  • "I used Dashing Departure to plan my best friend's 40th birthday and it was amazing! I love that I got to choose from different itineraries and all the unique things recommended. I would have never thought to do the kayak bike and brew event and we had a blast! On top of that, not having to research and call a bunch of restaurants to see who accepts large parties was such a time saver! I would highly recommend Dashing Departure."
