Airbnb tests booking your entire trip with new 'Journeys' service
- 9 years ago
Airbnb is testing a major new offering: taking care of booking your entire trip, so you can experience a new city with locals showing you around.
Over the weekend, Airbnb started sending beta invitations to some users who had searched for accommodation in San Francisco during December but hadn't booked yet: It invited those users to test its new Journeys service which touts "handcrafted trips" to cities around the world, starting with San Francisco, offering adventures in the city organized by Airbnb for a flat fee.
Each Journey offers 'curated excursions' such as hiking to Lands End in San Francisco, or a tour around the Mission district.
On top of that, Airbnb pays for one meal a day while on your pre-organized adventure, a Lyft ride from the airport and Airbnb lodging picked out for you.
