TouristEye

TouristEye was a travel-planning startup founded in 2009 that offered web and mobile apps for discovering places, saving tips, and planning trips. A 500 Startups (500 Global) portfolio company, it was acquired by Lonely Planet in 2013 and the service was subsequently shut down. The touristeye.com domain remains registered (via GoDaddy Corporate Domains, through October 2026) but no longer resolves, the historical api.touristeye.com host is offline, and the company's GitHub organization has been dormant since 2014 — no public API, SDKs, or developer artifacts remain.

TouristEye is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Travel, Trip Planning, Mobile Apps, and Consumer.
