This document provides a comprehensive, step-by-step breakdown of exactly what happens when a user enters a travel query into the Multi-Agent Travel Planning System. Each step includes technical details, data transformations, and system interactions.
Before the workflow begins, the following components must be running:
- Streamlit Web App (
streamlit_travel_app.py
) - Port 8501 - Travel Planner Agent (
travel_planner_agent.py
) - Port 10001 - Hotel Booking Agent (
hotel_booking_agent.py
) - Port 10002 - Car Rental Agent (
car_rental_agent.py
) - Port 10003
User Action: Opens browser and navigates to http://localhost:8501
System Response: Streamlit app loads with travel planning form
User Input Example:
βββ Destination: "Paris, France"
βββ Check-in Date: "2024-06-15"
βββ Check-out Date: "2024-06-20"
βββ Budget Range: "Budget-friendly"
βββ Number of Guests: 2
βββ Car Rental Needed: Yes
βββ Special Preferences: "Near city center"
# Streamlit app validates input

# Budget validation

This detailed workflow provides a complete understanding of how the multi-agent travel planning system processes user queries, from initial input to final response delivery, including all technical details, data transformations, and error handling mechanisms.
If you want to test the agents individually without the A2A protocol, follow this guide:
# Install core dependencies
pip install groq langchain_groq
pip install crewai langgraph langchain-core
pip install fastapi uvicorn pydantic
pip install python-dotenv requests serper-python
Create a .env
file in the travel_planning_system
directory:
GROQ_API_KEY="your_groq_api_key_here"
SERPER_API_KEY="your_serper_api_key_here"
cd travel_planning_system/hotel_booking_agent_crewai
python test_hotel_agent.py
cd travel_planning_system/car_rental_agent_langgraph
python test_car_agent.py
Let me create simple test scripts for each agent:
# test_hotel_agent.py
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from agent import HotelBookingAgent
load_dotenv()
def test_hotel_agent():
agent = HotelBookingAgent()
# Test queries
queries = [
"Find hotels in Paris for next week",
"Book a hotel in Tokyo for 3 nights",
"What are the best hotels in New York?"
]
for query in queries:
print(f"\n--- Testing: {query} ---")
try:
response = agent.invoke(query)
print(f"Response: {response}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error: {e}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
test_hotel_agent()
# test_car_agent.py
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from app.agent import CarRentalAgent
load_dotenv()
def test_car_agent():
agent = CarRentalAgent()
# Test queries
queries = [
"Find car rentals in Paris for next week",
"Book a luxury car in Tokyo for 3 days",
"What are the cheapest car rental options in New York?"
]
for query in queries:
print(f"\n--- Testing: {query} ---")
try:
response = agent.invoke(query, "test_context")
print(f"Response: {response}")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Error: {e}")
if __name__ == "__main__":
test_car_agent()
# Test Hotel Agent
cd travel_planning_system/hotel_booking_agent_crewai
python test_hotel_agent.py
# Test Car Rental Agent
cd ../car_rental_agent_langgraph
python test_car_agent.py
You should see responses from each agent using Groq Llama-3 70B, including:
- Hotel search results with SerperAPI data
- Car rental options with pricing information
- Booking confirmations
Once individual agents work, you can:
- Install a2a-sdk for full multi-agent coordination
- Run the complete system with A2A protocol
- Test the Travel Planner Agent orchestration

# Navigate to the travel planning system directory
cd travel_planning_system
# Option 1: Use the automated installation script (Recommended)
python install_dependencies.py
# Option 2: Use the Windows batch script
install_dependencies.bat
# Option 3: Manual installation (if above methods fail)
# For each agent directory, run:
pip install python-dotenv requests fastapi uvicorn pydantic groq
pip install langchain>=0.2.0 langchain-core>=0.3.0 langchain-community>=0.2.0 langchain-groq>=0.3.0
# Then install agent-specific dependencies (see individual agent sections below)
Create .env
files in each agent directory:
Car Rental Agent (car_rental_agent_langgraph/.env
):
GROQ_API_KEY=your_groq_api_key_here
SERPER_API_KEY=your_serper_api_key_here
Hotel Booking Agent (hotel_booking_agent_crewai/.env
):
GROQ_API_KEY=your_groq_api_key_here
SERPER_API_KEY=your_serper_api_key_here
Travel Planner Agent (travel_planner_agent_adk/.env
):
GROQ_API_KEY=your_groq_api_key_here
GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_google_api_key_here
SERPER_API_KEY=your_serper_api_key_here
cd car_rental_agent_langgraph
python app/simple_executor.py
cd hotel_booking_agent_crewai
python simple_executor.py
cd travel_planner_agent_adk
python simple_executor.py
# Start the hotel booking agent
cd hotel_booking_agent_crewai
python app/__main__.py
# In another terminal, start the car rental agent
cd car_rental_agent_langgraph
python app/__main__.py
# In a third terminal, start the travel planner agent
cd travel_planner_agent_adk
python simple_executor.py
If you encounter dependency conflicts:
- Use the automated installation script:
python install_dependencies.py
- Or manually install with
--force-reinstall
flag:pip install --force-reinstall langchain>=0.2.0 langchain-core>=0.3.0
If you get "No module named 'uvicorn'" errors:
- Ensure you're in the correct virtual environment
- Install uvicorn:
pip install uvicorn
- Check that all dependencies are installed:
pip list
- Verify all API keys are correctly set in
.env
files - Ensure no extra spaces or quotes around the API keys
- Test API keys individually using the simple executors

- Check the troubleshooting section above
- Verify all dependencies are correctly installed
- Ensure API keys are valid and properly configured
- Test individual agents before running the full system
