Features
Every piece of the whole trip.
Everything ezTrips does across the whole trip — planning, bookings and spend, live guidance while you travel, and the group doing it together. One Kyoto trip shows each part.
Plan
A plan that holds together.
From a sentence to a day-by-day plan you can reshape in a sentence.
- ezPlan — From a Sentence to a PlanDescribe the trip in plain English — where, when, who. You get a full day-by-day plan shaped by pace, budget and taste.
- Sequenced Days and Travel ConnectorsDays clustered by neighborhood, with the way between stops built in — mode, minutes and fare, not guesses.
- ezEdit — Chat and Voice“Move dinner to 8.” “Day three, quieter.” Spoken or typed, ezEdit rewrites only what you asked about.
- The Edit ToolboxAdd your own activities, lock what’s fixed, move or delete anything — the rest of the day re-settles around it.
- Trip InsightsFlags problems — a tight connection, an overlap, a stop that may be closed — each with a suggested fix you can send to ezEdit.

- Browse and clone a proven itinerary.
Book
Your bookings, in one place.
Everything to book, in one place — and every booking and cost stays with the trip.
- Booking Links, at the Right TimeEvery stop that needs booking carries its link — tours and events open their own booking page, stays open “Check Rates”, flights open a search for your route and date. You check out with the provider.
- Book AheadMuseums, galleries and timed-entry landmarks that usually need a ticket in advance are marked “Reserve ahead” in the plan — so you book before you go.
- Bookings HubConfirmations live with the trip — flights, stays, tables, tickets — each marked To Book, Reserved or Booked.
- Spend Tracker and Group SplitsRunning spend against the estimate, split per person as you go — who paid, who owes.
- Trip ReadinessEvery trip shows where it stands — Drafted, Planned, Booked, Ready — and what’s next.
Kyoto
SampleAlso in Book
- Flight Prices, Where Available
- Set your home airport and, where a fare is found, the plan shows real flight options priced when it was built. Every flight leg links to a search for that route and date — fares and seats can change before you book.
- Tour Prices and Price Levels
- Where a tour lists one, it shows a “from” price, and you confirm the current price on the tour’s own booking page before you book. Restaurants and sights show their price level, from $ to $$$$, where it’s known. For a stay, “Check Rates” opens the hotel’s own site (or a search for it) — ezTrips doesn’t show nightly rates.
- Calendar Export (.ics)
- Download the itinerary as an .ics file for Apple, Google or Outlook — every stop and transit leg as its own event, not one all-day block.
- PDF and Share Exports
- A clean PDF or a read-only share link on every plan. Send it to companions or print it for the flight.
- Forward-an-Email Import
- Forward a confirmation to your ezTrips address. ezTrips reads it and matches it to the right trip and day — and if it can’t tell which trip, it asks you to pick. Included on every paid plan; forwarded and pasted confirmations share a monthly allowance.
On the RoadmapOne checkout for the whole trip.Today you check out on the provider’s site — forward the confirmation and ezTrips matches it to your trip, next to the spend and splits you log.
Go · ezGo
ezGo runs the day, live.
Live guidance on the plan you built — and a new plan when the day has other ideas.
- Now, Next, LaterThe day as a living card stack — what you’re doing, what’s next and what can wait.
- Departure Alerts and Live ETAs“Leave by 09:06 — 12 min by JR.” Timed to your location and live traffic.
- Weather and Indoor SwapsThe day’s forecast, watched — when rain is likely, an indoor alternative for your next outdoor stop is one tap away.
- Disruptions and Running LateWhen now slips, the rest of the day moves with it — booked and fixed times stay put.
- Ask About TodayA day-of guide that answers from your live spot — what’s next, what’s near, how to get there — with one-tap shortcuts into directions, a nearby search or a re-plan.
Also in Go
- Nearby Search
- “Where should we eat?” answered from where you’re standing.
- Safety on Call
- Local emergency numbers, the nearest hospital, pharmacy, police or embassy from where you stand, and an “I’m safe” note home.
- Offline, Companions and Hand-Off
- Your plan stays readable offline. Companions follow the day read-only — your live location stays on your device — and one tap hands directions to Google Maps.
- Briefings and Reminders
- On every trip, ezGo or not: a weather heads-up a week out if rain is forecast on your outdoor days, a visa reminder in the month before a trip that may need one, a reminder the day before a booked activity, and a daily briefing on each trip day.
- Destination Essentials and Safety Check-In
- Visa, currency, plugs, water and emergency numbers for where you’re going. Turn on safety check-in and, on the trips you own, ezTrips asks you to check in each day — miss one, and it emails your emergency contact.
Together · across all three
Plan it, book it and live it — together.
Collaboration isn’t a fourth stage; it runs through all three. One shared plan, and everyone sees where the group stands.
- Invite Your GroupPlanInvite people to view, comment or edit the same trip — one plan, not five forwarded copies. Invite your group on any paid plan — they join with a free ezTrips account.
- Live Edits, With a Heads-UpPlanWhen an editor changes the plan, everyone sees it live — and the group gets a heads-up, batched so a run of quick edits arrives as one notification.
- Comments and Votes on Any StopPlanCompanions comment on any stop and vote “I’m in” — so where the group stands is on the plan, not lost in the chat.
- Polls That Settle ItPlanPut a question to the group — which restaurant, which day trip. When it closes, the owner or an editor adds the winner to the plan.
- Who’s Booking WhatBookAssign a booking to someone and they’re notified — and “Mine to book” shows each person their own list.
- Splits and Settle UpBookSpend is split per person as it’s logged. Settle Up shows who owes whom, per currency — then mark it settled.
- Companions Follow the DayGoCompanions follow the day in ezGo, read-only — “Following the trip owner’s day” — while the owner’s live location stays on their device.

Common Questions
How is this different from searching Google?
Search gives you options. ezTrips gives you a plan — activities sequenced by neighborhood, with realistic timing, pace and budget already factored in. No tabs, no assembly required.
Which plan includes chat editing?
Both paid plans, up to 50 chat edits a day, and editing never uses itinerary days. Signed-out visitors can inspect a finished public itinerary before choosing a plan.
Can I export or print my itinerary?
PDF export and read-only public share links are included on ezPass and ezPro alike.
Does ezTrips earn a commission on bookings?
Booking links go directly to the venue, hotel or booking platform. We earn affiliate commissions on some links — this never influences which options we recommend.
Can I book my whole trip inside ezTrips?
Not yet. Today ezTrips finds the options. Real tours and events on your dates link to their own booking pages, and tours show a “from” price where one is listed, which you confirm there. Where a fare is found, flight prices are shown as of when your plan was built, and every flight link opens a search for that route and date, where fares and seats can change. You check out on the provider’s site, and the confirmation comes back into your trip when you forward it. One checkout for the whole trip is on our roadmap; this page will say so when it ships, not before.
Do my travel companions need to pay?
Not to join your trip. Invite your group on any paid plan — they join with a free ezTrips account. They can view, comment or edit, depending on the role you give them. ezGo is bought by the trip owner, and companions follow the day in ezGo, read-only. Planning their own trips is on ezPass or ezPro.
How often do new features ship?
Roughly every two to three weeks. Follow us on social for release notes.
Can I try ezTrips before paying?
You can inspect a finished public itinerary end to end before you pay anything. Planning your own trips is on ezPass or ezPro. Companions you invite join with a free account. There is no trial today. ezPass covers a single trip at $5 per itinerary day, capped at $50. Prices exclude tax. Any applicable tax is calculated and added at checkout.
