Jenna Birmingham's lyrical voice

Jenna Birmingham's lyrical voice adds to the magical charm of Florence and the many place in which one might immerse themselves while visiting. Every place Ms. Birmingham describes comes to life and charms the traveler to want to spend their whole vacation in that one city rather than in the usual trio of Rome, Venice and Florence. That voice is a hidden gift to Florence and brings more life to that ancient city than just the written words in a travel guide.
