Italy Trip Strategy Consultation
@samseesitalyItaly, But Better
Planning a trip to Italy sounds amazing... until you actually try to do it.
Too many cities.
Too many blogs.
Too many “must-dos” that don’t match how you actually want to travel.
This Italy Trip Strategy Consultation is a one-on-one video call designed to help you plan a trip that makes sense for you.
I’m Sam, an American who has been living in Italy since 2024, and I help travelers plan their dream Italy trip with focus on food, wine, and local culture.
What This Consultation Is
A 60-minute Google Meet video call where we can:
- Build a realistic, day-by-day trip plan
- Talk through logistics so nothing feels intimidating
- Focus on food, wine, and local experiences
- Help you understand how to book everything yourself with confidence
What We Can Chat About
Every call is customized, but we can chat about things like:
- Suggested day-by-day itinerary
- Which cities actually make sense together
- How long to stay in each place
- Train vs car logistics
- Budget planning and expectations
- Food and drink recommendations by city
- Wine regions and tastings that fit your route
- Seasonal tips and what’s worth skipping
- Cultural pacing so your trip doesn’t feel rushed
- How to book hotels, trains, and experiences yourself
- Safety tips
- Things we wish we'd known
- Apps that make your life easier
Anything Italy-focused, with special insight into Bologna and Florence, plus other cities or regions we genuinely know well.
What You’ll Get After the Call
After our conversation, you’ll receive:
- A summarized recap
- Links and resources discussed on the call
- Booking guidance you can act on immediately
- Our Italy Travel Reference Guide eBook ($9.99 value!)
Sent via email within a short follow-up window.
You’re also welcome to reply with clarification questions related to what’s sent.
What This Is NOT
To keep expectations clear:
- I do not book hotels, trains, tours, or tastings
- I do not provide visa or legal advice
- This is not ongoing trip management
- This is not a travel agency service
Think of this as expert guidance so you can book confidently.
Who This Is For
This consultation is a great fit if:
- You’re traveling to Italy and feel overwhelmed
- You want help planning without handing control to a travel agent
- You care about food, wine, and local culture
- You want realistic advice from someone who lives here
- You want a trip that feels intentional, not chaotic
How It Works
- Book your consultation and submit payment
- Fill out a short intake form with your trip details

Please note: Calls canceled or missed without notice may be forfeited without refund. One courtesy reschedule may be offered for first-time clients.
This consultation is a professional service. Any inappropriate, offensive, or disrespectful behavior during the call will result in the session being ended immediately without a refund.
**Note: While I live in Italy and have extensive experience planning travel here, I haven’t personally visited every city or region yet. If your trip includes a destination I haven’t been to firsthand, I’ll be upfront about that and focus our call on planning strategy, logistics, pacing, and trusted recommendations rather than personal experience. If you have any hesitations, you can send me a message (button above) and I'm happy to address any concerns before you purchase.
