Acea Waidy Wow to find potable water fountains in the area served by Acea. It's very useful especially in the country side, where it might be hard to find water and you can't be sure whether a fountain you found is still potable.

[@RozierRoma]

I thought about adding the app helping people locate the water fountains, but with over 1500 water fountains in Rome it is not too difficult. I will add it when I make an updated version. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@RedProg]

We are headed back to Italy early next year. Thank you for the info.

[@RozierRoma]

Have fun!

@ 0:38 love the Woody Allen impression. Nice homage.

[@RozierRoma]

Huh? Woody Allen is one of the greats.

Thank you for making this video 😊

[@RozierRoma]

you bet!

[@dylannash3514]

Hi there great video 😀do you think freenow is a better choice for taxi’s in Rome over Uber? Cheers

[@RozierRoma]

Yes, much better. The only Uber they have in Rome is Uber black and it’s much more expensive.

[@debrasams2362]

Great information. Definately writing these done to use. Very helpful! Thank you. I used Google map in Paris. It was so helpful.😊

I have just found your channel and subbed. I am so happy. I have only watched 2 vids so far and cannot wait to continue through your vids. These are the best vids ive watched on Rome. I plan to travel to Rome this year so finding your channel is just amazing. Thanks for all your hard work. Your enthusiasm and kindness shines. 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@RozierRoma]

So glad I can be of help. I’m glad you appreciate my style of videos. Any questions just let me know. The more information you can get before you arrive a room the better. Hope you have a great trip.

[@brentspitler9884]

i found a new app. Thanks Scott

[@RozierRoma]

Hey Brent, which one?

[@kimmckay5987]

Thank you! Any chance you’re up to creating a video about phone management for those of us bringing our phones (with updated SIM cards and hugely expensive international data plans)? Thanks for considering it!

[@RozierRoma]

Very good idea! I need to make one for sure.

[@EggsHamCheese]

I greatly appreciated your video to recommend Rome. Very detailing. Love it. I want to know if you can recommend internet mobile on the go. My phone plan can not be used in Europe. Thanks

[@RozierRoma]

As long as you have an unlocked phone when you get to Rome or really anywhere in Europe, you can go by a phone store and get a tourist Sim card. The Sim card cost around €10 and then it’s another €20 for the 30 day plan unlimited call and Internet. The Internet speeds are very fast in fact much faster than when I use my phone plan from the states in Rome. There is even a kiosk at the tiny train station to Rome with tourist Sim cards. Hope that helps. There are also e- Sim cards, but I’m not familiar with them. They may also be an option for you.

[@EggsHamCheese]

@@RozierRoma thank you so much for this information!

[@RozierRoma]

Remember your phone needs to be unlocked and when you get back to the states, you just put your original Sim card back in if you’re using a manual Sim card and it will restore your service here and the next time you go to Europe, you can put the Sim card back in And just pay for the monthly service and not the Sim card again.

[@DWalker-s6f]

Sorry I ask a question 2 minutes ago on an older video. You said you can tap and go for bus and train via credit card. I am wondering how do you validate if asked for proof if you just tap and go. I am from New Zealand we tend to purchase a card or download app and top it up or you can buy with cash so just asking the question as I am assuming guards come on randomly to check…

[@RozierRoma]

If someone comes onto to check for a ticket, they carry device that will scan your credit card or phone to verify that it was used or tapped. Many people are now using tap and go. It takes him just a few seconds to verify.

[@eliwhitney852]

I tired to download the Trenitalia app but it is not available in the Canadian App Store. Can you suggest an alternative?

[@RozierRoma]

Try Trainline

[@joesmoe5690]

When you use get your guide app, does it include your tickets, too?

[@RozierRoma]

The get your guide app includes tickets if needed.

[@joesmoe5690]

If you use the apps to get your train tickets, do you need to still validate? hows that work? and is there an app for the metro?

[@RozierRoma]

Hifg speed rail no, traditional train yes, you validate on the app prior to departure. Use Tap & Go for bus and metro.

[@richardwall8772]

What do you think of the Trainline app? I haven’t tried it yet but it seems it would replace the Italo and Trenitalia app.

[@RozierRoma]

If your priority is convenience over savings, then Trainline is a good app and you’ll only need one app opposed to two. It also does buses. If you use the actual Trainline apps Italo and Trenitalia. you do save a little bit plus you get promo codes for future travel and overall I think it is gonna save a little bit but again if convenience is your top priority, Trainline is great

[@allyson1691]

I’ve found searching on Trainline is good and then. Booking with the actual train service provider. Italo app is not good though. I searched on there, bought a ticket and it never shows up in the app. I do have the emailed tickets though. Trenitalia app is not available for iPhone unless you change your app store to Italy. The Canadian store doesn’t support it. I use the browser version. I also found Trenitalia tickets are way easier to make changes to.

[@casaslitoralnorte]

I have 2 questions? The Fork app really works? I have to reserve a day(days) before, or hours before? And about the train, if i buy through app or website, i do not need to validate, like the tickets, right? Thanks 😊

[@RozierRoma]

Most restaurants you do not need reservations but of thoes that you do the app works well and you can book day of if there are still availability. I use the app more for the discounts and the restaurants offering discounts are usually not the ones that you need reservations. The app is good for reviews as well as directions but not so much for reservations at least the restaurants usually go to. Next question. If you buy train tickets on the app if there is an assiged seat (all high speed trains have assigned seats) you do not need to validats. If yiou do not have an assigned seat you will need to validats and you do that through the app before departure.

[@casaslitoralnorte]

@@RozierRoma great! Thanks ☺️🙏

[@casaslitoralnorte]

@@RozierRoma and the fork app really give discounts? It Works ? I mean, the restaurants that show discounts! Thanks!

[@RozierRoma]

There is a catch with most discounts just make sure the time you booked offfers the discount. Some of the discounts are only for certain time slots (less popular)

[@paulajenkins6978]

I believe the last app is Komoot (not Kamoot) and the only reason I know is because I’m downloading it now thanks to your great video!

[@debsholly5183]

“Funner”? 🤦‍♀️

[@RozierRoma]

These days, I think it’s OK to say funner even Siri thinks so. This was the most fun post. Thanks for watching.

Dad would love TOOGOODTOGO

[@RozierRoma]

You must be talking about the Toogoodtogo app. Who doesn’t love a surprise mystery bag? Good to hear from you. Jill and thanks for watching.
