An itinerary built around you, not around who pays the planner.
We're the Staches, the obsessive researchers behind Wandering Mustache. We've spent years building trips the hard way: forty-seven open tabs, a map with a few hundred pins, and a running list of our own expensive mistakes.
ai-tinerary is that process, taught to a machine. You tell it who's traveling and why. It does the research, checks it against official sources and our own maps, and hands you a day-by-day plan with every link going straight to the hotel, restaurant or ticket office.
It is not a travel agent. It won't steer you toward whatever pays best, and it won't pretend a place is wonderful because it's popular.
You answer the questions. The machine does the homework.
Dates, budget, and a card for each traveler: why they travel, how they spend, how they plan, what they must see, and what they'd rather skip entirely. Everyone can fill in their own card from their own phone.
Not sure what type you are? Take the Wandering Mustache traveler quiz (opens in a new tab) first. It's optional, and a little rude.
It researches sights, prices, seasons and opening days, then checks your must-dos against each other and against the calendar. The Louvre closes on Tuesdays; it knows.
A day-by-day itinerary with a stamp on every place, so you know how much to trust it:
Every link goes to the vendor's own site. No booking platforms skimming the middle, no resold "private tour" at five times the ticket price. Change anything, rebuild, and it's yours.
The flaw: it's AI. Now and then it will suggest a restaurant that closed in March. That's what the stamps are for. Trust the Stached places most and double-check the AI-ed ones.
Want to see one? Two honeymoons, one Paris: same city, same four days, two couples who would hate each other's trip.
The short answer: never the place we're recommending.
