    The paper discusses a tour guide mobile application which uses cloud computing, machine learning and Augmented Reality (AR) to give the user an amazing experience on tourism. This application would guide users through an appropriate route to a traveler's destination while suggesting recommended attractions through the route. Tourists would also be given the opportunity to listen to a narration about certain monuments while they are walking or driving through the suggested route. Additionally, one from the available two of the AR features can be useful when a tourist wants to find which direction a certain attraction is. This feature would be especially useful on a high vantage point allowing the user to enjoy several attractions from the same place all the while receiving interesting facts about them. Also, it would contain various details about that said attraction. Other feature of AR is on 3D object modelling that helps the user to get the experience of Point of Interest (POI).
