What you get
A plan you can actually travel
The ideas come from AI. The distances, travel times and costs are worked out by planning engines, so the days you are shown are days that fit.
- Nights where they matterEach stop gets the nights its sights need, and the total fits the days you have.
- Every leg, comparedTrain or bus, driving and — for long hops — flying, each with a time, an estimated cost and a recommendation you can overrule.
- Every day, laid outA schedule for each day at each stop, with nearby sights grouped together so you are not crossing town twice.
- Make it yoursSwap a city, move a night or add a day trip — ask in the chat or change it right on the itinerary, and the map and budget follow, as often as you like.
- Easy to shareSend the plan to the people you are travelling with. It is a read-only link, and they do not need an account to open it.

Questions
Planning a trip with AI
What RTour does, how it checks a plan, and where its facts come from.
What is RTour?
RTour is an AI travel planner. Describe a trip in a sentence — where you want to go, for how long and what you enjoy — and it builds the itinerary: the route, how many nights to spend in each place, a day-by-day schedule for every stop, the travel between stops and an estimate of what the trip will cost.
Can I just use ChatGPT to plan a trip?
For ideas, yes. What a chatbot guesses is the arithmetic: it can put a train where no line runs, or time a drive as the crow flies. In RTour a language model chooses the cities, the order and the words, and everything measurable — distances, drive and rail times, what each leg costs, whether the nights add up — is calculated by planning engines instead. If a stop does not fit, you are told what it would cost the rest of the trip rather than handed a plan that cannot be travelled.
How RTour works →Are AI travel planners accurate?
Only as accurate as whatever checks them. RTour checks what can be measured: drives are timed along the road, trains along the railway, and flights are planned between real airports, through the hubs that connect them. A place no road or railway reaches is offered no drive or train. Opening hours, fares and entry rules still change, so confirm them with the provider before you book.
Does RTour book flights or hotels?
No. RTour plans trips; it does not book them or take payment for travel. Fares, travel times and costs are estimates to plan with — confirm prices, opening times and entry requirements with the provider before you book anything.
How does it choose between train, car and plane?
Every leg between two stops is compared as a train or bus, as a drive and — once it is long enough to be worth it, around 400 km — as a flight, with the journey time, an estimated cost and a note on why one is recommended. You can pick a different one: the planner explains the trade-offs and warns about problems, but it does not overrule you.
Can it plan a multi-city trip?
Yes. Name the cities — or just a country or a region — and RTour orders the stops to save travelling, or keeps your order if you give one. It decides the nights in each place and compares every leg between them by train or bus, car and plane. It can fly you into one city and home from another, and asks which you want before it decides.
Can it plan a trip by train?
Yes. Say you want to go by train and every leg a train serves goes by train, timed along the railway. Where the train would take much longer than another way, the leg says so, and where no train runs, it shows what does.
Where does the information about places come from?
Mostly from free and open sources: OpenStreetMap for locations and driving routes, Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons for descriptions and photographs, and Wikidata for telling a real landmark from a building that happens to be near one. Commercial map data is used where it is genuinely better, such as public transport. A rating is only shown when it was measured — RTour never invents one.
Can I change a trip after it is planned?
Yes — a plan is a conversation. Ask for two nights in Florence, drop a stop or fly home instead of driving, and the itinerary, the map and the budget change together.
Can I share a trip with the people I am travelling with?
Yes. A trip stays private until you create a share link. Anyone with the link can read the itinerary, the route and the estimates without an account, but not your conversation with the planner or anything about your account, and revoking the link stops it working immediately.
Can it plan road trips and camping trips?
Yes. Road trips are planned stop by stop with real driving times between them. A camping trip plans parks and outdoor areas instead of cities, prices campsites instead of hotel rooms, and paces each day for walking rather than for the metro.
