Hey everyone! If any of you are headed to Venice, check out this new Venice tips video I just published with more specific advice :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hniZe5Vpe9V_mtE

Thank you for sharing ❤ you are very informative.

Love this lady - no dilly dallying - she gets to the point fast and always delivers relevant info👍🏻

[@AgendaInMind]

Yes, but it’s even better when you put it on .75 speed. She talks way too fast.

[@hippieloustudio]

I’m going on my first trip to Italy later this year and this video just relieved so much anxiety I’ve been having, thank you SO much for all the in depth info and tips !

[@EA-tx8ef]

Going to visit Italy for the first time (solo traveler, as always) next month -- can't wait!!! I appreciate these travel tips. Thank you.

[@gymfix]

How’s your trip as solo traveller

[@gymfix]

I’m planning also

Il tuo video mi ha fatto capire che, tante cose che credevo normali, non lo sono tanto... aperitivo, caffe al bancone, stare seduti al ristorante, fare passeggiate in centro x vedere le vetrine, mangiare in ordine le portate... però forte vedersi con gli occhi diversi. Un mio consiglio: godetevi la vacanza, state in un posto o due, non girate come pazzi x vedere tutto. Godetevi le piccole cose, il tempo di guardarsi in giro o in alto (tante cose splendide sono sugli edifici) e cercare sempre le iniziative di ogni comune, abbiamo tante fiere, tanti ritrovi, tanti concerti...tutto online Benvenuti a tutti.❤❤❤

Great job on this video Christina. Really well researched and presented, and the tips you gave, would make for a mostly hassle-free experience. Visitors can also look into special events that are happening during the time of their visit, and take advantage of those, especially in smaller villages. Wine festivals, or pasta making workshops, really get you to experience the culture from a grounded perspective, since you interact with the locals more, and get a better understanding of the local lifestyle. (Just my 2cents.)

[@RTD3]

I've been to Italy several times and going back next February.....you nailed it, BRAVO!

[@anastasiapreston-lu8hp]

Great information! Thank you so much. What sticks for me is when you talk about looking careful to when things are catered to tourists.

[@lydiakvlogs]

This is so helpful! I sent it to my husband and demanded he watch it ahead of our trip so he won't get too much of a culture shock. Thank you so much Christina :)

[@djb3057]

Can I just say. This video was executed perfectly. Now this is what you call a travel guide ! This is so helpful. Planning for our honeymoon trip and this made everything so much easier ! ❤Thank you!

Watching it in italy on my honeymoon!! It's amazing, but transportation is a little confusing and chaotic, I wish I had watched this video in advance haha

[@allyson1691]

I thought it was on 1.5x. Very informative and she expalined everything so fast. 😂

Yes, informative but too fast to get information.

[@cyberbron2024]

@@antoniotarantini1114 slow the video down

[@BillandJennTraveling]

I like the video! Is there a way to slow the video down?? Or is this your normal speaking because it's hard to follow. I kept having to go back and listen to it again and again.🙄 I see that a lot of other people have mentioned this as well, I know this video is one year old. I will have to check out your current videos to see if you're speaking the same speed that would prevent me from subscribing . Just FYI.😉🙂

[@e.5693]

Me too😂

[@reginafromrio]

Great tips!! Most comprehensive I've seen so far❤. I lived in Italy for 6 months with a family and they really didn't serve me that much food which was surprising and so I went to the local convenience store and they have food set out, just olives and munchies and it was free. ( I bought a beer so as not to be rude) Really helped me through the day.

I definitely want to go back and visit the lesser known areas I love hidden gems I'm not a crowds person definitely love traveling shoulder or off season I just worry about it raining a lot which I hate but overall Italy is a beautiful country.

Pamela, my wife and I are headed to Venice later this month and she is coming back by herself in late Sept. One of the things we want to do is take the train from Venice, to Florence and then onto Rome. Christina advise not to get the tickets at the train station, so where is the best place to buy them?

My husband and I love your videos and we are planning to go out on our own in August/September and he has just had knee replacement surgery. Do you have a video that would help us find less touristy areas and more slow paced for a couple of country bumpkins?

[@zZzJohnnyBoyzZz]

Hey Thanks for the tips! I'm beginning my travels this year im making sure to go to 2 places a year, my question is if I buy train tickets in advance do I have to know what time im gonna be on the train or they count for just 1 ride in general?

[@gmnewlook]

If you want your coffee at the bar, I learned that you ask for it "Al banco", and you'll pay around €1.50 instead of let's say €4 at a table inside or more on the terrace outside.
