Family reunions · Friends’ trips · Milestone trips

Tell us your dream trip. Vetted agencies compete to plan it.

Share one trip brief. Up to three vetted, licensed or accredited travel agencies aim to send tailored proposals within 48 hours. We compare them side by side, on fit, not price alone.

Travelers pay nothing to WanderBids; agencies set their own prices.

Where we’re starting

Our pilot is planned to open in November 2026 for Manila to Japan and Singapore to Korea.

Going somewhere else? When trip briefs open, send yours anyway. If your route isn’t covered yet, we may match you with one agency, add your request to a waitlist, or let you know we can’t help this time.

One brief instead of many conversations

  • One brief, told once.

    Where, when, who’s coming, your budget and your must-haves. Claude, the AI model we use, organizes your answers into a clear brief that agencies can quote from, and a team member checks it.

  • Up to three vetted, licensed or accredited agencies.

    Every agency holds a licence or accreditation where it operates and passes our checks before it receives a request.

  • Agencies aim to reply within 48 hours.

    Matched agencies aim to send you a tailored proposal within 48 hours of receiving your brief.

  • Compared like for like.

    Each proposal goes on a comparison card: price per person, what’s included, hotels, flights, deposit and cancellation terms. Compared on fit, not price alone.

  • You book with the agency.

    The agency you choose sells you the trip, books it and looks after it, under its own terms. WanderBids introduces, matches and compares.

  • Nothing to pay WanderBids.

    Travelers pay nothing to WanderBids; agencies set their own prices. You never have to accept a proposal.

How it works

  1. Share your trip brief.

    Answer a few questions: where, when, who’s coming and your budget. Already have a plan from ChatGPT or Claude? Paste it in.

  2. Get up to three proposals.

    Vetted agencies who know your destination aim to send tailored itineraries within 48 hours. We compare them side by side, so you see exactly what’s included.

  3. Choose, then book with the agency.

    Pick the proposal that fits and book directly with that agency, under its terms. Or don’t: you never have to accept a proposal.

Built for trips with a lot of moving parts

  • Private group and milestone trips.

    Family reunions, friends’ trips, big birthdays and anniversaries. Tell us about everyone, from kids to grandparents, and agencies plan around all of you.

  • Honeymoon and luxury.

    Compare tailored proposals for the stays and experiences you have in mind, from agencies that specialize in them.

  • Tailor-made trips.

    Your route, your pace, your style. Agencies build the itinerary around your brief, not a fixed package.

Just need a flight and a hotel? There are quicker ways to book those. WanderBids is for trips where an experienced agency makes the difference.

Compare side by side

See what’s really included, not just the price

Proposals rarely arrive in the same shape. Claude reads each one, lays out the facts on a comparison card and explains the trade-offs in plain words. A team member checks it against the proposals before we send it to you. Every price comes from the agency, and the agency signs it off.

  • Price per person and total
  • What’s included
  • What’s not included
  • Hotels
  • Flights
  • Deposit and balance due
  • Cancellation terms
  • How long the price is valid

AI-drafted, checked by our team

Illustrative example, not a real proposal

Proposal B costs less, but it leaves out airport transfers and departs at 6:10 am. Proposal A costs more and includes transfers, wheelchair support for a grandparent and a 9:40 am flight. You see both, side by side, and you decide.

Trust and safety, in plain words

  • Vetted, licensed or accredited agencies.

    Licence or accreditation, business registration, references and a test brief before an agency receives any request.

  • You book with the agency.

    The agency you choose sells and books your trip under its own terms. This website takes no payments or deposits.

  • AI with people in charge.

    Claude helps organize briefs and compare proposals. People choose the agencies, and agencies sign off every price.

  • Shared only with your OK.

    Your matched agencies receive your brief and contact details only if you tick the box that lets us share them.

Questions travelers ask first

Does WanderBids cost anything for travelers?

No. Travelers pay nothing to WanderBids; agencies set their own prices. You pay the agency for the trip you choose, and you don’t have to accept any proposal. WanderBids is paid by agencies, not travelers: our planned agency plans include a success fee on bookings won through WanderBids.

Who are the agencies?

Independent travel agencies that are licensed or accredited where they operate and that we’ve vetted. We check their licence or accreditation, business registration and references, and send them a test brief. We match each trip with agencies that know the destination and the kind of trip you’re planning, and we’ll tell you which agencies received your brief. You can ask us which body licenses or accredits any agency matched to your trip.

What if I don’t like any of the proposals?

You don’t have to accept any of them, and you pay nothing to WanderBids either way. You can ask the agencies questions, tell us what’s missing, or simply decide not to go ahead.

Is my budget shared?

Yes, with your matched agencies only, so they can tailor their proposals. We share your brief, including your budget, only if you tick the box that lets us, and we never publish it or show it to other travelers.

Which cities and routes are open?

Our pilot is planned to open in November 2026 on two routes: Manila to Japan (private groups and family reunions) and Singapore to Korea (private groups). Both are planned to open fully in January 2027. Next, we’re planning Auckland to Bali (honeymoon and luxury) in April 2027 and Toronto to Philippines (family and diaspora trips) in June 2027.

Planning something else? When trip briefs open, send yours anyway. If your route isn’t covered yet, we may match you with one agency, add your request to a waitlist, or let you know we can’t help this time.
