How to use this travel itinerary template in Google Docs
- 01
Copy the template to your Google Drive
Press "Copy to my Google Docs". Google asks to make a copy, and the copy is yours to edit; the original is never changed. All you need is a free Google account.
- 02
Replace the placeholders with your details
Text in double braces, like {{trip.name}}, marks where your own values go. Work down the page: cover with the trip name, dates and traveller; at-a-glance summary of the days; day heading for each day, and so on.
- 03
Make it match your brand
Swap the logo, colours and fonts in Google Docs as you would in any document. The layout is built to hold when the text changes.
- 04
Download it as a PDF, or share the link
File, then Download, then PDF Document gives you a file to send or print. Download as Word (.docx) works too if someone needs it.
- 05
Making these regularly? Fill it from your data
Connect Airtable, Google Sheets or a CSV to SourceToDocs and it fills a copy of this template for every row, so you stop retyping.
A multi-day itinerary is the document that tells one person where to be, in order, for several days running. Everything about it is variable: the number of days, how full each one is, whether there are transfers, and which parts apply to which traveller. That is why it is a Google Doc — days and activity tables grow with the plan, and pages break themselves.
What to include in a travel itinerary
| Section | What to write | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Trip header | Trip name, dates, who it is for | Lisbon offsite · 12–15 May · Dana Whitfield |
| Day heading | Weekday and date, one per day | Tuesday 13 May |
| Timed activities | Start time, what, where | 09:30 · Workshop · Hotel Avenida, room 2 |
| Transfers | How you get between places, and how long it takes | 08:45 taxi from hotel, 20 min |
| Stay | Hotel name, address, booking reference | Hotel Avenida · ref HX-20418 |
| Contacts | Organiser, hotel desk, emergency number | Organiser: +351 … |
How to fill it in for a trip
- Start with the fixed points. Flights, check-in and anything with a ticket go in first; everything else fits around them.
- One line per activity, with a time. “Morning: museum” is not enough when someone is finding it alone. Give a start time and an address.
- Put booking references next to the thing they belong to, not on a separate page. They are what people look for at a desk.
- Leave gaps. An itinerary with no slack is wrong by day two. Thirty minutes between items is a sensible default.
- Send it as a PDF as well as the link, so it opens without signal.
Google Docs or Google Sheets for an itinerary?
Use a Google Doc when the itinerary is something a traveller reads: it prints cleanly, days sit under their own headings and long days simply run on. Use a Google Sheet when you are still planning, comparing costs or sorting options. Many organisers do both: plan in a sheet, then produce the readable Doc from it. That is exactly what the automated version of this template does, one itinerary per trip or per attendee.
One row per activity, then let it group
The itineraries that generate cleanly are backed by a flat schedule: a row per activity with a date, a time, a description, a location and the person or group it belongs to. The template loops days and then activities inside each day, so nothing is maintained twice. Filter that schedule to one traveller and you get their itinerary rather than the master plan, which is what stops people arriving at the wrong session. Keep booking references in the data too; they are the fields most often retyped and most often wrong.
Fill this travel itinerary template from Airtable, Google Sheets or a CSV
Connect an Airtable base, a Google Sheets spreadsheet or a CSV file, map each field to a placeholder, and generate. One run can produce a single document or one per matching row, delivered to your Google Drive.
