Itinerary Feedback
Cost: $160
Let’s say you already have an idea of the things you want to see and do in Venice and would like my feedback on the feasibility of your ideas. Or, you have a set itinerary but you are not sure if it is (chronologically speaking) set up in the right order.
I will give you my thoughts on how you could improve your itinerary and point you in the right direction when it comes to logistics, lodgings and tours. This service is designed to provide you with local knowledge that can save you time.
This is for anyone who want to:
- ✓ Improve an existing itinerary by deciding with me which spots to add to.
- ✓ Adjust an itinerary by getting my insights as a local.
- ✓ Get advice on the feasibility of your ideas based on your available time, budget and personal needs.
My itinerary feedback package includes:
- Email consultation: This email consultation is designed for us to go through your itinerary or rough plan of places you’d like to see in Venice. You’ll have your questions prepared and we’ll go through all your queries together. Where I see your itinerary can be improved I’ll give you specific tips and guidance. This will last 3 days or be equivalent to 6 emails. My answers to your questions are very thorough and as always I like to go above and beyond with the advice that I give.
- Follow-up PDF: Within 72 hours of our consultation I will send you links with a quick summary that will cover any hotels, tours or transportation options we have discussed in our conversation so you can have your trip notes in a downloadable format.

Planning a trip to Venice FAQs
Here are some questions people ask before using one or more of my services:
Terms & Payment
Please read my terms before booking your package:
- To be able to secure your booking (either a consultation or itinerary package) I require full payment in advance of the call/email. The payment is to be made either with a credit card via Stripe or PayPal in GBP or the equivalent based on the exchange rate using Wise.com that day. You can also do a direct bank deposit in either GBP, USD or EUR. All payments are non-refundable.
- I suggest that when planning a trip to Venice you leave enough time for us to work out your travel plans in advance. For this reason, I recommend you aim to book your package a minimum of 4 weeks before you intend to travel. Itinerary feedback can be bought with a shorter lead time, usually at least 2 weeks before your intended travel date is enough time.
- The packages that I offer on this page are not a way for me to book accommodation, transport activities or tours on your behalf. Rather, I will provide you with the links based on our discussions, so you can book the activities or lodgings by yourself. Affiliate links will be clearly marked, and you will have the chance to compare them against the other providers (if you wish).
- If you look at the travel guides on this site, you will find recommendations for travel insurance, but I am unable to discuss the benefits or features of any travel insurance providers during our consultation, and cannot provide legal advice on those topics.
- My Venice Itinerary Planning service and Venice Itinerary Feedback along with the Venice Travel Consultation are designed to help you make the most of your time in Venice. All of my recommendations and advice when it comes to exploring Venice and Veneto are based on my own experience from years of spending time in the region. I do my best to ensure you have the best trip, and I provide suggestions that are suited to your style of travel and budget. However, I cannot be held responsible for any unforeseen circumstances such as changes in travel times or delays that can sometimes happen along the way.
Note: these packages are designed for you to start planning your trip to Venice right away! Reserve a call or send me an email – [email protected] – and I will get back to you within 24 hours. Remember to mention the dates that you plan to travel on.
