We believe every traveller deserves an authentic adventure.
We craft detailed travel guides so you can spend more time exploring and less time planning.
How It All Began
The Itinerary Planner began with a simple frustration — spending hours online trying to find reliable travel info, only to end up on tours that felt rushed or inauthentic
The Itinerary Planner was born out of frustration.
After years of traveling and trying to find authentic experiences online, I kept running into the same issue — cookie-cutter tours, overcrowded itineraries, and vague advice from people who’d never even been there, or worse, just referring back to the same cookie-cutter tours.
I started creating my own research-backed itineraries for family and friends, blending the best of local culture, great value, and unforgettable moments. Soon, I realized that so many people wanted the same thing — a trip that feels effortless yet meaningful and a trip which includes exactly what you want.
That’s when I decided to build The Itinerary Planner — a place where travellers can access thoughtfully curated guides, complete with hand-picked stays and authentic activities.
“I believe travel is about connection — not just ticking off sights.”
