Vacation Like a Local

Home » Local Colorado News » Vacation Like a Local

July 27, 2018 by Kevin W

Planning a vacation to an unfamiliar destination is often times difficult, especially in a small mountain town like Summit County.  Setting a trip up yourself can be hard work.  Especially one that hits some of the local hot spots.  It takes lots of time and research, which is why many people seek help when booking a trip.  Most travel agents will point you toward Summit Counties popular destinations, which are plentiful here in the mountains and great for first time travelers. BUT if you have that irresistible urge to break away from the crowds then this type of travel package may not be for you.  So how do you book a trip that allows you to vacation like a local?  Easy!  You book with a Summit County local who knows how to travel.  Fortunately for you we have a Sales agent right here at Summit express who fits the mold!

a Quiet Morning in the Clouds of Summit County

If you were looking into taking a vacation to Summit County Colorado and were looking for some great local help, Don’t fall victim to the typical activities here in the mountains.  Set up a trip that will allow you to see the sights and enjoy the activities that really keep the locals here for the long haul.

Other Tips for Traveling like a Local

  • Book your transportation up to Summit County with Summit Express (our drivers and sales agents have lots of local information to share)
  • Try looking for local Air B&Bs
  • Avoid hotels and adventure destinations that are first in search results
  • Talk to the locals. A lot of them will be happy to share their (second) most favorite place to adventure to

Absolutely loved working with Summit Express! Could not have been better. We were shuttled from DIA to Breckenridge various times over two months, using 28 shuttles in total. Not once did Summit Express make a mistake, every transfer was perfect. Always on time!

We loved their friendly customer service. They were flexible when we had to change our schedule multiple times at the last minute, courteous to our needs, and they really cared about making us content with what we were buying. They are all about their customers and I could not think of a better company to use.

Our flight arrived a little early. A quick phone call Summit Express was able to change our reservation to put us on the next pickup, instead of waiting another two hours in the airport. We were on our way to our final destination in minutes!

Very accommodating. Thanks.

Our driver, Jeff, was friendly and accommodating. His contributions to our conversations made the ride fun. He tolerated 7 chatty women exceptionally well!

Using the private shuttle to get to the airport was perfect! It was so much easier than using rental cars! Summit Express will be our airport travel mode from now on!

From now on, these guys are my new shuttle service when travel around Colorado. We had a mishap with our luggage while on our way to Breckenridge.  When we realized it, United Airlines called me and explained to me that I had to go back to the airport. Scott, from Summit immediately asked me if he could speak to the rep.

Long story short, Scott tried to explain to the rep that they can go back to the airport and pick up our luggage…they’ve done it before for customers in the past.  Unfortunately, United couldn’t give us a straight answer, so my friend and I had to make the 2 hour drive back to Denver.

Either way, Summit and Scott were amazing. They gave us a great rate to go back to the airport and back to Breckenridge.

Go with Summit if you plan to make trips around Colorado. I highly recommend them.

I want to thank you for your excellent services yesterday in particularly lousy weather. Your team called me on Saturday to alert me to impending weather concerns and the fact that I might have troubles making my flight home Sunday. The dispatcher put me on an earlier than planned shuttle and got me to the airport on time. The trip from FTC to DIA took four hours and your driver Dave did a nice job. I will use your service again and I will recommended it to others. The bottled water was appreciated as well.

The exceptional personal service provided by everyone in your company from the online chat, phone calls with customer service agent, drivers and representative at the airport, arriving for pick up at the EXACT time, sending text message reminders… Your company excels at everything a customer wants and needs. The bottom line is that you provide a personal experience, in the future we will only use your company.
