I'll be heading to Rome in just 2 weeks, and I must say, this video has been the most useful and helpful one I've come across. Keep up the great work!

[@ItalyGuy]

Thank you so much my friend! Have a great trip!

[@mackers8878]

Out of all the Rome travel videos I have seen lately, this one has been so informative and practical, and this guy's other videos are very useful as well. Grazie !

[@ItalyGuy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RiniVlogsDilSe]

I am travelling to Rome in less than a month and really appreciate these tips :) Thanks a lot

[@armitatavakoli9711]

I'm moving to rome in 5 months and i'm obsessed with your videos🔥🔥🔥 thank you so much for such a great videos. Your content is amazing plz keep making more .🙌🙌🙌

[@ItalyGuy]

Thank you so much!!!

[@halethu6499]

Hi, can I buy the tickets a day earlier before using?

[@SUNSHINE-dm3le]

Free Now is awesome… they don’t rip you off …. the regular taxi not so good they like to rip you off they like to shut the meter off

[@ukgaldena]

Fantastic. This is my 1st time traveling in Italy, and I love to go prepared for wherever I go, so, you sharing this info is very informative. Thanks a bunch...

[@ItalyGuy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tanvirahmed-gl7tj]

What a helpful video it is! Thank you very much . Ur video gave me courage to solotravel in Italy .❤❤❤

[@sassarese4903]

I love Citymapper. It sounds like it is similar to Moovit. Used it in London, Barcelona, Lisbon, Washington, DC. Amazing for getting around the city. I have not used it in Italy yet, but am planning on using it there in 2024.

[@ItalyGuy]

Thanks for sharing!

[@agoshxyz]

Have you used it in Rome?

[@lolainma3218]

Where do s that passage way you went through? I have seen it in other videos and would like to find it. Thank you for this very informative video on helpful apps! I really enjoy you! It’s 4:15 am here in USA (East Coast) and you are my nighttime binge:)

[@ArunKumar-gr4bc]

Thank you for this great informative vlog. I am travelling to Rome next week. It appears that the TicketApp can be downloaded only when you are in Italy.😊.

[@shunchoi7591]

I think so too😢

[@superdivemaster]

I have gone to Roma only one Summer ... That's all it took to learn a valuable lesson ... like never go to Roma in the Summer !!!

[@anuppinto1987]

Thank god. I saw this video.. Thanks a lot for your valuable info as we are the first time visitors..

[@rosiesturgeon4103]

So happy I came across your videos. This will come in handy for our trip to Italy in August. Thank you so much!

[@robertevans4765]

Thanks. Good info, even for us, technically challenged folks.

[@Pr3ppie]

Love your video! 🤩I have a question - we initially plan to take the Leonardo Express Train from FCO Airport to our hotel near the Spanish Steps. This means we need to stop at Termini and change to Line A of the Metro from Termini to Spagna, which involves climbing up and down steps with our heavy luggage. Instead, we now intend to use the Uber app to take an Uber from the airport to our hotel near the Spanish Steps. Is it okay to take an Uber ride from the airport to our hotel near the Spanish Steps?

[@ItalyGuy]

I think it should be ok. But taxis are very expensive. I would recommend taking the train from the airport to termini, and take a taxi/Uber from the street outside termini to your hotel. This will save you tons of money

[@Pr3ppie]

@@ItalyGuy Ah, thanks for the reply. I like your suggestion. We will consider that option as well.

[@Mu93508]

Thank you your information was gratefully gratefully helpful

[@tomrox8921]

In Milan you don't need any app to use the metro, a normal bank card is enough.

[@josephstagnitto7832]

This is sooooooooooooo helpful!! Thank you Italy Guy. I was just using Google Maps but I'll get these next time I'm in Rome.

[@ItalyGuy]

Happy to help!

[@UMeWeTravels]

Great Vlog and very useful information, Me and my fiancee downloaded and used TicketAppy after we saw your vlog when we were in Rome a few weeks ago and it was a fantastic app to use when we used Bus and Metro thanks and big respect from Manchester, England 🇬🇧 👍

[@ItalyGuy]

That's amazing!!! So glad to hear!

[@halethu6499]

Hi, can I also print the tickets from Ticketappy? And can I buy the tickets a day earlier before using? Thank you

[@UMeWeTravels]

​@halethu6499 You can buy tickets from Tobacco shops but we used Ticketappy and its a digital ticket on your phone and make sure you activate before travelling

[@viktoriabalogh113]

​@@UMeWeTravels can i ask how u activate it? When u get on the bus you push some button in the app so the ticket is activated?

[@UMeWeTravels]

@viktoriabalogh113 when you're on the app after you buy your tickets go into the app and activate it then if they check your ticket on the bus you're fine and when using the metro you use the qr code on the app which the machine reads and gate will open

[@agotahorvath]

Brilliant ! This is helpful AF ! Thanks a million !

[@sreelakshmybrugunan6967]

Hai Visiting italy for the first time in a few days. Your video was great and helpfull I have two doubts 1.When you purchase ticket from train line, how should we validate it??. 2. Can one person take two tickets or separate phone is required to scan at the entrance

[@ItalyGuy]

Hey!! 1. No, the tickets are for a specific train on a specific time, so you will get a barcode for this train. No need to validate. 2. Yes, there is an option in the app to add another passenger and get two tickets from the same phone. I hope it helped!

[@ManuelEPerez-qk1tf]

Great video, Thank you!

[@aceace5457]

ill be coming to rome but am disabled so any clues would be great especially when you can not walk .

Thanks so much! Great advice. ❤

[@ronaldschmuck9627]

Excellent tips that I will use. I wish you could do a quick video on how and where you store information on your smart phone., Many Thanks Ron Canada

[@ItalyGuy]

Hey Ron! Thank you so much. Can you explain your question? I usually just use Google Maps and I save there my favorite destinations.

[@ttopero]

I almost wonder how I got around Italy 20 years ago without these apps!

[@marilynvillegas4698]

You probably got lost a lot

[@mharrisona5526]

Thanks so much for the information on the subway app. As you said, I searched online but had never found it. I prefer the app to having my credit card out for tap and go. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank u for the video! Any recommendation for booking museum tickets with free cancelation in Italy?

[@jessied4210]

TrainPAl offers that service! I am a frequent buyer and gots promoted train cards. Life saver!

[@TheDjuku]

By coincidence I stumbled on your video. Informative. Heard about several of them but no need yet to use them. Question about trainline. What is the benefit in using Trainline instead of Trenitalia app ?

[@ItalyGuy]

Italy has several train companies and they compete with each other. If you're using Trenitalia app you don't see other options.

[@lesliegoa]

Also does not Trainline takes a 3.5 € commission on ticket sale?

[@adventurevin7600]

Great info I haven't seen yet. Thanks!

[@ItalyGuy]

You bet!

[@happymomma487]

What a great video. Thank you. My family of 5 will be in Rome soon. What would be the best option to travel in the evening after dinner from for 5 people?

[@ItalyGuy]

Hey, thank you! It really depends on your route, but bus or metro are great and safe options.

[@rhee_it1839]

thx for the great info. any recommendation for portable wifi rental device while in Rome?

[@ItalyGuy]

Hey! I think the best strategy is to go to any TIM cellular shop and get a sim card with internet - it's super cheap! If your device has a double sim, it will work perfectly. If not, you can use an old phone, and then use it's 'WIFI hotspot' option to create your own cheap Wi-Fi device!

[@nancygonzalez6788]

Thank you! Awesome

[@peekaboooooooo]

You recommend Italo Treno? I'm going to Europe for my first time ever and I'm going to Italy. I found Italo Treno to have cheaper prices than Trenitalia for trains. So I booked all my train travel already for September/October with Italo Treno.

[@ItalyGuy]

Hey, yes, Italo is great!

[@pedrooswald]

Thank you! You saved my vacations!

Thank you so much for the information! Will be very useful for our trip in October! Can you recommend a cell phone company that I can buy a SIM card from and would you happen to know how much they cost??? Thank you so much again!!! :)))

[@ItalyGuy]

Yes, I recommend 'TIM', very cheap prices. You will find there stores everywhere.

[@icarus1052]

For ticketappy,is ticket we bought valid for other vehicles as normal tickets is?

[@ItalyGuy]

yes.

[@SweetsRN]

Great tips!!!

[@zobeida0]

We are going to Italy soon and we will be visiting several cities one is Rome and then we will be moving to Naples staying there for 3 days then go to Venice. You recommended Itabus and Fixbus app for cheep tickets. I was wondering if in that app we can get tickets for the fast train.? Or they are only busses? Because I have watched videos that say that cheep tickets are for trains with no air conditioner. Is it true? We are going in July when is very hot. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you!

[@ItalyGuy]

Hey! I think for cheap train tickets you should use Trainline. Regarding AC - I don't think there's correlation between ticket price and AC. Tickets prices vary mainly according to supply and demand, and the length of the trip. I think most trains now have AC, but I'm not sure about it.

[@zobeida0]

@@ItalyGuy thanks so much. Your video is very helpful

[@gerardtran84]

Thanks for the tips :)

[@MonkeManCan]

Thank you for this. First time heading to Rome. Have been taking Babble Italian. Won’t be proficient before my trip. Want to b polite and show that at least I’m trying. Would u say that English is widely spoken?

[@ItalyGuy]

In Rome, yes. It won't be a problem.

[@Mu93508]

Do they have an old day ticket like they have in germany for multiple people

[@eprohoda]

[@adibamini71]

What app do you recommend for grocery shopping

[@ItalyGuy]

Getir, though it's a shame to use it instead of actually going to the supermarket in Rome!

[@samia2300]

Does all these work in Venice Italy too

[@Rxbotboy]

Hi do you have a similar apps like these that can be used in Milan or are they usable in Milan too?

[@Jack-oe3cq]

Hi, do I need to validate my train tix (Trainline app) at the kiosk or just show train conductor my phone? Or I need to print out the paper and show conductor?

[@ItalyGuy]

once you buy tickets in the app, you activate it and get a barcode. You scan the barcode to enter the station. If a conductor arrives, you simply show him the barcode. So no need to go to the kioks or interact with anyone!

[@anirayo8252]

Gracias por la información.😊

[@salzburg8452]

Thanks alot.

[@cearamikarla9359]

Do you need to validate the ticket bought in trainline?

[@ItalyGuy]

No, you get a barcode and you let the ticket guy scan it.

[@april_stefanik]

Thank you!

[@ItalyGuy]

My pleasure!

[@AndyAdventuring]

If you buy a ticket with Trainline, how do you verify the ticket?

[@ItalyGuy]

You buy it for a specific train on a specific time. So no need to validate it.

Ticketappy isn’t in Apple App Store. Is there another place or way to purchase the bus tickets?

[@ItalyGuy]

I can see it still here: apps.apple.com/pl/app/ticketappy/id1473284979 on any case, you can buy a paper ticket at every 'tabacco' shop, you can find them all around Rome!

[@michaeltoolin8468]

TicketAppy is not available in every region. You will not be able to access the app once you are in Italy or with a VPN because the app stores are regionally specific. If you have the U.S. store then you can only download an access the apps in that store unless you delete the U.S. store and download the Italian store however you would lose everything from the U.S. store. You may be able to go online and set up an account with TicketAppy and purchase tickets through their online store. It may be better to purchase one of the Rome tourist or travel cards/passes. There are several different ones so it is best to check which would work best for you and you can purchase in advance and have one pass for public transport for your entire stay.

[@josediaz-wj2fr]

only one app is readely available in USA SO bad...

[@superdivemaster]

So, you're forgiven from validating the damn ticket if you use your App ??? Perfect for me ...

[@pilotxander]

does flix bus and itabus only go out of town ? or to close places in rome as well ?

[@ItalyGuy]

In Rome you have many options like trains, trams, buses and metros. Flix and Ita are meant for traveling from town to town

[@chuckswaim]

Is the Free Now taxi and bike rental app any good for Rome and in other Italian cities?

[@ItalyGuy]

Free Now works in all big cities. Regarding bike rental, I admit I'm less knowledgeable as I don't use them :)

[@ksbma]

Hi, does the trenit app work as well as the Trainline app?

[@ItalyGuy]

Hey, I think it should. But it limits you to one company. Trailine has all the companies

[@cindiqq2292]

Trainline charges a booking feel.

[@ItalyGuy]

True

[@musicplease4886]

Do I need to buy the ticket for a four years old kid? Or is kid free for bus and subway? Thanks

[@ItalyGuy]

Good question. I honestly don't know. I don't think kids are free.

[@laurajean7046]

What if you have a child with you and use the metro . Do you reach over and hand them the same phone to scan the barcode for metro ?

[@ItalyGuy]

That's actually a good question! I googled it and turns out kids up to 10 years old travel free in the metro, tram and bus www.atac.roma.it/frequently-asked-questions/i-bambini-a-roma-pagano

Hello again, Ticketappy is not available in canada. Is there a different one available for canada?

I’m in California (USA) and the app is not available for us. I had a similar situation occurred when I tried to download a car share app but I figured they don’t want tourists using the car share to keep it for locals to use. But that should not be the case for ticket appy.

No bus barcode, you just activate, you can activate before too. It lasts for 90 minutes.
