Venice is one of the world’s most iconic cities, but planning your first visit can quickly become overwhelming. From getting around to avoiding tourist traps, it’s easy to feel confused before you even arrive.

 

That’s why we’ve created this free educational session, designed specifically for first-time visitors who want to experience Venice with confidence and intention.

 

Led by Courtney Fleming-Italia, historian, Italy travel specialist, and founder of Your Grand Tour, this live Zoom session draws on her deep expertise and 50+ personal visits to Venice. With decades of professional insight, Courtney will guide you through the essentials every traveler should know.

 

You’ll learn:

• How to navigate Venice confidently - including everything you need to know about water taxis, water buses, gondolas, walking around, and exploring the wider lagoon. 

• Which myths and misconceptions about Venice you can ignore. 

• How to directly book major sights and activities - avoiding confusion, up-charges, and tourist traps. 

• Courtney’s favourite local-led tours and experiences, authentic artisan shops, Venetian restaurants, and cosy wine bars. 

There will also be a chance to ask your own questions live in the chat box, with dedicated time for Courtney to answer as many as she can!
 

Whether you’re heading to Venice next week or just beginning to plan, this is a rare chance to learn from someone who’s helped thousands of travellers experience Venice with depth and ease - no sales pitch or pressure, just real, practical guidance.

 

Live attendees will receive a follow-up PDF with links, tips, and an exclusive discount on personalised private travel planning - should you decide you need a bit more assistance.
