1. Choose your planning path

Use the Travel Budgeting Tool when you want to work in self-service mode: enter your trip details, compare likely costs and options, save plans, reopen previous work, and export results where available.

Use the Travel Planning Assistant when you want human-supported planning: send a request, clarify details with Globe2See, review a work estimate, and receive a human-prepared plan with recommendations, links, and files.

2. Account, language, and starting options

You can start planning in the way that fits your situation. Some actions, such as saving work, opening paid details, billing, or managing Travel Assistant requests, require login.

• Use the menu item "Start Budgeting" to begin with the self-service Travel Budgeting Tool.
• Use "Request Travel Assistant" or "New request" to begin a human-supported Travel Assistant request.
• Use "Saved Plans" to reopen, duplicate, or continue previous Budget Tool plans where available.
• Use "My Requests" to follow Travel Assistant request status, messages, quotes, payments, and delivered materials.
• Choose your display language where available. English may still be used as the base language for some internal reference details.
• Use travel preferences to make repeated self-service planning faster when that option is available.
• Use "Send feedback" or the Support page if something is unclear or does not work as expected.
• Keep the final booking decisions in your own hands. Globe2See helps you prepare before you buy or reserve anything.

Button names in this manual are kept in English so you can match them with the current Globe2See interface.

3. Use your own language, writing, or voice

Globe2See supports multilingual trip planning where available. You can describe your trip idea naturally instead of starting from a blank checklist.

• In the Budget Tool, freeform writing or voice can help turn your trip idea into structured planner fields for review.
• In the Travel Assistant flow, your request, messages, and clarifications can help the planning specialist understand what you need.

Globe2See supports 50+ languages where available. Voice availability can depend on the selected language and browser/device support. English may remain the base language for some internal planning or source-reference details.

4. Budget Tool: start and review your request

The Budget Tool is the self-service route for creating a structured travel budget and planning view.

• Start with "Trip Planner" if you want to fill the planning fields step by step.
• Use "Start from Preferences" when you want to begin from saved travel preferences.
• Use "Describe My Trip" when you want to write or speak your trip idea first.
• Review the planner fields that Globe2See creates or receives from you before planning continues.
• Check the starting point, destinations, dates, travellers, budget, and travel style carefully.
• Generate the first result and review "Plan Summary" before deciding whether to continue.
• Open "Plan Details" when you are ready to review more detailed options and supporting information.

Route-dependent results are more reliable when your starting point, destinations, and travel dates are checked before the run continues.

5. Budget Tool: Plan Summary and Plan Details

"Plan Summary" gives a compact view of the trip request, optimized costs, your budget signal, and the main cost categories. It is useful for checking whether the trip idea seems realistic before spending more time or money.

"Plan Details" gives a deeper working plan with sections such as transport, accommodation, food, activities, other costs, and local information. The detail level depends on available data, selected options, and the planning run.

6. Budget Tool: save, reuse, and export

The Budget Tool is designed for repeated planning, not only one single draft. When supported by your account state and plan state, you can continue and reuse previous planning work.

Typical self-service actions include:

• use "Save Plan" to store a planning result for later review
• open "Saved Plans" to continue from a previous plan
• duplicate a saved plan when you want to test different dates, destinations, or preferences
• rerun planning when you want a fresh result based on updated inputs
• use "Plan PDF" or PDF download where available
• return later and continue planning instead of starting from zero each time

Saved and exported materials remain planning aids. Always check current provider details before booking.

7. What the Budget Tool can show in Plan Details

The Budget Tool can combine different planning areas into one working trip view. Exact content depends on route, destination, data availability, and selected planning options.

Transport

• compare flights and possible ground transport between destinations where available
• show costs, durations, links, and comparison context for route choices
• separate intercity transport from local information where relevant
• use planning estimates when exact provider prices are not available
• show low-price options and, for flights where available, faster options
• include map or provider references where available
• avoid promising that every route or operator can be fully priced

Accommodation

• show accommodation ideas for each destination and date range
• include prices or estimates when available
• include ratings, images, addresses, and map or provider links where available
• highlight selected options and alternatives where the data supports it
• help you compare price level before booking directly with providers

Food places

• show breakfast, lunch, and dinner ideas where available
• include restaurant or food-place details such as ratings, address, links, or opening hours where available
• use estimates when actual menu prices are not available
• help you understand likely food cost level for the trip
• ask you to confirm current menus, opening hours, and reservations directly with providers

Activities and interests

• show activity ideas and interest-based options for destinations
• include ratings, images, map links, and practical notes where available
• estimate costs when exact provider prices are unavailable
• help compare what may fit your trip style, group, and budget

Other costs

• show additional estimated cost areas outside the main travel components
• avoid estimating detailed taxi, rideshare, or car-rental pricing inside destinations

Local information

• show practical destination notes where available
• include local transport references such as websites, phone numbers, or map links where available
• include airport, station, or ferry context where available
• include safety, timing, accessibility, or route-review reminders where relevant
• help you identify what to check before final booking
• avoid replacing official government, provider, visa, health, or safety advice
• keep local information as planning context, not a guaranteed live operating notice
• encourage checking current details directly from official sources

8. Travel Assistant: start a request

The Travel Planning Assistant is the human-supported route. Start with "Request Travel Assistant" or "New request", describe what you need, and answer the Digital Assistant questions so the request becomes clearer before a planning specialist reviews it.

You can use text and, where available, voice. You can choose a case name, add trip details, and later continue through "My Requests". The Travel Assistant does not book the trip for you; it prepares planning help that you can use before booking yourself.

9. Travel Assistant: messages, files, and status

Use "My Requests" to see your Travel Assistant requests. A request can show status updates, specialist messages, questions waiting for your reply, quote or payment steps, and delivered plan materials.

Open the request room to read messages, answer clarifying questions, add information, upload or download files where available, and review the delivered plan. When a specialist or admin needs your next step, the request list can highlight that attention is needed.

10. Travel Assistant: quote, payment, and planning work

Before human planning work continues, Globe2See may prepare a work estimate or quote for you to review. Payment steps are separate from the self-service Budget Tool credit flow and are handled securely through Stripe where enabled.

Customer-facing Travel Assistant pricing is based on the agreed quote or payment step, not on showing internal staff time. You should review the scope, ask questions if needed, and continue only when you are comfortable with the next step.

11. Travel Assistant: receive and use your plan

A delivered Travel Assistant plan may include recommendations, practical notes, links, and files prepared by a human planning specialist. The exact format depends on the request, quote, and planning scope.

Use the delivered materials as planning support. Check current provider details, opening hours, prices, terms, visa or entry requirements, and booking conditions before you buy or reserve anything directly with providers.

12. Prices, estimates, and responsibility

Globe2See is designed to improve planning clarity before booking, but it cannot guarantee exact final prices or availability for every item.

• some prices may be exact provider offers while others are planning estimates
• Budget Tool results can change when providers, dates, availability, exchange rates, or planning inputs change
• Travel Assistant quotes describe the human-supported planning work, not a package-tour booking
• Globe2See does not book flights, hotels, restaurants, activities, or local services for you
• Globe2See does not replace your own review before you buy or reserve anything
• Globe2See does not promise exact final prices for every item
• Globe2See does not estimate detailed taxi, rideshare, or car-rental pricing inside destinations

13. Billing and invoices

Payments are handled by Stripe, Globe2See's payment partner. Globe2See does not collect or see your payment card details.

• Budget Tool payments can unlock detailed self-service planning features or planning progress according to the current product flow
• Travel Assistant payments follow the accepted quote or payment step for the human-supported request
• Globe2See issues invoices and sends them to your email when payment is confirmed

If a payment screen, invoice, or billing status looks wrong, use support or feedback and include the request or plan context if available.

14. Feedback and support

Use "Send feedback" when you want to report an issue, suggest an improvement, or describe what was confusing. If an error popup includes an error code or incident ID, include those details in your message.

Use the Support page for help with access, account, payment, invoice, planning, or Travel Assistant questions. For Travel Assistant request-specific questions, the request room is usually the best place to keep the conversation connected to the case.

15. Good practice before you book

Use Globe2See as preparation before booking: compare the plan, check provider pages, confirm current prices and availability, review route feasibility, and make sure the trip still fits your budget and expectations.

For important matters such as visas, entry rules, health requirements, safety advice, insurance, accessibility, and provider terms, check official and provider sources directly before you commit.
