The only way I can go to any of these destinations is through your videos, so thank you. However, my dream wish list as grown considerably. 🙂

[@keanenbraaf711]

I love the way you dress, relaxed yet casually stylish

[@Loupadron2010]

An outstanding video of Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo in Taormina, Sicily, Italy. No terrible narratives, no popping in and out of the video. Just beautifully filmed. Thank you very much.

[@jhy2kmoney]

We were in Sicily in the late 90 for six months , we love it every minute.

[@rosepelzel4244]

Oh! my! Yes!!!! Perfection! I even loved the painting of the woman hanging laundry that was in the lobby. Gardens to die for! And, flowers!!! Breakfast looked absolutely wonderful! Eggs Benedict ..... who knew???! Lol! Splendid panorama and a lovely village. Yes, please!! Once again, thank you for taking us along!!

[@bulufish8208]

We have been around the world 🌎 without being on a plane. Thank you 😊 and be safe 🙏.

[@robyoungquist5803]

❤️ the music of Steven Gutheinz ... whimsical yet peaceful. Perfect selection for the opening of this presentation. 👍🏻. You’ve really mastered the art of balanced cinematography IMHO. Well done as always.

[@cochyr]

It is always so pleasant to watch your videos and discover incredible places - some of them maybe to stay one day, others to dream awake - especially in these times of (re-)confinement. The beauty of the natural settings, the way the places have been arranged in various styles but always with taste, the way you film all this, together with the relaxing music, it all makes it a moment of pleasure and serenity. Thank you very much.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thank you for your kind comment

[@niceguy3983]

Love Belmond hotels, they're all so iconic 🌹♥️

[@vivianepilou2211]

I love the place ! In my next life when I will be rich and the pandemic is over, i think I will settle down there for the winter time enjoying the views, the magnificent hotel, the village,, the roman ruins and last but not least the wonderfull italian cuisine. Your great travel report gave me something to look forward lol

[@pegadinhasevideoscassetada8800]

Hello, i'm from Braziil and i just got to know your channel but i'm already, marathon congratulatinos for your vídeos, i like it.

[@daddo10]

As a local from there, thank you very much for sharing your impressions of Taormina and the Grand Hotel Timeo! We know the luxury and prestige of the place, even if most of Sicilians have never tried it! Would love to spend some nights in there and experience the amazing service myself! (only strange thing, again as a local... the price of a "Pasta a la Norma"... 28€ would make any sicilian Nonna and Mamma go crazy ahah)

[@darcimunday4410]

I have read quite a few comments below this amazing travel tour. The Travel Expert is the best in the world doing these travel tours from all over the world. He reminds me of this guy Enes Yilamar that does amazing house tours he's the best in the world doing house tours all over the world. And exspecailly here in America where he lives in the state of California. He's perfect for doing house tours. And the Travel Expert here doing this travel tour in his video he puts on KZbin. Is simply the best in the world.

[@spaniard.]

Amazing video as always! Thanks for sharing! 👏👏👏

[@MrMatt1138]

Almost feel the warmth and wonderful smells of these gardens and grounds. Incredible suits as well!

[@lovetrianni5498]

Thank you so much for your weekly videos - they help me forget about this craziness, at least for a little while, going on in this world right now.

[@leslieseale9761]

Thank you So much for bringing back memories of one of the two best places I’ve ever stayed. Your videos are the best I’ve seen, no useless chatter, beautifully filmed, gentle music, you allow the scenes to be foremost. My experience, we had booked an Airbnb apt in Catania, while the apt was great the host was awful. To have a break from that, we booked a small hotel in Taormina, there decent service awful room. Walking back from the Greek theater I noticed this beautiful building, walked into the lobby and spoke to the kind desk person, telling her ,my story of other lodging. I asked to see a suite (she upgraded us) and was enthralled truly. We left our things in Catania and stayed here for the rest of the week. The service, food, gifts left in our room, the views, the amazing bathroom, light etc were nothing short of -- fill in the blanks wonderful. We then took their complimentary limo to the Catania apt to pack up for our next leg in Sicily. Here’s the best part, re Belmond, the next day I received an email from the CEO of the company, asking for feedback. I specifically named two outstanding people, one the young woman desk clerk. The next day I received an email from her, thanking me profusely for my review, and what it meant to her. That’s Impeccable service. I’ve since stayed at 2 other Belmond’s Macchu Picchu and Charleston, both great properties but not the Timeo. They also bought the famed Copacabana Palace in Rio. Also thank you for the hotels history, I had no idea such luminaries stayed there; but it makes total sense. Love your vids, from a new subscriber.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Thx for your kind comment and subscription

[@hopekatz2725]

Your Vlogs give me hope during this very uncertain time. Kept up the good work and God Bless You!

[@ericl6333]

The music, filming sequence are simply awesome and breathtaking. I look forward and enjoy your videos very much Sir. Thank you for showing us so many beautiful places in this world

[@fabienneroure9995]

I always enjoy your beautiful travel videos! Thank you and best wishes!🌍🌎🌏

[@lb42]

Miss Italy, miss Sicily, Taormina and Catania especially. Fantastic drone footage, amazing video as usual, but when it comes to Italy, Sicilia meravigliosa , it touches my heart deeply ♥️🇮🇹👍😊 I hope you're fine, take care 🙏🤗

[@dermudejoe4386]

The perfect mix of culture, nature and luxury. Just fantastic!

[@shrutidusaj4132]

We were in Taormina and the Etna region just last month. Sicily is a dream. Perhaps my favourite place in the world. Didn’t stay at the Timeo but maybe next time.

[@sandraddisneydoll4757]

LOOOOOOVED THIS VIDEO WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE XOXOXO.

[@jkbutnotreally]

Another great video, as good as any. The history of the hotel makes this extremely interesting for me.

[@mananacts]

Wonderful property! Even Belmond hotel caruso is mind blowing! Best of the views of amalfi coast..

[@RosaPfeffer1]

This is so wonderful Peaceful like to spend my last days there..

I can honestly say you are the best tourism channel I know! The music, the images, the kind and instructive comments... your videos are as luxury as the paradises you visit!

hello friend, Waiting your new video!

[@heatherrusso9330]

I did not stay at this hotel. But I have been to this beautiful little town! We stayed at Capo Taormina and had the most amazing experience there. It was simply the most beautiful hotel I'd ever stayed in. And I fell in love with Taormina.

[@fabienneroure9995]

Wow at 14:14 magnificent!🌴🌺🌸

Gorgeous hotel in one of my favorite Italian cities. Cannot wait to return when travels resume.

[@kelumjayasingheofficial4047]

Lovely place and your videos too! All the best 👍🏻

[@vatsalasampat895]

Hey doc. Missed watching your vlogs. Italy is the only country I visited on the European continent. It was last May. Someone rightly said that I had raised my bar by seeing Italy first. I truly think it is a slice of heaven. I fell in love with the mediterranean vegetation. Imagine having dinner gazing at the active volcano Mount Etna. The view of the Ionian Sea is astounding. I adore the way you film the ambient sounds. In this clip the crunch crunch sound of gravel and the pleasant twitter of birds were so appealing. I am sure to go to Sicily on my next visit to Italy. It is worth going back several times.

[@toddmo1]

Another destination to add to my bucket list. The hotel and scenery is spectacular!

[@chrisandana7927]

Hey!:) We have also been too Taormina in July '20, loved it! Highly recommend :)

[@haneen7618]

Super wow wow that's

[@6falconsue]

The Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo is absolutely gorgeous, although I'm not sure about waking up to the view of an active volcano! I guess it's good that Mt Etna is letting off steam :) Prettiest eggs bene ever! The gardens were beautiful, and your suite was sweet! Love the old world charm of Italy and hope to return someday. I will be looking forward to more videos to brighten my days during the winter months.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I hope all is well in California! Here in Europe we’ve started lockdown nr 2

[@travelandbeyonds]

Its so hard to believe you dont use a gimble... U have some steady hands. As usual.. amazing video. The daylight shots were amazing. I have never seen such greenery in/aroung a hotel.

[@ianhamilton396]

Wonderfully beautiful video as usual, looking forward to the review. Interesting fun facts; Some integrated Group branding in your suite with the Acqua di Parma, also owned by LVMH, and....... Somewhat surprising to me, the Super Model Natalia Vodianova is married to Antoine Arnault, son of Bernard and Chairman of LVMH. In 2020, Ms Vodianova is a brand ambassador sponsor with Maxx Royal Hotels in Turkey not owned by the Arnault family.

[@wasabi1m]

If I have ONE complaint of all your videos…could you please let us know the month you visited each hotel?

[@rikspector]

I watch Pro Walk Tours which is based primarily in Italy, he walks or bikes around specific cities . Italy has to be one of the most beautiful countries in the world and you both compliment each other. I love what you do, but feel masochistic watching because I know I'll never be able to see them other than this way. It's better than nothing, but sometimes I wonder why I keep visiting, it a siren song:) Cheers, Rik Spector

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I watch Pro Walk Tours as well ;-)

Which is the music when ur having dinner please share with me that music, I watch ur videos because of music also.please share, I’m a big fan or ur channel, when u come to India wish to meet with u sir

[@semsemeini7905]

Visited this hotel. I think it's probably the nicest in the village. But I also suggest staying down on the ocean and splitting one's stay.

[@malikzitouni9543]

Amazing video! What’s the name of the first song please?

[@Q...A]

I have started watching your channel recently and applaud you on your content. I was wondering are there hotels or resorts that you keep going back to because you are drawn to them? Secondly, are there any in which they might not have lived up to your expectations? I don't expect you to name any if they fall into the second question. Continue on with the excellent work and wonderful experiences you are sharing with us.

[@alsa470]

Why twin beds? Do you often travel alone or mostly with family/friends? Thanks again for the usual awesome dream hotel report! Stay safe.

Great video as always. What's your opinion of Belmond in general? We have not visited a Belmond property yet, but the brand is high on our list. Just seems like there's a special vibe about it. They also do amazing marketing videos, but would like to hear it from you.

[@fj5028]

Hey ! Haven't seen your videos in a while. Since lockdown actually. How has travel during these times been? What precautions are you taking? What can we do to make our travels safe now? Thanks!

[@luxurytravelexpert]

- Wear a face mask - Respect hygiene measures (e.g. washing hands) - Prioritize outdoor activities - Limit contacts as much as possible. - Social distancing of 2 m (6 ft) - Follow advise from the authorities
