Escape with Ellie
City Breaks built around what you want to see
I plan the itinerary, book the hotel in the right neighbourhood, sort the restaurants and tours worth doing, and book the flights at the right times. You walk straight out of the airport and into the trip.
What a city break with me looks like
Most people Google a city, read three blog posts, get overwhelmed, and book the first hotel they recognise. A city break with me skips that bit.
- Choose the right neighbourhood to stay in. Every city has good areas and tourist-trap areas. Sometimes the famous postcode is the worst one to sleep in. I'll tell you why.
- Book the hotel. Properties I know or trust, sized to your trip length, location-first. Where I have a supplier relationship, you get the upgrade or the extras.
- Build the itinerary day by day. What's worth doing, what's worth skipping, what's worth booking in advance. The Vatican and the Anne Frank House are not walk-ins.
- Book the restaurants. The good ones in any city are reserved out two to four weeks ahead.
- Sort the experiences worth booking ahead. Cooking classes, sidecar tours, opera tickets, sport, day trips.
- Arrange flights and transfers. Sensible flight times. Transfers to the door, or a train if it's faster.
How planning works
You tell me the city (or ask for a shortlist), the dates, and what you're hoping the trip feels like. I come back with a proposal: hotel, day-by-day plan, dinner reservations and any pre-booked experiences. You approve it, I book everything. You get a single PDF for the trip and my number if anything changes.
Ready when you are.
Send me a message and I'll come back to you within one working day.
