Keep track of all your crucial details in one easy-to-use app and get going faster. Create polls, manage RSVPs, add notes, and share Vrbos or Airbnbs directly within Troupe®.

ALL YOUR TRIP DETAILS IN ONE EASY-TO-USE APP Create one centralized tripsite for your getaway, where you and your friends can share everything from flight details to travel dates, hotel options to restaurant recommendations, all from the comfort of one simple app. Easily keep track of everything in one place, so you don’t have to jump from iMessage to Gmail, Facebook to Whatsapp just to know what’s going on. Manage trip RSVPs, set up polls, add suggestions, and vote as a group to build consensus and get going on your next group trip faster. DITCH BORING LINKS FOR PICTURES THAT INSPIRE Add links for destinations or hotels and watch as images magically appear to get your group excited for what’s to come. Have a photo in mind you know your friends won’t be able to resist? Change things up by uploading an image of your own or grabbing a beautiful snapshot from our friends at Unsplash to add a dash of color. It’s a surefire way to get travelers excited about what's to come and help your Troupe get going faster. NOT SURE WHERE TO START? POLL YOUR FRIENDS Create a poll to gather feedback on what fellow travelers want to do on your trip. Build custom questions and answers that help you narrow in on key details like budget or hotel options, what kinds of activities people want to book, and which flights look best to the group. You can even add links to polls to help your friends make decisions and get going faster INVITE YOUR FRIENDS AND KEEP THEM UPDATED ON YOUR TRIP’S PROGRESS Wrangling a large group? Keep track of who’s coming, who’s not, and who’s still a “maybe,” with our simple invite management system. Troupe notifies you and your planning group every time a new traveler joins and updates everyone when suggestions are made, voting has begun, or feedback is needed to keep the momentum going. Inviting friends via group message, SMS, or email makes it easy to add new travelers as your group trip evolves and grows. BROWSE AND BOOK VACATION RENTALS IN APP Through our booking and rental partner, Vrbo, travelers can browse, suggest, and vote on short-term rental homes (as well as hotels) without ever having to leave Troupe. Once your planning group votes on where they want to stay, simply book the property and get going. Can’t find a Vrbo you like? Travelers can also add links to hotels, Airbnbs, or any website on the internet, allowing you to compare all your options in one easy-to-find place.
