Rome2Rio: Trip Planner Reviews

This is my first ever app review, but I felt it my civic duty to sing its praises:
I’d be lost in Europe begging on some corner with a crumpled up map in my hands and tears running down my face if it weren’t for Rome2Rio. I live to travel, but I consider myself “directionally challenged,” and the idea of doing a bunch of research on the best way to get from point A to point B would be unimaginably frustrating. this app takes the stress out of traveling, and I recommend Rome2Rio to people ALL the time! Yes, it helps you find the best route to get from country to country or city to city, but you can also narrow it down and put in an address or attraction. I can finally travel solo confidently with Rome2Rio. It hasn’t let me down yet! I’d follow it to the ends of the earth and back. How Rome2Rio isn’t more widely known or reviewed is beyond me, every traveler should have it.

I always wanted a way to see options for travel beyond flights. Maybe a train takes longer, but maybe you don't care and it's cheaper. Maybe a mountain bus ride in an economically developing country is scary and you'd like to experience it anyway. Rome2Rio lays out great options for travel based on price. You don't have to search endlessly for different forms of travel that are independent of one another all the while trying to find linking times and places. Rome2Rio saves you time, money, and shows you how you can be adventurous without a travel guide. I've had this idea for an app or website before, but they have done it so much better than I imagined!!

Rome2Rio has been on my phone for some time. I use it occasionally but never realized it’s full potential until recently. My wife and I were sitting in Lisbon Portugal after I had planned out a trip with specific itinerary. Sitting there in a square, we could see the Christ the King statue overlooking the city but far away across the water. I had researched that Uber or public transit was the only way. I had a passing thought of this app and opened up Rome2Rio . To my surprise I had a detailed route including a ferry I hadn’t thought of before. The ferry was 10 min and the walking to and from wasn’t much. On the fly we picked up and made it there when it wasn’t in our plans. Great app!

Rome2Rio is great I love how Rome2Rio is different than all other navigation apps I like the set up I like how you can navigate where you want to go if you are a person who wants the longest or prettiest way that can be a quickest way do Rome2Rio but sometimes it can tell you a way that is super duper long a lot longer and slower and it wastes your time so shorter distances are better it is a great app for different types of vehicles more than google maps has and Rome2Rio is helpful very helpful if you have a person who lives inside the city downtown very helpful for that

I stumbled on Rome2Rio by googling what was the nearest train station to the military gate and this came up. If you put in where you going from where you want to depart it’ll tell you how much time it’ll take to get to your destination via different modes of travel (train, car, taxi, and bus) as well as how much it cold cost so you can estimate how much money you need to pull out. If you want to take the train or bus it’ll tell you which bus or trains to get on and where to transfer at and so forth. For my second time in Korea, Rome2Rio is a great tool to have. I use it in conjunction with the Subway Korea app.

My first time visiting Spain. I used this app app to help navigate how and where to go. Rome2Rio is amazing. It showed me different routes of transportation from train, to bus, ride share, driving. I really liked that it gave a recommendation too which is best route. Most times we needed train ride. We just click ticket image at bottom of app and all the pricing and departure times are available. All e-tickets are sent to email. I had a complication and emailed the company. The response to my questions and complaint are handled very promptly and so professionally. Highly recommend Rome2Rio.

this app is one of my favorite resources when I'm looking to travel. Definitely an essential if you have a more complex itinerary or if you're traveling to a smaller city and want a simplified outline of your options. Rome2Rio works great – I just wish there was a feature that allowed you to sign into your account *inside* Rome2Rio , so that we don't have to access to mobile site in order to do so. I use this service on both my phone and computer, so it would be nice to be able to save my searches via my account in Rome2Rio rather than through Safari. Otherwise, I have never run into any technical bugs or annoyances, and I have no complaints!

While traveling around Europe this Spring, we were paying outrageous prices for packaged tours until a fellow traveler suggested Rome2Rio. It gave us the confidence to use public transportation and to know when taxi drivers were trying to put one over on us (like not using the meter in Athens). I would compare it from time to time with Google Maps mass transit option and Rome2Rio was always more accurate. No doubt Rome2Rio saved us money but more importantly it opened up opportunities that we would have passed over because we were unsure how.

This was the best app to plan my trips and help u find the cheapest ways to go around as well, is my first to go app, really love it but today had a little problem, was just looking around to see prices and it showed me pretty good prices like always but when I tried to go to the plane tkts link for all of them is showing me “no plane tkts found. sorry” while using the information they gave me I could booked tkts on the side
I hope it all goes back to normal

We travel several times a year and often find ourselves off the beaten path so having this app is invaluable. Just type in your point of origin and destination and several options (drive, transit, air) appear with routes and estimated costs along with links to the airplane, train, bus etc. I’m on a forum with fellow travelers and whenever someone poses the question about how to get from A to B many respond with this app. It is our GO TO app when we are looking for travel options.

I remember using the website Rome to Rio years ago and I was able to add all my stops on my trip and see my whole route laid out on the map. It doesn’t appear to be possible anymore. At least not on a mobile device or Rome2Rio .

I love the Rome to Rio app for finding estimates of transportation prices, and routes to get between place. It is a great app and I recommend to anyone who does a lot of traveling.

Dear app developers, Can you please make it so I can route out my entire trip and see it on the map? Like add multiple destinations? There is not a single app in Rome2Rio Store that allows me to do this. One app lets you add up to 7 destinations in a route, but it’s mediocre and I need to be able to add unlimited stops (I am going to travel long term).

Please update Rome2Rio to include this feature! It would be a perfect 5 stars if I could do this. I’m seriously begging you haha

this app is a super helpful app and a favorite. It made planning our upcoming tour of the Balkans a breeze. Rome2Rio provides distances between point A to B, travel time, and various transportation options. It also includes links to almost everything you need to complete your travel plans which include local car hire, guides, hotel, etc. It gave us confidence to travel independently vs. joining a guided tour. A big thank you to Rome2Rio developer(s)!

We're planning a trip and trying to maintain a budget. Rome2Rio has helped us explore different travel options and allows us to see cost, time spent traveling, and methods of travel all on one easy to read page. The map provides enough detail to explore other travel options to nearby cities-either to branch out or stay within a certain budget.

Rome2Rio use to be my go to app for best traveling options but $omething has changed. it looks like they sold out and are only featuring sponsors or advertisers. Tried to help out a friend by showing them a route, I take monthly, on Rome2Rio and my route isn’t even an option!! Come to find out this bus company did not advertise so it’s no longer offered as an option. The routing is the least expensive, the fastest (after flying) and the most reliable public option. And it’s not anywhere on the website or app as an option. In my eyes, BIG FAIL this app!! Sad to have to delete what WAS such an amazing tool.

with a few minimal errors this site helped me navigate through 16 countries, on 3 continents in 84 days last winter.

it found flights on airlines that neither i nor my travel agent were able to find on conventional travel sites or Sabre.

it was able to do things that made my life much easier.

this is a no brainer for useful info. other sites say no flights found.

without this i have no idea how i would have made it from point a to point b in norway to finland and in Sri Lanka.

just amazing and when reaching out to ask some questions they even asked me for some info to help them make sure this site/ app was perfect.

great app, great support team and great idea for the most useful app anywhere.

I have used Rome2Rio to travel the world! It is consistently the best tool I have to travel from one place to the next. I love the variety of options it gives and how it even gives approximate prices! I am always recommending Rome2Rio to fellow travelers cause I personally don’t travel without it.

A wonderful resource that links you to local bus and train companies (if that’s how you choose to travel). Compares travel times and costs, and is the best way to figure out complex travel! How else would I have found out that the fastest and cheapest way from Kaiserslautern to London Heathrow is through Luxembourg City? I always check before I travel...

Nice app indeed. One feature that would be nice is to have options to add groups of people as part of the cost calculations. For example, what would be the cost for group of two adults and two minors under 12 if riding public transportation? It will give more accurate cost and provide better decision to Rome2Rio users.

I don’t like how with the new update you changed how you show the price of each leg of a trip. It was nice when you could view just the air travel for a trip and then you showed the price of each flight individually for a given day for a given airport. Now you just give a price range and I have to do so much more work looking up the prices myself. Now that you’ve taken that feature away, or changed it, I’ll be deleting Rome2Rio . Thanks for taking away what I thought was the best part of your app, showing people what the cheapest way to travel was.

A year ago I went to Rome and Rome2Rio was amazing, gave me turn by turn directions to my points of interest. Walking, taking the bus or taxi was easy because you could quickly see your “blue bubble” move as u walked or rode the bus, but this year while in Paris and Florence, I noticed I no longer had a blue bubble on the map showing where I was or if I was going in the right direction. I was so frustrated, because I kept going in the WRONG direction - what happened? I ultimately had to use Google Maps. I checked my gps setting and they're on. Wish I had the OLD VERSION!!! 😡
