  1. 5/5Awesome!

    I don’t even give ratings ever. This is literally my first time giving a review on something in years. I find this app extremely helpful, FULL of information! fun, informative and I don’t know how many times I was just in awe with moments like, “What?!” Didn’t know that. It makes you want to just get up and explore. I’ve been living in Atlanta 2 years and I always wondered how do you find all the good places and fun places when you don’t really know anyone, or when I want to travel to another state over I want to know what’s good there and maximize my time and money. This app solves those issues! Thank you!! Love this app.

  2. 5/5The Best Travel & Culture Site

    While this site has articles highlighting “best of” events, sights, etc., which are great, they provide much more detail than other sites about the art, food, culture, history, geography, and people in the area. The writers have usually spent considerable time in the areas about which they write so you can rely on their information. And the pieces are well written. We are traveling in southern France and their articles covered east to west, beaches to mountains and also covered weather & events at differing times of year. I plan on consulting Culture Trip from now on before we travel.

  3. 1/5App No Longer Functions

    I used to use this app all the time to help with trip planning. Recently it has totally stopped working; I cannot save any posts and cannot even log on the app. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it to see if it would fix the problem but it has not. I can’t access any plans I made previously either. The problem started around the time they took away the section about hotels/hotel booking. That was always a useful way to find out key details about amenities, neighborhoods, etc. Even without hotel information, the app would still be useful to plan dining and activities for travel. Unfortunately, due to its lack of functionality, the app is close to useless now. This has been weeks or months now.

  4. 5/5Why CULTURE TOUR is a must for travelers

    We travel to EUROPE each year for 2or 3 weeks and had to find our own hidden GEMS. This app gets you driving in the right directions to find your own HIDDEN GEMS. The big cities are always a TOP destination, however, finding those little obscure villages along the trip are what create lasting memories for the traveler. Heading in any direction with or without a hotel reservation makes the traveler explore towns that were not even in the travel plans. Being a PISCES always leads me to wonderful towns along RIVERS, LAKES, & SEASIDES. Don’t be afraid to rent a car or take a train in any direction to find your new FAVORITE place in this world. Look at your maps and find towns along the railways in major towns and avoid the problems of trying to drive into the many ancient towns that you MUST SEE. A $2.00 train fare will save you all of the fears of traversing towns with streets originally DONKEY PATHS.

  5. 4/5App was great

    The app was great for planning a trip that your unfamiliar with or trying something wild. I loved this app a lot but there is something I hope they can change. I would definitely give it 5 stars if you could tell that you’ve already read that article. It would be extremely helpful because there are limited arrivals for a specific place. I keep accidentally opening up the same articles and it does get annoying at one point. Of course not a big problem just hope they could think about it. No matter what i still love the app and will always use it for my future trips.

  3. 1/5

    Bring back the old app! Used to be really amazing. When I went to Thailand for a month, years ago, it would give me invaluable tips on places off the beaten track and I recommended the app to so many people who were surprised by my alternative knowledge. Now the app only works to sell trips. Real shame.

  4. 2/5

    Used to be good for guides. I loved using this app several years ago for inspiration for things to see and do, but since they've implemented 'Trips', the 'Guides' section barely works. 'Read more' on articles doesn't work rendering all the guides completely useless. If such functionality errors remain unfixed, I'll be uninstalling. With inspiration from the guides I might have considered looking at the Trips section, but otherwise what's the point when I can book trips anywhere else?
