The TEXT is written by professional travel writers to be informative, engaging and to-the-point while the interface is IMAGE-LED, so the apps are beautifully organised and illustrated. We also use tech to allow you to tag favourites, easily find locations, click on websites, search text and much more – but try never to lose simple user-friendliness.
Our content comes at travel planning from every direction: they discuss trip ESSENTIALS; introduce key PLACES in a destination; suggest ITINERARIES; and sort sights and activities by key INTERESTS. We're also determined you won't go hungry, so always suggest great and convenient places to EAT & DRINK too.
Your app was invaluable in allowing me to make the maximum use of my time and see a wide variety of fantastic sites. I never once had to open the guide book that I also took along. I highly recommend your app to everyone… Thank you!
