Venice: an evening to enjoy, not to rush through.

An easy meeting point

Send the exact location and a clear reference rather than “let’s meet in the centre”. Ask whether the person is already in the city or needs to travel there. If you arrive with luggage or have transport connections, allow extra time; meeting should not depend on every connection being perfect.

Clear arrangements leave more freedom for the moment.

Pace, route and accessibility

Explain how much walking you would enjoy and any practical requirements you wish to share. A route that looks short on a map may not suit everyone. Check venue accessibility and planned connections directly. Being willing to accompany you does not imply personal-care expertise; any specific support must be clarified beforehand.

An agreed end to the evening

Agree the duration and where you will say goodbye, especially if your return depends on a connection. Check current schedules with the transport operator. Dinner, tickets and transport should be distinguished from the companionship fee. Knowing the practical ending leaves more space to enjoy everything in between.
