Every trip on this site is a real itinerary produced by Robin, the same planner that runs inside the Hey Robin app, and curated with local experts. None of them is an article written to look like one.
Each page starts as a genuine planning run: a traveler profile (dates, pace, interests, whether there's a car) goes into Robin, and the day-by-day plan that comes out (the stops, the order, the times, the day notes) is what you read here, unedited in substance. When a page says "Robin planned this trip for a couple, balanced pace, mid-June", that is literally the input the plan was generated from.
Robin is built together with real local experts. The landmarks it reaches for come from a curated database spanning 80 countries, graded by people who know the places. Tourism offices, historic sites and destination organisations add the places they would send a friend to through our partner programme, and those places rank alongside Robin's own. The guides Robin gives you on the day are expert-curated for the same reason: they start from what the locals actually recommend.
Restaurants and cafés offered to the planner are real venues verified against OpenStreetMap before planning ever starts, and each finished plan is reviewed against an independent quality check before it is published. A plan that doesn't meet the bar is regenerated, not patched by hand.
The route maps are drawn from the plan's actual coordinates on OpenStreetMap data. Venue photos come only from Wikimedia Commons under free licenses, each credited to its photographer. Where no photograph of the actual place can be verified, we show none. No photo beats a wrong photo.
An itinerary on a website is a starting point; your trip has different dates, a different hotel, maybe kids, maybe a food allergy. The same planner that built the page can rebuild it around you. That's the "Finish this itinerary FREE at Hey Robin" button.
