Does this sound familiar?

When you’re planning a trip…

You don’t know where to start or who to trust
You don’t want to spend your time doing research every night

But at the same time…

You want someone else to do the research, bookings, and itinerary-building but you don’t need anything custom curated
You are planning a private trip and want immediate and direct vetted recommendations

Then 3-day itineraries are the perfect solution. Our Bite-Size Trips capture the feeling of TTLT travel in a short timeframe. But more on that later…

The Travel Planning Dilemma

The challenges of travel planning are sometimes so overwhelming it stops people in their tracks. If you google what to do in Florence, you’re going to be bombarded with blogs, businesses, influencers, and brands shouting recommendations at you. Some of them might be good, some of them might be a tourist trap. How do you know if the recommendation you’re picking is actually a winner? What if you didn’t have to take that gamble with your trip?

What is a 3 - Day Itinerary?

This is the perfect solution for you! A 3-day itinerary is a curated plan for a short trip. Sometimes people incorporate them as a part of a longer trip or as their entire trip itself. It provides a detailed outline of activities, attractions, and experiences to make the most of the limited time available at the destination.

These itineraries optimize the traveler's journey by including must-see sites, off-the-beaten-path gems, and leisure time for an unforgettable trip in a condensed timeframe that still captures the destination’s essence.

3-day itineraries can be adapted for solo travelers, families, couples, or groups. They are also flexible in the timeframe that you want to travel. Just fill the three days you’re going to be in the city with this pre-planned itinerary and you’re good to go!

Advantages of a Pre-Planned 3-Day Itinerary

Time-saving: A 3-day itinerary saves you time before and during your trip. This style of itinerary eliminates the need for extensive research and planning. It comes with every single detail planned and accounted for. Then during your trip, each day-by-day itinerary is intentionally arranged in a way that maximizes your route through the city, giving you a stronger sense of the city’s culture and history while eliminating backtracking and randomly hopping around.

Stress reduction: Having a structured plan reduces stress and uncertainty before and during the trip. Before the trip, you don’t have to worry about carefully vetting your own experiences and crossing your fingers you picked a winner. You can confidently go on your trip knowing you have expert recommendations. During the trip, there’s no stress in decision fatigue. Your dinner plans have already been made.

Local insights: 3-day itineraries mean access to insider tips and hidden gems from those who know the destination best. Don’t get caught in tourist traps. Instead, have a trip full of authentic and unique experiences.

One size fits all: 3-day itineraries can accommodate solo travelers, families, couples, and groups.

Identify Your Travel Style and Preferences

An important aspect of deciding if a 3-day itinerary is the right fit for you is identifying your travel style and preference.

If you’d rather have a longer itinerary that covers a number of cities and is tailor-made to your exact interests, then Travel Consulting is the better option for you. With tailor-made travel, you can work one on one with a travel expert to make a trip specifically for you.

If you want incredibly exclusive experiences and a completely effortless traveling experience, then a small group trip is the best fit for you. With a 24/7 tour host, you don’t have to think about a single detail including tips, directions, and everything else. All you have to do is soak up experiences that are only accessible through personal relationships and friendships that exist at TTLT.

It’s also important to note whether the itinerary is focused on exploring historical sites, indulging in culinary delights, or seeking outdoor adventures. Make sure the activities included line up with your personal interests and goals for your trip.
