Plan every day of a trip in seconds: real places, in an order you can actually walk, with room for a long lunch. Once you land, it becomes a guide. Every stop comes alive as you reach it. A planner before you go. A guide while you're there. PLAN EACH DAY Name where you're going and a whole day drafts itself in seconds: real places, in a sensible order, with meals where they belong. Then make it yours. Search any place, describe what you're in the mood for and let AI suggest something, or add a stop by name. One tap reorders a day into a smoother route, and you see the new order before anything moves. Walking, driving, and biking times run between every stop, with the forecast for when you'll arrive, so you know a day fits before you're standing in it. A LIVE WALKING GUIDE On the ground, the Guide leads the day stop by stop. Switch to the Live tour and the landmarks around you surface as you walk, each with its story. No digging through a map, no wondering what that building was. AI storytelling on the Live tour comes with a daily free allowance and runs uncapped on a Trip Pass or Annual Pro. EVERY PLACE, IN DEPTH Each stop carries a short story, the practical facts (hours, price range, what it's good for), and a photo. Rather listen than read? Have the story read aloud in the Guide, in a voice and at a speed you choose. KEEP IT ALL TOGETHER Attach reservations and confirmation numbers so nothing gets lost in your inbox. See what's still to arrange at a glance, and scan the whole trip for places worth getting tickets for in advance. Share the trip with the people going with you, full editing or view-only. WHAT'S FREE, WHAT'S PAID Real planning is free with no caps: maps, travel times, weather, reservations, the day optimizer, and sharing. AI features carry a monthly free allowance, the Live tour a daily one. A Trip Pass makes one trip unlimited, up to 14 planned days, Live tour included. Annual Pro makes every trip that way. Passage AI needs a free account (Apple, Google, or email) and your trips sync across your devices. Passage AI is a planning aid — always verify important details (reservations, prices, hours, safety, and travel requirements) with official sources. The Live tour is for information and entertainment, not navigation or safety.
