Like no other travel guidebooks
Insight-filled, image-rich digital guides to the world’s greatest cultural sites
Since 2009, Trip Reads have been the ultimate resource for curious travelers. With a portfolio of digital guides and mobile applications that offer expert insights, context and on-location intelligence, we’ve reimagined the way travelers explore their destination, connect with the local culture and experience the world.
“We founded the company on the belief that knowing more about a destination enables richer travel experiences. And the desire to create a trusted travel resource — one that breaks from the pervasive “top 10” and “best of” lists to communicate the essence of a place — shapes all of our products.”

Praise for Trip Reads
“Compulsive (and compulsively informed) travelers, the Raezers are the masterminds behind the downloadable Trip Reads, which are filled with a university course-worth of history and insights for 62 destinations worldwide.

“What started as one couple’s travel notes aimed at filling in the gaps in guidebooks has become Trip Reads — a menu of downloadable travel guides that cover cultural and historical topics of interest to thoughtful travelers.
What’s hot: Bite-sized travel guides that specialize in topics ranging from the foods of Italy to one that helps you explore the historical and architectural significance of Angkor’s famous temple structures in Cambodia.”
