Drive the US - Chicago, Illinois

Drive the US was a GREAT resource for us. It was a daunting task to plan the trip that we wanted until we met Shaun, Owner of Drive the US. We had an initial call with him to talk about what was most important to us (Dates, places, events, parks, etc) and he gave us great direction and suggestions. Once we booked everything, he put ALL of our destinations, reservations, fun facts into one easy travel app that we found invaluable during our trip. I would highly recommend using Shaun/Drive the US for any of your National Park travels!

Loved working with Drive the US for our road trip planning this summer. We recently took a tour of the Utah and Arizona parks and Shaun gave us so many great options and tips for hidden gems including an awesome homemade pie stop in Capitol Reef park. These trips are a ton of work to research and plan and it was invaluable to have the help of Drive the US to lay out our routes and schedules for us. Shaun is the perfect combination of enthusiasm and experience and we will be back soon to plan our next road trip adventure with Drive the US.

Had the most amazing 3 week long road trip thanks to Drive the US. Shaun's knowledge and familiarity of the national parks and surrounding areas is incredible. We visited several cities and towns across Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Wyoming, Montana, and South Dakota. He mapped out the whole trip fine tuning it to our interests and kept in contact with us throughout the trip. Food, parks, hotels, directions, activities, and more were all planned out for each day. His services are essential for any road trip. My girlfriend and I are definitely using him for our next trip.

What can I say, Drive The U.S. was an absolute game changer during our 6-day trip out west!!! My wife and I drove a camper van through each of the 5 Utah National Parks, and I can't imagine the trip without DTUS – we would actually joke that Shaun was the third man on our trip 🙂 Our trip was expertly laid out in an easy to use, point-by-point app, complete with navigation and customized DTUS notes for each stop. One of the biggest benefits of using DTUS was helping us plan our days – when to enter the parks, what to see while we were there, and when to get the farg out. Shaun even made himself available during our trip as we had questions or when we needed to call an audible. And the scenic routes!!! The scenic routes DTUS took us on rivaled the experience of the actual parks themselves, and left to my own devices we would have totally missed out. Bottomline, hire Drive The U.S. for your next trip – the peace of mind, attention to detail, expertise, and passion for travel you'll get in return is worth every penny! Thanks so much, Shaun!

Very highly recommend!!! I will never go on a road trip again without Shaun's help. My family loves to travel, but hates the tedious planning. Shaun customized the trip just for us, researched top rated restaurants and accommodations, confirmed that parks/activities were open, and even suggested movies related to our destinations for kids to pass the time in the car! He's equally knowledgeable about urban and rural areas. Best of all, Shaun was our biggest cheerleader, checking in with us along the way!

Our family, including elementary kiddos, did the big five national parks in Utah with the guidance of Shaun at Drive the US. His SPECIFIC recommendations were spot on - what parks, when, what time to go, added excursions, cute roadside motels, where to eat, what to expect. Our trip included an added twist of including another couple for a few days, and he helped with lodging bookings where we could all stay together. Game changer to plan road trip with Shaun. Highly recommend.

Shaun helped us plan an RV road trip college tour for our family over spring break. We traveled from Chicago to Tucson AZ and back with college visits and some National Park stops along the way. We had never traveled by RV before and there was a lot we didn’t know. Shaun made it super easy and I would bight recommend Drive the US. We had a very ambitious itinerary and Shaun worked with me to plan our route so that we could hit the schools we needed to visit and also find some time to visit National Parks and other sites in Moab Utah and the Grand Canyon along the way. Shaun helped select the right RV sites and suggested hotels where appropriate. He gave us great restaurant and activity recommendations and prepared a very easy to use Google doc itinerary to follow.

We had an amazing trip and Shaun was instrumental to its success. Kudos to Drive The Us!!

Sean put together an epic journey for us! He put together an epic trip and made recommendations we would not have even thought of. Our family will use him again for sure!!
