FAQs about my Travel Guides

Every Guided by Andrew city or region travel guide is designed to help you travel Europe with confidence, curiosity, and less overwhelm. These are practical, experience-driven European travel guides for travelers who want more than a generic ‘top 10’ list.

Inside each travel guide, you’ll find a Location Lowdown with essential context about the city and country, followed by the key things you should know before you go, from local customs to practical travel tips.

Andrew’s Sliding Scales give you quick, at-a-glance insight into what a destination is really like, while Best Neighbourhoodsto Explore helps you understand where to spend your time, including history, highlights, and local vibe.

You’ll also get The Top 10 Things to See & Do, themed must-sees that tell the Story of the Region, and Day Trip ideas if you want to explore outside of the city.

My travel guides cover where to stay, what to eat, and how to get around, with clear transportation advice. Throughout, you’ll find direct links to official websites for attractions, transport, and experiences, making planning and ticket booking easy.

You’ll also get access to my custom Google Map and essential apps, which provides everything you need to plan your trip in one place.

My travel guides focus on giving you a smart foundation for building your own trip, not locking you into a pre-planned itinerary.

Yes, my travel guides include key tourist highlights, but only when they’re genuinely worth your time. If something is popular but overrated, it doesn’t make the cut. Every recommendation earns its place.

Beyond the highlights, the travel guides help you understand neighbourhoods, local culture, and how the city actually works, so you can decide what fits your interests and travel style.

You’ll also find links to official websites throughout, giving you the freedom to explore further and make informed decisions before you go.

Most importantly, these are not pre-built itineraries. You travel at your own pace. I’m here to give you the framework and the confidence to make the trip your own.

Guided by Andrew travel guides are perfect for anyone visiting a city or region in Europe for the first time. Whether it’s your first-ever Europe trip, or just a destination you haven’t explored yet.

They’re ideal for independent travelers, solo, couples, slow travelers, and culturally curious explorers who want structure without rigidity and prefer understanding a place rather than rushing through it.

For first-time travelers to Europe, the travel guides provide a clear framework that makes planning feel manageable instead of overwhelming. You’ll know where to stay, how to get around, what’s actually worth your time, and how to pace your trip.

They’re not just for beginners, though. Even seasoned Europe travelers will find value when heading somewhere new, helping you get oriented quickly and avoid the usual planning mistakes and initial research.

If you want a smart starting point with room for discovery, these travel guides are for you.

Guided by Andrew travel guides are built on real-world experience, thoughtful curation, and practical logistics – not algorithms or affiliate-driven content.

Free travel blogs are often written to rank in search results, not to help you plan efficiently. They can be outdated, overly long, or full of generic recommendations without explaining why something matters or how it fits into a realistic trip.

AI itineraries can be useful for ideas, but they often miss nuance. Prompts don’t always give you what you’re actually looking for, and results can lack local context, realistic pacing, seasonal insight, or on-the-ground logistics.

My travel guides combine first-hand experience with clear structure: neighborhood breakdowns, transportation advice, cultural context, and curated recommendations that work together. You’ll also find official website links, essential apps, and my custom Google Map with every place mentioned.

The result? A flexible, reliable framework for traveling Europe with no guesswork.
