    NileGuide.com - Your Very Own Customized Travel Guide

    NileGuide touts itself as being the first travel guide made for your needs. The fact is, most travel guides are rather too comprehensive and bulky, and nonspecific for today’s experienced traveler.

    Most people know the types of things they want to do and see before they even board the plane. Nile Guide, thus has taken information from 10+ sources, think Expedia, CitySearch etc. The site also has its own reviews and reports from local experts across the globe. To use it, type in your destination or choose from the drop down menu. There are a number of main categories through which you can select different activities these include See and Do, Food, and Nightlife. There’s a separate section for Lodging. Each category gives you the option to select neighborhoods, preferences, and cost. For instance, if you’ve selected Paris, in the See&Do category you can move the slider to indicate how strenuous the activities should be. You can also narrow the type down by choosing from Arts, History, Nature or Off the beaten path. Once you’ve chosen your activities they can be organized in a day to day schedule. You can then download your customized guide and print it out as a PDF.
