Scott Dunn - Solana Beach, California

We just returned on Nov. 10, 2024 from a trip to Egypt and Jordan organized by Jackie Roth with Scott Dunn Travel. It was a trip of a lifetime and Scott Dunn hit it out of the park with all of our special requests for a more private VIP experience. We were totally spoiled at every turn and had more meet and greet handling than you can imagine. Scott Dunn has been working in Egypt for many years and is very well connected. Not only did they plan the trip to perfection but their local contacts in country were fantastic. Arranged in our itinerary were special private experiences such as early morning access to the Great Pyramids, private time at the Spinx Paws, elite 4 night sailing cruise down the Nile on a traditional Dahabiya sailing vessel, camping in the Wadi Rum desert, magical hotels and much more. We also had the same extremely knowledgeable guide throughout Egypt. We did not experience any safety issues in either Egypt or Jordan, on the contrary. We were welcomed with friendly faces and greetings everywhere. I would not hesitate going to Egypt and Jordan with Scott Dunn now or anytime in the future.

After living overseas for 2 decades and 35 years of international travel we came home saying this was one of our best trips ever. Thank you Jackie Roth and Scott Dunn for going above and beyond!

We just returned from a fabulous trip to New Zealand arranged by Lucy R., Josephine T. and their assoicates at Scott Dunn Travel. This was our second trip arranged by the Scott Dunn company. My wife (also my girfirend for 51 years) are exeperienced travels and have a pretty good idea how we prefer to travel. Lucy and Josephine got it exactly right! The pacing of the trip, the lodges they recommended and, most importantly , how well they handled the hiccups that always occur even on the best planned trips. A last minute flight cancellation and a day tour change due to local fire conditions were dealt with seemlessly. Most importantly, Lucy and Josephine were clearly invested in helping make the trip a lasting memory for us. We used Scott Dunn to arrange a trip to Morocco with a different agent who specilized in the area a few years ago. We had the same experience. When we asked Scott Dunn to arrange a family adventure to Kenya last year, they advised us that they could not schedule the trip at the type of lodges we requested because it was too late to do so. That says something special about how Scott Dunn Travel maintains its standard of quality. We are looking forward to working with a Scott Dunn agent who specializes in Japan early next year. Just a fabulous company to work with.
A special thank you to Lucy.

My husband and I just returned from our 10th wedding anniversary trip in Peru! We had the pleasure of working first with Jake, who helped us narrow down our trip options based on budget, interests, and time of year. We had not even considered Peru prior to speaking with him, and really appreciated the guidance with so many amazing places to visit in the world!

After identifying Peru on our shortlist, Jake introduced us to Julie, who is a Peru expert on the Scott Dunn team! She built an amazing itinerary for us that enabled us to pack an enormous amount in to a 10 day trip, while leaving us refreshed and carefree. Every little details from hotel check ins to our train seats and private car transfers was thought of. Each location we traveled to was aware it was our anniversary, and small touches like room upgrades and welcome bottles of champagne were waiting for us wherever we went. If I had planned this trip, it would have taken me months, I would have been stressed the entire time we were there, and we would have only gotten to see and do half the things we did. All of my friends, family, and colleagues have remarked at how happy we look in our photos.

I'm so glad we chose Scott Dunn and had Julie's help with our first trip! We know we will be back to Peru someday, but in the meantime, we are already trying to decide on our NEXT destination with Scott Dunn. Thank you to the whole team!

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.

We can't begin to express what a phenomenal trip Scott Dunn curated for us to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary! We started in Paris, traveled to Champagne, and then on to Milan before we wrapped up our incredible trip on Lake Como. To say that the Scott Dunn team left no stone unturned would be an absolute understatement. They thought of everything and they threw in several nice surprises along the way. They were careful to listen to our needs and preferences, and they ensured that each day of our trip reflected our unique interests. Their attention to detail is matched by their obsession with quality service. At every turn, we were met by professionals who are committed to world-class service. Needless to say, this will not be our last time working with Scott Dunn!

Julie Norton was an exceptional travel advisor! As someone who typically loves planning trips myself, it had been years since we’d considered working with a travel agent. However, with our busy schedules and our 20th wedding anniversary approaching, we decided to give Scott Dunn a try—and we’re so glad we did.

Julie guided us through a range of destination options with endless patience, ultimately helping us choose Panama. Her extensive experience in Latin America and firsthand knowledge of the resorts she recommended made all the difference. Every detail of our trip was thoughtfully planned, from accommodations to invaluable advice on local customs like tipping and managing cash versus credit card use.

The trip was incredible, and we enjoyed it so much that we’ve already enlisted Julie’s help for another adventure—this time a mom-and-son trip to Costa Rica for Spring Break! I can’t wait! I only wish Julie could plan all of our travels, no matter the destination.

Thank you to Julie for creating a perfectly balanced trip to Costa Rica for me and my husband. As this was our second trip to the country, she suggested visiting the Osa Peninsula and Manuel Antonio areas. We saw so many birds and animals right from our rooms at the beautiful hotels she selected. From the friendly drivers to the knowledgeable and accommodating guides, the trip was seamless. I would definitely book with Scott Dunn again!

Ashley Hall, and everyone I worked with at Scott Dunn, provided exceptional service, creating a truly amazing experience for my husband and I as we toured Italy for the first time. I requested luxury, with several private experiences, and they delivered! Everything was like clockwork, and we were made to feel as though we were special guests everywhere we went. Scott Dunn, and Ashley Hall in particular, ensured everything was going according to plan throughout, with several special touches added, and numerous upgrades. Definitely five star service!!!
