Creator's Key Takeaways

I don't think words can describe or I don't think this video does justice to just how absolutely incredible this place is.

Marseilles has the worst traffic of anywhere I have been in the world.

It was really amazing. You can see the port from up here uh leaving outside of St. Michael's Cave.

It was incredible to see it. This is the original one there.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be careful of scams in Florence where people lay art on the ground to trick tourists into stepping on it.
If you have time, explore the World War II tunnels in Gibraltar without an excursion for more free time.
