Cute guy ❤

[@MercedesABQ505]

Hello…. Ciao…. Hola… I really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you for the aerial views too. It makes it easy to understand your way around the city and that’s it’s impossible to get lost. Grazie Mille 😊

[@TheCarlrivera]

🍕 🍕 🍕 This was one of the most informative and organized videos you’ve both posted… the only thing missing perhaps is suggesting restroom spots…

[@Gfysimpletons]

[@thesupportingcast6972]

I was 18 the last time I was in Florence. I just got lost a whole day walking around looking like this 😮😂 Florence is really a walking museum ❤

[@sophiaisabelle027]

We wish you all the best in your lives. God bless you both.

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Thank you so much Sophia! 🥰❤️

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Aww thank you so much for your kind words, that really means a lot to us! 🥰 We are so happy you found it helpful! ❤️

[@fredericocabralmoreiracava234]

Best travel guide i've seen in prepping my trip to italy, the way you explain the locations of the city is pretty helpful. Keep up the great job

[@thomwigle2240]

Super job with your video, Micha and Matteo! I have binged on all sorts of videos of Italy in prep for our upcoming month-long trip there … and honestly, nothing compares to this video. Helpful directions, brief, but valuable descriptions of the key places in the historic centre. Plus great videography and superb editing; the work you pour into your videos really shows! And what a charming and fun loving couple you are. ❤ Maybe we’ll see you shooting footage around town when we’re in Florence in mid-April. 🤷🏼 Ciao!

[@paulfreitag7772]

Very nice and comprehensive tour of many of the main sites in Firenze. Nice to see my old piazza, Santa Croce, at the end. I used to sit there almost every day to relax and take in the atmosphere. I made many friends at the local cafes, bars, and restaurants. I do miss Firenze very much, but I am looking forward to my time in Sicily very soon! Grazie, Paul

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Thank you so much Paul, we are so happy you enjoyed it! 🥰 We hope you have an amazing time in Sicily when you go! 😍🇮🇹

We are in Rome currently and heading to Florence next week. Your tour guide info is the best. I have reviewed them numerous times to retain all your great tips. Loved the one about street food in Florence.

[@stephenbowser8295]

Great video guys, really helped us with our 1st trip to this wonderful city. The tip about looking out for the con artists with their crappy pictures on the ground was great, we witnessed first hand one of them really hassling a tourist aggressively for just walking closely to his stuff!! The police really should do more to move them along

[@lesliegoa]

Love your videos. And the very pleasant smiles on both your faces all the time. Your diction and pronunciation of Italian words is so immersive, 😊(for want of a better word).

[@clairedsc5807]

Hello from Zurich, CH. Thanks for the video - we'll be staying next to the Duomo, so excited as it's my first time really as an adult to Italy (except NW of Italy near Switzerland)

Our Italy(Rome, Florence, Venice) trip is coming up in Mid October. What’s the typical weather/what do you recommend is needed? A “travel musts items” would be a great video :)

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Thank you so much Jill, we are so happy you enjoyed it! 🥰🇮🇹

[@fredyair1]

Lovely walk around the city center, not sure what else is coming in future videos but just in case, one of my favorites sights of Florence is Piazzale Michelangelo, where the third David of the city is located and the views from above the river are breathtaking.

[@westernnut8407]

You two are the best. I enjoy the way you give specifics on how to navigate the streets.

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Aww thank you so much! 🥰

[@guerro327]

This. So much. Loved the tour and has already got my mind planning an excursion to Firenze when I am in Umbria in October. Thank you for making these videos and sharing your adventure.

[@aphraelk6214]

Useful video! I use google maps a lot, and it's nice to see google map being inserted to get a sense of direction and what we see in real life vs the maps.

[@marinrodriguez7729]

I am enjoying your first hand walk abouts! I would suggest that you add a link to a Google map of various "tours " that you have so that people can follow that map. Also, maybe a video on tips and tricks and hidden gems in Florence. Like using the below ground shopping mall under the train station to bypass the traffic out front of the station. Thanks again!

[@yauning]

This is so informative! Following your travel guide definitely helps with everything!!! Thank you!

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Aww thanks Hoi, we're so happy you found it helpful! 🤗🇮🇹

[@yauning]

@@TheGlobalExpats Yes it's super helpful.. especially when it's gonna be my first time visiting Italy with my mom..just super nervous and all~ but ur guides gives great tips to be aware of.

[@yauning]

@@TheGlobalExpats not sure if you can help with this or maybe point me to a better direction with it..but I do have a quick question about the omnia pass for Rome. Not quite sure if it's worth it to get it. For a first timer in Italy..I do want to get to the main sights like the colosseum and the Vatican city..but Im just not a guided tour kinda girl~ any advice?

[@saulbalderrama6551]

For the day I had in Florence twenty years ago, I really wish I'd been able to see this video. I missed probably 80% of what Florence has just strolling past something that I should've stopped at. But now I have you guys--so, next time.

[@Vancouver_Dan]

Wow, thank you for this fun and interesting tour. You gave us several ideas for our visit coming up in June. Much appreciated!

Good commentary. I followed along on a map of Florence as l watched to get my bearings again for my return in April and May. One downer, l was very disappointed and disgusted to see you buying water in plastic bottles. It is so easy to carry a thermos and fill it at drinking fountins. I pack a collapsible ice tray and fill the thermos completely with ice when leaving the apartment in the morning. Adding water as l go, the ice generally lasts me most of the day. I have cold water and am not killing the planet. Win - win.😊

[@eterenostalgia5088]

Fantastic Florence 😊

Thank you so much Maria! You can definitely do the walking tour in one day if you aren't entering any of the monuments/churches/museums 🥰

Thanks Ross! 🥰

[@francalazzara1091]

Hi there, Can you guys do a video on best rooftop bars and aperativo in Rome. Heading there for a birthday so would love some insight. Love your work BTW :-)

[@HereToCheers]

Have you guys looked at turning these guides into walking tour apps? We'll be in Florence next week so we're refreshing here and taking notes but I would pay to have this in a walking tour format we could just have in our pockets and update as we walk. I started looking for some audio tours and there are companies that allow people to make their own and share the profits. I'm listen to their samples and they're not as good as you guys!

[@garyhaber6957]

Great tour. No pizza tip but..... we wouldn't want "Hercules" to loose his figure 😆 😆 😆 😜 😄

[@tsoioleg]

Awesome tour guide. What time of the year was this video shot? I would like to avoid summer crowds and heat, but still catch some sunshine while visiting. Thanks in advance.

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Thank you so much, we’re so happy you enjoyed it! 🤗 We filmed this in early November, but in our opinion the best time to visit Italy would be in September / early-mid October! 🇮🇹

[@tsoioleg]

@@TheGlobalExpats Thank you. Bought you a pizza.

[@madaniela]

Hello! thank you for an awesome video, was this filmed in march? Im asking because of the weather and clothing

Thank you, we're so happy you liked it! 🤗 We filmed this in early November!

[@lifewithgrandmabev]

I can see we need to go back to Florence and hang around several days, not just one afternoon with the cruise lines.

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Yes definitely! There is so much to see! 🤗🇮🇹

[@cindylux333]

Hello I’m enjoying your videos! Is this current weather? I’m looking at weather condition this week and it looks gloomy. Just asking because I’m going in 2 weeks and want to know proper dress code. Is this footage pre filmed? Grazie mille

[@anonimovirtual2388]

Great video! What time of the year was that? Is this recent?

I enjoyed your last vlog. Fpr your next once please could do a vlog on how to use a taxi in Florence or how to order a taxi? I know that there are two numbers, one is 4242 and the other is 4390 but if you have a foreign mobile how do you order a taxi.

Where is the gelato shop featured in this video?

[@joecowan3719]

That is La Strega Nocciola, when looking at the Duomo from the front entrance, go around it on the left, make your first left (Via Ricasoli), it is 5 shops up on the right. Best Gelato we ever had in Italy!!

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Hey Claire, the shop is called 'La Strega Nocciola' and is located right next to the Duomo, you can see the full clip in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3u9nqZuq52WqNksi=Ev_DV-9ke7I7xfLd&t=1726 🥰

Do you guys use a pocket hotspot or just go with international data plan from your cell phone carriers?

Do the markets take cash only or do they take credit cards too?

[@TheGlobalExpats]

Hey Kenneth, a lot of places take card but we always recommend keeping cash on you just in case!

[@lisabarr1672]

Ok; must acknowledge that this is not my favorite (unlike the video of the piazza del duomo, museo del opera del duomo, etc. which was amazing). I think you need to introduce this one as a high-level overview to navigating the centro storico-which it does well from that standpoint. Love what you are doing and will acknowledge that I feel somewhat proprietary toward Florence, having been there at least 15 times.
