Has anyone used the Visit A City website and app to map out a route and touring schedule in Barcelona, Rome, Florence or Venice? https://www.visitacity.com/
It seems very handy to pick what you would like to see and then groups them together on a day and a route from your hotel that makes the most sense. Seems nice to have locations clumped together to minimize walking. If I have some timed entry tours I can plan other sites before and after the timed site.
Just wondering how accurate the walking times are and how good the walking map is compared to google maps?
Thanks!

I have used Visit A City for my last few trips to Rome, Prague and Paris and its a great app! The suggestions on the day to see a particular attraction you choose works well for the most part to group attractions but I like that it also allows you to override it. Make sure you adjust your visit durations as their recommended times seemed overly long to me. Also make sure you download your plan onto your phone so you are not constantly using data.
As for how accurate the walking times are - they are pretty accurate. The map is ok, but I used a combination of Google maps and Citymapper for our last trips to Rome and to Prague 6 months ago and preferred them.

Not in the cities you mention, but I have used it in Berlin, Prague, London and San Francisco. I liked that it helped me group things geographically and took opening/closing days and times into consideration. After your “plan” is created you still have the option to move things around and add stops and time for meals.
I found the walking times and maps to be as accurate as google maps.

We have used it in Italy, Paris, and Greece. I feel like it is fairly accurate.
