“I am very well-travelled and have high expectations. I cannot fault John’s work in any way, it is exceptional”
Frances Potter, Shropshire.
When the Potter family were considering a landmark holiday in the US, they turned to Get Set Go owner John Lehnert for support.
Frances Potter wanted to organise a dream trip for her 60th birthday, taking along her husband, Gordon, two grown up children, and their spouses.
A tour of Yellowstone National Park was a must visit destination for Frances and a starting point for a conversation with travel expert, John.
She said: “I asked for a bespoke holiday in the US and went to John for support. We have known John for many years and one of his great strengths is he listens. He lets people talk at length about what kind of experiences they are searching for, and you can always rely on him to go away, do his research, and come back with potential solutions.
“I can always rely on John to come up with great ideas and we are confident that his attention to detail and care will be second to none, both while you are booking on holiday, and through to your return home. That’s extremely important when you are booking a bespoke holiday.”
The family flew to Denver from London Heathrow, with private luxury transfers from home to airport, arranged by Get Set Go. They then hired an SUV and drove to Jackson Hole, staying for two nights, before travelling on to Yellowstone. Next stop was a working ranch in Montana, before returning to Denver.
Frances said: “John’s attention to detail ensured this trip was extra special and a lifelong memory with our adult children.”
One example was the use of personal wildlife guides at Jackson Hole and Yellowstone. “The guides were worth every penny,” said Frances, “we had them accompany us on our first days at both Jackson Hole and Yellowstone. This enabled us to gain knowledge of what wildlife to spot and see and made a positive impact on our overall stay.
“In all, it was a 15-day itinerary. All the elements worked together well, for example, I love horses, and John arranged for us to visit and ride at a working ranch.
“I was very impressed with John. We are a well-travelled family, and we have high expectations – I can honestly say John exceeded them.
“Such a complex itinerary takes planning, and John’s plans certainly helped to make my 60th birthday US holiday.”
