Climbing the Duomo + Florence food and gelato | Italy Day 13

We made it to Florence, our final stop on our Italian adventure! And on our first day we wandered around the city, climbed to the top of the Duomo, and ate some delicious food and gelato (plus had a gelato mishap!)

    We just found your series on Italy specifically Florence and we love it. We are traveling there soon and will once again take your recommendations. Our mouths are watering! Your tips on Utah were awesome so I'm sure the ones about Italy will be too. You guys make every place you go look like so much fun. We have also been enjoying your vlogs about your trip to Alaska and the Yukon as well. We spent some time there a few years ago and it was cool to see all of the things that we missed. I guess we will have to go back! Thanks again for your tips and just your excitement about these wonderful places. Your mention about Phil's vlog was great very entertaining. We are excited about our trip and Places and Foods we Must Experience. Keep them coming.

    @@AdventuresofAplusK We just got back from our trip to Italy and your recommendations we spot on. We had a great visit to Montecatini and then traveled to Florence. It is a Beautiful city and we saw so many amazing sights. Our lunches at All' Antico Vinaio were great one day a 40 minute line but the second day was without a line! It was raining so we were lucky. We booked our museum tickets ahead of time and were able to walk right in. We also toured Cinque Terra and that is also an amazing place. If you haven't gone there add it to your itinerary on your next trip. Thanks Again!

We will have one day in Rome before setting sail. Once back, we are headed to Florence for another 7 days. We came across your videos while looking for "Things to do/see while in Florence/Rome." During your visits around Florence/Rome, you made several stops. In any of your videos, do you list these places you spotted for food, gelato, etc? Keep the videos coming and maybe add a trip to Myrtle Beach SC?

    What an ignorant comment. Just because you are unhappy with your own life don't spread negativity on theirs. Both of them are well educated and grind to afford travel luxuries. They also do it on a budget and NEVER endugle in luxury while travelling. If you watched their videos you'd know that pricing and budgeting is always in their mind. They have also given up traditional home ownership and live out of a van to afford their passion which is travel. Give your head a shake
