[@sharri7069]

My husband and I went to Italy in May. We spent our 30 th wedding anniversary in Venice. Such a beautiful city.congratulations on 10 years.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Congratulations on 30!! 🥳❤️

[@thebeautybomb]

Ditto absolutely love this city. Congrats on 10 yrs.🇬🇧

[@bartolobartolotti4974]

The Italian parliament is approving a law to place tighter restrictions on Airbnb and other short-term rental platforms in Venice (the city is considered a special spot of national interest). The law states that rentals were driving people out of historical centre of Venice because the cost of renting is rising all the time. Other major European cities, including Barcelona, Paris, Amsterdam and Prague, have taken significant steps to combat what they deem to be “overtourism” by restricting or even banning rentals in certain neighbourhoods, with some locals claiming that they are being marginalised from city centres due to rising rent prices. I hope Venice will return to be a "real" city in the future.

[@kvlaeminck2091]

Agree, plenty of nice hotels to stay at!!

[@AnAlbertaGirlAtHeart]

I love your travel videos. You’re doing a bang up job. Informative, entertaining and great choices of scenery. I’ve said on a past video and I’ll say it again… You just might have to make a travel channel or at least make travel a frequent part of your content. Your American travels have been good but your travels abroad are great 👍

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Thank you so much!! It truly is one of my greatest passions and I feel so lucky to get the opportunity to travel and share it with you! 🥰

[@eroy299]

Absolutely AGREE!!!! I mean the videography is so professional looking too! And all of the content is so good.

[@LindySellsHomes]

My eyes never blinked trying to take in every sight you shared. What a wonderful trip of a lifetime. Thank you so very much for making these videos for us to experience.

[@guadalupeknippen528]

This has got to be my favorite video of your trip so far. I found my mouth dropping open and gasping at the beautiful scenery of the city. Another fantastic moment was the first blown glass shop you entered, there was a black chandelier that was memorizing. The colorful cat drawing on the wall would make a wonderful print. I would definitely buy one. On top of all that, the glorious moon. I never thought much about going to Venice but now it will be on my list of cities to visit and explore. Thank you, thank you for taking us along. The manner in which you filmed your walks around the city made me feel like I was right next to you. This is a video that I will keep and look at again many times. You've made my evening very special. 🐞🌻🐕🇺🇸

[@josephinerunci6052]

I was in Milan 1 week ago.... glad you had such a great time in my country and that you love it so much. Even though Venice and florence are nice cities, although in all honesty a little overrated and mainstream, next time you come to Italy make sure to visit other places like Turin or Emilia Romagna, Naples, Sardinia or Sicily...you won't regret it. Maybe one day I'll manage to visit your country...thanx for sharing😘

[@lindak7499]

Also Assisi and Siena!!!!

[@LindaKayHolevas]

Wow! The Murano glass factory was insanely beautiful! I could have spent an entire day in there! Thanks for giving us a quick peek. I've been looking forward to this video & you did not disappoint! Venice looks amazing & the food looks even better. I'm always hungry after I watch one of your travel videos, lol. Thank you for sharing, as always. 🤗

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Murano is a must if your in Venice! We spent about 6 hours on the island and easily could have been there all day!

[@evettewalker1133]

Oh my I was hoping that while in Venice you would go to the Morano glass factory. You never disappoint me. I'm really enjoying this video thank you for sharing Shalom 🕊

[@brookeperk93]

Be still my heart. Every second of this venice footage was so dreamy

[@sararinckel]

Italy is #1 on my travel bucket list! This is the best travel video I’ve seen, and just makes me want to visit even more.

[@lindak7499]

Thank you for bringing back memories for me when I was there 12 years ago. Never got to Murano, but did go to Burano where they make lace. It was really nice.

[@katem3961]

I think this was absolutely wonderful Laura. You mentioned the expensive of food in some countries, I agree and is something worth mentioning for first time travellers. Factor food cost into your spending money! I'm sure there are ways to reduce this cost but it's worth considering. My best friend and I travelled to Vietnam, food was very inexpensive but we made sure breakfast was included in our hotel stays. Thank you for a great virtual holiday with you and Jesse. Your camera work is the best Laura 😊💗

[@valerieblouch5409]

Back in the day we took our two kids to England on a shoestring budget. I packed a huge jar of peanut butter in my checked luggage and we PB and J'd our way through the trip!!🎉🎉🎉

[@marianacaffaro]

If you go to Airbnb, you can shop in a supermarket and cook your own food for a lot cheaper

[@Holambrart]

Hello, the food can be expensive but there are also cheaper restaurants. In Europe, food on terraces is always more expensive and is generally more popular with tourists. I have little money, so when I travel, I always try to eat outside of the tourist crowd and look for places where people from the city frequent. ;-) When I travel, I always have a hot meal at night, during the day I try local snacks and I also often buy things at the supermarket to eat and drink

[@janetduncan3243]

What an amazing city! So hard to believe how old it is and still able to be used and loved. We have a lot to learn.

[@debiogle3798]

we just moved back to the states after 7 yrs in Italy 🇮🇹 thanks for the memories we walking the streets in Milan Venice and I hoped you enjoyed Florence as well. We lived 4 yrs in Milano and 3 yrs in Florence . We have been to Venice at least 4 times. Our hearts are still there.

[@suecorliss2874]

We could not wait for this video. My husband kept saying did we Miss it? We went back to look at Older videos. It was worth waiting for, we loved Itlay. 😍 thank you 😊 Jesse & Laura

[@tinkatude77]

The countryside is just spectacular ❤

[@barstowe55]

I'm trying my best not to be envious. What a dream vacation and shopping!

[@veronicasalazar-garcia5299]

Great camera work on the food shots. Everything looked so delicious.

[@sharongillis4531]

Venice is just as fascinating as l remember in 2011 then 2018. Laura you captured the essence & beauty in abundance.St marks Square early in the morning is breathtaking & the many bridges amazing.I had to pinch myself to think l walked the same streets as Casanova centuries ago.The gondola ride was magical & will await your return.Happy 10th Anniversary to both you & Jesse,we have just celebrated our 44th.Thank you so much for the memories.👏👏♥️

Hi Laura and Jessie. I loved your Vience trip and see all the glass at the factory. The whole trip was amazing to watch.

[@lindafaierson6030]

Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. You can be a tour guide. You are so organized , good taste and a good teacher of travels.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Thanks! Hope to be in a way down the road 😉 Hehe stay tuned for that…

[@marybrand8269]

I love Venice. My parents honeymooned there in 1949. I visited twice when he was in the military. Such a wonderful place on earth. Murano glass is my obsession. Also, religious artifacts. I can tell you enjoyed your trip.

[@cathlynmosby2216]

Wow Laura! You surprised me with your choice of Murano glass. Never with your love of color did I think you would have picked a mat black! Happy you had a fabulous time in Venice! Ciao Bella!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

It spoke to me! Also the it was the back story ❤️ It was made by the shop owners father and it felt so special to buy something her father made 🥰

[@susansmith8942]

WOW! Beautiful there. The city looks so clean too. Thanks for the tour.

[@leftcoastrevivals]

The locals do a wonderful job keeping the city clean! I can’t imagine cleaning up after tourists.

[@dawnmazarati3301]

I spent two summers in Italy. Florence was my home base, and holds a special place in my heart. ❤❤❤

[@janetking4826]

Laura, thank you for taking me places I will never go. I felt and saw everything in such beauty with your filming and music. I felt like I was there with you.

LAURA AND JESSE WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VACATION THANKS FOR SHARING WITH US I LOVE IT🥰❤🦋🦋🦋🌻🌻🌻🐝

[@angelashdesignsandthrift517]

Thank you so very much for sharing your vacation with us. I think sometimes it will be the only way I’ll ever see these places. My husband and I celebrate 20 years in September but I have not been able to get away since we’ve been married. Really hoping in the future will be able to do this we are both Italian and would love to go soak in the history of the city maybe I would feel like I was home…? congrats to you both on your anniversary!!!

[@nancychestnut8928]

I could like this a thousand times. I've been to Venice three times and recognize your locations. I found an oil painting in Pasadena (!) Of the Venice art museum, one of my treasures. Thanks for this. Glad you had such a good time.

[@blueridgecurations6111]

I was there 8 years ago...I so much enjoyed seeing it again through your eyes. I love both Venice and Florence so I can't wait to see your Florence video. Congrats on your 10th Anniversary!

[@korean_foot_traveler8655]

What a wonderful city. I enjoyed a variety of beautiful scenes in this video. I love it.❤😀👍👍

[@heathermullen8647]

The hand holding the banister is very popular. I saw many in Croatia. And loved all of them. I'm sad that your trip is close to ending. Loved every minute..

[@pattijahn6511]

Beautiful tour video Laura. Enjoyed everyplace you shared. Italy vs was my favorite. So historical, full of beauty. TFS! God bless you and your family l. Have a safe trip back home. Hugs!!!

Laura you are so lucky to be in Venice.💜🌞 Murano glass is breathtaking beautiful❤

[@livintheretiredlife6713]

Laura, I have so enjoyed traveling along with you to these places I will never get to. Your video/camera skills are crazy good! I know it must take a lot of time getting the right shots and the editing must be quite a job. Please know your efforts are so so very much appreciated and your skills are not taken for granted. Thank you for sharing this excellent adventure!

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Thank you so much!! ❤️🥰 I truly love what I do and am so grateful for the encouragement and appreciation! ❤️

OMG...that just confirms my desire to go to Italy. It's been on my bucket list for years, but more than ever after watching your amazing videos.

I wish you would have an episode to show how you packed and what your wardrobe was like. Did you walk around with a carry on bag during your travels? Thank you for sharing all the sights!

[@deniseburgess.5082]

Thanks Laura, that was great 😊 the early mornings make a big difference. I was fortunate enough to visit Venice some years ago, I fell in love with its beauty. Would love to visit when carnival is on. 🎭looking forward to visiting Florence with you 🇮🇹

[@MultiDonna26]

That narrow street was pretty amazing! Love that you met up with your parents!:)

[@paulettedutcher2093]

I lived in southern Italy as a child (my Dad was military) and most multilevel buildings did not have lifts or elevators.

[@eroy299]

Laura I absolutely LOVE your videos and based on your videos have started my own "bucket list". Would you consider sharing your itinerary and plans or best places to stay and see for this 30day trip?

[@carolbarraza6767]

Thank you for sharing your Italy visit. We are going in October and you just got me even more excited! Thank you Laura!!

[@kimproffer695]

Venice sure does look romantic and so beautiful! Thank you for sharing Laura! 🥰

[@dorothyrobdau7365]

I loved seeing some of Venice through your lens; so much art, music and food everywhere. And something different, no cars! At least you had a couple of boat rides be it not gondolas. And oh the Murano glass in the fancy shops; all I could say is be still my heart. The making of the horse was special to see. I really enjoyed this video . Thanks Laura

[@pigoff123]

Love Italy. Went in high school a few times. Went to Spain too. Mostly stayed in Germany. Loved Trier Heidelburg an Rothenburg.

[@sharonmakowsky172]

What a great trip! So excited to watch this video! Can’t wait for the next one! Have fun!👍🥰💜

[@lisanester3338]

Awww. Your mom and dad are so sweet. Did Jesse like the gelato? And yeah, maybe he’s too cool for the gondola ride.😉

[@er66an]

Gondola rides are overrated. The best way to feel a city is by walking. I loved the narrow bridges and alleys in Venice . It is an over touristed city. The locals feel that they have been pushed out. Last time I was at a glass show was in Takoma Washington glass museum. Great place. Happy anniversary🥳

[@leftcoastrevivals]

Haha well the we did it right! We put in around 30 miles of walking in the 3 days there 😂

[@gailjordan9170]

Thank you for getting up so early. Your footage is remarkable.

[@marybethbush8614]

We just returned from Venice. We had the most amazing time and loved our Gondola ride. We had a guitarist and a singer on board with us and it was the most romantic thing I think my husband and I have ever done. We will be returning to Venice !

[@shelaghjackson9577]

So lovely to see Venice through new eyes! I’ve been there many times, and recognize individual buildings now. 🙂 Going back to Italy in the Fall......can’t wait! (That was a great rental apartment.......)

[@amyfinch9131]

I love Murano glass!… I pick them up whenever I can find them!… there is one other glass that I love picking up that’s hand blown glass is glassy baby’s and I found two from one thrift store at one time… 2.00 each and they are worth some money!

[@evie6304]

Thank you Laura for this…brought back all my memories of Italy….love the country so much, could never get enough….hope to go back soon….I married an Italian so my love for the country is true!

@@leftcoastrevivals Thank you so much Laura! Great advice and so much better for pretty photos and vlogs! I'm hoping that late September will be a little quieter but we shall see. If I get up early and stay up late I'd better take a good under-eye concealer for the bags under my eyes LOL 🤣🤩🥰

[@geribenter8115]

Totally loved this video. My favorite of all so far. Especially loved the Murano Glass. Gorgeous! I have an awesome horn-shaped piece that I thrifted for under $10. Obviously my favorite thing ever that I thrifted. Thank you for taking us along to see all of these wonderful places.

Morning Laura,when you were on the train it reminded me of Scotland ,thank you for taking us with you on these trips ,iv never been abroad so I can see where you go much love Ann uk 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@susanflores6483]

I’ve been enjoying your European shopping vacation videos, and I hope to one day go back a third time! I feel the need to make a comment in reference to something you said. No offense intended. The Milan Cathedral is not larger than St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. I’d also like to mention that thrifting in Eastern Europe is great. Poland, Slovenia, Lithuania, Croatia, etc. If you ever plan on getting back there, I’d like to suggest you go to Germany in December for the Christmas markets. IMHO Erfurt’s is the best. Overall Italy is the best overall. And read everything you can by Rick Steves. He made my European trips better and very inexpensive as well!

I loved the video, the only thing missing was the vintage shopping. lol In September I will go from Zürich to Italy too, but I will do it differently, I will go by train to Chur and from there I will take the Bernina Espress panoramic train to Tirano in Italy. From there I will go to Venice passing through Milano. I will stay in Venice for 5 nights and will also explore some cities around it. Loving watching the videos of your trip to Europe. I've lived in the Netherlands for several years, but I'm Brazilian. Kisses from Holland

[@antonellabassi3466]

So fun seeing you in my neck of the woods! Next time you are in Milan for a longer time I can bring you to my fave thrift shops. An interesting tidbit about the Duomo - for many years no building could be built in town that was higher than the gold Madonna statue on top of the Duomo. It was considered disrespectful. Only very recently things changed with the building of the new area at Porta Nuova (think glass skyscrapers). Back to watch - I love Venice!

[@michellepereira2328]
