And the crowd has a lot more wisdom to offer in the future. For example, we noticed that visits to Buckingham Palace spike around 11:30 and stay a bit longer than at other times of the day. This seemed a little strange to us, but when we looked more closely, it turns out to be the time of the Changing of the Guard. We’re looking now at ways to incorporate this type of timing information into the itinerary selection algorithms.
Have this one for free: I recall visiting Wat Po one evening an hour before closing around sunset. Not only was it unbelievably peaceful and quiet, the guards let us in for free.
Love the idea of Google Trips, but it misses the point and beauty of travelling serendipity ... which is arguably the most valuable part of travel. To freely explore and discover. (Edit: accepted, those on a very tight schedule would appreciate this.)
Otherwise travel is just a to-do list. Like work. Or an alt-pokemon-go experience. Maybe I'm being unfair.
