URBANwalks
Intro
Walking tours are a great way to explore any city. Unfortunately, guided tours are often expensive and require that you stick with the group and your guide, with little to no time to do your own exploring. Urban Walks gives users an easy and convenient way to explore while they travel, giving you the ability to take a tour at their own pace for just a few dollars.

Problem
01. Most of the travel apps available today are geared towards flight and hotel booking.
02. Importance of walking tours is lost because of the notion that you cannot cover all places while walking.
03. No customizable option for the user. Usually pre-set tours are provided on travel apps.
Solution
Using machine learning and AI technologies to give users an easy and convenient way to explore a city when traveling. The user should be able to reconfigure their own walking tours with very little friction.
