professionalism and care during the planning process. The lodging suggestions were incredible, and we were guided through Peru so nicely by Scott Dunn. On those scores alone, we would recommend Scott Dunn to anyone, for any travel need. But Scott Dunn went above and beyond, at every turn, to make sure that our honeymoon felt truly special to us. They communicated with every hotel we stayed at to leave a special note/treat. We could not be more grateful for the attention to small details that Scott Dunn Travel seemed to care so much about. Travel with them! read more

We had an amazing trip to Africa, Gorilla Trekking in Uganda, Safari in Kenya, and the beach in Zanzibar. If you are taking a trip to Africa, ask for Meg! read more

We recently used Scott Dunn to plan a trip to Ecuador, including Quito and the Galapagos. It was amazing. The accommodations were all incredible. All unique and special in their own ways. They knew just what activities to suggest to make sure the itineraries were tailored to our needs, even when we were not the best at expressing those needs. Scott Dunn made getting from one location to the next within the country seamless and worry free. This was our third trip with them and cannot wait to do a fourth. read more

Incredible South African Adventure We worked with Meg Shepro and Jade Weidenfeller to plan our bucket-list trip to South Africa. We spent 5 days in Cape Town and 5 days on safari. The vacation was absolutely amazing - it feels like it was a dream. They helped us prepare (I know we wouldn't have been ready without our planning calls) and gave us all the information we needed to have a successful trip before we even left. From the moment we stepped off the plane in Cape Town until we boarded our plane to head home, we were taken care of. Our accommodations in both Cape Town and on safari were exceptional. The suggested restaurants were delicious - our boys (11 & 14) tried and loved so many new dishes. Our activities were tailored for all of us to enjoy. There was a perfect blend of adventure and culture, and all of our guides were incredibly knowledgeable and personable. We could not have done this without them and cannot recommend them highly enough. read more

Alison planned an OUTSTANDING trip to Peru for my wife and I! First, the level of service provided by their counterparts in Peru: the drivers and guides provided detailed information and schedules throughout the trip. We were never confused as to where or when to go next. They were always punctual and had all our paperwork and tickets in order. They even went to Cusco airport in advance and had our boarding passes and luggage tags for us for the internal flight. The guides were very knowledgeable on the local history and Peruvian culture. They all spoke good English. The accommodations exceeded our expectations. Even though we had seen the photos of the facilities online, they were all even better in real life. The service at all four hotels was great. At our Titilaka hotel, I think there were actually more staff than guests. They were very attentive. At Sol y Luna, we paid for an upgrade to the casita with two fireplaces and outdoor jacuzzi. It was awesome! All four properties were very unique. We did not have many issues with the altitude...I think it helped that our itinerary started us in Sacred Valley and worked up to Lake Titicaca. We would highly recommend Scott Dunn Travel and would use them again. read more

This is our first time using Scott Dunn to arrange travel. They did an excellent job organizing our trip to Kenya. They had a ground crew in Kenya that met us at the airport and facilitated the arrival and departure process. They also arranged all transportation to and from all lodging. It was an excellent experience and we would not hesitate to use the agency again and in fact already trying to get a family trip together. Tajik was our contact at Scott Dunn and he was excellent! Very thorough and happy to answer our questions. read more

I have been contacted by Scott Dunn's legal council for a review I wrote. They have demanded a retraction and have said I must include the following: Your false and misleading statements are defamatory, have damaged Scott Dunn's reputation and must be corrected.  Demand is hereby made that you post a correction to your review on Yelp on or before Friday, March 19, 2021.  Specifically, your review must mention: That your trip was cancelled due to an illness unrelated to COVID and that you have insurance to cover your loss; and Scott Dunn has offered to assist you with the claim. That Scott Dunn has refunded amounts to customers when not paid to third party suppliers. That no lawsuits are pending against Scott Dunn. That Scott Dunn did refund amounts to customers and/or rescheduled or postponed trips due to COVID. While Scott Dunn does not like getting negative reviews, it will not tolerate reviews based on false and misleading information. We look forward to seeing the corrected review on or before Friday, March 19, 2021. There you have it. Everything I said was absolutely false and everything Scott Dunn's legal council says is 100% accurate. They are the best travel service one could ever hope to find. Please accept my apology Scott Dunn as I was angry that I lost over $15,000 for a trip I could not take. Ed Boyd read more
