I searched this sub, but most of the answers about tipping are (a) specific to dining (which I'm clear about) or (b) 1-4 years old.

We will be in Rome, Florence, and Venice for about a week before a cruise, and have booked (via travel agent) multiple drivers & tours. Should we tip either driver or tour guide, and if so, what's a reasonable amount? Is 5€ too much or too little? Most of our tours are half days, but drivers might be just someone who walks us from Florence train to our hotel.

(I have some euros left over from a prior trip, but mostly 20€, so I'd like to make sure I have small enough denominations before we leave.)

Thanks!

We will be in Florence two days (arrive about 2pm Sunday; leave 10am Tuesday [August 16-18 2026]). We have a scheduled walking tour Monday morning, so the only available times free are Sunday afternoon & Monday afternoon.

I'd like to go to the Uffizi, the Duomo, and Galleria dell'Academia, but only the Duomo is open Mondays. It does not look like we could do both Uffizi & Galleria in about 4 hours.

If you could only do one of those, would Uffizi be it? I suppose it's possible to do Galleria Tuesday morning - our hotel is about 1km away, but that seems like we'd be rushing through just to see David. (And the ticket prices seem high to rush through!) Have I answered my own question???

EDIT: Thanks everyone! I think I'm going with Uffizi on Sunday and Duomo on Monday.

Binge-watching this series. I've just suffered through the season 3 episodes and not liking the direction the show is going. (Don't need the undercover crap - I just want "normal" police calls. And I won't even get into the "defund the police" stuff.) Is there a reason to keep watching?

EDIT: Thanks! I'll start on season 4. (I guess I should assume if the show is still going in 2026 it MUST get better!)

I am currently traveling in the northeast. I have a certain program that airs daily that I DID watch the next day when I was in Boston (and got the message are you traveling? And I responded yes). The next day in Portland I only got the message that I was out of my home area. Back in Boston yesterday & same issue. Same thing today in New Hampshire. Program aired 5/12. Can I only tell it I'm traveling once, so all the other places I'm staying I'm SOL? I'm trying on my Android phone & Android tablet.

[It's not the end of the world; I'll be home again on Wednesday & can catch up - was just curious.]

I've been playing around with other apps today. I cannot find one app that lets me log my foods for each meal, log water, and link to my Fitbit.

This is what I found:

LoseIt: can only log water under the paid subscription (that's just nuts)

Cronometer: CAN log water, DOES link to Fitbit (but displays calories burned, not step count; no place to enter daily notes)

MacrosFirst: CAN log water; no link to Fitbit

MyNetDiary: must pay to link to Fitbit; can't find a place to log water

Anyone have any other suggestions? (However, if I have to learn a whole new app, I might as well just learn the new MFP which has all my meals, recipes, weights, etc., for the last 5 years.)
