Travel Solution: Google's City Tours

Trip planning is an art. But it’s also very personal. While some travelers plan every second in hopes of seeing & experiencing it all, others don’t plan at all and parachute in with their passion for spontaneous exploration. The travel industry, knowing this, has developed every kind of travel guide possible for every kind of potential traveler. But if Google plays their cards right, few travel guides will be able to meet the customization and accessibility of their latest project – City Tours.

As Google describes it, City Tours helps the user “identify points of interest and plan multi-day trips to most major cities throughout the world.” Currently it’s still in beta and fairly limited, but we’re excited to see where this goes. With Google’s suggested sights, the ability to manually enter your own points of interest and view refinements like distance & time, this is a very functional tool for users planning a trip – no matter what your trip planning disposition may be, packed days or leisurely finds.
