DreamTrips turns planning a trip into a conversation. Tell Alfred, your travel concierge, where you're going and how you like to travel — slow mornings or first in the queue — and he writes the days out for you. Not a search box. Something closer to a friend who has already been. TELL HIM THE TRIP Describe it the way you'd say it out loud: "Four days in Lisbon, nothing before ten, we love seafood." Alfred builds the full day-by-day itinerary — breakfast, the landmark, the walk between them, lunch, what to do before dinner. Choose a persona, set the pace, tell him what you're into, and he reshapes the plan whenever you change your mind. SEE THE TRIP BEFORE YOU TAKE IT Your itinerary lands on a 3D globe, each day in its own colour. Tap a day and the camera flies to that day's stops. It answers "is this too much walking?" faster than any list can, and tells you at a glance whether Tuesday is a gentle wander or a city-wide sprint. BOOK SOME OF IT, COMPARE THE REST - Hotels: live availability and member pricing, booked inside the app, cancellation supported. Payment is completed on a secure hosted checkout page. - Attractions and tickets, reserved ahead so the queue is someone else's morning. - Restaurants with photos, ratings, price level and the tips that actually matter. - Concerts, matches and shows worth building an evening around. - Flights: real routes, times and fares to compare. Flight booking is not available in this release. THE TRAVEL WALLET A gate change at 6:40 a.m. A boarding pass you need in a terminal with no signal. Boarding passes, insurance and visas live in one place, with QR codes that scan offline — because airport Wi-Fi is not a plan. Your passport expiry gets a reminder before it becomes someone else's problem at a border. Live flight status shows terminal, gate and delay. Visa requirements for where you're headed. A shortcut to Find My for the bag you're not sure made the connection. ASK OUT LOUD, OR JUST POINT Speak to Alfred and he answers aloud. A landmark you can't name. A dish you can't pronounce. Take the photo and ask him what it is. EIGHT LANGUAGES Each one written and spoken in a voice that sounds native rather than translated. WHAT STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Home address, date of birth and passport number are stored only on your device and never reach our servers. Card details never pass through our systems. No ads and no in-app purchases. MEMBERSHIP DreamTrips AI is built for members of the DreamTrips travel club. Sign-in is required and accounts come through the club, so the app is not open to general signup. Location-based suggestions are optional and stay off until you turn them on. Push notifications keep trip reminders on time. Rated 18+ because conversations with Alfred are open-ended, and because he is an AI: double-check anything time-critical, since opening hours, visa rules and schedules change.
