How it works
Answer a few questions and get a finished trip plan, built around your dates and your group. We’re independent, so each part of your trip links to several providers, and you compare them and book with the one you prefer.
Plan my trip-
1
Tell us about your trip
A short form, not a chat. It takes about two minutes:
- Where you’re going and your dates
- Who’s travelling: a couple, friends, a family with young children or teens
- Your pace, from relaxed to packed
- What you enjoy: history, food, nature, beaches, art and more
- Anything we should know: step-free access, dietary needs, a request in your own words
-

We build your plan around the details
Your plan starts from our own database of places, day trips and planned days. Where it doesn’t cover something yet, AI fills the gap, so you can plan anywhere. Each day is then arranged around the rules below, and places that don’t fit are moved to another day or replaced.

Book what you like, your way
Stays, tickets and journeys have booking links, set to your dates where the provider allows. Compare providers, swap anything you don’t fancy, and book only what you want. Your booking is directly with the provider.
What we plan around
The things a general AI chat tends to miss, and the reasons plans fall apart on the day.
Open on the day you’re there
Known weekly closing days, renovations and seasonal closures, matched to your dates.
Day trips worth the journey
Real travel times, a sensible limit on hours spent travelling, and no two trips that are really the same day.
Right for your group
Young children, step-free access, fitness and pace all shape which places make the plan.
A day you can actually walk
Stops close enough together to enjoy, in an order that makes sense, with lunch and dinner options nearby.
The right season
No beach days in the cold months, and events and highlights matched to when you travel.
A database that keeps growing
Every week, we check the new places the AI has suggested against Google’s listings and add the ones that pass to our database, so every plan helps the next one.

Questions
Why not book everything on one travel site?
Every travel site plans your trip around what it sells, so its own hotels, tours and flights come first. We don’t sell travel. Each part of your plan links to several providers, so you can compare them and book directly with whichever you prefer. We don’t check or compare prices ourselves; the provider’s page shows the live price.
Is it free?
Yes. Planning is free and you don’t need an account.
How do you make money?
When you book through a link in your plan, the provider may pay us a commission. We don’t add any fees; the price is set by the provider.
Do you book anything for me?
No. You book directly with the provider you choose, so your booking, payment and any changes are with them.
Can I change my plan?
Yes. Swap any activity, add a restaurant, reorder a day or swap a whole day trip, all from your plan.
Are the times and prices live?
No. Opening hours and travel times come from our own database and are reviewed regularly, but places can change their hours, close or sell out at short notice. Always confirm with the provider before you go. Prices, availability and train timetables are shown live on the provider’s page.
What if a place is closed or something goes wrong?
Your plan is a guide, so we can’t promise that a place will be open, available or as described on the day. Anything you book is with the provider, so changes, cancellations, refunds and complaints are handled by them under their terms. If something in your plan looks wrong, please let us know so we can fix it for the next traveller.
Are you a travel agent?
No. We don’t sell travel, take payments or make bookings, and we aren’t a tour operator. Your contract is with the provider you book with. Any financial protection, such as ATOL for flights and holidays, depends on the provider and what you book with them.
Can I rely on the accessibility information?
We use it to shape your plan, but needs differ and venues change. If step-free access or other needs matter to your trip, please check the details with the venue before you go.
Why is a flight price different when I click through?
The fares on our flight deals page were found by other travellers in the last day or two. Fares change and seats sell out, so the price you see on the flight search is the live one. Prices shown in US dollars are converted and approximate.
Can I plan a trip to several cities?
Single-city trips with day trips are available now. Trips across several cities and countries are coming soon.
