I once got lost in Venice’s winding alleys and ended up at a tiny, hidden café where I made friends with locals over coffee and laughter.

Virtual Tour, Real Decision

Stuck between Barcelona and Lisbon for our anniversary trip, my husband and I turned to Discover Live for help.

Through our virtual guide Sebastian's camera, we explored Barcelona's Gothic Quarter after the crowds had left, discovering hidden courtyards and authentic tapas bars. When I asked about evening noise levels in different neighborhoods, he demonstrated in real-time—information no review could provide.

Two days later, our Lisbon virtual tour with Ines revealed crucial details about the city's infamous hills. When my husband mentioned his knee concerns, Ines immediately showed us the steepness of various streets and demonstrated public transportation options. The moment she took us into a small family-owned pastelaria where the owner cheerfully waved to us through the screen, our decision was made.

We chose Lisbon and arrived feeling like we already knew the city. The confidence from our virtual exploration saved us from wasting precious vacation time getting oriented or falling into tourist traps. Ines had even suggested a perfect boutique hotel that wasn't on any of our original lists.

Our one-hour virtual investment saved our actual vacation—and when we met Ines for coffee during our stay, it felt like reuniting with an old friend.
