Another taxi scam I experienced in Roma. I handed the driver three 20€ bills. Knew I was being overcharged, but … now I use the app. Then he quickly threw one 20€ bill aside and INSISTED I gave him a 5€ bill, not a 20€.. He displayed a 5 € bill he had stashed. I said no, but he was belligerent, and had our luggage in the truck.. He Threatened to call polizia. I swapped the 5 for another 20€ and called it a learning experience. NOW, I count the bills out into their hand! Proving what I had paid.

[@StayFabulousTL]

Insane. That's why I always recommend to use the app.

[@DTZ37]

Record with your phone giving driver the euro.

[@DiazGrimaldo]

Thank you for the tips I love it

[@StayFabulousTL]

Happy you found them useful :)

[@formasuperiore1670]

Nothing to add, correct all the way Fabulous. On top of that, very useful, for just about everyone, tourists to be more specific. As several things you pointed out so clearly or not generally known to the masses. 😉

[@vincentgijsbertse7384]

Thanks for the tips!! Great video

[@StayFabulousTL]

Thank you Vincent! Happy you found them useful!

[@lucyoa]

I love your videos and your tips! I'm vissiting Rome in June and i'd like to know if the application freenow still exists. Is it better and cheaper to use e-scooters?

[@sherrytolbird154]

Anastasia I’ll be there November 2023 if you want to be my friend and my tour guide shopping and eating with sight seeing

[@tinalettieri]

There is one rose guy here in Salerno on the Lungomare. He's selling. He doesn't force a "free" one on anyone. Why would anyone think he's giving them a gift? He's selling, I'm buying. My money, my pleasure.

[@spygamer2829]

i will go with my family in Rome in April. For sure ,i will follow all your tips. i still laughing at how you describe greeks . You are very accurate.Ha,ha,ha.

[@maddiedelvalle7327]

Great tips… thanks again!!!

[@StayFabulousTL]

You are so welcome!

[@bmrmamma]

Is taxi cab better than Uber still?

[@moriumrupali7662]

🙏..Thank you 🎉😂❤...

[@StayFabulousTL]

You got it!

[@spygamer2829]

Hi Anastasia. My name is Domna . Im from Greece. I like very much your videos. Bravo.

[@StayFabulousTL]

Hi Domna! Thank you. Sending much love to Greece. Cannot wait to be back!

[@Mmgallison]

Most recent reviews of the free now app the user says they were scammed. Some say they were charged cancelation fees when the driver actually canceled or the driver didn't show up. Do you still recommend this app?

[@StayFabulousTL]

Mindy, I use Free Now app all the time and never had an issue. But you can also try itTaxi. And you can now order a cab through the Uber app. So plenty of options :)

[@mariomario..]

I will be going in a few months and planned on using Uber because there is 7 in my group so I need a van to pick me up from Fiumicino airport and take me to Rome center. Is it very difficult to get a taxi van at the airport and would that be cheaper than the Uber van or does the taxi company not have vans at all?

[@StayFabulousTL]

Mario, you can definitely get a taxi or Uber van. Recently, the prices for both have being pretty much the same

[@mariomario..]

@@StayFabulousTL Thank you🙂

[@Mr.DMZ.]

I hate tipping. I love the idea of not tipping

[@27kendra27]

How do I get in contact with you??

[@StayFabulousTL]

You can send me an email to [e-mail]

[@mariomario..]

Is the drinking a capuccino and cornetto at the bar standing up just an adult thing or is it normal to see families with kids also? Just seems kind of odd to me.

[@StayFabulousTL]

You are right Mario. Usually, it's more for adults.

[@mariomario..]

@@StayFabulousTL Thats what I was thinking.

[@DTZ37]

It can cost more if you sit at a table. Most Italians have their morning coffee and Cornetto standing.

[@donnarivers226]

Very useful tips

[@StayFabulousTL]

Happy that you found them useful!

[@gshvedskaya]

hello. my husband and I are traveling to Italy this October. Our itinerary is from Milan to Naples and Rome.Pretty much all main places.I m planning to travel by train. Do you have useful tips for that, mainly tickets buying. Should I book in advance? Also, buying ticket to main attraction in Rome. Thank you. By the way, I speak Russian too!

[@StayFabulousTL]

Hi Galina! I made the entire video on the train system in Italy. Here is the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/faG9pYyHh8trj5o One thing I want to mention is that this year I would recommend to buy tickets in advance. You can buy tickets to all the main attractions in Rome on their websites. Have a wonderful trip!

[@houseofmazel5414]

very informative

[@StayFabulousTL]

Thank you!

[@Emma-li8cy]

Hi can you drink water from the tap in Italy?

[@StayFabulousTL]

Yes! Tap water in the major cities and towns around Italy is safe for consumption, and there are thousands of water fountains around cities, like Rome, where you can fill up water bottles.
