    I did 11 of the adventures of your list, still have a few to go! I would add in two more: eat pizza at the Pizzeria Brandi, birthplace of this yummy food (located in Naples) and visit Taormina, in Sicily.

      Gabi, I am so glad you have been able to do so many! Not many people have! I will have to try this pizza and I am working on planning a trip to Sicily soon. Thanks for the tips!

    I was wondering what company did you rent the vespa from?

      Hi Loren!

      I have been on three vespa tours with Tuscany Cycle and I highly recommend them! You can read about my experience here to learn more as well! I took my parents on one of their tours and it was the highlight of their visit. Let me know if you end up going, it is so much fun. 🙂
