I had a 100km+ taxi drive with Enzo. He drives very safe and is a nice person as well. He waited for me at the destination to help me finding the right person in charge.

Everything you want in a business; Easy to locate, quality scooters and professional/ genuine owner. I've rented scooters in Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Mexico, Bermuda, Spain & France. And this was the best experience by far. Smooth transaction and didn't even worry about the integrity of the owner in getting my refund. Prices were comparable, and the scooter didn't have break/engine issues. Helmet was good quality but also clean and almost new. Didn't smell bad. Would rent from here again!

We rented two ebikes with babyseat for a trip to radda in Chianti. The ride was very confortable and funny. Bikes are amazing. It's probably the best way to fully appreciate Chianti's landscape with a baby. Thanks to Alberto for suggestions on places to eat and drink. Absolutely not to be missed the sensorial path at the casa del chianti classico in Radda.

Como, the largest city in this region. Along the way we are regularly treated to beautiful views of small villages on the other side of the lake. The radiant sun makes it even more idyllic, but otherwise there is little to do in this region (at this time of year).

Throughout my travels I always try to visit a synagogue in every city. Unfortunately, with the world the way it is, it’s not always an easy task as synagogues are not always open. Thankfully, I had the opportunity to visit this large 19th century synagogue and museum while in Florence. As is to be expected at Jewish houses of worship, security is tight and very visible. I paid the 6.50 euro entrance fee and was free to explore. The synagogue itself is built in the traditional Sephardic layout with the bema (elevated platform) in the center. The women’s section located upstairs offers a commanding view over the entire synagogue interior. The stained glass windows that overlook the Ark (where the Torah scrolls are stored) are most beautiful. The upstairs museum (elevator available) is small but contains several important pieces of Judaica along with a history of the Florence Jewish community. From the garden you can see the remains of the ghetto walls. The history of this synagogue is both heartbreaking and inspiring. A Chabad and a vegetarian kosher restaurant are located adjacent to the synagogue.
