On our way from Rome to the Amalfi coast, we decided to stop and visit the ancient ruins of Pompeii. Pompeii is a vast archaeological site in southern Italy close to the city of Naples. Once a thriving and sophisticated Roman city, Pompeii, and all its inhabitants, were suddenly and tragically buried in meters of ash after the catastrophic eruption…
The historical centre of the city of Rome is ancient, beautiful and impressive. Like most first time visitors to Rome, I couldn’t wait to explore the city, and check long-standing items off my bucket list like marveling in the shadow of the Colosseum, wandering through the Roman Forum, and sitting upon the Spanish Steps. I was…
During our time in London, we wanted to leave the city to experience some of the historical sights throughout Southern England. After a little research, we found a tour with Viator Tours that would allow us to experience Windsor Castle, the historical city of Bath, and Stonehenge all in one day. Although the tour schedule…
During our stay in Florence, we wanted to experience surrounding Tuscany. To make this happen, we registered for a tour of the Chianti Classico region of Tuscany with a company called Tuscan Wine Tours by Grape Tours. We purchased tickets for the tour in advance of our arrival, which was necessary to ensure there was space…

It’s a city where you get around in boats, not cars, and where all the buildings appear to float on water. The entire…
I think that Paris is a city that everyone dreams to visit. Every person has a different preconceived ‘dream idea’ of what Paris will be like before they experience it for the first time. Maybe they dream they will waltz through the beautiful streets wearing a béret and eating a baguette, or picnicking by the Eiffel Tower,…
London is an incredible city. I could spend weeks and months wandering, exploring, eating and taking everything in. We had two and a half days to experience as much as we could, and although that didn’t leave much time for relaxing, we had an amazing time. We arrived midday into Kings Cross Station, and proceeded directly to…
