I finally understand why people love Italy - This was such a fun trip. Our driver was Juliano and he knew basically everything. It felt like he was cheating, because there was not a single thing that he couldn't explain :D The car ride was also really entertaining. I do not think it would've been possible for me to discover the city on my own like I did with him. He showed us secret places, I had one of the best pasta ever and I enjoyed every second of it. We saw a lot, but it was really relaxing all the time. I can't wait to book another tour and enjoy another ride with him.
