Three days in Miami, a budget of 1,200 dollars and zero desire to waste time between open Chrome tabs on Tripadvisor, Google Maps, and dozens of contradictory blogs. It is in this context that I decided to test Secret World AI Trip Planner to organize my trip to Florida. I had heard about Wanderlog as a planning tool, but I wanted something that really thought, not just something that spat out lists of famous places.
What I found surprised me enough to use it for six consecutive months, on very different destinations. But let's start from the beginning: Miami, July 2025, perceived temperature of 38 degrees and an itinerary to build from scratch.
What I asked the AI and what it replied
I opened Secret World and wrote a very specific request: three days in Miami with a medium budget, interest in art, Art Deco architecture, and authentic local cuisine, avoiding the tourist traps of Ocean Drive. In less than forty seconds, the AI generated a structured itinerary that did not start from South Beach, but from Wynwood Walls — about 6 km from my hotel in Brickell — suggesting to arrive there early in the morning to avoid the crowd and the worst heat. Free entry to the mural district, estimated visit 90 minutes.
For lunch, the AI suggested Versailles Restaurant in Little Havana, not a made-up place but an institution on SW 8th Street with Cuban dishes under 15 dollars. I asked for more information about the Art Deco district of Miami Beach and received a detailed explanation with specific blocks to walk between Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive, the guided tour of the Miami Design Preservation League (20 dollars per person), and the best time to photograph the pastel facades without backlight. I have never seen this level of detail on Wanderlog.
The complete itinerary: distances, times, and real logistics
The final plan covered three days in a geographically coherent manner — an aspect that Wanderlog often overlooks, placing distant attractions in the same time block. Secret World instead grouped visits by area: day one entirely in Wynwood and the Design District (walking or using Citi Bike, about 2 dollars per ride), day two in Miami Beach with the Art Deco tour and the Pérez Art Museum Miami in the afternoon (admission 16 dollars), day three in Coral Gables and Coconut Grove.
I tested the logistics on the ground and it worked. The distance between Wynwood Walls and the Design District is about 1.5 km on foot — manageable even in the heat if you start before 9:30. The PAMM closes at 6:00 PM and the AI had alerted me, preventing me from arriving too late as had happened on a previous manually organized trip. Every suggestion had a concrete reason, it wasn't just a random list.
Honest comparison with Wanderlog and other tools
I have used Wanderlog in the past and continue to acknowledge its merits: the interface for saving links is convenient, the integrated map is useful for visualizing the stops, and the collaboration feature with other travelers works well. But the AI component of Wanderlog in 2026 remains rather superficial: it generates generic itineraries that you could find in any travel guide, without really adapting to your preferences or local logistics.
Secret World works differently. It responds to follow-up questions, adjusts the itinerary if you change a parameter, and — something I really appreciated in Miami — it understands the difference between a tourist who wants a photo with the palm trees and one who is looking for Café La Trova to hear live Cuban music without paying a cover charge. ChatGPT can do similar things but requires very elaborate prompts and does not have a structure designed for travel. Google Trips has been dead for years. Secret World occupies a specific space and does it well.
The final vote and why it is 9 out of 10
After six months of use in Miami, Lisbon, Tokyo, and Barcelona, my rating for Secret World AI Trip Planner is 9 out of 10. The missing point concerns two limitations still present: it does not integrate direct booking of hotels and restaurants (you have to leave the platform), and occasionally suggests places that have closed in previous months — a data update problem I encountered with a bar in Coconut Grove that is no longer active. Nothing serious, but it needs improvement.
Everything else works as a smart travel assistant should in 2026: it responds in Italian, thinks about logistics, knows real prices, and does not send you across the city for an aperitif. If you are planning a trip to Miami or any other city and want to stop wasting hours on Wanderlog and Google, try Secret World for free at secretworld.ai and build your first itinerary in five minutes. You will notice the difference immediately.
