What travelers actually said

Feedback from people who planned a trip using the system. We publish the three and four star reviews as well, because a page of perfect scores tells you nothing.

★★★★★Lisbon, 4 nights

We had picked the country and then got stuck for weeks. The choose section sorted that out in one evening, mostly because it asks what the trip is for instead of showing endless photos. Ended up in Lisbon and it fit us exactly.

★★★★★Italy, 8 days

We used the cultural route almost exactly. Two and a half days a city sounded short and turned out to be right. The reminder to book museum slots early saved us in Florence.

★★★★Japan, 7 days

The seven day Japan route is close to what I actually did. I dropped Osaka and stayed longer in Kyoto, which the notes basically told me was an option. Only thing I'd add is more on regional trains outside the main line.

★★★★Iceland south coast

The buffer day advice for Iceland is correct and I ignored it, which was my mistake. Weather closed a road and we lost most of a day. Site told me, I just didn't listen.

★★★★★Southern coast, 5 days

Honestly the advice about staying in one base saved our holiday. Last year we moved hotels three times with two kids and it was miserable. This time, one apartment, five days, everyone happier.

★★★★★Barcelona, 6 nights

The neighbourhood guidance is the useful part. We chose an area based on the metro line and the walk to a park rather than the photos, and it worked out much better than our usual approach.

★★★★Dubai stopover

Used the departure and airport material before a long haul with a tight connection. Clear, no filler. It didn't answer everything about my specific airline, but the general structure was right.

★★★★★Bangkok, 10 days

Solid practical content and the packing guides are sensible. I did want more depth on visa questions for longer stays in Southeast Asia, that part felt thin compared to the rest of the site.

★★★★★Andalusia, 5 days

I like that the local experiences pages don't try to sell tours. It's a description of what a place is actually like, and then you decide. Found two small places in Granada I would never have looked for.

★★★★★Weekend on the coast

The weekend template is almost too simple, and that is why it worked. One booked dinner, one walk, nothing else. Best two nights away we've had in years.

★★★★Norway, 6 days

Good structure overall. The fjord route gave us the sequence and the ferry timings, which is the bit that usually goes wrong. Would have liked a couple more budget options for Bergen, it is a costly city.

★★★★Rome, 4 days

Took the one major site per day rule seriously with a seven year old. It meant we saw less and enjoyed all of it. The practical notes on dress rules at churches were handy too.

How we handle reviews

Edited for length, never for tone

Reviews come from travelers who contacted us after a trip. We correct obvious typos and cut identifying details. We do not remove criticism, and we do not pay for feedback.
