We create detailed itineraries, packing guides, and travel tips to help you plan memorable trips with your loved ones.

We started Ohtheplaceswesee after years of traveling with our own families and learning what works best for different ages and budgets.
Last summer, our founder got lost with two toddlers in Zion National Park because we followed outdated trail maps. That scary experience taught us to always check current conditions and carry backup plans.
Our travel experts hold certifications from the American Society of Travel Advisors and work directly with tourism boards worldwide.
When we write about Costa Rica with kids, we spent three weeks there testing every activity we recommend. Our Disney World itinerary comes from 15 visits with families of different sizes and budgets.
