Nan McElroy, author of ITALY: INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE, is a freelance writer living full time in Venice, likes singing, rowing, eating out. A good friend with which we share our love for the city and our efforts towards a more sustainable tourism.
Walks inside Venice proposes her welcome introduction to the city. But don't forget Nan's recommendation (!) :
"I warn you though, Gentle visitor: a sojourn here could change your life…it certainly has mine."
The Welcome Introduction covers all the things an art and history tour doesn't:
a highlighted city map
transport system explanation and orientation, including nearest vaporetto stops
vaporetto explanation with exclusive Venice Vaporetto Guide & cheat sheet
the current Venice guide with hours, openings
advice on current events and exhibitions
expert eating & drinking recs, from pizza to alta cucina and first night reservations
suggestions for how best to organize your time according to your interests and itinerary
pointing out of convenient vaporetto and gondola ferry locations
coordinated city-wide explanations between maps and principal thoroughfares, shortcuts, navigation tips along orientation keys and landmarks, ways to get un-lost, along with shopping tips, current exhibitions, along with notable enoteche, eateries, favorite gelato bars, and more.
We’ll dot your map with locations for any activities you already have scheduled, make suggestions for things to keep an eye out for as you wander. We’ll have eating tips of all types, and make reservations if you’d like (definitely for your first night). We’ll include a complete explanation of the vaporetto and traghetto and how best to take advantage of them. We’ll tell you of any last minute goings-on, answer any specific questions, and include insider recommendations – all according to you personal interests and mode of travel.
