Where would you rather stay: in a medieval castle overlooking town or a bland hotel room? The 15th-century hunting lodge-turned-eco farm of a marquis or a chain hotel? Would you rather take gondola poling lessons or a quick gondola ride in Venice? In this evening seminar, guidebook author Reid Bramblett shares tips, tricks, and insider secrets that can turn an ordinary vacation into the trip of a lifetime— without increasing the cost.

Interspersed among the practical tips, travel-industry trends, and recommended resources will be examples of how saving money doesn’t have to shortchange your trip; it can help you experience more while spending less.With his advice, for instance, you could skip to the head of the long line at Paris’s Musee d’Orsay without buying a ticket or take a free tour of Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour in an authentic Chinese junk.

Bramblett is the author of numerous Frommer’s and DK Eyewitness guides and founder of ReidsGuides.com.
