2 out of3 travelers

Two out of three travelers find planning a vacation stressful. They spend hours with dozens of tabs open, only to end up in the same places as everyone else.

You won't be one of them. Enjoy the trip—we'll make sure you end up in the right places.

What Makes Hint Different

A trip is an experience human. Only a human can drive it.

Travel apps show you the most-clicked places. AI gives you the average of what people have read, and sometimes it makes up a place that doesn’t exist. Neither of them has ever been to that city.

Hint does one thing: it connects you with people who live in that city and are most like you in terms of tastes, lifestyles, and travel habits. The places you see on the map were chosen by them. Not because they went viral. Not because an algorithm picked them. But because they actually go there.

Hint is your local friend, no matter where you are in the world

Whoever recommends it to you lives there.

We call them “Hinter”: locals who share stories about the places they actually frequent. Not passing reviewers, not people who’ve been there just once.

No one can pay to be there.

No venue is added to the map simply by paying. Every place is reviewed by our team before it reaches you: if you see it there, it’s there because it deserves to be.

It's your map, not *the* map.

We match you with people who travel just like you. Your map is different from anyone else's because it's tailored to the way you travel.

Here's how it works

Not just another travel app. The only one that really finds what you're looking for.

  1. 01Two minutes

    Tell us about yourself

    Your travel style, your pace, what you like best. No endless forms: it's more like a game than a questionnaire.

  2. 02

    We'll match you with someone like you

    In every city, we work with locals. We match you with people who experience the city the way you would.

  3. 03In the app

    See the city through their eyes

    Open the app and the map is all yours: the real spots your friends go to, in the words of the people who actually go there. Right around you, as you walk.

That's it.No study guides to go over, no plans to make the night before.
Why in our app

Your map is alive in the Hint app.

Not just a list of places to save somewhere and then forget about. A map that moves with you, changes with the city, and answers your questions when you have them.

  • Places Near You

    Open the map and see the locations of your Hinter friends around you as you walk. No need to scroll through lists.

  • What People Who Go There Say

    Every place has a note from someone who actually goes there: why they go, what to get, and when to go.

  • It updates itself

    New places are added, and closed ones are removed. Your map stays up to date without you having to do anything.

  • Scout, your travel buddy

    Have a quick question? Message Scout in chat: it'll connect you with the local experts best suited for you, right when you need them.

  • The City's Community

    For every destination, there's a community of travelers just like you: ask questions, compare options, and find travel companions.

  • One app, all cities

    Tokyo, Rome, Seoul: All your maps in one place, even when you change countries.

Side by side

You can ask an AI. Or someone who lives there.

Same question, two answers. One comes from the internet, the other from someone who lives in that city today.

Who's Behind It

Hint: We built it by putting people first, one city at a time.

There’s a reason why, on vacation, you always end up in the same places as everyone else: everyone looks in the same places and finds the same things. The most valuable thing you can have while traveling isn’t a business-class flight—it’s a friend who lives there. Hint was created to give you that in every city, right on your phone.

More than 3,000 travelers have already bought a Hint map. We want to change the world of travel, and we'd love to do it together with you.
