Why obsessive logistics actually make a better trip

I've walked every coastal path, ridden every train, timed every sunset on the Riviera. I know which stations have elevators and which will ruin your suitcase. I've tested which "hidden gems" are genuinely hidden and which are just tourist traps with better Instagram presence.

This isn't about being busy. It's about being in the right place, at the right time, in the right order β€” and then being able to actually relax.

"I plan trips for people who hate logistical surprises β€” but love being surprised by beauty."

One Perfect Day

For the traveler who just needs ONE day dialed in.

Pick a town, pick a day, get a fully planned day route β€” exact times, what to skip, what to book, where to be at golden hour. The same obsessive detail as my custom routes, scoped to a single day.

  • One town, one day, fully planned
  • Hour-by-hour schedule with timing logic
  • One meal reservation recommendation
  • Golden hour and crowd-avoidance built in
  • Delivered within 48 hours
  • Multi-day route optimization
  • Restaurant reservations booked for you
Sample day Β· Menton
What the deliverable looks like
9:00 AM
Coffee at CafΓ© du MusΓ©e (terrace, away from the tourist strip)
10:30 AM
Cemetery viewpoint β€” empty before 11am, perfect light
1:00 PM
Lunch reservation: Mirazur (book 6 weeks ahead, terrace seating)
6:45 PM
Saint-Michel Basilica β€” 10-min window when sun aligns with the bay

Custom Route

For travelers with dates & hotel who need everything figured out.

You tell me where you're staying, how many days you have, and what kind of trip you want. I build the rest. No backtracking. No wasted half-days. No showing up somewhere at the wrong time.

  • Day-by-day itinerary for your exact dates and base
  • Route logic β€” east days stay east, west days stay west
  • Transport with timing and fallbacks
  • Restaurant picks for your pace and budget
  • Tourist trap warnings built in
  • One revision included
  • Reservations booked on your behalf
  • On-trip email support

What you don't do
The hand-off experience
βœ“ I call the restaurant for the 7:30pm slot
βœ“ I research hotels in your budget across 3 areas
βœ“ I book the MusΓ©e OcΓ©anographique timed entry
βœ“ You email me Tuesday from Monaco: "rain tomorrow, what now?"

FAQ

The questions I get asked first

How long until I get my plan? +
One Perfect Day: within 48 hours. Custom Route: 5-7 business days. Full Planning: 7-10 business days, plus we book the 30-min call within the first 3 days of starting.
What if I don't like the plan? +
Every tier includes revisions. One Perfect Day includes one revision. Custom Route includes one revision. Full Planning includes two. Tell me what to change and I rework it.
Can I upgrade from One Perfect Day to Full Planning later? +
Yes. If you buy a One Perfect Day and love it, I'll credit the €29 toward any Custom Route or Full Planning order. The €29 becomes a discovery fee, not a sunk cost.
What towns do you cover? +
The five I know best: Nice, Monaco, Menton, Villefranche-sur-Mer, and Èze, Cannes, St. Tropez. I've walked these towns multiple times and have the timing/timing/terrain data.
What does the form ask, exactly? +
Name, email, travel dates, who's coming, your top priorities (avoid crowds, hit famous spots, photography, etc.), and any must-do/must-avoid items. Takes about 90 seconds. For One Perfect Day, I trim it down to just town and date.
Can I ask questions before I commit? +
Yes β€” just use the form below and select "I want a complete done-for-you plan" for planning style. I reply to every inquiry within 24 hours, no commitment to buy.
