I just returned from a 10 day trip to Austria that was organized by Laura at Like Minds Travel and it was incredible! This was my second trip with the company. Everything is so well planned and there is plenty of communication before, during, and after each trip. The hotels are beautiful, comfortable, and centrally located for easy walking. Group meals were at fun and delicious locations. There is free time each day so that you can visit museums/restaurants/parks that aren't part of the schedule but you are interested in seeing. It's so wonderful to be able to enjoy a trip without having to deal and stress about all of the admin. Laura makes it all look so easy. It was a trip of a lifetime and I can't wait to book another with Like Minds Travel!

I went on the History Chicks trip to London, and it was one of the best trips I've ever taken. I usually travel alone, and I was a little nervous about who would be on the trip, if I would be rushed, and if I would be able to see places that were not on the tour. Because the group had similar interests, we got along delightfully from beginning to end. The schedule was a perfect balance of group activities and free time. I got to see everything on my can't miss list and then some. Laura also organized some special perks for us, like early admittance to see the crown jewels at the Tower of London and high tea with an expert at Fortnum & Mason. I could have never done that on my own. The communication and information throughout the process was timely and thorough, and Laura was always within reach. If you have a podcast group, or a different group with similar interests, Laura will plan an amazing experience for you, anywhere in the world. I look forward to taking other trips in the future.

I just returned from a fabulous 12 day trip to Austria, where I joined a group of “like-minded” travelers on a History Chicks field trip. This was my first group trip and it, hands-down, met all expectations due to the care and organization of Laura Hart and her company, Like Minds Travel. In coordination with the History Chicks podcasters, Laura was able to craft an itinerary that led the group through Austrian palaces, museums, cafes, historic homes, music events, waltz lesson, beautiful countrysides and left some free time each day for individuals to see and experience additional things of interest. The hotels and local transportation were top notch. She worked seemingly effortlessly to meet all the travelers’ needs. The communication before, during, and after the trip were exceptional. It was so fabulous not having to manage logistics while traveling in a new country. Looking forward to the next trip crafted by Laura and Like Minds Travel!

I'd never tried a group/package tour for travel anywhere until signing up for the History Chicks Field Trip to Washington DC with Like Minds Travel. The chance to meet and visit with the podcast hosts and fellow fans was very exciting, but it was Laura Hart's marvelous company that made it so easy and enjoyable to do. It was great for me, a frequent business traveler used to handling her own logistics, to relax and let Like Minds Travel manage all the details. The company's attention to detail and preferences for our very niche group interests was wonderful. Communication ahead of and during the trip was frequent, clear, and helpful. I never felt worried or stressed about this trip. Thank you, Laura and Like Minds Travel, for a wonderful experience!

I went on the History Chicks field trip to London planned by Like Minds Travel. It was an amazing experience. Laura kept in communication with us before and during the trip exactly the right amount, even sending us helpful information like how to use our Tube passes. She navigated 2 years of COVID delays, travel issues, and a rail strike with aplomb and kept her cool. I'm sure it was stressful for her, but she made sure everything felt smooth for the travelers (and there were 50 of us!). Plus she's very nice, and fun to talk with. The booklet Laura made and gave to us at the start of the trip was great and I used it so much it's all creased up! I would absolutely travel with Laura and Like Minds Travel again.

I can't recommend Like Minds Travel and Laura enough. I'm very much looking forward to traveling with this company again!!!! I honestly am not sure I can express how amazing Laura (Like Minds Travel) is. There was a large group of us, 55 to be exact. Despite this trip being planned at least 5 times, and changed due to Covid, Laura pulled it all off without a hitch. Our days were well organized, any hiccups were managed well, and Laura was definitely our fearless leader! Even when people got sick, or were running late, Laura somehow managed to take care of all of us for our 8 days in London England. The activities were fantastic and exactly what we wanted, being a history based group. They were for the perfect amount of time, and the balance between organized activities and our own activities/down time was wonderful. Laura was always available for questions, like when I got lost and couldn't find my way to our meeting spot. She was on top of last minute changes, which she had no control over such as the London Tube workers being on strike, and figuring out other ways for us to get to our tours on time.

I had a wonderful time with the Like Minds Travel group, hosted by Laura and Jamie in Washington D.C. I really appreciated that the group leaders were checking in with me throughout the week. This made me feel like I was safe and being looked after in a big, unfamiliar city, which was very important to me. They did an excellent job in ensuring that the travel and events went smoothly. I will definitely be returning for a future trip 🙂

I've had the pleasure of traveling with Laura Hart and was continually and repeatedly impressed by her get-it-doneness and her ability to navigate various situations and curve balls. I loved that I found myself truly checked out of logistics mode as I knew she had it taken care of. All I had to do was show up and that made for a TRUE vacation! Wish I could give more than five stars and I can't wait for the next trip!

If you want a great tour experience you have come to the right place. Everything from registering to getting documentation and meal preferences was sorted out smoothly. Great communication about absolutely everything before, during, and after the tour. They were able to accommodate my special request as well as make sure I didn't miss a supper cruise the afternoon I accidently found myself using the wrong time zone (thanks again for that!). Highly recommended. I have already signed up for another tour with them for the fall.

Laura was amazing with our History Chicks tour of New England. It was the perfect pace--we walked but not too much, we were on the bus but not overly so. We had more than enough time to actually enjoy the places we went to. We also had free time. We had a couple of early mornings but only when traveling between Boston and New Port. Everything from my point of view went very smoothly. Great communication all around about meeting times, etc. It was so, so enjoyable and I highly recommend.

The name says it all: Like Minds. Laura makes is easy to enjoy a trip with plenty of tours but plenty of free time. I loved the balance between the two. We hit all the highlights. And the group parties were a highlight for me. Thanks for a special trip to a place I've been before but never really appreciated! The Fall History Chicks trip to New England was wonderful.

I've gone on two tours with Like Minds Travel and what a joy they were! Each day was planned to be a special treat based around the group's shared interests, and even when things went awry (transit strike? What?!) Laura and her team seemed to magically produce solutions without anyone on the tour having to worry about a thing. I have never had such relaxed travel experiences than those two tours and I can't wait for the next one.

THANK YOU does not aptly express all we feel for Laura Hart and Like Minds Travel! We traveled to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, with all arrangements being made by Laura. I will never make my own arrangements again! Flights, hotel, tickets and transportation were all arranged, including an itinerary with explicit instructions. Unsure of what excursions to enjoy, Laura helped us select Xcaret. We have memories of a lifetime! We had one minor hiccup when checking in at the hotel and Laura had it taken care of the same day! Laura offers exemplary customer service! We can't wait to travel with Like Minds Travel again in June 2022 to London! Thank you, Laura!

I just wanted to drop a note of appreciation for Laura Hart. A friend and I will be taking the tour and Laura has helped us out a couple of times already. First, the original tour opened at a difficult time for Kris, and Laura worked with me to quietly get a space reserved as a surprise. Yesterday she switched us to the new tour date which is much better for my schedule, replying within 5 minutes of receiving an email late on a Friday evening just before a long weekend. Looks like the tour is in good hands! Laura is doing such good work responding to attendee emails and requests. I'm looking forward to June!

I want to thank Laura and Jennifer for planning such a lovely Art Curious trip through the French Riviera for us all. The art highlights were just so appealing to the senses…Matisse, Chagall, Renoir, Cezanne, Picasso, Miro, and all the other artists along the way. Breathtaking. And, Laura, you made it all so easy for us to relax into the experience, with the choice and location of hotel, the planning of buses and tours, and the kind flexibility to meet our tired needs along the way. The adventure exceeded my expectations, and I am so very grateful.

As you can see from the photo, our Chicklit book club from the Boston trip is still going strong. This month we read about Ruth Bader Ginsburg. We meet the third Sunday of the month and it’s a highlight for me! Part of our discussion last night was about how amazing it was to have so many “like minds” find each other. And it’s all thanks to you. You and your hard work are part of my Thanksgiving this year.
