How Clustrip works, what it really does and what it doesn't. No spin.

Why Clustrip

Real coordinates

Every stop is an existing place, mapped with precise latitude and longitude.

Calculated times

Transfers estimated on the real distance between stops, on foot, by car or by transit.

Multi-city

Multi-city routes, with transfers — train, car or plane — already built into the plan, day by day.

Tailor-made editing

Not sold on a stop? Rewrite it with one request, leaving the rest untouched — included with your free account.

Frequently asked questions

Clustrip is free, on two levels. Without an account — 3 trial itineraries, right away, leaving no data behind: · trips up to 3 days · one style at a time and the three budget tiers Enough to see whether Clustrip is right for you. With Google sign-in (free, no card) you unlock everything: · 10 itineraries a month, always complete · up to 15 days and 5 cities per trip · every style combined and the Smart Budget · 10 must-see places to pin and 5 saved trips No trial that expires, no automatic switch to paid: free stays free. If one day you want longer trips or more cities, the Premium plan is on its way.

No. Today Clustrip asks for nothing: no payment, no credit card, no timed trial that quietly turns into a subscription. The 3 trial itineraries don't even need an account. For everything else, a free Google sign-in is enough. One day there will be a Premium plan for longer trips and more cities: we'll say so plainly, and the free tier stays free.

Yes, on two levels. Right from creation, you decide: · destination, days, budget and pace · the travel style — culture, nature, food, relaxed and more (one without an account, combined with free sign-in) · the means of transport and the must-see places the itinerary has to include The itinerary is born from your preferences, not a list that's the same for everyone. If you've already booked your accommodation, set it as your base: each day starts and returns there. Then there's made-to-measure editing of individual stops: describe what to change in your own words — "I'd prefer a seafood restaurant here" — and the engine rewrites just that activity, recalculating times without touching the rest of the day. With free sign-in you get 5 tailored edits per itinerary; with the Premium plan (coming soon) they become unlimited.

Pick a ready-made tier — budget, comfort or luxury — or, with free Google sign-in, set the Smart Budget with your exact amount per person per day. · you decide what it covers: accommodation, meals, activities or a mix · the estimated total updates in real time across travelers and days, in the currency you prefer (EUR, USD, GBP, CHF or JPY) · the suggestions respect the tier: the restaurants and activities change, not just the total · if the budget includes accommodation, you get 2-3 places in line with what you can spend If the destination is notoriously expensive for the budget you set, Clustrip warns you before generating. And if you change your mind, just regenerate: the budget is a compass for the engine, not a contract.

Yes — and it's the main difference from asking a generic chatbot. · every stop is a real place, with a precise name and coordinates on an interactive map · travel times are estimated on actual distances, on foot, by car or by public transport · the map doesn't draw straight lines: real streets on foot and by car, real tracks for tram, metro and train · the suggested times take into account typical opening hours and the pace you chose The real world does change, though: hours, prices and availability can vary, so always check before booking or leaving. The final decision on every stop is yours, as we also state in the Terms of Service.

No, and we'd rather say it upfront: they are indications, not bookings. The costs you read give you the order of magnitude of a day and keep the plan inside the budget you chose. The times follow a place's typical opening hours, not this year's official calendar. Museums change their shifts, tickets go up, sites close for restoration, local holidays land where you didn't expect: the real world moves faster than any planner. Before you leave, and above all before booking or travelling any distance for a stop, always check times, prices and availability on the venue's official site.

Yes. With free access, an itinerary covers up to 5 cities in the same trip. · transfers between cities (train, car, plane) are part of the plan with their own times, so even travel days stay realistic · with free access you can start from the whole country — "Italy in two weeks" — and Clustrip designs the route city by city, transfers included · you pin only the cities you care about with their days; the engine picks a sensible geographic order so you never backtrack The Premium plan (coming soon) will extend the limits to 30 cities and 30 days per trip: made for the big one — an Interrail, Japan north to south, a sabbatical month.

Yes, in three ways, all from the same trip page. · PDF: download the full itinerary, print it or keep it on your phone · Calendar: export the days as an .ics file and the stops land in the calendar you already use · Link: share the trip with whoever is travelling with you, and revoke the link whenever you like (from then on it opens nothing) One thing we do NOT do, so we don't promise it emptily: Clustrip is not yet an app that works without a connection. If you want everything at hand even with no signal, download the PDF before you leave.

No, and the difference matters. What you see is the historical average for that month in that destination: how warm it usually is, how much it usually rains. It helps you pack and tells you whether August in Seville or January in Oslo is really the idea you had in mind: for that, the historical average is reliable. What it cannot tell you is whether it will rain on your Tuesday: nobody knows that weeks ahead. For that, check a real weather service in the days before you leave.

No, and we say it plainly: Clustrip designs the itinerary, you book wherever you prefer. It's a deliberate choice: comparing prices and choosing where to book is a freedom we don't want to take away from you, and it spares us the conflict of interest of designing a trip to sell you something. Under the stops and in the packing list you'll find links to selected partners: · Klook and Tiqets for tours and tickets · Yesim and Saily for eSIMs · Welcome Pickups for airport transfers · Amazon for gear They are openly declared affiliate links: if you use them, the partner pays Clustrip a small commission that sustains the project, at no extra cost to you. No obligation, and no stop is chosen to make you click — the itinerary comes first, on your preferences, and the links come after.

Six: Italian, English, Spanish, German, French and Portuguese. It isn't only the interface that changes: the itinerary is written directly in the language you are using, from the names of the stops to the descriptions, the tips and the packing list. You pick the language from the top menu and it stays in the page address (/it, /en, /es, /de, /fr, /pt). An itinerary that already exists keeps the language it was born in: if you need it in another one, switch language and generate it again.

Yes, we're genuinely interested. We're building a network of local guides and travel professionals to recommend to travelers in their area: someone who lives in a place gives an itinerary a level of detail no algorithm reaches on its own. No exclusivity, no paid sign-up: the idea is that, when someone plans a trip in your area, there's a real person we can point them to. Are you a licensed guide, a tour leader or a professional rooted in a place? Write to us from the Contact page choosing "Collaborations": · who you are and where you work · the languages you speak · your specialties (food, art, nature, lesser-known neighborhoods) We read every application one by one and reply from the dedicated inbox, usually within a few days.
