Questions

Before you decide

How is this different from a free blog?

A blog gives you a list, the Codex gives you a decision: what each place is really like, when to go, when to skip it, and how to reach it without a car

Do I need a car?

No, every place comes with how to reach it by train or bus

What if a train time or a road changes?

We update the Travel Scripts and every owner gets the new version, free

Is it a one-time payment?

Yes, and every update is free

I already have the Codex, do I get the new edition?

You already have it, every existing traveller received the update automatically, at no cost

What if it is not for me?

Message us within 14 days and we refund you in full

What language is it in?

The Codex, the Map and the Travel Scripts are in English
