In Episode 6 of the “9 Free AI Tools to Attract High-Value Visitors” series, we review one of the most practical tools in the entire framework: the Self-Guided Tour Creator AI — built to help you create real, walkable, time-logical itineraries your visitors can use on the ground once they’re already in your destination.
This tool sits in the “content” phase of the framework, but unlike inspirational blog articles, this is utility content: self-guided walking tours that improve the visitor experience, reduce friction, and help your destination deliver more value while people are there.
In this walkthrough you’ll see how the AI:
Starts with a destination prompt (example: Cuenca, Ecuador) and a defined target market (example: German visitors aged 25–50, culture + nature + local life)
Lets you choose between a pure walking route or a route that includes short transport
Builds a realistic route with space/time logic: stop sequence, walking times, visit durations, and total tour length
Writes engaging descriptions for each stop (and lets you refine tone, style, and format as you go)
Generates a title + short platform-ready tour description you can paste into a brochure, app, website, or tour platform
Optionally creates a quiz to add interactivity and engagement
Finds Creative Commons licensed images for each stop (with source links)
Translates the whole tour into simple, friendly German (or any language), and can even add practical info at the top of each stop: address, time to visit, next stop, and walking time
By the end you’ll have a complete self-guided tour you can publish as:
a web page
a PDF handout
a tour-platform listing
a destination app experience
content your staff can reuse in visitor support
