The 9 Best Travel Itinerary Apps for Booking Activites, Tours, and More
Technology has made a lot of things easier, one being travel. With just a click of a button, you can book a flight anywhere. Unfortunately, it stops there. Unlike old-school travel agencies, most of these sites will not act as personal concierges to make sure your trip is fully planned. These days, however, several third-party developers have recognized this need and have made planning easier with travel packages, tours, and activities. Now, all you need to worry about is choosing the right app. From activities to tours and even transportation, here are the best travel itinerary apps that will make your trips better.
1| GetYourGuide
This app gives you access to the best guided tours and must-see attractions while skipping the lines. Since GetYourGuide's headquarters are found in Germany, you can mainly count on it for things to do, attractions, and tours in Europe. That's not to say that it doesn't offer anything beyond Europe: Try booking desert safaris in Dubai, cruises and water tours in Santorini, or even snorkeling tours in Maui. If you're guilty of planning things at the last minute, you'll be pleased to know that one of its selling features is that you can book last-minute tickets.

Have you ever traveled to a place, only to find out while already there that your favorite artist is playing? Like a personal concierge service, Headout prides itself in getting those hard-to-get tickets for the best shows, concerts, activities, movies, and events in town. What's more, out of over 3,000 experiences, almost 100 of Headout's experiences allow you to earn your cash back. But, as in life, we can't have everything since Headout is only available in select cities, including New York, San Francisco, Dubai, Las Vegas, London, Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Madrid, Venice, Budapest, Amsterdam, Melbourne, Sydney, and Abu Dhabi.
3| KKday
KKday is one of the most popular travel apps for good reason. With it, you can find special local experiences no matter what destination you're headed to or what your interests are. The app makes it clear that it has something for everyone, whether you're traveling as a family, couple, or backpackers. Some of the activities it highlights include visits to heritage landmarks and natural wonders—it even has something for adrenaline junkies. You can pick from almost 20,000 experiences in over 80 countries and 500 cities all over the world.
