[@heatherastbury4339]

I can't believe how much the kids are growing up xxxxxx

[@orlaithreilly8942]

My mam and dad got married in ROME 💖 💖 💖

[@emrocksie569]

Can we talk about how attractive the tour guide is???

[@animenerd96]

Emma Nicholson oh thank you someone commented about it! Thought I was the only one who thought he was attractive 😂

[@emrocksie569]

NightStar18 I checked for a wedding ring so hard I had to rewind to watch to see the vlog

[@finsfables]

Emma Nicholson omg I know right

[@ritamaew8451]

Yes!! I'm glad someone else said this! 😁.

[@christopheryoeurng3722]

Omg yess I was looking for someone else who thought this. Hes a whole damn meal and he's good with kids

[@melissaseng2561]

Your tour guide, John, was spectacular with your kids. I was truly impressed.

[@rebekkacoustic4329]

I love how John is explaining all these historical facts to the kids so that they understand it and actually are interested in it!

[@corgisandweims]

Wow! I never knew how Rome got its name! I haven’t heard that Romulus and Remus story, before! That was kind of cool to learn about. I bet the kids just had a blast with John as your tour guide! It seemed like he was so friendly and knowledgeable! What an exciting day you all had! Thanks, again, for sharing your adventures! God bless and hugs to everyone!☺️❤️

[@alexandriaedwards10]

So cool that they donate a large amount $$ from the fountains to charity! I once saw a fountain in a mall that people could “rent” to do fundraisers for (like 3 weeks and all the $ in the fountain was donated to that cause/organization). What a cool fact! This was one of my favorite videos so far! The history is intriguing and it looks like an amazing time.

[@StillJustDenise]

I have learned from Jess,that despite carrying one piece of luggage,you can still look sleek and well put together! I'd look like a hot mess!! I also learned that Rome's history is fascinating and I'm now inspired to learn more about it!!

[@BallingerFamily]

I bet you'd look great!!! I believe in you!

[@StillJustDenise]

@@BallingerFamily Aww, Grazie for the vote of confidence,you are too kind! And thank you for this series,it has been so very entertaining and informative!❤❤❤

[@thatpiscesgal]

wow I want to go to Italy just to have him as my tour guide 😍😍😍

[@rebekahk199]

I am shocked by the amount of knowledge John has of Rome. I know it’s his job, but he has an incredible memory. Also, he’s adorable and great with children. I would be happy to go on a tour with this travel company!

[@fulcrum_frenchtoast6528]

As an art major who has taken art history classes, this video is amazing! So many of the buildings you visited we discussed in my class! Thanks for taking the time to document your trip!!

[@velvetypebbles6987]

I'm actually really amazed that the tour guide is so good with children. Like the way he talks to them on their eye level. This is something tour companies around the world has to have because its not just about talking/explaining the sites... its about engaging. Good job LivItaly.

[@sophiascoggin957]

OMG YOU’RE AT THE LIZZIE MCGUIRE FOUNTAIN😍

[@sophiascoggin957]

When Lizzie McGuire went to Rome, she made a wish for the best summer ever. I’ve always wanted to go to that fountain and make a wish! It’s crazy they get $5,000 a day from it

[@mariacarter8287]

after this video, I've learned so much about Italy and Rome and want to go there even more!! Thank you guys for making me learn about eurpoe and the culture there in such an interesting way that i want to learn more!! You guys taught me more about this then i ever did in school! I cant wait to go some day

[@beckyrose962]

I am only half way through and I am in total awe. What a fantastic opportunity to learn about the history of Italy. I put off going to cities like this as I have conditions that affect my ability to walk. I never thought about looking into other types of tours... This is intimate and personal, you are seeing so much and what an amazing tour guide, so engaging. You guys are so blessed.

[@riddhiandurkar1812]

From your trip overall, I learned that I NEED to plan a trip to Europe like now.

It’s insane how that baby really understand’s everything you’re saying. Peace 💜

[@mjkimmel3129]

That looking through a hole was my favorite part! I absolutely love how I feel like I’m experiencing this too!

[@riddhiandurkar1812]

Out of all the people I subscribe to, you guys are the only ones I watch daily

[@fragilefleur]

your tour guide was incredible. He did a great job with the kids and the tour. Great job and cool tour. Sounds like an incredible day and going by golf cart is cool too so you can get around but still see and experience the streets without wearing yourselves out entirely.

[@LivTours]

Amy Tinsky Thanks!

[@chaz12582]

I learned that sculptures can tell you about the interactions between the artists! And St. Agnes can throw shade 😝

[@LivTours]

Cassandra Szmajda One of our favorite Piazza Navona facts!

[@Thatsweetsari]

Oh my goodness! The tour guide is so knowledgeable and great with the kids! Plus he is so handsome and beautiful to look at!

[@VictoryaMartynovych]

It's amazing how open, accepting and good sports you are in a country so different from yours. What you said about expectations actually taught me something. I'm leaving in a couple of months to go study in another country's university for a few month and i was freaking out a little because it's gonna be so so so different. But seeing you being perfectly fine taught me that it's all about my attitude and i will be fine if i want to.

[@lottie8522]

Thank you so much for a comment on the accessibility of the city! It's something I crave from so many travel vloggers that I'm subscribed to, and it helps me plan trips and holidays! Amazing!

[@viviannedominguez-campos4702]

There Tour guy is such a wonderful help and patience with the kids it’s adorable ❤️

[@Lozzalo66]

We get the hail in England as well! It often comes on really unexpected on the weirdest weather days! The plus is they usually don’t last long and things go back to normal

[@ivymay6178]

I love seeing your kids get so excited about the hail and you guys saying you’ve never seen hail like that before!!! I forget how warm California is - in England it’s pretty normal!!!

[@cEcJr17]

Dear Ballinger Family, I'm LOVING your videos. Even at my age, I'm learning so much. Thank you for sharing. xo

[@kyleighhiles9733]

Your tour guide is amazing! Love the way he was engaging the kids the whole time. What an awesome field trip. Thank you for sharing these experiences with us!

[@LivTours]

Smiley Kyleigh Thanks for the compliment about John!

[@leeuwtjeabc]

oh my goodness. memories... exactly 1 year ago, I was in Rome. Most amazing time ever

[@princessmeow3788]

It's absolutely amazing that you can educate your children in this way, so much love xx

[@SuperFrederiek]

watching old vlogs! This tour guide is one beautiful creature

[@karamiddleton1467]

This is literally the coolest thing EVER! I am so glad you are willing to share this with us!! Love y'all❤ EDIT: I forgot to mention that now going to Rome is on my bucket list!

[@ivymay6178]

You guys are such great parents!!! I am SO envious that I’ll never be like you!!!!!

[@candicegammage7048]

I can’t even imagine traveling with my 2 kids but you guys are traveling with 4? In one suitcase? You guys are super parents. Love these vlogs by the way.

[@daniellehollingshead997]

This tour company is awesome!

[@domesticgoddess1663]

I could totally see our family doing something like this so I’m glad you showed us!

[@Wuppetwoman1]

These are the best blogs ever! Love watching the kids discover new things and make the most of their adventure!!! Thanks for sharing your trip with us!!

[@alliej4393]

They were restoring the Trevi Fountain when I was there 4 years ago! I love the fountains for water. Also, my favorite gelato is around the corner from the Panthenon. I was 20 years old and spent 3 days in Rome completely on my own. It was an absolutely amazing experience. There is so much to do and see in Rome. I can't wait to go back some day!

[@sarahedits4666]

I live in Singapore, and all we get is lightning storms and heavy rains. NO SNOW, HAIL, OR ANYTHING EXCEPT RAIN AND SUN. I'm waiting for a day when I can go to a place where there's snow!! I love the Ballingers!

[@Flowers02859]

That John guy is fineeee😍👍🏼👍🏼

[@heatherastbury4339]

I love you so much and I can't believe that Duncan is walking around like parker can do cartwheels Jacob can do lego really good and Bailey can read so cute and growing up so fast xxxxx

[@orlaglynn5218]

I went to Rome last year in October and it was the best experience of my life so far. We went to the forum and the Colosseum and it was amazing. The churches were absolutely gorgeous. I just love the roman history and it's so interesting. It's so cool tat the kids get to experience this at an age where you love to learn! Love you guys x

[@MissChloeRhiannon96]

I learned that Americans get REALLY excited about rain, I love it 😍 I love rain myself and I'm so content when it's raining.

[@BallingerFamily]

*Californians. A lot of Americans are totally used to it -- Just not us!

[@laurenweaver6631]

I went to Italy on a choir trip 2 years ago so its exciting to relive those memories through your videos!! Love you guys!

[@leila-ec4zz]

Duncan is so adorable your so lucky to have him

[@emilysnider3952]

This was heaven! Thank you for sharing Europe with this poor student!

[@thafeeneedstohush]

I’m obsessed with this series!!! The kids look like they’re having a blast!!

[@daniprado-castro3695]

I am seriously enjoying these. So cute to see all of PBJandD milestones during this trip and their excitement. Hopefully one day I will get to give you all a hug! But for now a huuuuuge virtual hug.

[@santoshgosavi9651]

Whoa! I had no idea that the colosseum is so huge!! I love it!! I am learning new things about Europe every day!! I love you'll!!😘😘

[@jerahlaithe]

I do the same carbs dance as Duncan.

[@1fantasticartisticgirl390]

This was so so good and interesting and have to say John the tour guide was lovely .🥰

[@k.239]

The livechat/premiere thing is so cool, i really liked it!

[@karmelazoran3325]

Waaw, amazing amazing! I've already been to Rome and loved it, but will definitely go back with my kids, so this golf cart tours sounds amazing! I love how all the kids are so involved in story telling. Duncan is beyond adorable!!!

[@brookeallen9306]

I’m taking my second year of Latin this year and I’m so exited to see you guys teaching your kids about the amazing ancient Roman culture!

[@BertCCRI]

What an absolutely fabulous tour of the sights of Rome! So evocative and so educational. Thank you for bringing us along.

[@wheelie26]

That golf cart tour was amazing, you got to see so much in such a short space of time and to have someone who knows all the answers to your curious children’s questions was great and it took the pressure off of you two adults a bit. I was going to ask what you thought about Rome and the other cities you visited and wheelchair accessibility so was nicely surprised when you brought up the topic yourselves but I would appreciate any further info about what you think. Thanks for another great video, it looks like you all had a ball.

[@kmckissick4642]

Love Jessica’s storm energy

[@Jerseygrl23]

He was such a great tour guide! I was very impressed with him!! I need to go to Italy! 😍

[@LivTours]

Shannon Thanks for the kind words! We’ll be sure to tell John :)

[@ivoryrose3126]

Duncan watching enjoying his italian food was just funny and georges!!!

[@KisDraga]

I love the historical stories throughout! My friend showed me a graffiti carving Michelangelo did on the side of a building in Florence. its fun and interesting to think the ancients were competitive goofballs and that their jokes live on in their art

[@JAsparklefret7]

I never thought I could learn so much in a vlog and yet have so much fun! Thanks Ballinger fam!!!! And just have to commend Duncan's willingness to do just anything like going outside experiencing the hale!😂 He's as curious as his siblings and I just love that about him!!!!❤❤❤ More vlogs please🙏🙏🙏

[@the_ambracer]

That tour was such a lovely thing to watch.

[@erinstef29]

0:04-0:06 Duncan is me whenever I see food lol! I love the little wiggle dance he does! ☺️😂💕

[@jennifermccartney127]

My favorite is always "what we learned today" always cracks me up!

[@Mc1988-p1i]

I was surprised with a trip to Rome this year for my birthday and fell in love with the country! Learning more, in-depth information from you guys has just bought back amazing memories and made me realise how quickly I want to go back :) I will 100% be checking out the tour you guys used!!

[@untamedkiwi3217]

I'm really late. But this is so cool to watch! I was in Rome a month ago and went to all the places you did in this video but walking. We did it in about 5 hours with a stop for dinner so it is entirely possible to walk it but obviously it would take longer with the kids. I miss it! Watching these I wish I had filmed more of it.

[@mago82]

It's nice to see all the places where I have been several times. I love Rome.

[@PrevaiLingArt]

More Bailey please. I love her views on things! More Jacob too!

[@kirstiebrown3177]

As someone who did walk it and saw everything you guys did plus more I can tell you that walking Rome was the best experience ever. However, buy good quality shoes (I had cheap sandals that cut and destroyed my feet) and make sure you have a couple days when you get home just to sleep cause ITS EXHAUSTING!!! But if anyone is thinking about walking it and wondering. If it’s worth it... YES!!!! DO IT!!!

[@riddhiandurkar1812]

I'm so glad my first class is at noon tomorrow so I can focus on your live chat for the beginning of my day

[@terrijdunn]

I went to Italy over the summer and I love learning more! I actually sat on the steps of The Pantheon and ate gelato. I loved going to Italy and I hope you guys did too!

[@Michelle_Lynn210]

I just recently found your channel and am super shocked at how many different things your children order or try from the menu. Frog legs, salmon etc., things that most kids wouldn't dare to try...very impressive and even more impressive that most of the time they say its good and they actually like it. Your family is adorable. Thanks for sharing your adventure to France, Italy etc with us...I wish some day to be able to take a vacation there but sadly I doubt it will ever happen unless I make it happen... I am scared to fly...haha maybe someday I will get brave and go on a short flight somewhere close by and then maybe that will lessen my fear and I will be able to fly a longer trip to France or wherever. Anyhow thanks for sharing your adventure, atleast if I never get to go there myself, I at least got to see it from videos. :)

[@brandonanderson510]

Really enjoyed this, watched as a family. Thank you for sharing

[@kaylaslone5965]

Loved the kids reaction to the hail

[@jessicasmith1611]

I love your family you’re kids are so cute and bayley is so beautiful

[@tregubabe]

Your kiddos are such adventurous eaters!! I’m 26 and I still don’t think I’d be brave enough to try some of those meals!

[@Kayla9261Musicxz]

John is an attractive and smart af man, I am deciding moving to Rome lol 😂😂😂

[@bradymarie8160]

Just went to Rome and Italy myself and I love to see all of the places I visited too!! Awesome video! Makes me miss when I was there 💙💙

[@barbarawalkowiak5763]

Thank you for this video, we are doing a golf cart tour next year and wondered how it actually was . It looks like it will be worth it . I can’t wait .

[@alimaschke]

This is really cool, I’m learning about Rome in history right now! So cool seeing everything in this video with my favorite family :)

[@territeschner-browning1801]

This is an amazing way to see Rome!! Wow!!

[@miayoung4830]

Omg this was adorable! I look forward to these vlogs every day!!! You guys are the cutest family❤️❤️❤️

I was in Rome for a day this summer. Gorgeous city, I really wish I had more time to see everything!

[@alexmal0ne]

I love this vlog....I went to Italy about 6 years ago and you just took me down memory lane ☺️

[@michelleridell4460]

I love Italy so much!! My favorite place is probably Venice, I also love Rome and it's so beautiful!!❤

[@CazPea]

Great film. A really lovely insight in to your Italy trip. I love Rome, although I prefer to go in the Autumn or Spring, as there are less tourists. Your children are so wonderful too 🌈

[@kristinwallace6551]

I love these travel vlogs! You guys had an amazing tour guide. I love ancient history, it is my favorite and I enjoy researching this kind of stuff on my own! My family is going to Rome next summer and I’m so excited to see all of the amazing history their!!! 👍🏻👋🏻

just watching Parker climb up the Spanish step makes me remember the time I tripped on the very last step of them

I watch a lot of KZbinrs but your is one out of 3 that I watch. I've watched since the beginning of your youtube career

[@emilygrace2439]

If your kids want to read an interesting series set in ancient Rome I read a series called The Roman Mysteries that's set in 80AD and it has lots of interesting facts in it included in the storyline

[@mistykh75]

Food so good it'll make ya dance! :) I learned a lot this episode. Thanks.

[@orlaighmcdonnell4833]

I went to rome with my school in March and it was so much fun the weather was always 30 degrees amazing place

[@rarr12345]

Good tip about having different expectations! It's so true because things are done differently over the world! I know the baby car seats don't have the chest strap here in the Uk because they've been found to cause major internal damage to babies organs and are actually deemed unsafe! And from my experience in Italy they are very lax about a lot of things. I was in Sicily earlier this month and there were young kids on the back of motorbikes without helmets on at about 11pm! That would not be okay over here but to them it's normal!
