Streaty Food Tour Florence

Streaty Food Tour Florence

After doing a Streaty tour in Venice I was really keen to do another one in another of the cities they covered. Streaty have just started doing Food tours in Florence. So I was happy to be a part of the start of something, especially when it comes to food. This was a tour for me.  I met my…

Chianti Winery Tour

Chianti Wine Tour

Well of course I was going to do a wine tour in Chianti while in Tuscany. What a no brainer!! After getting lost trying to find the meeting point for this tour (it was a fair distance from the train station) I finally found my way to quite an organised set up. Quickly herded onto a big coach bus…

Florence Apartment The Bright Eyed Explorer

Florence Apartment

There was nothing I could find wrong with this place. Clean and filled with everything you need for an extended stay. The apartment is very secure with numerous locked entry points to the actual apartment.  Easy communication with the owner upon booking and with arrival with the owner’s mother whom was absolutely lovely. Armed with…

The Bright Eyed Explorer Parione One

Hotel in Florence

What a cute little place to stay. Loved it  Initially it is hard to find, as there is no signage until you walk into the small foyer. Even then it is confusing. For a while there I thought I was lost but admittedly I was early and the reception area wasn’t yet open.  The staff here are incredible. Very…

Venice Canals

Ca’ Due Leoni – Venice

Ca’ Due Leoni is old school Venice. Set in the Cannaregio area of Venice the hotel is about a 5 minute walk from the train station. Or in my case 20 minutes as I managed to get myself lost at every turn. The hotel is hidden away in a little courtyard which makes it nice and quiet, being away…

Streaty Venice Tour

Streaty food tour – Venice

This was my first, but not the last time using Streaty for a walking tour while in Italy. I found them on AirBnb experiences and thought that what they had to offer suited what I was looking for in Venice.  I chose to do the Venice food and wine evening tour which was hosted by a very knowledgeable local. Meeting point…
