Yes — the AI trip planner, destination finder, Fam Score and trip builder are completely free. We earn a small commission if you book a hotel or flight through our links, at no extra cost to you.
The Fam Score rates each destination from 1–10 across five dimensions: Flight Access (how easy it is to get there from your cities), Family Fit, Value for Money, Group Logistics, and Season Match for your travel dates. Hover or tap the score on any card to see the full breakdown.
We connect you to the best booking platforms — Booking.com, Expedia and Google Flights — with your destination, dates and group size pre-filled. You book directly with them, with no markup from us.
Absolutely. The planner covers destinations worldwide and is especially strong for international family and group travel. Just enter your departure city and it will factor in flight connections and travel time to each destination.
Yes — this is one of TouristFam's standout features. Add as many departure cities as you need, with the number of travelers from each. The AI finds destinations that work well for everyone, and the flight search shows separate links per origin city.
The AI is powered by Claude (Anthropic) and draws on extensive travel knowledge to match destinations to your inputs. Cost estimates and flight times are approximate — always verify prices on booking platforms before committing.
After you see your results, use the Refine option to add your travel rewards program. The AI will factor in your points and highlight how to maximise them for that trip. The credit card section also shows the best cards for earning points on travel.
Once you pick a destination, the Trip Builder creates a full day-by-day itinerary, suggests real hotels with booking links, organises flights per departure city, and gives you a complete budget breakdown — all in one place.
