Benvenuti!

Welcome to our online scrapbook documenting our experience taking a 16-year old and a 20-year old to Italy!   We'd like to share our recommendations for traveling, eating the finest Italian foods, and seeing the best sites. 

We approached the tour hoping to embrace the highlights like gondola rides in Venice and the Colosseum in Rome, while also taking the time to sit back and enjoy our vacation.  Our wonderful Rick Steves tour guide, Sarah, provided everything we needed to check our boxes on immersion into Italian culture.  Sarah also provided many options as to how we could use our allotted free time.  We usually opted for the activities that included enjoying the city we were stopped in by eating gelato, sipping espresso, or sitting and enjoying the view.  This helped us keep up our stamina for the duration of the trip and let us enjoy the culture of each tour stop.
