Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions that matter when you are deciding whether an itinerary, budget, or family-travel recommendation will work for you.
Are these guides based on trips you actually took?
Yes. Every destination guide on Three Suitcases comes from a trip our family took. We separate what happened to us from information that can change, such as entry rules, prices, opening hours, and transport schedules.
Can I use your day-by-day itinerary for my own trip?
Yes. Use it as a tested route and pacing reference, then adjust it for your child's age, sleep pattern, mobility, interests, and your travel dates. Recheck live opening hours, booking requirements, fares, and entry rules before you commit.
How current are the costs in each guide?
They are the amounts we recorded for the trip date shown, not live quotes. They are useful for seeing the scale and shape of a family budget, but exchange rates, seasonal pricing, child fares, and booking choices can change the total. Check current prices before booking.
What age was your child on these trips?
Each guide shows our child's age at the time of that trip. That context matters: an itinerary that worked at three may need a different pace, transport plan, or set of activities for a baby or an older child.
Do the guides cover practical toddler logistics?
Where we encountered them, yes. We call out pacing, pushchair or walking friction, changing facilities, food, long transfers, late days, and the activities that were easier or harder with our child. We do not pretend one family's experience is a guarantee for every age or need.
How do you handle vegetarian food or other dietary needs?
We report what we found as a vegetarian family and flag where advance research helped or where ordering was difficult. Ingredients and restaurant menus change, so contact a restaurant directly for allergies or strict dietary requirements rather than relying on a travel guide alone.
Can I rely on the visa and entry information?
Use it as a prompt, not as permission to travel. Entry rules depend on nationality, passport, trip purpose, and date, and they can change quickly. We link to official sources where practical; always verify the rules that apply to your family before booking and again before departure.
Do affiliate links affect what you recommend?
No. We add affiliate links only around relevant editorial content, mark them as advertising, and may earn a commission if you book after clicking. The itinerary and verdict are based on our experience; a commercial relationship does not buy a positive recommendation.
How often do you publish new guides?
When a trip has been fully checked rather than on a fixed weekly schedule. The newsletter is the simplest way to hear when a new guide is published; it is for trip updates, not daily email.
Can I suggest a correction or ask a question?
Yes. Email us through the Contact page with the page URL and, for a correction, the official or first-hand source that supports it. We review useful corrections and update the page where appropriate.
