City guide bots turn a destination and a few free days into a route: what to see, in which order and how to move between stops. In Telegram the plan arrives as a chat message you can forward to your travel companions, but opening hours and distances still need a check before you set off.

We searched for route-planning and city-guide bots and kept only those that still open as a bot on t.me, checked against a username we know is free. Then we looked for the maker's side: the TouristItinerary.com site links straight to its bot, and the features, free trial and offline advice described here come from that site. Two other candidates stay out of the rating: a trip organiser from a 2024 programming-olympiad project whose code was archived in May 2024, and a city chatbot for digital nomads that its maker says was discontinued in 2016. We have not yet run a full trip request through the bot, so its place rests on these checks.
A route bot works from what you give it, and the more specific the request, the less you trim afterwards. Name the city or village, your dates, how many days you have and a line about budget and interests: museums, food, long walks, time with children. TouristItinerary.com asks for the destination, travel dates and length of stay and, according to its site, takes budget and interests into account, mixing well-known sights with less obvious local spots. It works for any location, from a capital to a small village.
Treat the plan as a first draft. AI models can get opening hours, distances and prices wrong, and sometimes put a stop in the wrong part of town. Before the trip, open every stop on a map, check that the order makes sense on foot or by public transport, and look up the hours of anything you would cross the city for. Leave slack in each day, as the bot's own site recommends. The bot needs internet to answer, so save the final plan as screenshots or forward it to Saved Messages while you still have a connection.
TouristItinerary.com plans a route; it does not book, navigate or show live maps. What continued use costs after the free trial is not published, so check before relying on it for a long trip. To find a café or a pharmacy near you right now, map bots such as Foursquare (@foursquare) and OpenStreetMap (@osmbot) have their own rating, and hotels, flights and trains are rated separately too.
No, every answer from a bot needs a connection. Before heading out, forward the route and addresses to Saved Messages - chats you have already opened usually stay readable offline - and download offline maps in a map app for navigation.
Treat them as a hint: hours, holiday closures and seasonal schedules change, and a bot's database or an AI model's knowledge can lag behind. Before a long detour, check the current schedule on the place's official website or social pages.
Yes, AI models sometimes invent a plausible café, museum or viewpoint, or mix up places with similar names. Before building a route around a recommendation, find each stop on a map and make sure it has a real address and recent reviews.
