Make your trip unique!

I chose to go through RockingTrip for my trip to Bali, because I didn’t want to discover this island only from a tourist point of view. I wanted to discover the people, their way of life and their beliefs. RockingTrip allowed me to discover places with few tourists and yet full of meaning. Leaving with people to meet on the spot to exchange without necessarily a commercial goal was a real plus, because I was able to attend important moments in the life of the Balinese without being the tourist passing through, but rather the guest of the family that we receive. The roadbook created by three different editors was an opportunity to approach Bali from three different angles, it was wonderful.

Last year I wanted to do a family trip that was out of the ordinary, but I didn’t have time to search all the travel forums for the best ideas. I knew which country I wanted to go to: Kenya, but I didn’t have any contacts there which was a hindrance to going on such a big trip. I used RockingTrip to find the best ideas, talked to the three travel writers to get the best advice for my trip, booked the tickets and hotels and we left as a family for 3 weeks. Each week was wonderful, as I was able to fulfil my children’s and my husband’s dreams, without the help of RockingTrip we would have had at best a package tour, but here everything was tailor-made.

I had wanted to go and discover Iceland’s volcanoes with a real volcanologist for a very long time, but unfortunately it was impossible to find this person through my network and my shyness has always been a block to realise this dream. I also looked at organised trips, but I don’t like this kind of travel where everything is fixed on a minute-by-minute schedule. RockingTrip was the solution, I was able to describe precisely what I wanted from my trip, take the time to select the most relevant editors, exchange with them and finally go on an adventure with my son. The trip was as intimate as it was powerful and the meeting with the editors’ contacts unforgettable.

I am used to travelling without constraints by booking my own plane tickets and choosing my accommodation or restaurants at the last minute. I am used to booking my own plane tickets and choosing my accommodation and restaurants at the last minute. I am used to this type of travel and yet I was pleasantly surprised with RockingTrip, because the advice I received was a perfect complement to what I am used to doing. Having real human contacts on site who are not there just to make money, but really as friends of friends, is a real plus and great memories.

I discovered RockingTrip through a friend who had loved her trip and in particular the encounters she had made. I decided to give it a try, I found the site very easy to use, I was able to express everything I was looking for and I chose quite quickly the 4 editors of the 4 areas I wanted to discover. Once on site I had a great pleasure to meet the contacts provided by the editors, apart from the fabulous landscapes of Patagonia, the human encounters are the most beautiful memories of my trip.

Passionate about paragliding, I had a dream: to paraglide in the best conditions in Death Valley in the USA. Not knowing anyone there despite my network of friends I had resigned myself to not thinking about it. And then I discovered RockingTrip and its network all over the world. I launched my request without really believing in it and I was surprised to receive several proposals of Roadbook on this subject. Once I had chosen the two most relevant writers for the two areas I wanted to go to, I could benefit from their network on the spot to make my dream come true in the best conditions. I didn’t need to book my accommodation or my plane tickets, but to make my dream come true with passionate people was just magic, thank you RockingTrip.

RockingTrip’s travel advice

RockingTrip is the meeting of travel enthusiasts around a common goal: the sharing of truly tailor-made travel advice for your next holiday.

Here is what we propose in 4 steps:

1. You make a quick brief (5 minutes) of your trip by answering simple questions.
2. You fix the price of the advice that will be proposed to you.
3. You receive proposals from several roadbookers (travel guides) who know your travel location perfectly and you choose the one who will share his best advice and contacts on the spot with you in complete safety.
4. Once you have finished, you will receive a travel guide in the language you have chosen, full of tips and personalized advice.

RockingTrip is the possibility to describe your trip as you wish, to submit it to our community of roadbookers (travel guides) composed of people who know perfectly well the places where you want to go, and to ask them for their best advice, their best plans, and their contacts. All this in a secure, private and paid way for the roadbooker. You will then have the possibility to exchange via our messaging system with the roadbookers to refine your desires and to have the advice that perfectly matches your expectations for your trip.

On RockingTrip you will only get advice, we do not offer you anything else, no purchase of plane or train tickets, no booking of accommodation … just the best advice with suggestions of accommodation, places, activities … that you can do throughout your trip.

RockingTrip is for independent travellers who want to build their trip with the best advice, but who want to remain free to choose their accommodation, transport and itinerary.

Really personalised travel advice

When you want to go on a trip, for your holidays, you can:

• Use the services of a travel agency, which is simple and essential for a large number of travellers, but not necessarily the assurance of having personalised advice from people who know your destination perfectly.
• You can ask friends, provided that you have friends who know the country and the places you want to go.
• You can also use the internet, do your research, spend hours compiling tons of information, with sites all saying the same thing, surfing forums with endless posts, but with people always eager to give you advice, but with no security on the validity of the advice.
• Looking at travel blogs, often very complete, full of tips, but which will never be personalised and whose validity of the information you find will lose a lot of value over time. It is often necessary to look at a large number of them to cross-reference the information and not have any bad surprises during your stay.

RockingTrip is the assurance and security of having real personalized advice, just for you and perfectly matching your trip, the country, the places and the activities you want to do.

It’s also the possibility to benefit from a premium concierge service throughout your trip (premium option).

On RockingTrip, you will not be able to buy plane or train tickets, book your hotel, buy a boat ticket, or rent a car. Each guide will be able to give you the advice they think is best for you. You will have total freedom on the reservations you wish to make, whether it is months in advance or at the last minute once you are there.

A human vision of travel

For us, a successful trip is the combination of the beauty of the places and activities, but also of the people we meet. To make your trip unforgettable, we encourage our roadbookers to suggest one or more contacts they know on the spot, whether they are professionals or simple individuals whom they trust to exchange with you if you wish.

Because even with a great network, it is not always possible to have the right contact on the spot to be able to do a particular activity or discover a place. Not everyone has friends who travel the world every year and go to the countries or destinations of your dreams.

With RockingTrip you will have the right contacts to make sure you don’t miss out on your dream trip.
