On Day 3 in Italy, I strayed a bit from my “no itinerary” plans and booked an Air BnB Experience. Only available in limited cities at the time of this writing, Airbnb made booking the tour really easy (since I already had an account) and I loved, love, loved that it really was the offer of a memorable “experience” instead of an information-based tour. Of the three day tours I joined during my 3 week journey, the Airbnb experience was my favorite.
My trip began and ended in Italy, with two weeks of exploring Croatia and Bosnia in the middle. On the return trip to Italy, I spent four days in Rome.
In Rome more so than Florence, it was the architecture rather than the galleries that demanded most of my awe.
