Visit A City Reviews

by Little Gude

I made plans for a trip to Barcelona. The night before I’m to leave they completed an update. This deleted only my Barcelona plans and they could not be recovered. I have food allergies and am staying in 2 different hotels. I am redoing my entire 5 day plan and find that I cannot add restaurants twice anymore. I also cannot change/add a different hotel to multiple days. There is no override or way around it that I can find. There may be a way but this occurred at 4:00 PM and I am leaving for the airport at 3:00 AM so I honestly just do not have time to figure it out again. I had used VisitACity before and thought it was fantastic but I’m upset and disappointed with the new layout and limitations as well as the surprise of the lack of carryover from my plans that I had arranged.

So much potential, but not there yet. I love the concept of creating my own tour, but until the ability to EASILY add sites that are not on their preloaded lists (current method not intuitive at all) and the ability to easily bring up a map on a mobile device that shows the path we have chosen are added, it can only be used as an additional reference, not on its own. My dream would be an app that turns my own custom walking tour into a Rick Steves type walking tour. Rick Steves has the walking tour concept down pat. To the developers, keep working on this - you have a good thing going and you are part way there. Even a more visible note telling folks they can add anything they wish if they know the address would be a big help. For instance, I changed our hotel to the cruise port by entering the cruise port address into the hotel address but I had to figure that out on my own. Nothing told me it was an option.

I started using this app to plan for a European trip that takes us to several major destinations. I found VisitACity intuitive & easy to use. It has various levels of assistance with itinerary suggestions and tour options that can be customized to suit ones’ schedule & activity level.

I did find that VisitACity stalled a few times and I had to restart in order to escape a few pages. I think with some fine tuning VisitACity can be a very valuable travel tool.

I have been looking for an app to track my trips and add places that I would like to go. VisitACity gives me ideas by setting up itineraries for me and allows me to adjust them to fit my needs. One thing that I would like to see is the ability to change the actual times. We made reservations for dinner and I may I am not able to change the time for that particular item without adjusting the length of the time I’m at other places.

I really love that I can plan out my trip with VisitACity and that it also calculates travel time. I think it would be more user friendly if you could just easily rearrange your daily itinerary without having to go through so many steps to do so. I also wish there was a way I could add notes to each event. And for the events that I add that don’t have a name, such as the Airbnb I’m staying at, I would like to be able to edit the title. Other than that I think it’s a great app.

I travel quite a bit and am a huge pre-planner - VisitACity has proved to be one of the most useful trip planning resources I’ve ever encountered. The itineraries you start with are great, and then the ability to customize them completely (add your own sights, swap days around, add days, etc) and have VisitACity update all connected info - like alerting you if you’ve moved a sight to a time it’s not open - is SO HANDY. I also really like the maps, and the walking/transit times given between each sight. Please expand to even more cities!

I love this site and I shared it to everyone I know that travels a lot and do not want to go on a tour. It is a good way to plan your day and to search for things to do. They give you the exact calculations of your hotels and the places to see when you are in a foreign country! Used it for 5 years now when we travel to Europe, Asia and everywhere else and it never fails..🤗
I highly recommend it and just remember that you can modify more by using your laptop/computer and have your itinerary email to you so you can open it with no WiFi. you can do it to your CP as well but you can not modify it as much..🤗

by Radicalrom

I admit I found it much easier to use website to plan the trip then VisitACity . I tried tons of travel planners and this is the best site. Once you have the plan done, you can share it or for me being old school, I printed it for a hard copy. There are areas it can improve on, but compared to other apps, this easy.

I had to email them with a technical support and they were awesome. Download it and give it a try, but remember the website is easier to do the initial plan. 5 stars me is odd, but VisitACity deserves it.

by Jkg608

I absolutely love VisitACity. Each time we travel we use it to check things out and plan the itinerary. However, for some reason VisitACity is not loading for the last few days. I tried deleting and uploading VisitACity again and still nothing. I am not sure if other customers experienced the same issue?

Update: I didn’t do the latest Iphone update and that was causing the issue. I have since updated to the latest version and now it works.

by Hihodado

VisitACity was everything you need for your trip. You are given suggestions of itineraries, the number of days and how packed you want it to be. All the information you need is there-opening times, tickets, background information, etc.

The planning was easy in that you could add or delete places, see everything on a map and make adjustments. Then when you get to your destination and start using VisitACity brings up a menu and lets you choose from a variety of maps ex Apple maps, Google maps, Waze, etc. you just pick your map and off you go.

The only thing I found frustrating was if you decide to skip one of the things on your itinerary and go to the next, it doesn’t allow you to do that because it’s not the time that you scheduled. You have to go into the website and change it.

I’ve told and shown all of my friends about VisitACity and they are amazed.

Great job, VisitACity does it all. Your trip is organized so you aren’t wasting time figuring out what to do next. We loved it!

I have lived in Europe for two years. The first 8 months I spent hours on the computer trying to piece together trips for my family. The first time I used it was London and I refuse to go somewhere and not have a this app plan. It made traveling the underground a snap. this app does all the work for me and I’m not backtracking and wasting time finding out opening hours/days/prices. this app gives me the freedom of easily creating an amazing adventure for my family with minimal time and avoiding the “rabbit hole” of the Internet.

by Vritterv

this app was the first easy, intuitive and helpful apps I used. I tried a handful of planning apps but gave up on the others. this app allowed me to immediately start planning my trip and get excited about it! When I realized that I could add my hotel and it would time walking to and from, I was even more excited about VisitACity. It will also calculate the best day to add an attraction as well as make sure attractions are open. This is a must use for any trip.

by Suzytravelsforfun

I have been using VisitACity to plan a trip to three cities. So many benefits: maps, showing where the attractions are so you can more efficiently plan your day, descriptions, which include the attractions ratings, highlights, opening times, recommended time to allocate, ability to find restaurants near the attractions. You can set up your itinerary and plan your day and VisitACity shows how much time it will take to walk between attractions. You can easily change your itinerary, make notes, and add tours or entertainment. I can’t say enough good things about VisitACity!

by Lulu The Drive By Traveller

VisitACity is amazing for someone who I would call a “drive by” traveler, who travels often and plans their own trip but doesn’t have time To do research and plan. It is a good starting point. Functionality that allows to add your hotel and restaurant Ana then recalculate the best route is fantastic .. the fact that it tells you which sightseeing places are open or closed on the day of your travle is priceless ..handy links to websites to buy tickets for those place is also amazing ... I’ve been thinking this up in my head for so long and when I found this up it was def a EUREKA moment for me.

I’m planning a trip to London and Paris in a couple of weeks. After trying to use Trio Advisor, Yelp and Google Trips without full satisfaction, I stumbled upon this while doing a Google Search. Wow! VisitACity and its website is incredible!!! You can use their itineraries or create your own from scratch, and it calculates the distance and time between points whether you walk or take transit. You can also add notes for each stop, which is super cool for noting special menu items, places to take the best photos, or whatever you want to remember about that place when you go. I am in love with VisitACity! I really can’t believe it only has 7 ratings.

I used this app to travel to Europe. It took the hassle out of connecting with an unfamiliar foreign area and language barrier.
I was able to plan my whole vacation. It gives suggestions on the number of days you want to plan out and itinerary (packed, top Attractions, Must sees, ect.) I was able to book the city tours, shuttles back the forth to the airport, Research and reserve restaurants. Love is app!!! What a fantastic tool to make you vacation memorable what years to come.

by Old Runner Guy

I’ve created several itineraries for different cities using Visit a City, but this is the first I actually used one, this time for Dublin. It worked great!

I downloaded an offline copy and have been able to use it throughout my trip. It showed me all the top attractions without pushing the sale of admission tickets. It included a map to everything in my customized itinerary, and when I added my hotel, it included that in the mix. I’m looking forward to using VisitACity for many other cities in the future.

If you have a city on your bucket list, it’s even fun to just explore the sights.

Just planned a 3 day trip to Amsterdam. this app made it unbelievably simple to plan this trip, choose activities and arrange schedules. Everything I needed was all in one place, no more searching all over the internet. The information and descriptions provided were fantastic resources. The ability to refine and adjust schedules was greatly appreciated. VisitACity also provides great tools (maps, directions, time schedules, etc.) to use on the trip and hopefully make it a super experience. Will review again after I return home.

by Stori95

I have used VisitACity to purchase tickets in two different countries. It’s very easy to use, and the directions they give are detailed and helpful.

When I used it for my last event, I wasn’t sure if I was at the correct location, I reached out to their team via WhatsApp and they replied back to me in less then two minutes.

I will use VisitACity any time I travel abroad !

by N’sworld

I’ve been using VisitACity for 10 years, I travel A LOT, I adjust times, dates and activities and attractions w easy. Usually I am the lead in my groups and people are always so impressed and satisfied. I set activities that are near eachother for same day, usually hitting one region or area per day. Very seldeom I use public transport, usually all by foot and the map option allows me to plan accordingly.

by Dmar42

I love VisitACity for trip planning. I like that it has all the major city sites, with descriptions that provide useful information about them. Nice that it includes itineraries for different numbers of days and different needs, etc. to give you an idea how much time to allocate for various places and ways to maximize short visits. I wouldn’t characterize it as a “one-stop” place for all your travel needs, but all in all a very handy and useful app.

by Meandering Traveler

The program works well, but I was unable to figure out how to list more than one hotel and use VisitACity to plot which sites to see from each hotel site. Also 10 days is maximum. Limited in allowing you to travel between different cities on the same trip. Nice listings of attractions close to each other and offers a variety of itineraries to adapt to your plans.

by Maritravels

Very useful in mapping out the major sites to see and then downloading these for offline use. The site includes info on what to look for in the site, days open, hours, admission fees, and walking distance to next site, with offline map to keep from getting lost. They also sell organized tours for those who don't want to plan their own sightseeing. No obnoxious pop ups or ads.

by DJPacia

I’ve always used VisitACity when traveling. Very useful in USA, Europe and Japan. I hope they will add other tourist attractions other than mostly museums because museums cost money. I also request that they add places where to find food ranging from expensive to cheap prices, stores nearby where to buy day to day needs and hotels near tourist attractions. Also weather conditions for each cities. Overall I like it it’s the best travel app imo.
