About Trazo Travel Guides

Trazo Travel Guides is published by Trazo Ventures LLC, a travel technology company based in Brooklyn, New York, and the maker of Trazo Travel — the app for planning group trips and splitting shared expenses without spreadsheets.

Why we write these guides

Trazo Travel was founded by Hamilton after a group trip through Europe hit its low point: a full hour spent standing in the street while eight people failed to pick a restaurant. The trip was great; the coordination was not. That experience — the group-chat gridlock, the mystery expenses, the one friend fronting everything — became the company.

These guides are the research we do anyway, published. Planning a group trip means answering the same hard questions every time: what does this actually cost per person, what needs booking first, and how do we split the money without anyone feeling burned. Most travel content ignores the group angle entirely, so we write the version we wished existed.

How our guides work

Every destination guide carries real per-person cost estimates for a typical group, sourced from current lodging and activity pricing and refined over time with anonymized, aggregated insights from real group trips planned in the Trazo Travel app. Cost figures are estimates — your trip will vary with season, group size, and taste — and we update guides as prices and trends move. Nothing on this site is sponsored, and no destination or business pays for placement.

The app behind the site

Trazo Travel handles the parts of group travel that break group chats: collaborative itineraries, voting on plans, group chat, and expense tracking that shows exactly who owes whom and settles everyone in one pass. It's available on the App Store and Google Play.
