A call before your Venice weekend

- A weekend plan, mapped out live
- Districts matched to your pace
- A plan built around your own days
- A written plan to keep
- Local advice before you land
About this tour
This call is a planning session built around a first weekend in Venice. I talk through the main districts on a shared map, matching suggestions to how much walking someone wants and how many days they have. By the end you have a short plan built around your own pace rather than a fixed itinerary.
We start with a sound check, then I bring up the map and talk through each district in turn. You can stop me with questions about any of them as we go, and I adjust the plan to fit your trip. Afterwards I send the plan again in writing.
It suits anyone planning a short trip who wants local advice rather than a generic list. It also works well booked a few days before you travel.
Included
- A 30-minute call with a local guide
- Honest tips on where to eat, stay and what to skip
- A short follow-up note with every place mentioned
Not included
- Bookings made on your behalf
- Phone or data charges from your provider

Questions about this tour
What will the call cover?
The guide talks you through Venice: where to go, what to eat, and answers to whatever you ask.
What happens if the call drops?
The guide will try you again straight away.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
