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.

Ever wondered what a city trip might costwithout wanting to do extensive research? Usethe TripSketch budget planner to compare costsbetween cities. Let’s compare London to Paris.

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
