4. Users, at their option, can select their preferences for the trip: Public/private transport Attractions ordered by locations close to your starting point (time saver), or by cost (budget friendly) or other criteria Preferred currency

5. We don’t require you to register unless you want to save an itinerary, at which time we ask you for basic login information and preferences

6. Once you have saved a trip, you can edit it by going to “My Trips” clicking on “View details” and modifying your itinerary as required. Your trip details include a description and picture of the chosen attractions, local costs, chosen transport options, your lodging details (if provided) and a daily map. You can print these for ready reference.

7. Ever wondered what a city trip might cost without wanting to do extensive research? Use the TripSketch budget planner to compare costs between cities. Let’s compare London to Paris.

8. Any of the budget fields can be modified. Keep in mind: Hotel estimates are based on budget preferences and the number of rooms you need Dining estimates are based on budget preferences Private transport assumes a rental car where feasible, or a car and driver where this makes more sense Getting there requires your input for airfares or other forms of transport If you click on “Plan Now” from the budget, your city budget will migrate with you to the daily planner and get modified as you add attractions

9. All of us can relate to being stranded at an airport for hours due to flight delays, cancellations or extended transit times between flights. Let TripSketch help you plan a fun activity en-route to your final destination, and you may even choose to extend your layover!
