Limatola Consultancy

Independent Italian Language Consultant

What is a language consultant?

Proofreading and text revision, translation.

Business interpreting and international mediation

International events and luxury travel arrangements

A qualified language consultant is a linguist who has graduated from a university language consultancy program. It is not just a proofreader, a writer or an editor. A language consultant is all that and much more, concentrated in one person. Whether you need to translate or proofread a text, participate actively in international business meetings or trade fairs, organize activities in a foreign country you can refer to a language consultant. Click on the different links to read more about the wide range of services I can offer.

Proofreading means polishing the surface of your text, i.e. spelling, grammar, typos and so on. That's useful if you have a text that you're satisfied with but you feel just needs that final touch. Text revision adds a little more depth. That includes style, word choice, adapting a text to a target group, linking a text logically, writing headers and so on. I proofread and revise both Italian and English texts.

Every translation is tailor-made to suit the client by creating a text which gives the author their own voice, whilst using an appropriate style of language for the target audience. I offer translation services between Italian, Dutch and English. I have experience working with a wide range of texts, varying from technical manuals to art exhibitions to travel related websites and much more! I have experience in many industries and business sectors, although most of my work is within the following sectors:

Automotive – Catering –Consumer and Retail – Creative and Design – Education and Training – Leisure –Logistics –Marketing and PR –Media and Entertainment– Sport and Recreation –Travel and Tourism

Business interpreting and international business mediation

When is it appropriate to provide an interpreter to help you conduct international business more easily? When you’re dealing with clients that do not speak your language comfortably or you may find that there will be difficulty in getting your point across clearly. In short time segments, the interpreter will convey all the information necessary for a correct understanding of what is being said. A consecutive interpreter is needed in business meetings, negotiations, presentations, pitches or press conferences. I have been helping companies across industry sectors with my interpreting skills for nearly a decade. My experience and know-how ensure prompt and outstanding results.

I cooperate with valuable suppliers in the luxury segment providing arrangements for international events and luxury travel itineraries. Think about top-notch meetings and congresses, and the whole logistic organization around that, or unique travel itineraries exclusively for small groups or couples who wish to visit the less obvious spots at amazing locations. I mostly concentrate on specific areas such as: Netherlands, Tuscany, Napoli, Gulf of Naples Islands (Capri, Ischia and Procida) and Amalfi Coast, which being a local I know well, but am certainly open for new challenges in other areas.

My name is Carla Limatola (1984) I am an Italian independent consultant, translator and interpreter born and raised in the city of Napoli, Italy. At the age of 22, after graduating in Translation studies at the University of Naples L’Orientale, I moved to the Netherlands (Amsterdam) where I have been living and working for over ten years. I speak English, Dutch, Spanish and Italian fluently. I have worked for major corporate companies in the Netherlands within a variety of industries and have cooperated with the leading Naples based yachting agency as a yachting agent. My main hobby is photography and my greatest passions are superyachts and football. I am proud member of the Network Italian translators in the Netherlands (NVI) and Young Professionals in Yachting (YPY) in the Netherlands associations.

È stato un piacere collaborare con la vostra agenzia e cogliamo l’occasione per ringraziarvi dell’estrema professionalità e gentilezza.  Speriamo di poter lavorare ancora insieme.

Travel Planner vs. Travel Agent: What Are the Differences?

Learn about the two careers and review some of the similarities and differences between them.

Travel planners and travel agents are two professions that help people plan and book their travel arrangements. Though both roles share some similarities, there are several key differences between them. In this article, we discuss the differences between a travel planner and a travel agent, and we provide tips for choosing the right professional for your needs.

What is a Travel Planner?

Travel Planners are responsible for arranging all aspects of a client’s travel, from booking flights and hotels to planning itineraries and activities. They work closely with clients to understand their travel needs and preferences, then use that information to create a custom travel plan. Travel Planners must be knowledgeable about destinations, transportation options, accommodation options and activity options in order to provide the best possible experience for their clients. They also need to be able to find the best deals and discounts on travel services to save their clients money.

What is a Travel Agent?

Travel Agents work with individuals and groups to plan and book travel accommodations, transportation and activities. They use their knowledge of destinations, resorts, airlines and tour operators to find the best travel options and create custom itineraries. Travel Agents often have first-hand experience with the locations they recommend, which helps them provide more accurate advice and recommendations to their clients. They also keep up-to-date on the latest industry news and developments to ensure that their clients are getting the most up-to-date information. Travel Agents typically work in travel agencies, but some may work remotely.

Travel Planner vs. Travel Agent

Here are the main differences between a travel planner and a travel agent.

Travel planners typically focus on the travel planning aspect of their job, while travel agents handle a variety of tasks related to traveling. Travel planners help clients create personalized itineraries based on their needs and preferences. They research destinations, plan transportation and accommodation details and advise clients about local regulations.

Travel agents perform customer service duties by helping travelers with common issues like lost tickets or flight rescheduling. They also provide travel planning services by advising clients on destinations and accommodations. Additionally, travel agents may book flights and other modes of transportation for their clients.

Job Requirements

Travel planners and travel agents typically need at least a high school diploma to enter the field. However, many employers prefer candidates who have a bachelor’s degree in tourism or hospitality. Some travel professionals also pursue certification through organizations like the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) or the National Association of Career Travel Agents (NACTA). These certifications can help travel professionals stand out to potential employers and show that they are serious about their career.

Work Environment

Travel planners and travel agents work in different environments. Travel agents typically work in an office setting, where they can access information about their clients’ travel plans and book flights, hotels or other transportation options for them. They may also meet with clients in person to discuss their travel needs and preferences.

Travel planners often work in a variety of settings, depending on the type of trip they’re planning. For example, if they’re planning a cruise, they might work from home or at a desk in an office building. If they’re planning a hiking trip, they might go to the location of the hike to scout out trails and plan activities for the group.

Travel planners and travel agents share some skills, such as customer service, communication and organizational skills. They both need to be able to understand the needs of their clients and provide them with options that meet those needs. Travel planners and travel agents also need to be able to keep track of many details at once and stay organized while they are making travel arrangements for their clients.

However, there are some differences in the skills needed for these jobs. Travel planners may need more research skills than travel agents as they often work with clients who are planning trips to destinations that they are not familiar with. Travel planners also need to be able to use computer software to book travel arrangements and create itineraries. Travel agents typically have access to booking systems that make it easier for them to find and book travel arrangements for their clients.

Travel planners can earn an average salary of $58,112 per year, while travel agents can earn an average salary of $44,694 per year. Both of these average salaries may vary depending on the size of the company at which you work, location of your job and the level of experience you have prior to pursuing either position.

Moscow and St Petersburg - please critique the itinerary, suggestions for tour guides

I have planned a summer holiday with my family to Moscow and St Petersburg. The itinerary is as follows:

Thursday 30-Jun-15 Departure to Moscow Friday 01-Jul-15 Moscow Saturday 02-Jul-15 Moscow Sunday 03-Jul-15 Moscow Monday 04-Jul-15 Moscow Tuesday 05-Jul-15 Departure to St Petersburg by Red Arrow Express Wednesday 06-Jul-15 St Petersburg Thursday 07-Jul-15 St Petersburg Friday 08-Jul-15 St Petersburg Saturday 09-Jul-15 St Petersburg Sunday 10-Jul-15 St Petersburg Monday 11-Jul-15 Departure to Moscow by Red Arrow Express Tuesday 12-Jul-15 Departure to Mumbai

I get 5 full days in Moscow (the first day we will be a bit tired so will take it easy). Then the overnight sleeper train to St Petersburg - 6 days at St Petersburg, overnight train back to Moscow, go directly to the airport, and fly back home. Please critique the itinerary mentioned above. The intention is clearly to sight-see at a leisurely pace, eat local food, have a good time in general.

Will I need the services of a local tour guides or can one get by by using Lonely Planet Travel guides? This is the first time I am visiting a country where not only is language a problem, but even the alphabets used are different, which means one cannot simply match names mentioned in a guide book with those on name plates and get by. As I understand, not many signboards are in English.

Any recommendations on budget tour guides? The larger ones are expensive, one quote I received was for USD 1200 for a 3 day tour of St Petersburg, for 3 adults, all tickets included (no meals) with about 7 - 8 hour of sightseeing each day.

Look forward to hearing from you all.

For Moscow check with Daniel Petrov, http://www.waytomoscow.com/

I suggest learning the Cyrillic alphabet - Russian is almost entirely phonetic, so once you know the alphabet, you can puzzle out the signs.

We also used Dan Petrov on both of our Moscow trips. He's quite a fun and intelligent fellow and remains one of our good friends. Our most recent trip to St Petersburg we used Nikolai to take us to Catherine's Palace in Pushkin. We found Nikolai on www.toursbylocals.com where we've hired several local guides all over Europe.

A disclaimer or two - first , I won't address Moscow , not having visited there , but I spent about three weeks in St Petersburg this past autumn and did it independently without any tour guides . I am in the minority about this , but I didn't find St Petersburg any more difficult to deal with than any other major European city . True , the alphabet is a bit of a puzzle , but if you learn the Cyrillic Alphabet ( a fairly easy learning curve ) you will be surprised at how your understanding will increase . As far as the 1200 USD quote you received , that doesn't sound all that bad . Three people for three days and eight hours per day breaks down to about $135 USD / day / person . Reasonable pricing to my mind . Central St Petersburg is easy to negotiate , with great Metro and Bus systems and English is common enough in the areas peopled by tourists . How much preparation and homework you do also has an enormous bearing on your outcome , the more , the better off you will be .

That tour price seems high to me. We will be in St. Petersburg for 3 days this summer on a cruise stop, but we will have Russian visas due to a pre-cruise visit to Moscow.

Look for a price in rubles or a guide that charges by the hour. We found one for one of our days in St. Petersburg this coming summer to take us to Catherine Palace and through the Hermitage for about $130 (including the taxi to/from Catherine's Palace) for the two of us. Of course, that might fluctuate a little bit if the ruble strengthens, but she has a $ hourly rate as well so we know the most we will have to pay. The guide is Oxana - [email protected] . She has been very responsive to emails and in helping us figure out the most cost-effective way to use her services.

The rest of the time we will be on our own. All of the sites are close together and for some you can buy tickets online ahead of time to avoid the lines. We will taxi to Peterhof and take the hydrofoil back (or taxi if the weather is bad).

Thanks a lot everyone. Will look up all your suggestions!

Hi Mohan, I am pleased to hear you and your family are planning a trip to Russia. June should be a wonderful time whether wise. ...you might even come at the time when lilacs are in bloom and of course this is basically white night season in St. Peter.... all in all a good time!

I'm Russian so I cannot relate to the language / signage problem there, but I do think that they should have more signs in English than they have. However, as above mentioned posts said, if you learn Cyrillic alphabet, I think you should be able to read some of the signs.

Five years ago, I took a group of Japanese ladies (a large group!), to Moscow - Suzdal - St. Peter. Because of the visa requirements, the need of guides, etc etc, I had to use an agent in Russia. My first contact turned out be very unreliable, so I was apprehensive when I started to look for another one. Really apprehensive. But I am pleased to say that the agent whom I used "Ulko Tours" was absolutely wonderful. The owner Elena Ulko has an agency that specialises in American tourists coming to Russia. Nevertheless, she arranged great Japanese guides for us. Transportation, restaurant recommendation, ballet tickets, etc were all great. I have a lot of great things to say about Elena and her agency. I even felt compelled to write a review on TA because they did a great job. If interested, here is the link to my review and company information. http://goo.gl/uzOmJ1 It never hurts to write and ask what they can suggest for you private tours

I am not sure whether you wanted to consider adding one more destination to your itinerary, but we loved visiting Suzdal (Golden Ring town). There are some day tours out of Moscow (which I think would be crazy do in one day), but the next time I visit, I considered getting a ride there on a tour bus, and they just staying overnight. I think Suzdal is about 3 hours away from Moscow. There is also a train connection from Moscow to Suzdal which I cannot commend on. It's a love little town with dozens of amazing churches. Very picturesque. Very tranquil. When I was researching it for a private trip, I think I saw that there is an overnight train to St. Peter (from Vladimir which is a neibourghing city with Suzdal). I think it's double. Check out some of the images online for Suzdal to see if that is something you might like to add.

In Moscow, given a chance, take a looks at the Diamond Fond of Russia at the Kremlin. Must buy tickets in advance. wow, I've never seen anything like it!

St. Peter is my favourite city in Russia. I am sure you will have a great time there!

Enjoy! if you have any questions, get in touch.

Thanks for the detailed response Anna! I will check out Elena from, Ulko Tours. As also Suzdal.

BTW I wrote to Daniel Petrov (Moscow) and Oxana (St Petersburg) and both haven't responded yet - albeit I wrote just yesterday.

Hello Mohanapte, I'm sure you'll get some replies. good luck!

I can also recommend Elena. We used her on our first trip to St Petersburg and found her on the www.toursbylocals.com She has since started her own travel/tour agency. She's extremely nice and was a pleasure to work with.

I can highly recommend Peter of Peterswalks. Their philosophy is personalized service with a focus on explaining not only the major tourist spots, by normal daily life. We particularly enjoyed hearing the personal stories about adjusting to the changes that have occurred over time- the good and the bad. You will not be disappointed if you use this company. I would recommend doing a walking tour on your first full day in SPB. It will really help you orient yourself as they focus on showing you the neighborhood "shortcuts" to take when getting from one place to another. http://www.peterswalk.com/

I have visited Russia 5 times and St. Petersburg is my favorite Russian city. As earlier posted, it is fairly easy to learn the cryllic alphabet - one of the many such sites can be found here: http://www.russianforeveryone.com/RufeA/Lessons/Introduction/Alphabet/Alphabet.htm I've used the services of Alla Tours for both St. Petersburg and Moscow and found them to be wonderful. http://alla-tour.com/ I found their prices very reasonable when considering that you get very full days of touring with their guides and all admissions are covered. For Do It Yourself: I now have a 3 year visa & feel comfortable traveling without a guide. It is really not too difficult to get around in St. Petersburg and/or Moscow. I always print out a metro map and also take along maps of the city. Both St. Pete & Moscow offer hop-on/hop-off bus tours. Check out the St. Petersburg Card: https://petersburgcard.com/en/ and the Moscow Pass: https://moscowpass.com/

We did Russia in connection with a River Cruise that included four days in Moscow and four in STP before and after the cruise.

Russia is great and you can do some things on your own, but I don't recommend trying to do much on your own.

Suggest finding tour guides. I have read that Red October is a excellent tour company (my Son used them in STP) for tours in STP. For STP you have the Hermitage and Church of Spilled Blood as well as others sites that can take 2 days to see. However, you need to see Catherine's Palace and Peterhof that are several miles from the city.

For Moscow there are sites that are not right near Red Square, like the New Maiden's Convent. Also, suggest going to the ballet and Russian Army Show in STP.

St.Petersburg is somewhat easier to do on your own if you don't speak Russian and don't read their alphabet. I even saw some signs in English. But almost everything in Moscow is only in Russian. You would benefit greatly having a guide. We used this company and were very satisfied with their services: http://www.expresstorussia.com

Respectfully disagree with previous poster about Moscow. We found it easy to get around on the Metro on our own. There are information desks in the Metro stations with English-speaking help if you get lost. There are also large maps posted around Central Moscow with information in English. Every restaurant we went to had an English menu and at least one English-speaking employee. Don't be intimidated, you don't have to have a guide.

That being said, we used a guide for the first day at the Kremlin because we had limited time and we didn't want to wait in line at the Kremlin or the Armoury. The second day, we went on our own to Izmailovsky market, Gorky Park, Muzeon Park, and Kitay Gorod. Uber is also good in Moscow provided you don't try and use it at rush hour.
