Google Travel Stopped Innovating.
WanderWith Didn't.
Google Trips was shut down. Google Travel is just a flight and hotel search. If you want AI-powered itineraries, group planning, and budget tracking — WanderWith is the answer.

Why People Switch from Google Travel
AI Does the Planning
Tell WanderWith your destination, dates, and budget. The AI generates a complete day-by-day itinerary with places, timings, and local tips — no research required.
Built for Groups
Google Travel is a solo tool. WanderWith lets your entire friend group join a trip, suggest places, vote on activities, and plan together in real time.
Budget That Actually Works
Track shared expenses, split costs, and see per-person breakdowns. Google Travel has no budget features — WanderWith keeps everyone on the same page financially.
Mobile-First Experience
WanderWith is designed as a native mobile app with offline support. Access your itineraries, maps, and group chat even without internet connectivity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happened to Google Travel / Google Trips?
Google Trips was discontinued in August 2019. Google Travel (travel.google.com) remains but offers limited planning tools — primarily hotel and flight search with basic saved-trip lists. It lacks AI itinerary generation, group collaboration, and budget tracking features.
Is WanderWith free to use?
Yes, WanderWith is completely free. You get unlimited AI-generated itineraries, group trip planning, budget tracking, and real-time chat — all without any subscription or hidden fees.
Can WanderWith replace Google Travel for group trips?
Absolutely. Unlike Google Travel which has no group features, WanderWith is built for group planning from the ground up. Create a trip, invite friends with a code, vote on activities, split budgets, and chat in real time — all in one app.
Does WanderWith work offline?
Yes. WanderWith caches your itineraries and trip data locally so you can access your plans even without internet — perfect for traveling in areas with poor connectivity.
