About
TownHop is the AI-powered platform for local discovery, road trip planning, and finding hidden gems — powered by real people, real reviews, and an AI that gets you.
Real reviews from real people — in video, text, and AI-powered summaries.
See the energy, the crowd, the food — in 30-second videos from real visitors. No stock photos, no guessing.
Every business gets an AI-generated 2-3 sentence summary of its reviews. Instantly know what people love (and don't).
Rate food, service, value, cleanliness, and vibe separately. Find places that match what matters most to you.
Tell TownHop who's coming — kids, pets, dietary needs, budget — and our AI builds a personalized road trip with stops you'll actually enjoy.
See your friends' favorite spots along the route. Share your itinerary with the group. And discover the kind of places that turn a drive into a story.
Your friends' taste is better than any algorithm. TownHop is social by design.
See where your friends eat, check in, and what they rate 5 stars.
A feed of friend reviews, check-ins, favorites, and discoveries.
DM friends or jump into chat rooms to plan your next outing.
Check in at businesses to share where you are and earn points.
Write reviews, post video reviews, check in at businesses, and rate places to earn points, climb the leaderboard, and unlock badges.
Our contributor program rewards the people who make TownHop great. The more you share, the more you earn — and the more you help fellow travelers find amazing places.
Save money and find things to do — from happy hour specials to local festivals.
Businesses post deals and you get notified when you're nearby. Favorite a place and never miss their specials.
Browse events near you, RSVP with one tap, and discover what's happening in any city you're visiting.
We'd rather show you a shaky phone video of a packed restaurant than a professionally staged photo of an empty one.
Your friend's recommendation beats an algorithm. That's why you can follow friends, see their favorites on your road trip, and share discoveries.
Finding great places shouldn't cost money. TownHop is free for travelers — always. Every feature, every search, every trip plan.
Our AI trip planner doesn't give generic answers. It knows your preferences, your crew, and what makes a trip great for you.
Every feature below is live. The cards marked "Sign in to" need an account to use; the rest work without one.
