Google City Tours
Google Labs is where you’ll find all the latest experimental features of the search giant. The latest lab is Google City Tours and looks like it may turn out be a handy travel planning resource.
Google explains that the city tours
helps you identify points of interest and plan multi-day trips to most major cities. You just specify the location of your hotel and the length of your trip and City Tours will map out an itinerary for you
Pretty neat. Its available for a good number of cities but at the moment doesn’t go into that much detail or have too many places of interest to tour. What would be great would be some more details from wikipedia and pictures from flickr as the Google OS blog suggests. Give it a go here.

Net.. I think its a nice feature for travelers.. it would be more useful when it has tours of all the major cities in the world together with suggestion from travelers with photos on it and mini info of the place.
