Grata post and so encouraging for thee beginners! Kathryn and I took the plunge and visited Florence because it was easy to navigate in a short period of time. Why not share the best laugh: I used iphone for directions to the Academia..my goodness couldn't find the right streets. It wasn't until late that afternoon that I realized I had my phone on car directions instead of walking. Yes, we are still friends. !! Bob & I working on Portugal ideas as we write. Take care.
Totally agree! Mostly we travel as you mention free form, booking our own accommodations, etc. But we also love an occasional Viking River Cruise that allows one to touch on various countries from a port’s perspective which is perfectly planned and allows more time for leisure.... or time for planning a return trip to the cities/countries that you want to experience more throughly at your own pace.
