Travel Guide Maker

Make a travel guide people can use.

People keep asking you where to eat. Turn the answer into a ranked guide with photos, addresses, and a map, then publish one link, so the next person who asks gets an answer you wrote once. Whoever opens it can copy your places into their own trip.

What you get back

My Austin food list

A guide is a ranked list with a map attached. Each entry carries your note and an address a reader can open in Maps:

  • Franklin Barbecue Go on a weekday, in line by 9:30
  • Veracruz All Natural Migas taco, the trailer on Cesar Chavez
  • Uchi Book three weeks out, sit at the bar
  • Suerte The masa is the reason, get the suadero
  • Loro Smoked meat and Thai, best patio on South Lamar

How it works

Three steps, start to map

1

Add your places

Type them, paste a list, or import a post you already made. Each one picks up a photo and an address, so the guide looks finished before you write a word.

2

Write the notes

The note is the whole value. What to order, when to go, which table to ask for.

3

Publish and share

One public link with a map. It works in a bio, in a newsletter, or as a reply to the friend who asked.

Why Arriv

Why a guide beats a list of names

Every place is findable

Addresses and pins mean a reader can get there without searching the name again.

Readers can take it with them

One tap copies your guide into their trip, where they add their own stops.

Credit stays attached

A guide built from a video or an article keeps a link back to the source.

Updating is one edit

Change a place once, and everyone holding the link sees the current version the next time they open it.

Questions

Frequently asked

How do I make a travel guide to share?
Add your places, write a line on each, and publish. Arriv gives the guide a public link with a ranked list and a map, and readers can copy the whole thing into a trip of their own.
Do people need an account to read it?
No. A published guide opens for anyone with the link, on a phone or a laptop, so a reader can be looking at it ten seconds after you send it.
Can I use it as a link in bio?
Yes. The link is short, it opens fast on mobile, and it shows a map preview when you share it.
Is making a guide free?
Building and publishing a guide costs nothing, so the free tier is enough to put a guide in your bio. Pro adds unlimited saved trips and larger collaborator groups.
