What is the difference between a round-trip and a circle trip?

A round-trip is a journey that returns to the city where it began, without additional stopovers. Thus, the ultimate destination is the originating city, with the same route used going and coming. A circle trip is like a round-trip except that the route on the return trip differs from the route on the outgoing trip.
