San Francisco, CA:  Parents of the world, start your planning engines! Combining the world’s best trip planning experience with family travel expertise, NileGuide and Ciao Bambino have partnered to launch family travel guides for top U.S. and international destinations on NileGuide.com.

“As parents know, traditional online travel sites have limited useful family-friendly content,” said Amie O’Shaughnessy, founder of Ciao Bambino, an award-winning resource for traveling parents. “Our partnership with NileGuide fills that coverage gap, creating a credible and invaluable travel planning resource for families where broad destination information is merged with family-friendly insight.”

Parents can now plan their next trip based on family-oriented travel guides and trust that all recommendations are travel-tested and written by real parents and experts at Ciao Bambino. In addition, moms and dads can use NileGuide tools to create a custom itinerary from each Ciao Bambino guide by adding other points of interest found on NileGuide.com, and can then schedule it, save it, print, share with friends, and/or download it to an iPhone or iPod Touch as a field reference.

“At NileGuide, we curate the best travel content on the Web,” said Josh Steinitz, CEO. “We’re partnering with Ciao Bambino because Amie and her team have created the most trusted online source for family-friendly travel tips and ideas. We’re excited about the first 13 guides just launched, and are looking forward to adding many more in the near future.”

Ciao Bambino guides are currently available on NileGuide for London, Hong Kong, Sydney, Singapore, Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Washington D.C., Rome, San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles.
