Yes, I 1000% use these sites regularly and know them all to be reputable, reliable companies. I stand by every recommendation on this listing. I can even offer you discount codes for some of them. Questions? Reach out.

If you like my favorite travel sites, hop over and check out my favorite travel gear and apparel, too. 

Travel Planning

Lonely Planet: One of my all-original favs. I use the practical country information and Thorn Tree Forum often. Also great for pictorial books!	Rough Guides: Another great informational site. Gorgeous photography. They have an interactive map feature, too, which is pretty cool.
Rome2Rio: Rome2Rio is my favorite logistical site. Need to get from Point A to Point B? This site will tell you all your options and all the prices.	Tripadvisor: I use Tripadvisor for everything. Their forums are super helpful, and I’m a big fan of their hotel rankings system.

Transportation

Bahn: I use Bahn for almost all of my train bookings in Europe. The site is extensive and they have great customer service.	Kiwi.com: A reputable flight booking site, though they really do everything. I love their Nomad travel tool, which allows for multi-city planning.
Google Flights: Google Flights is the perfect wanderlust site. Plot travel anywhere and see what time of year and what trip length is cheapest.	Orbitz.com: Another booking site for everything. Orbitz offers Orbucks rewards, which is nice when you’re trying to save money here and there.

Lodging

Agoda: Hotels, resorts, hostels and more. Get the best prices on 2 million+ properties worldwide.	Hotels.com: 6% off hotels with free cancellation. Use code 6SAVEMAY20 by 5/24.
Hostelling International: My fav hostel site for those budget trips. Save with their membership program.	Vrbo: Rentals for all your vacation needs—individual, family, small group, pet-friendly…

Vacation Packages

Gate 1 Travel: Love Gate 1 and highly recommend it. I like their independent trips, but I’ve heard really good things about their escorted tours, too.	TourRadar: TourRadar also has a lot of good deals, particularly in Europe. Younger, trendier, less expensive tour option. Flights not included.
Intrepid Travel: Intrepid usually has really good deals. Sustainability is very important to them! Please note that flights are not included.	Trafalgar: Higher-end tour company, if that’s your bag. Flights not included. Book a 2021 trip to Europe from the US and save up to 10%!

Day Tours

Big Bus Tours: Discover the great cities of the world. Make hop-on/hop-off sightseeing the number one thing to do on your city break.	PARISCityVISION: Biggest tour operator in the City of Lights. Get 10% off an audio tour of Versailles and Giverny Gardens!
