STAMFORD, Conn., Nov. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- You've picked your destination, booked your flights and have your calendar marked. But then comes the most daunting task of all: mapping out your perfect itinerary.

KAYAK Guides is a new feature that allows users to create and share personalized travel itineraries with friends, family and fellow travelers. With KAYAK Guides, you can:

Keep track of memorable places and add notes during your trip (to remind you later that that macadamia nut latte was, in fact, worth the detour)
Create visual, custom travel itineraries and plan your activities using an interactive map
Share your travel experiences with friends and family when you get home

"We wanted to make personalizing your travel recommendations more visual and interactive, so we built our own solution: KAYAK Guides," said Vanessa Kafka, KAYAK's VP of Product. "This is only the beginning for Guides - in the near future, travelers will be able to search within Guides for specific locations, themes and more."

Visit KAYAK.com, create a user profile and head to "Your Guides" to start building your KAYAK Guide and then share it with your friends and family.
