How Gripsters Guide works

From blank slate to bookable itinerary in minutes, built around how you travel — not how everyone else does.

01

Build your profile

Your pace, interests, mobility preferences, and what you actively want to avoid. One profile, remembered forever.

02

Describe your dream trip

As vague or specific as you like. "Three weeks in Japan, no package tours, good food" is plenty to start.

03

Refine in conversation

Your AI planner drafts a full itinerary then listens as you tweak it. Change anything, instantly.

04

Book with confidence

Flight and hotel links curated to your preferences, with free cancellation flagged and walking distances noted.

Every detail thought through

🚶

Realistic walking distances

Every itinerary notes how far you'll walk between stops — no nasty surprises.

🛏️

Comfort-first accommodation

Filter for lifts, quiet locations, good beds. No compromises you didn't choose.

🔄

Flexible bookings by default

We flag free cancellation options prominently. Plans change — bookings should too.

💊

Medical & pharmacy proximity

Know where the nearest pharmacy and hospital is for every destination.

🍽️

Dietary preferences remembered

Tell us once. Every restaurant suggestion across every trip respects your needs.

📞

Human backup available

Premium members can reach a real travel advisor anytime. AI first, human when it matters.

Real trips. Real freedom.

"Finally a travel tool that doesn't assume I want a coach tour. I've done three solo trips with Gripsters Guide and every itinerary has been spot on — my pace, my interests."
— Margaret, 67 · Edinburgh
★★★★★
"The walking distance feature alone is worth it. I have a dodgy knee and knowing I won't be surprised by a 2km uphill walk to a restaurant changes everything."
— David, 61 · Melbourne
★★★★★
"We used it to plan six weeks across Southeast Asia. We tweaked the itinerary about twenty times before we left and it just adapted each time. Brilliant."
— Robert & Susan, 58 & 56 · Toronto
