Master Tour: The Next Killer App For Your Band

by Michael St. James | Jun 20, 2017 | Booking Gigs & Touring

If you’ve ever been on tour, no matter the size, you know that the hardest part is everything but the few hours you play.  It’s the arrangements: travel itineraries, tickets, merch stock, scheduling, interviews, lodging, guest passes, and so many more details. Emails and texts are ineffective when things get complicated.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIdxdjPdOvg

I was involved with a tour that used an app called Master Tour from Eventric , and it was an amazing experience; I wouldn’t tour without it now. I mean if it’s good enough for Queen Bey and Maroon 5 (plus hundreds of others), it’ll work for your tour. It’s an app that brings all of those nasty details into one place, affordably, distributed to everyone, without any special software, instantly.

Here’s how it works. An administrator – usually the tour/band manager – inputs the tour information into the web portal. Then, every member of your tour – from the drummer to the dancers to guitar techs and promo team – uses the free mobile app, which has all the information and communication built in. You get the schedules, setlists, call time, hotels, interview times, all of it.

Look, I’m not going to tell you this is an easy app/software to use, it isn’t. But, then again, neither is touring. It’s not meant to simple, it’s meant to be powerful, and it is.

The app has come a long way from its humble beginnings, and is adding new features all the time.

So, I spoke to CEO and co-founder, Paul Bradley, to get the inside scoop. I love Paul. He loves the business and is constantly thinking about how to streamline life for musicians and touring crews. Our interview ran about two hours and could’ve gone longer. So, this is edited for brevity.

The story of Master Tour starts with Paul finishing college in Des Moines, joining an independent label, becoming a booker, then tour manager, then road drummer for The Drovers in the ’90s – all before texts, email, and social. He and his partner, Ian Kuhn (sound for Smashing Pumpkins), developed custom databases in Filemaker (remember that?) and adapted the software for what the road demanded: venue lists, hotels, interviews, etc., and Ian took it with him when he joined Dave Matthews Band on tour.

By association with DMB, Paul met many other bands, like Beastie Boys and Barenaked Ladies; those early adopter bands used it, and gave feedback for improvements. As time went on, Filemaker was crashing and shipping discs to hundreds of bands made no sense. By  2005-2006, technology had improved and it was time to develop proprietary software to bring efficiencies for tour management, stadium level to small clubs. After some early investment, it took about four years to develop, and that’s really where Master Tour began.

Performer Mag: What problems is Master Tour meant to solve?

Paul Bradley: Efficiency and communication. That’s the core of what we’ve always tried to do. Now, everything is on a mobile phone; day sheet, interview times, guest lists, etc. The problem is that info is often spread out everywhere. A manager may be sending PDFs over email, sharing spreadsheets, and using multiple calendar apps. So, for tour managers, Master Tour is a place for all of this information in one app, with shared technology.

PM: How many users do you have now?

PB: 100,000+ on the mobile side.

PM: Let’s get into Tags.

PB:   It’s basically Yelp for touring people, by touring people. So, say you need to know the best coffeehouse in Seattle for post-gigs, or you found an awesome wine bar or museum for a day off in Chicago, or the perfect guitar tech in Biloxi. Open the Master Tour app and you can tag it, or you can see where other touring artists have tagged and commented. This may get more social as we go along, but it’s getting a lot of great reviews and being used a lot.

PM: Explain the two levels of Master Tour for our readers.

PB: Yes, we call it Professional and Mobile. Pro is the web portal accessed by the management team and they input the information on Master Tour desktop – that’s $49.99/mo. Mobile is the free app. So, the band, audio guys, techs etc. use that for free. It’s read-only mostly, but the team can do guest list requests, and also use Tags, if they’re anywhere in the world; they can privately or publicly tag a location – guitar shops, rental shops, videographers, coffee shops [and so forth]. PM: Any other new things we should know about?

PB: Yes, we continue to add more products and services for the touring universe; that is our focus. Live Access is a separate product that handles blocks of tickets and discounts and guest lists. But for Master Tour, we are adding on Master Venue, which is streamlining the venue side, from stage plots to dressing rooms, where the van or bus parking is, and much more. Also, Live Marketplace for connecting services.

As a tour manager, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth running of tours, providing an unforgettable experience for travelers. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the ins and outs of becoming a tour manager, from understanding the responsibilities to tips for career advancement. Let's dive in!

Understanding the Role of a Tour Manager

As a tour manager, you will be responsible for overseeing every aspect of a tour, from the planning and organization to the execution and completion. Your primary goal is to ensure that travelers have a memorable and enjoyable experience throughout the journey.

Imagine yourself standing in a bustling airport, surrounded by excited travelers ready to embark on their adventure. As a tour manager, you will be the guiding force behind their journey, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and seamlessly. From the moment they step off the plane to the final farewell, you will be there, orchestrating every detail.

But what exactly does it mean to be a tour manager? Let's dive deeper into the key responsibilities and skills required for this exciting role.

Key Responsibilities of a Tour Manager

As a tour manager, you will wear many hats. Some of your key responsibilities include:

• Managing logistics, such as transportation, accommodations, and meals
• Organizing sightseeing activities and excursions
• Providing information and assistance to travelers
• Handling emergencies and resolving any issues that may arise
• Building relationships with local service providers and suppliers

Imagine yourself navigating the labyrinthine streets of a foreign city, ensuring that the tour group arrives at their hotel safely and on time. You will be the mastermind behind the seamless coordination of transportation, making sure that everyone travels comfortably and efficiently. From arranging luxurious accommodations to selecting delectable meals that cater to various dietary preferences, you will be the architect of a truly unforgettable experience.

But it doesn't stop there. As a tour manager, you will also be the storyteller, weaving together fascinating historical and cultural narratives as you guide the group through iconic landmarks and hidden gems. Your knowledge and passion for the destinations will shine through as you share captivating stories and insider tips, making the journey come alive.

Of course, no journey is without its challenges. As the tour manager, you will be the problem-solver, ready to tackle any unexpected hurdles that may arise. From lost luggage to unforeseen weather conditions, you will think on your feet and find creative solutions to ensure that the tour continues smoothly.

Furthermore, building strong relationships with local service providers and suppliers is crucial. Your ability to connect with people from different backgrounds and cultures will not only enhance the tour experience but also create lasting partnerships that benefit both the travelers and the local communities.

Skills Required for the Job

To be an effective tour manager, you need a combination of hard and soft skills . Here are some of the key skills required:

• Excellent organizational skills: You will be juggling multiple tasks and deadlines, so the ability to stay organized is crucial.
• Strong communication skills: You will be interacting with travelers, service providers, and fellow team members, so effective communication is essential.
• Cultural sensitivity: You will work with people from diverse backgrounds, so being open-minded and respectful of different cultures is essential.

Imagine yourself effortlessly managing a complex itinerary, ensuring that every detail is meticulously planned and executed. Your organizational skills will be put to the test as you coordinate transportation, accommodations, and activities, all while ensuring that everything aligns seamlessly.

Effective communication will be your superpower. From providing clear instructions to the tour group to negotiating with local service providers, your ability to convey information and build rapport will be essential in creating a positive and enriching experience for everyone involved.

Cultural sensitivity is not just a skill, but a mindset. As a tour manager, you will have the privilege of immersing yourself in different cultures and interacting with people from all walks of life. Your openness and respect for diversity will foster meaningful connections and create a welcoming environment for travelers from around the world.

Finally, problem-solving will be your daily adventure.

These skills can be developed through education and hands-on experience. Let's explore the path to becoming a tour manager.

The Path to Becoming a Tour Manager

Are you passionate about travel and have a knack for organizing and managing events ? If so, a career as a tour manager might be the perfect fit for you. In this expanding industry, tour managers play a vital role in ensuring that travelers have a seamless and enjoyable experience. While a specific degree is not always required to become a tour manager, there are certain educational and experiential steps you can take to increase your chances of success.

Educational Background

While a degree is not a prerequisite for becoming a tour manager, having a background in hospitality , tourism, or event management can give you a competitive edge. Many universities and colleges in the UK offer courses specializing in these areas. These programs provide a comprehensive understanding of the industry, covering topics such as customer service, marketing, logistics, and event planning. By enrolling in these courses, you can gain valuable knowledge and skills that will be directly applicable to your future career as a tour manager.

Additionally, gaining practical experience through internships or part-time jobs in the tourism and hospitality industry can provide valuable insights and help you build a solid foundation for your career as a tour manager. Working in hotels, travel agencies, or event planning companies can expose you to the inner workings of the industry and give you a firsthand understanding of the challenges and opportunities that tour managers face on a daily basis.

Gaining Relevant Experience

Experience is key in the tour management industry. While formal education can provide you with the necessary theoretical knowledge, practical experience is what will set you apart from the competition. Consider starting your career by working as an assistant tour manager or volunteering for local tour providers. These opportunities will allow you to learn the ropes, make connections, and gain firsthand experience in tour operations.

Networking is also crucial in the industry. Attend career events, join professional organizations, and connect with experienced tour managers to expand your network and learn from their insights. Building relationships with industry professionals can open doors to new opportunities and provide valuable mentorship as you navigate your career as a tour manager.

Furthermore, staying up-to-date with industry trends and developments is essential for tour managers. The tourism industry is constantly evolving, and it is important to stay informed about new destinations, emerging travel trends, and technological advancements that can enhance the tour experience. By continuously learning and adapting, you can ensure that you are offering the best possible service to your clients.

In conclusion, while there is no one-size-fits-all path to becoming a tour manager, a combination of education, practical experience, and networking can greatly increase your chances of success in this exciting and dynamic field. By investing in your education, gaining relevant experience, and building a strong professional network , you can embark on a fulfilling career as a tour manager and help create unforgettable travel experiences for your clients.

Essential Tools for a Tour Manager

Being a tour manager requires a combination of skills, knowledge, and the right tools to ensure a successful and memorable experience for travelers. In today's digital age, technology plays a crucial role in streamlining operations and enhancing the overall traveler's experience. Let's explore some essential tools that every tour manager should consider incorporating into their workflow.

Technology in Tour Management

In recent years, technology has revolutionized the tour management industry, making it easier than ever to manage and organize tours efficiently. By embracing the right technological tools, tour managers can not only streamline their operations but also impress tech-savvy travelers who expect a seamless and immersive experience.

One essential tool for tour managers is online booking and reservation systems. These systems allow travelers to book their tours and make reservations conveniently and securely. By integrating such systems into their websites or platforms, tour managers can automate the booking process, saving time and reducing the risk of errors.

Mobile apps have also become indispensable tools for tour managers. These apps provide a convenient way to communicate with travelers and provide real-time updates. Whether it's notifying travelers about changes in the itinerary, sharing important information, or answering their questions, mobile apps facilitate seamless communication and enhance the overall travel experience.

Virtual tour platforms have gained popularity, especially in recent times when travel restrictions have limited physical travel. These platforms allow tour managers to offer remote experiences, where travelers can explore destinations virtually. By incorporating virtual tour platforms into their offerings, tour managers can cater to a wider audience and provide unique experiences that transcend physical boundaries.

Social media and online marketing tools are also essential for tour managers. These tools enable tour managers to promote their tours, engage with potential customers, and build a strong online presence. By leveraging social media platforms and online marketing tools, tour managers can reach a broader audience and create a buzz around their tours.

Communication and Organizational Tools

Effective communication and organization are vital for tour managers to ensure smooth operations and deliver exceptional tours. Here are some tools that can help tour managers in this aspect:

Project management software is a valuable tool for tour managers to manage tasks and timelines efficiently. With project management software, tour managers can create and assign tasks, set deadlines, and track progress. This tool helps ensure that all aspects of the tour are well-coordinated and executed seamlessly.

Communication platforms play a crucial role in facilitating collaboration among team members and travelers. These platforms allow tour managers to communicate with their team in real-time, share important updates, and address any concerns or issues that may arise during the tour. By having a centralized communication platform, tour managers can ensure that everyone is on the same page and can respond promptly to any changes or emergencies.

Travel planning apps are another valuable tool for tour managers. These apps provide features such as itinerary management, document storage, and travel logistics. By using travel planning apps, tour managers can keep track of the tour itinerary, store important documents such as travel permits and visas, and manage travel logistics efficiently. This tool helps tour managers stay organized and ensures that all necessary information is readily accessible.

By incorporating these communication and organizational tools into their workflow, tour managers can enhance their efficiency, improve communication with their team and travelers, and ultimately deliver exceptional tours that leave a lasting impression.

Challenges and Rewards of Being a Tour Manager

Dealing with difficult situations.

Being a tour manager is not without its challenges. From flight cancellations to medical emergencies, unexpected situations can arise. However, being resourceful, staying calm under pressure, and having contingency plans in place can help you navigate these challenges.

The Satisfaction of a Successful Tour

Despite the challenges, the rewards of being a tour manager are immeasurable. The joy of seeing travelers' faces light up as they explore new destinations, the satisfaction of creating lifelong memories, and the opportunity to connect with people from all walks of life make this career incredibly fulfilling.

Career Advancement Opportunities for Tour Managers

Further training and certifications.

To enhance your skills and advance your career, consider pursuing further training and certifications. These can include:

• Professional certifications in event management or tourism
• Language courses to broaden your communication abilities
• Specialized training in specific types of tours, such as adventure or cultural tours

Investing in continuous learning and professional development will make you a sought-after tour manager and open doors to new opportunities.

By staying proactive, continuously improving your skills, and seizing opportunities, you can carve out a successful and fulfilling career as a tour manager.

Tips and Advice for Aspiring Tour Managers

Building a network in the industry.

Networking is key to success in the tour management industry. Attend career fairs, join professional associations, and connect with industry leaders to expand your network. Building relationships with fellow tour managers, suppliers, and potential clients can lead to valuable opportunities and collaborations.

Staying Updated and Continuous Learning

The 7 Best Trip Planner Apps for Travelers

Sarah Schlichter

Deputy Executive Editor Sarah Schlichter's idea of a perfect trip includes spotting exotic animals, hiking through pristine landscapes, exploring new neighborhoods on foot, and soaking up as much art as she can. She often attempts to recreate recipes from her international travels after she gets home (which has twice resulted in accidental kitchen fires—no humans or animals were harmed).

Sarah joined the SmarterTravel team in 2017 after more than a decade at the helm of IndependentTraveler.com. Sarah's practical travel advice has been featured in dozens of news outlets including the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, USA Today, Budget Travel, and Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio.

The Handy Item I Always Pack: "A journal. Even years later, reading my notes from a trip can bring back incredibly vivid memories."

Ultimate Bucket List Experience: "Road tripping and hiking through the rugged mountains of Patagonia."

Travel Motto: "'To awaken quite alone in a strange town is one of the pleasantest sensations in the world.'—Freya Stark"

Aisle, Window, or Middle Seat: "Aisle. I get restless on long flights and like to be able to move around without disturbing anyone else."

Crafting a trip itinerary can be both fun and overwhelming. Which places are an absolute must-visit, and which ones can you skip? How much time should you spend at the art museum, and how close is it to that bookstore you want to check out? And how can you keep all your ideas and bookings neatly organized?

The best trip planner apps can help you answer those questions. I’ve found several that will help you discover the right places to go and organize your day-by-day itinerary in one handy place. Download these apps, and you can pitch your endless spreadsheets and Word docs into the recycle bin.

All of the following trip planner apps are free unless otherwise noted.

TripAdvisor

TripAdvisor ( iOS | Android ) is the granddaddy of trip planner apps. Unlike other apps that feature only major cities, TripAdvisor offers listings of both top attractions and hidden gems in just about every corner of the globe, along with restaurants, hotels, and vacation rentals. You can create customized itineraries by saving the places you’re interested in to the app’s new Trips feature . (Trips can be kept private or shared publicly.)

When you search for a city in the app, you’ll see a feed of other users’ trips, photos, videos, reviews, and articles about that destination, all offering ideas and inspiration. For more trip planning help, you can post your questions in the TripAdvisor forums , where destination experts offer in-depth advice.

Visit a City

Visit a City ( iOS | Android ) helps solve two common trip planning challenges: figuring out how long you need to spend at each place, and maximizing your vacation time by grouping nearby attractions together. When you select a destination, the app offers recommended sightseeing guides based on the number of days you plan to spend. For example, I put in that I was going to Paris, for three days and was given several itinerary options, including Top Attractions, Landmarks for Kids, Parks & Museums, Easy Going, and more. The app automatically puts nearby attractions together and lets you know how far apart they are (for instance, “three minutes by walking”). It also includes the estimated time that you’ll spend at each place.

You can edit the itinerary by changing the day you visit a place, revising the amount of time you spend there, or deleting the attraction altogether. (You’ll almost certainly have to do some editing, as the itineraries don’t include lunch or coffee breaks.) You can also book tours through the app and get general travel information about the destination, such as the best time of year to visit or tips for saving money.

The Best Sites to Book a Last Minute Vacation

CityMaps2Go

CityMaps2Go ( iOS | Android ) offers a handy offline maps that you can customize with personal points of interest. Even better, the app displays your location on the map whether you’re connected to data or Wi-Fi. The app includes thousands of offline maps from just about anywhere on Earth, which means it’s useful for travelers who don’t want to pay international data charges when heading overseas. 

You can create different lists for your trip (for example, separate lists for dining, bars, attractions, etc.), and the locations you add to the list will show up on your map. Info cards for each place include a review score, nearby accommodations, some basic information, and the ability to add notes of your own.

The fun part of trip planning is imagining all the cool places you’ll go. What’s not so fun? Figuring out the logistics of getting there. Fortunately, Rome2rio ( iOS | Android ) can help solve that problem. The app searches just about every mode of transportation—plane, train, subway, bus, ferry, taxi, Uber—to recommend the best way to get from point A to point B.

You can enter either two destinations within a given city or two points farther apart, and the app will display your options, including the time it’ll take to travel and the approximate cost. Note that the listings are for planning purposes only, and you can’t actually book your flights or tickets through the app.

TripIt ( iOS | Android ) is a fixture on “best travel apps” lists, and for good reason. It turns an inbox full of scattered booking confirmations and restaurant reservations into a single master itinerary that you can access offline, sync with your phone’s calendar, and share with loved ones. You simply forward each confirmation email to [email protected] and let the app do the rest.

Upgrade to TripIt Pro ($49/year) for other useful features such as real-time flight alerts, rewards program tracking, and the ability to locate alternate flights if your original plans are disrupted.

Culture Trip

The app arm of Culture Trip ( iOS | Android ) aims to bring travelers a little bit out of the mainstream (tagline: “For curious travelers”) by highlighting unique, off-the-beaten-path options in popular destinations. With recommendations for more than 200 destinations around the world, it’s a great way to bring more local perspective to your trip planning. 

The Culture Trip app uses the publication’s content as a starting point; say, an article on the Top 9 Dessert Spots in Amsterdam. While reading the article, you can save individual places to lists that you create and view their location on maps. You can also explore their curated “Culture Trips”—pre-made itineraries for small group travel bookable within the app.

5 Smartphone Essentials You Should Never Travel Without

TripScout ( iOS ) combines articles and videos from well-known travel publishers and local experts to form what it calls “a personalized, always up-to-date travel guide” for destinations around the world. Every point of interest mentioned in the content is mapped, so you can build a customized itinerary showing your intended destinations on a map.

TripScout can also personalize recommendations based on your travel dates, budget, interests, and even the number of people in your travel group. And like some of the other apps on this list, TripScout works entirely offline, potentially saving you from paying international data fees. The only downside? Android users are left out; TripScout is iOS only.

The best trip planner apps to make your travels easier

Booking a trip can be an exciting yet daunting task. As if booking airfare, hotel, and transportation weren't enough, you also need to consider food, sights, and attractions. As a travel lover myself, I often dread planning and preparing for a trip. Not only do I never have the time, but I often get oversaturated by the vast amount of information found online and the fear of getting scammed. 

Also:  The best travel credit cards

Over the years, I've found the best websites and apps to help smooth out the planning process. These apps help me keep track of all my reservations, send me booking reminders, and guarantee I always find the best prices -- because there is nothing worse than falling for tourist traps or overpriced offerings. 

Whether you are a spontaneous or a nitty-gritty planner traveler, ZDNET has tested and reviewed the best trip planner apps on the market. Our top pick for the best trip planner site and app is Booking.com due to its easy-to-use user interface, extensive booking capabilities, and pricing. However, since not every trip or traveler is the same, we've included several options to help you plan and stay organized during your travels.

The best trip planner apps of 2023

Booking.com, best overall trip planner.

• Multiple bookings
• Great deals
• Can earn points from bookings and reservations
• Easy to use
• No group planning
• Can't organize bookings per trip

Booking.com features:   Platform: App and website |  Compatibility:  iOS and Android |  Pricing:  Free |  Booking:  Yes |  Group planning:  No

When planning my trips, I always make a stop at the Booking.com app, especially when reserving hotels. I find their user interface visually appealing and easy to use, and that it provides just the right amount of information I need when scrolling through hotel suggestions. Personally, I enjoy that I can add my top picks to my favorites with a quick tap of a heart, glance through reviews, look at cancellation policies, and even find out how far away hotels are from key spots. Through Booking.com, you can also book flights, car rentals, taxis, and city attractions, making it a great all-in-one place to plan and book upcoming weekend getaways or longer vacations. While I have personally never used the car rentals, taxis, or city attractions components of the app, I enjoy knowing that if I ever needed to, I can quickly hop on my phone and glance at the latest offerings. 

My favorite feature when using Booking.com to plan trips is the offers and promotions it displays for users. In the app, when you click your profile, you can see your "Genius" loyalty program status as well as discover the best deals around the world for your specific chosen dates. My only critique of Booking.com is that it does not enable group trip planning or let you organize your bookings per trip. This means if you are planning a trip with a friend, only one person can book and have access to reservations. 

Also: The best luggage

Best trip planner for organization

• Synced with e-mail inbox
• Organizes reservations no matter where you book
• Works offline
• Can't make any bookings
• Need to pay for advanced features
• UI could use an upgrade

TripIt features:   Platform:  App and website |  Compatibility: iOS and Android | Pricing: Free or $49 per year | Booking: No | Group planning: Yes

In terms of planning a trip, creating an itinerary, and keeping all your information in one place, TripIt is one of the best travel apps to keep yourself organized. When you first create an account, TripIt will sync with your inbox and automatically add all of your upcoming flights and reservations to your account. You can then modify each trip to include as little or as much information as you'd like. As someone who likes to be spontaneous when traveling, I usually only add the essentials: flight information, hotel reservations, and important documents. However, if you like to plan your trips down by the hour, you can also include activities, restaurant reservations, transportation, and more in your trip plan to share with fellow travelers.

As your trip approaches, TripIt will also send you packing reminders, give you COVID-19 travel guidance, and show transportation options. While you can get most of the essential features within the free version of the app (this is the one I use), you can also pay $49 a year to get advanced features such as check-in reminders, real-time flight alerts, point tracking, and even notifications for drops in airfare prices. 

Keep in mind that while TripIt gives you transportation options and finds places near your hotel, you cannot book or make any reservations directly from the app. The app is solely used to organize and keep track of all of your travel plans in one place, no matter where you book them. 

Best AI trip planner

• Personalized travel itinerary
• Hotel booking
• Can modify recommendations
• Group planning enabled
• Only available as a website
• No flight or restaurant booking

Guide features:   Platform: Website  Compatibility: all major browsers |  Pricing:  Free | Booking: Yes, but hotels only | Group Planning: Yes  Generative AI is everyone's favorite buzzword this year, and slowly but surely, it has been making its way across all industries -- including the travel industry. Guide is an innovative AI travel planning tool that creates personalized travel itineraries based on your preferences. (Full disclosure, it's also owned by ZDNET's sister company. It's currently in private beta, but you can join a wait list.) All you need to do is select your destination, the dates, whether you are traveling alone or in a group, your budget, and the types of activities you are looking for, and Guide will do the planning. 

After generating a trip itinerary for you based on your prompt, Guide then lets you modify and customize the itinerary to your liking. I recently used Guide to plan a six-day trip to Austin, Texas, and this was the feature I enjoyed the most, since I had specific restaurants and activities I wanted to incorporate into my trip, but I also needed some additional recommendations. While you can't book flights or restaurant reservations through Guide, you can book and find great hotel deals powered by Expedia on the platform. 

Guide will also give you an overall budget for your trip, a packing list, and a comprehensive list of things to know about your destination -- which may be helpful for some more than others. While my trip to Austin was a solo trip, Guide has a feature where you can invite other fellow travelers to collaborate in planning your trip through Guide's chatbot, GuideBot. This chatbot also works sort of like ChatGPT, where you can ask GuideBot questions about your trip, your destination, or recommendations. Keep in mind you can not ask GuideBot to directly modify your trip for you, and instead need to manually do it yourself -- believe me, I tried. 

Tripadvisor

Best trip planner app for reviews.

• Countless reviews
• Used by travelers worldwide
• Variety of information
• Booking capabilities
• Great for local spots
• Booking is not its strongest feature and you may not always find the best deals
• Doesn't vet reviews

Tripadvisor  features: Platform:  App and website |  Compatibility:  iOS and Android |  Pricing:  Free |  Booking:  Yes |  Group planning:  No

Reading customer reviews is one of the most important steps when planning a trip. While you shouldn't base all of your decisions on reviews, you should consider past customer experiences to get a feel for the brand and company you are about to trust, or the experience you are going to pay for.  When it comes to travel reviews, Tripadvisor is the best trip planner app to rely on. Since the platform has so many reviews for restaurants, activities, accommodations, and locations all over the world, it is always easy and convenient to log onto the app or website to help you make an educated decision. (However, remember that not all Tripadvisor reviews are legit, since the platform does not independently verify customer postings.) Beyond reviews, TripAdvisor also lets you book hotels, restaurants, things to do, and more while also providing detailed insights into their offerings -- including cancellation policies, ratings, and features. 

Tripadvisor's "Travelers' Choice" best-of list is also a popular part of its platform, allowing visitors to see top-rated destinations, hotels, restaurants, and things to do around the world. With Tripadvisor, you can plan a trip yourself from scratch, hire a trip designer, or get a custom itinerary built by AI. 

Best trip planner app for transportation

• Great multi-mode travel comparison
• convenient and seamless transportation booking
• Multiple currency and language availability
• Flight deals and suggestions are not the strongest
• Limited offers depending on the country or city of travel
• Not the most reliable customer service

Omio features:  Platform:  App and website |  Compatibility:  iOS and Android |  Pricing:  Free |  Booking:  Yes, transportation only |  Group planning:  No

I first discovered Omio when a friend recommended it to me while I was studying abroad in Spain, and ever since I downloaded it, it has become my go-to app for booking the best deals and fares on transportation within Europe. The concept behind Omio is simple: You plug in your departure and arrival location, including the number of people you are traveling with, and add whether you are looking for a one-way or round-trip journey. Omio will then show you the best deals by train, bus, or plane to and from your desired destination, including how much time each option will take you and the number of stops. 

The German-based travel booking site is great at aggregating travel information from multiple sites, allowing you to view all of your transportation options in one place. This is incredibly beneficial when planning trips within Europe since there are several ways you can cross each border and often various languages and regulations to keep in mind. Omio is set in English but has multiple additional languages available, as well as currency options. During my time abroad, I solely used Omio to book all of my transportation, including planning a 17-day trip across seven different European countries. Overall, using Omio was not only convenient and seamless but also helped me save hundreds of dollars by helping me maximize my travel time by switching between flights, trains, and buses. 

However, since returning from Europe, I have not used Omio as much as I thought I would -- maybe because I have a car and take most of my trips by plane. And Omio's flight deals and suggestions are not the strongest compared to Booking.com or Skyscanner's, which heavily focus on flight deals. I have also found they have some limitations depending on the country or city you are traveling in. Be mindful of the deals and tickets you buy through Omio since some tickets are non-refundable, and some customers complain their customer service is not the best -- although I have yet to have any issues with them. 

What is the best trip planner app?

Booking.com gets our vote for the best trip planner app due to its wide selection of accommodations, its points and promotions offerings, and its easy-to-use user interface. Not only does Booking.com help you find the best deals throughout your trip, but it will also help you stay organized throughout your trip by keeping all of your reservations in one place. To determine which trip planner app or combination of trip planners is best for you, check out this comparison chart below. 

Which is the right trip planner app for you?

The best trip planner app ultimately depends on your travel and planning style. If you like booking and planning everything in one place while also earning points and getting great deals, then Booking.com is your top app. However, if you are looking for a place to keep all of your accommodations, reservations, and activity details organized, then TripIt is a better app for you. Check out the following chart to help you find the best trip planner app or a combination of apps for you to plan your next adventure. 

How did we choose these trip planner apps?

To find the best trip planner apps, we drew upon real-life experiences and tested their performance and capabilities during our latest trips. Ultimately, we weighted the following factors when choosing which trip planners to include on our list: 

• Features: Each app can vary significantly with the features it offers, whether it is solely to book flights and hotels, help you plan your next trip using AI, or help you find the best deals and booking information, each app on this list can help you address several common inconveniences that present themselves while planning that next adventure.  
• Compatibility: An app is of little use if it does not work with your devices, so we look to see what compatibility each trip-planning app offers and which platforms you can access it from. Personally, I enjoy apps that combine an app and website component since this quickly helps me switch between my wide computer screen and my tiny yet portable iPhone screen. 
• Customer reviews: We study real customer reviews and ratings to evaluate customer satisfaction and service. This is incredibly important since most times when you travel, you visit an unknown city or country, and you should be mindful of past experiences others have had. 
• Cost : Most trip planner apps are free, but you may have to upgrade to receive special access to exclusive features or deals. If your app is already free, it means you only have to pay a small amount (often unnoticeable) when you book your accommodations. 

What is a trip planner app?

A trip planner app is an app that provides organizational features for your upcoming trip. It is often free and incorporates trip planning tools, whether you are traveling by ground, water or air.   

How does a trip planner app work?

A trip planner app can incorporate special features, like an itinerary, calendar, reservation and booking hub, and map assistance. Depending on the app you choose, there is even trip-sharing with friends and family to simplify the entire trip planning process.  

How much does a trip planner app cost?

Most trip planner apps are free, but some may offer in-app purchases to upgrade or enhance your experience. Within this list, only Tripit costs money, but only for their advanced features version, which costs $49 a year. However, you can get access to most if not all, trip-planning features, through their free version. 

Are there alternative trip planner apps worth considering?

As I mentioned earlier, trip planning heavily depends on your personal style of travel and preferences. However, whether you like to plan your trips down by the minute or prefer to just have the basics, there are several apps that can optimize your planning. Here are a few apps worth considering that almost made it onto our list:

Master Tour is an integral part of my touring. I cannot recommend this highly enough to all tour managers.
