Loro planner is a comprehensive trip planning platform that helps you discover and plan trips with pre-calculated itineraries and realistic cost estimates.

Question 3

Do I need to create an account to use the platform?

Accepted Answer

No, you don't need an account. This is a read-only MVP focused on validating the concept. Your preferences (like language settings) are stored locally in your browser. User accounts will be added in future versions based on user feedback.

Question 4

What countries/destinations are currently available?

Accepted Answer

We currently focus on France with detailed coverage of major cities and attractions. We're continuously expanding our database and plan to add more European countries, then global destinations based on user demand and feedback.

You can browse itineraries by country, city, or attraction. Use our filter options to narrow down results by duration, budget, travel style, or specific interests. The search functionality helps you find exactly what you're looking for.

Question 8

How are the itineraries created?

Our itineraries are crafted using a combination of expert travel knowledge, real visitor data (opening hours, ticket prices, typical visit durations), and AI-assisted optimization. Each route is designed to be realistic and efficient, considering transport times and attraction schedules.

Question 9

Can I customize the suggested itineraries?

Accepted Answer

Currently, this MVP provides pre-planned itineraries that you can view and use as inspiration. Customization features (adding/removing stops, adjusting timings, creating your own routes) are planned for future versions based on user feedback.

Question 10

What's the difference between City Day Plans, Day Excursions, and Multi-Day Tours?

Accepted Answer

City Day Plans explore a single city in one day. Day Excursions are one-day trips visiting multiple nearby cities or attractions. Multi-Day Tours are complete journeys spanning several days with accommodation and inter-city travel included.

Question 11

How do I save or bookmark my favorite trips?

Accepted Answer

Bookmarking features are not yet implemented in this MVP. For now, you can bookmark pages in your browser or take screenshots. Proper save/favorite functionality will be added in future versions.

Question 12

Can I share itineraries with friends or family?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can share itineraries by simply copying the page URL and sending it to others. Each itinerary has a unique link that you can share via email, messaging apps, or social media.

Question 13

How accurate are the cost estimates?

Accepted Answer

Our cost estimates are based on real data from official sources, recent visitor reports, and public pricing information. However, prices can vary by season, booking method, and current promotions. We recommend using our estimates as a baseline and verifying actual prices when booking. Expect variance of ±10-15%.

Question 14

What currency are prices shown in?

Accepted Answer

Prices are shown in both the local currency of each destination (e.g., EUR for France) and in your selected currency. All prices are automatically converted to your preferred currency.

Question 15

What's included in the cost breakdown?

Accepted Answer

Cost breakdowns include: accommodation (per night), meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), attraction tickets, local transport (metro, bus, taxi), and inter-city transport for multi-day tours. Flights to/from your home city are not included.

Question 16

Do prices include taxes and fees?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our estimates include typical taxes and fees where applicable. However, some accommodations or activities may have additional resort fees, tourist taxes, or booking fees that vary by provider.

Question 17

Are flight costs included in the estimates?

Accepted Answer

No, flights from your home city to the destination are not included. Our itineraries start from the destination city. We plan to add flight cost estimation in future versions when you specify your origin city.

Question 18

How often are prices updated?

Accepted Answer

We aim to update prices quarterly or when significant changes occur (e.g., major tourist attractions updating ticket prices). However, real-time pricing varies, so always check official sources before booking.

Question 19

Can I see costs in my local currency?

Accepted Answer

Yes! This feature is already implemented. All prices are automatically converted and displayed in your selected currency alongside the destination's local currency.

Question 20

How long should I spend at each attraction?

Accepted Answer

Each attraction in our itineraries includes a suggested visit duration based on typical visitor experiences. These are estimates - you can spend more or less time depending on your interests. Detailed itineraries show timing for each stop.

Question 21

Are opening hours and seasonal closures included?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We include typical opening hours and note seasonal variations where applicable. However, hours can change for holidays, special events, or maintenance. Always check the official website before visiting.

Question 22

How do I know if an attraction requires advance booking?

Accepted Answer

We indicate when attractions typically require or recommend advance booking. Look for booking notes in the attraction details. For popular sites, we always recommend booking ahead to avoid disappointment.

Question 23

What if I have mobility concerns or accessibility needs?

Accepted Answer

Accessibility information is being added to our database. For now, we recommend checking each attraction's official website for detailed accessibility information. Future versions will include comprehensive accessibility filters.

Question 24

Can I see itineraries for specific seasons (summer/winter)?

Accepted Answer

Most itineraries work year-round, but we note seasonal considerations (e.g., outdoor activities best in summer). Season-specific itineraries and filters are planned for future updates.

Question 25

Are meal recommendations included in day plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our itineraries suggest meal times and include cost estimates for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Specific restaurant recommendations may be added in future versions.

Question 26

How do I get from one attraction to another?

Accepted Answer

We display Google Maps with the actual route between attractions, showing you exactly how to navigate from one location to another. Our itineraries also include transport options and estimated travel times.

Question 27

Can I book hotels/tickets directly through Loro planner?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. This MVP focuses on planning information only. Integrated booking functionality is a top priority for future development if the platform proves successful.

Question 28

Do you provide booking services or partnerships?

Accepted Answer

Currently, we don't have booking partnerships. You'll need to book accommodations, tickets, and transport independently using the information we provide. This may change as the platform evolves.

Question 29

How do I actually book the trips I find?

Accepted Answer

Use our itineraries as a planning guide, then book directly with hotels, attraction websites, or booking platforms like Booking.com, Airbnb, and official attraction ticketing sites. We provide all the information you need to make those bookings.

Question 30

Can you help with visa requirements?

Accepted Answer

Visa information is not currently included. We recommend checking your government's travel advisory website or the destination country's embassy for visa requirements. This feature may be added in the future.

Question 31

Do you offer travel insurance?

Accepted Answer

No, we don't provide travel insurance. We recommend purchasing travel insurance separately from specialized insurance providers. This is an important part of trip planning that we encourage all travelers to consider.

Question 32

What happens if my plans change after I've booked?

Accepted Answer

Since bookings are made directly with hotels, attractions, and transport providers, you'll need to handle changes according to their cancellation policies. We have no involvement in your actual bookings.

Question 33

How is my data stored?

Accepted Answer

This MVP doesn't collect or store personal data on servers. Your preferences (language, etc.) are stored locally in your browser using cookies and local storage. No account system means no personal data collection.

Question 34

Do you track my browsing behavior?

Accepted Answer

We use basic analytics to understand which pages are popular and how users navigate the site. This helps improve the platform. No personal identifying information is collected. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Question 35

Can I export my saved itineraries?

Accepted Answer

Since there's no save feature yet in this MVP, there's nothing to export. Future versions with user accounts will include export features (PDF, calendar integration, etc.).

Question 36

Will you sell my personal information?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. We don't collect personal information in this MVP, and we will never sell user data. Privacy is a core value. See our Privacy Policy for our full commitment.

Question 37

What cookies does the website use?

Accepted Answer

Our website itself does not use any cookies. However, third-party services like Google Analytics may use their own cookies. See our Cookie Policy for complete details about third-party services.

Question 38

How do you choose which attractions to include?

Accepted Answer

We include attractions based on popularity, cultural significance, visitor ratings, and diversity of experiences. Our goal is to show both famous landmarks and hidden gems that provide authentic travel experiences.

Question 39

Can I suggest new destinations or itineraries?

Accepted Answer

Yes! User feedback is invaluable for this MVP. Contact us with your suggestions - destinations you'd like to see, itinerary improvements, or new route ideas. Your input directly influences our expansion priorities.

Question 40

Why isn't my favorite city/attraction listed?

Accepted Answer

We're starting with France and expanding gradually. Content creation takes time to ensure quality and accuracy. If there's a destination you'd love to see, please let us know - we prioritize based on user demand.

Question 41

How often is content updated?

Accepted Answer

We review and update content quarterly, or more frequently if significant changes occur (new attractions open, major renovations, etc.). Pricing and operational details are updated as we receive new information.

Question 42

Who writes the itinerary descriptions?

Accepted Answer

Content is created using a combination of travel expertise, official sources, verified visitor feedback, and AI-assisted writing. Everything is reviewed for accuracy and helpfulness before publication.

Question 43

Are the itineraries tested by real travelers?

Accepted Answer

Itineraries are based on real travel data, timing information, and feasibility checks. As we grow, we plan to implement a community testing program where travelers can share experiences and improvements.

Question 44

What does 'MVP' or 'Minimum Viable Product' mean?

Accepted Answer

MVP means this is an early version of the platform with core features only, designed to test if people find it valuable. It's functional but not feature-complete. Your usage and feedback determine whether we build the full platform with advanced features.

Question 45

What features are coming next?

Accepted Answer

Priority features for future development include: custom trip builder, user accounts, save/favorite functionality, integrated booking, cost calculation from your city, community sharing, mobile apps, and expanded global coverage. Development depends on reaching our user validation goal.

Question 46

Can I provide feedback on the platform?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Feedback is crucial for this MVP. Email us at contact@travelplanner.example.com with suggestions, problems, feature requests, or general thoughts. Every message is read and considered in our development priorities.

Question 47

How can I report a bug or issue?

Accepted Answer

Please report bugs via email to contact@travelplanner.example.com with 'Bug Report' in the subject line. Include details about what happened, which page you were on, and your browser/device. We'll investigate and respond as quickly as possible.

Question 48

Will features I want be added in the future?

Accepted Answer

If enough users want a feature, it's likely to be prioritized! We track all feature requests and build based on what will provide the most value to the most users. The platform's future is shaped by community feedback.

Question 49

Is this a complete product or still in development?

Accepted Answer

This is a functional MVP, not a complete product. Core features work well, but many advanced features are planned for future development. Think of it as 'version 0.9' - solid enough to use, with lots of room to grow.

Question 50

Can I filter itineraries by budget?

Accepted Answer

No, budget filtering is not available because travel costs are highly individual. The same trip can vary significantly in price depending on accommodation choices (hostel vs 5-star hotel), dining preferences, and other personal decisions. Budget filtering may be considered for future versions, but it's not a near-term priority.

Question 51

Can I search for free or low-cost activities?

Accepted Answer

We indicate which attractions are free, but comprehensive free-activity filtering isn't available yet. Future versions will include better budget filtering including 'free only' options.

Question 52

How do I find family-friendly itineraries?

Accepted Answer

Look for itineraries marked as 'Relaxed Pace' - these are designed to be easy and comfortable, suitable for children and older travelers. Relaxed pace itineraries have fewer activities per day and include more breaks.

Question 53

Can I filter by travel style (adventure, relaxation, culture)?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Use our tag filtering system to find itineraries matching your travel style. You can filter by various tags including activity types, themes, and intensity levels to find exactly what you're looking for.

Question 54

Can I see itineraries from my home city?

Accepted Answer

Not yet, but this is a planned feature! Future versions will let you set your origin city and calculate total costs including transport from home.

Question 55

How do I plan a trip with different start/end cities?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our multi-day itineraries support open-jaw routing. You can start in one city and end in a different city or even a different country, with unlimited intermediate cities along the way. This feature is already fully implemented.

Question 56

Why isn't the website loading properly?

Accepted Answer

Try refreshing the page, clearing your browser cache, or using a different browser. If problems persist, email us with details about what you're seeing and which browser/device you're using.

Question 57

Which browsers are supported?

Accepted Answer

Loro planner works on all modern browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge (latest versions). Internet Explorer is not supported. Mobile browsers are fully supported.

Question 58

Do I need to enable cookies?

Accepted Answer

No, our website does not use cookies. The site will work perfectly fine with cookies disabled. Only third-party services like Google Analytics may use cookies for their own purposes.

Question 59

Can I use the platform offline?

Accepted Answer

No, an internet connection is required. Offline functionality (saving itineraries for offline viewing) is a potential future feature, especially for mobile apps.

Question 60

Why are some images not loading?

Accepted Answer

This could be due to slow internet connection or temporary server issues. Try refreshing the page. If specific images never load, please report this to us with the page URL.

Question 61

Can I partner with Loro planner as a tour operator?

Accepted Answer

We're interested in partnerships! If we reach our validation goals and expand beyond MVP, partnerships with tour operators, attractions, and travel service providers will be valuable. Contact us at contact@travelplanner.example.com to discuss.

Question 62

Do you offer affiliate programs?

Accepted Answer

Not currently, as this is an MVP without booking functionality. Affiliate programs may be introduced if we add integrated booking features in the future.

Question 63

Can hotels/attractions advertise on the platform?

Accepted Answer

Advertising opportunities don't exist yet, but sponsored listings or partnerships could be considered for future versions if they provide value to users without compromising our independence.

Question 64

How can I contact you for business inquiries?

Accepted Answer

For partnerships, business opportunities, or media inquiries, email contact@travelplanner.example.com with 'Partnership Inquiry' or 'Business Inquiry' in the subject line. We review all inquiries carefully.
