How it works
|
We believe that the only way to experience a new place is to walk a few steps in the shoes of someone who lives there. And who better than a like-minded local person who is passionate about you leaving with the best possible memories? Hello, we are Tripbod.
|
Connect directly with the local Tripbod of your choice through a private trip planning page before you go. This features a personal trip calendar, with maps, to create your unique itinerary, print at home and take-away with you.
The price of Tripbod's trip planning service is based on the length of your trip and you can sign-up as far in advance as you like.
Plus instant access to your Tripbod from the date your sign-up means the earlier you book, the more pre-trip advice you get!
