Nine guided steps take your whole group from idea to itinerary. Everyone votes, nobody chases, and you keep the money big groups usually waste. Behind every step is a working travel agency, not just an app.
Group trips fall apart when everything happens at once. Each step unlocks only when the one before it is done. One decision at a time.
Get the right people in and stop the flakes early.
A short survey that surfaces what the group actually wants.
The date poll that ends the “any weekend works for me” spiral.
Anonymous budget votes so nobody overcommits.
A shortlist that matches the winning budget to the winning vibe.
Data-backed buying windows so the group stops overpaying.
Compare group stays side by side, then book.
Vote on experiences so everyone shows up.
One itinerary, a payment schedule, and a group that still likes each other.
The full method unlocks when your group signs up.
The apps you have tried were built by software companies. Groups by Gatherwell was built by advisors who book group travel for a living, which is why there are negotiated supplier rates and real people behind the steps rather than a support inbox.
A shared canvas is where group trips go to die. Each step here unlocks only when the one before it is settled, so the group moves forward instead of circling for six weeks.
Our Gatherwell Travel app is a free companion for the part that ruins friendships: shared budgets, pledges, contributions, split expenses and live balances, so one person is never quietly fronting three thousand dollars.
The Gatherwell Travel app is free on the App Store, with or without a membership. Download it here.
Move the sliders. This is what a group your size typically hands away, and what our subscription costs instead.
Every step is backed by working advisors with real supplier relationships. Get stuck, and you can hand any step, or the whole trip, to the Gatherwell Travel team.
Your group agrees the per-person number before anyone falls in love with a destination, and every step after that respects it. Budget votes stay anonymous so nobody overcommits to keep up.
We watch the data on booking windows and tell your group when to buy. Airfare is never a sure thing, and we say so.
Villas and group stays through our Rental Escapes and Luxury Rentals partnerships, alongside the destinations we have personally tested.
Dates, budget, destination, stays, activities: each decision is a quick poll with a deadline. No 400-message threads, and no organizer left chasing.
Each completed step produces something you keep: a budget spreadsheet, a flight plan, a payment schedule, and a printable final itinerary.
One membership covers your whole group. Travelers join free with an invite link; only the organizer subscribes.
If your group would rather enjoy the trip than plan it, or one generous host is covering everyone, our full-service advisory team designs and books the entire journey. Meaningful travel, beautifully planned.
The membership is for saving money.
Full Service is for saving time.
If your group isn't ready to start planning, leave your email and we'll send occasional group-travel savings tips.
