Book it yourself
Services I use myself
For trips you’d like to organize on your own. Chosen for reliability — with the criteria I use myself.
Accommodation
Trip.com
Hotels and apartments worldwide, with clearly stated cancellation terms.
What I look forLocation first. I look at highly rated properties and read the most recent reviews, not just the average.
Book on Trip.comFlights & trains
Trip.com
Flights and train tickets in one place, with fares compared by date.
What I look forBefore buying, I check connections: at least 90 minutes in Europe, more for long-haul flights.
Book on Trip.comTours & experiences
GetYourGuide
Skip-the-line tickets, guided tours and day trips.
What I look forSmall groups and guides with specific reviews. I skip tours that cover everything and show nothing.
Book on GetYourGuideSome links on this page may be affiliate links. If you book through them, Gajdosan may receive a small commission — you don’t pay anything extra, and the recommendations don’t change because of it.
When it’s better to hand it over
Several destinations, a group, a company —
or simply no time.
That’s when organization saves more than it costs.
