Travel Tech Innovator Profile: Pintours

AI-Powered Experiences for Real-World Exploration

Exploring a new city, venue, or attraction often comes with a tradeoff—guided experiences can be enriching, but they are often expensive, difficult to scale, or simply unavailable. Pintours is changing that by making high-quality, guided experiences accessible anytime, anywhere.

Founded by Lou Chatta, Pintours leverages artificial intelligence to power real-life, on-the-ground experiences. The platform enables travel companies, venues, and destinations to offer dynamic, personalized tours without the traditional operational complexity. By combining AI with the knowledge of expert guides and locals, Pintours creates bespoke experiences that adapt in real time to each user.

Inspired by Lou’s background in R&D at Apple’s Special Projects team—and his father’s lifelong career as a tour guide—Pintours brings together cutting-edge technology and deep industry expertise. The platform empowers tour guides to monetize their knowledge while helping businesses across travel, hospitality, and entertainment deliver scalable, high-quality experiences.

Pintours is already working with leading brands across the travel ecosystem, including GetYourGuide, Uber, and global event partners such as World Cup teams and host cities. The company also collaborates with platforms like Plug and Play, Groupon, Yelp, and Headout, alongside partners in attractions, transportation, and events. Its technology is designed to serve a wide range of use cases—from airlines and OTAs to sports venues and dining experiences—unlocking new opportunities for engagement and revenue.

“As a start-up, we’re excited to join Travel Tech’s Start-Up Membership Program to connect with investors and partners who share our vision for the future of experiences,” said Lou Chatta, CEO of Pintours.

With its focus on AI-driven personalization and real-world connection, Pintours is redefining how people discover and engage with experiences around the globe.
