Every time you plan a trip, it’s the same story: several tabs open, comparisons that never end, doubts about whether you’re choosing well, and the feeling that you’re forgetting something. The team at Civitatis loves to travel too, so that feeling is a familiar one.

Plan your trip with ChatGPT

Get inspired and fill your cart. Your final purchase happens on Civitatis.

First time? Connect Civitatis to ChatGPT so it can search and book for you.

Connect Civitatis to ChatGPT

That process just changed. Civitatis is now available in ChatGPT and Claude, two of the world’s most popular AI assistants, which means you can go from a first travel idea to activities picked out for your whole itinerary in no time. You can also add them to your cart without leaving a single conversation. Tell the chatbot where and when you’re going, how many people you’re traveling with, and what you fancy getting up to. From there you’ll be able to see what’s available and plan your trip right from the chat.

From Idea to Cart: How the Civitatis Plugin Works in ChatGPT

Say you’re thinking about a weekend in San Sebastian. Before, that meant opening several websites, comparing options, second-guessing yourself, closing tabs and starting over. Now you simply ask: “@Civitatis Plan a weekend in San Sebastian for two people next weekend.” Heading to Rome? Just type “@Civitatis best tours in Rome” or “@Civitatis Colosseum tickets.” The assistant checks the Civitatis catalog for Rome in real time, suggests activities based on availability and, if something catches your eye, adds it to your cart on the spot.

You complete the booking on the Civitatis website, where you pay securely. There are no middlemen, no surprises, and no need to repeat your preferences anywhere else.

What Can the Civitatis Connector Do?

If you want to… You can ask The assistant…
Check availability Is the Colosseum tour available on Saturday? Checks in real time whether there are spots for that date
Get all the details How much does the Vatican tour cost? Can the Royal Palace visit be canceled? What does the Cinque Terre trip include? Shows the full description, price, cancellation policy and reviews from other travelers
Plan several days Build a 3-day itinerary in Rome for two people Creates a day-by-day plan with recommended activities from the Civitatis catalog
Book an activity Book a tour to the third floor of the Eiffel Tower Adds the activity to your cart and gives you a direct link to pay on Civitatis

How to Connect Civitatis to ChatGPT

Setup takes about 30 seconds, and you only need to do it once. Open the Plugin Directory at chatgpt.com/plugins, or reach it from the sidebar or through Settings and then Plugins. It works the same way in your browser and in the ChatGPT desktop app.

Search for Civitatis, open the listing and select Connect. You’ll see a screen with the permissions it needs, and once you approve them, you’re all set. From then on, you can bring it into any conversation by typing ‘@Civitatis’, or by tapping the plus button and choosing More. ChatGPT will often suggest it on its own when you ask what to do somewhere.

If the Connect button looks grayed out, it’s usually down to your region, your plan or, on a work account, your admin settings. The listing usually tells you which one applies.

How Booking with an AI Travel Planner Changes Things

To understand what’s changed, just compare how you used to plan with how you can plan a trip with AI now.

What Changes with the Civitatis Connector?
Situation Before Now with Civitatis + AI
Finding things to do Browsing the pages of each city or country you’re visiting to see the list of activities One question to the assistant, with real options from the Civitatis catalog
Checking availability Opening each activity, picking a date and seeing if any spots are left Share your travel dates and the assistant checks real-time availability while you chat
Plans for every traveler Generic searches that ignore who’s traveling and when The AI filters by profile: couple, family, dates, type of experience
Destination inspiration Travel guides, forums and articles that aren’t always up to date Still choosing? Ask open questions like “Where to go in October?” or “Cheap trip ideas for November?”
Adding to cart Leaving your search, going to the website and repeating the process Straight from the chat, without switching screens. Add several activities during the conversation and pay once at the end

What You Can Ask: Real Examples

The connector doesn’t need special commands. Tell @Civitatis what you’re looking for the way you’d tell a travel agent or someone who knows the destination well, and it takes care of the rest. These kinds of requests work especially well for organizing your trip.

Romantic getaway in Mallorca. You’ll see specific activities and open dates for a couples’ trip that mixes hidden coves, charming villages, a boat outing and a sunset over the island of Mallorca.

What to do today in Barcelona. You’ll get a list of real activities in Barcelona suited to the day, without wasting time checking what’s open.

5-day trip to Marrakech. If you’ve already picked the destination and the number of days, just ask and you’ll get the best plans organized around your itinerary.

Things to do with kids in Valencia. You’ll see experiences made for the whole family, without filtering through dozens of irrelevant results.

Where to go in Spain in October? Expect destinations with plenty going on, good weather and open availability for those dates. If you don’t like the city it suggests, say so and you’ll see other options.

Christmas in Madrid. Markets, shows and special seasonal visits across things to do in Madrid.

A different New Year’s Eve. You’ll find ideas beyond the usual, tailored to what you want that year. Activities with no availability, or whose calendar isn’t open yet, won’t show up.

Budget-friendly experiences. Affordable destinations and activities that don’t skimp on the experience itself.

The best part? You don’t need the perfect prompt. The AI understands context, so if you change your mind, add details or say an option isn’t for you, it adjusts its suggestions on the fly. That’s exactly how a good conversation about travel works.

What About Gemini?

The integration with Gemini (Google) is also ready on the Civitatis side. The technology has already passed compatibility testing, but switching it on depends on Google expanding its partner program to Europe, Latin America and other markets. As soon as that happens, the Civitatis catalog will be available in Google’s assistant too. One infrastructure, three platforms.

Start Planning Your Next Trip

If you already use ChatGPT or Claude for other tasks, you have everything you need. Open it and tell @Civitatis where you want to go, who you’re traveling with, your dates and the kind of experience you’re after. Tours, day trips, activities and experiences in hundreds of destinations are on the other side of the conversation, with real availability and ready to book.

Haven’t picked a destination yet? Your new AI travel planner helps with that too. Once you’ve decided, Civitatis’s full catalog of the best activities in English all over the world takes care of the rest.

Still Have Questions?

Is Civitatis Available in ChatGPT and Claude?

Yes. Civitatis is built into ChatGPT and Claude, two of the world’s most popular AI assistants. You can search for activities, check real-time availability and add them to your cart without leaving the conversation.

Is the Information from the AI Reliable?

All the information comes directly from the Civitatis catalog, so there should be no made-up activity data. Prices, availability, cancellation policies, and reviews are checked in real time.

What Can You Ask the Civitatis Connector?

Almost anything related to your trip. You can search for activities by destination, date or type of plan, check whether spots are available, see the details and price of an activity, build a multi-day itinerary, or add activities to your cart to book later on the Civitatis website.

How Do You Complete a Booking?

Choosing activities and filling your cart happen in the chat. The final payment takes place on the Civitatis website, securely and with no middlemen.

How Do You Connect Civitatis to ChatGPT?

Go to the Plugin Directory at chatgpt.com/plugins (you can also get there from the sidebar or through Settings and then Plugins), search for Civitatis, select Connect and accept the permissions. Setup takes about 30 seconds and you only do it once. From then on, you can call it up by typing @Civitatis in any conversation.

Why Is the Connect Button Grayed Out?

It can come down to your region, your subscription plan or, if you use a work account, your admin’s settings. The listing itself usually tells you the reason.

Do You Need to Phrase Your Question a Certain Way?

No. Tell @Civitatis what you’re looking for in your own words, just as you would with a travel agent. If you change your mind or add details along the way, the assistant adjusts its suggestions on the fly.

Can You Use Civitatis Before Picking a Destination?

Yes. Ask open questions like “Where to go in October?” or “Cheap trip ideas for November?” and the assistant will help you choose a destination before suggesting activities.

Will Civitatis Be Available in Gemini?

The technical integration with Gemini (Google) is already ready on the Civitatis side. Activation depends on Google expanding its partner program to Europe, Latin America and other markets. As soon as that happens, the Civitatis catalog will be available in Google’s assistant too.

Do You Need a New Account to Use Civitatis with AI?

No. If you already use ChatGPT or Claude, you only need to connect Civitatis once. The final booking is completed on the Civitatis website with your usual account.
