Travel Tips & Tricks
Packing Pro Tips: Have comfortable shoes
When traveling it is important to keep in mind good footwear due to the amount of walking involved. We recommend having a pair of waterproof shoes, and a comfortable walking shoe. Our go to shoes for our walking tours are sneakers, loafers for dry days. For wet days an ankle high boot is a good choice. Checking the weather two or three days before departing gives you an idea on what kind of shoe to bring.

Delight your taste buds with our tips on savoring the best local flavors without missing out on any culinary delights during your travels.
This week’s favorite local spot comes from Rome, Italy. It is a local coffee shop right next to the Spanish Steps. Antico Caffè Greco is a coffee shop that offers fresh espresso and daily pastries. It is a great spot to enjoy a sit down dessert and coffee or just to take in the architecture of the place itself. We highly recommend getting their cannelloni filled with jam to try!
