There is something about your relationship that I love. In my opinion that is what makes these videos so good. Anybody else feelin' that? I pray you never lose that.

[@heinekenczech]

She fits the seat, holy shit.

[@samuelebaccini7688]

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that in the Executive seats there is a lever inside the tray table compartment that when pulled can rotate the seat 180° so you can always face the direction of the train! :)

[@jdmullen78]

this is what I was going to say. I suppose that I no longer have to!

[@leewilliams5341]

The food looks scrumptious. The price for the ticket was reasonable. Enjoy Florence.

[@varyar77]

I took executive class from Milan to Rome a few years ago. A fantastic experience.

[@AA_8184_1]

What an amazing train! Such a classic Italian approach to train travel…style & class!

[@Prodigious1One]

Man... I'm envious. Maybe I'll ride the train in Italy one day.

[@truthteller8459]

Such a beautiful country. One day I hope to go see it traveling all over to enjoy everything.

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

It really is!

[@fefemyluv]

These foreign trains have been dreeeeamy. With the added perk of no other passengers, what a win! You guys have convinced me to travel by train one day.

[@ashleylaughlin1425]

So much fun! Worth every penny for such excellent service.

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

It was really good service!

[@lakb45]

Only the two of you in that one car would have been fun (and especially easy to film!) As an Italian myself (Grandma’s name was Riggio), I thought the food looked delicious, but as you likely thought, way too much. The Italians will keep you well fed. Excited to see the next leg of your journey! Buon viaggio!

[@nubiandivegirl3316]

The conference room and the beautiful seats....I'm sold!!! What a great video...thanks for sharing. I think the train switching directions would have freaked me out...especially after a few glasses of wine...lol. Love the adventures that you guys share. Stay safe

[@PurpleHaze929]

The seating was great and the food looked delicious. I could get used to that very easily. I really enjoy your vlogs & the way you both express yourself. Debbie 😊

[@brendalogan6281]

I was surprised when Rob said how much the tickets cost. I actually thought they would have cost more. Beautiful experience. Thanks for sharing

[@jeremybiwer8756]

You are in Italy, of course they want you to order more. Food is love.

[@riccardoc1430]

If you don't like seating in the "wrong" direction, you can turn your chair. You don't actually need to change your chair. In addition, the Trenitalia site does have a page in English so even if you don't speak any Italian, you can easily book there.

[@thevcountdown9824]

I just come from a ride with the executive class. The food and service was FANTASTIC

[@basictoglamchictravels]

Thanks for the tips, I'm actually planning to take the speed train for the first time from Rome to Florence so I'm pretty excited

[@roseanneford130]

That was funny, they had food for the car and you were it lol. But it was good he tried to feed you and paid attention to you as the only passengers. Did Rob not want a fruit bowl too. Thanks for sharing the experience...it's great to find out this exists whether I experience it myself or not.

[@BioCful]

Food looked great and so is train

[@taylahs.3808]

That looks like an awesome train ride. Again, thank you for sharing. Enjoy your trip!!

[@maathill8325]

You guys are so adorable!😄

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

Thanks!

[@claudiahansen4938]

Excellent report. Italy is a delicious country!

[@RusselHarding]

What a life! And the tickets are a business expense.

[@skatergirl8019]

This is soooo helpful! My partner and I are booking some train journeys and I think it’s worth it book the executive class for the longer trips!!

[@michaelfrantz1940]

Great video! Glad to see you are having a great time and eating so well!!

[@zlatinkaquinones3733]

Hello hello happy to see you guys I always enjoy your trips you are so lucky thank you for sharing have a great weekend

[@aramismcginty918]

That food looked bussin.

[@oudjunk]

Next week, I’ll go to Italy and I have plan for booking the ticket from Napoli Centrale to Milano Centrale. Thinking about This one and Italo. It’s quite long ride so I need the comfy seat with a service and this one looks interesting :)

[@faisal181]

This is MUCH more than first class, but man it feels worth it. We road it a few times now, have a one year old we parked hte stroller between us, was plenty of space to move around. Food was good.

[@phil8662]

I just took that train from Florence to Rome. I was in business class, which was nice. Now I wish I had upgraded to Executive.

[@iyesju]

You intricately detailing the vacation package with mostly I like because it's a good learning experience for all of us who may wish to do it someday.

[@mikeedwards9306]

Great upload with information to use, totally with you on the issue of motion sickness.

[@hellototheworld]

Thank you for sharing your train travels around the world

[@itsmetaran]

Awesome video guys!

[@PrimeTimeTravelers]

Very cool that you had the whole car to yourselves! Take that train too often and gain weight! Man the food looked good and kept coming! Great vlog guys! We hope to travel in your footsteps someday...we are just starting off here.....

[@sm6allegro]

Yes, Italy likes its huge termini 😄

[@mitsuyamaeda-railfan]

アメリカのアムトラックにも、最初から実績のあるFrecciarossa 1000（ETR400）やTGV Duplexを導入した方が、確実で計画的な運行を行い易くなると思います。また、非電化区間には、Class802を導入すれば、車両コストの削減と路線開拓、路線整備を合理的に行えると思いますので、将来的に、Frecciarossa 1000（ETR400）やTGV Duplexを走行させる基礎作りにも適していると思います。 つまり、需要開拓にはClass802を活用し、安定した収益路線にはFrecciarossa 1000（ETR400）やTGV Duplexを投入することで、手堅い経営を目指せると思います。（問題点は、車両に対するホームの高さが異なります。）

[@markknister6272]

Very nice. Great info!!!

[@blossomct]

Looks like it was a fun trip as always!! So which trains to you like best, Euro or USA??

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

They are very different, but we like them both for what they do. They each do what they are supposed to do well.

[@kathiesullivan2543]

Going back on Amtrak is going to be quite the downgrade after all of the magnificent trains you were on!

[@MarioMariaMario]

My wife's family always managed without knowing any italian. I think most of the staff can speak a little english and also the trenitalia website and app are available in english

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

They did pretty much all speak English to us if we needed it

[@jojoinrancho320]

I have been watching all of your Italy train trip videos. Would love to see a video of how you planned your entire trip - was it too difficult? Asking as a person not familiar with the country. Thanks!

[@PeterAlmenar]

That would be a good show. I wonder what the process is if you’re in the country and decide on a whim to go executive class. Would the cost be different, etc?

[@jojoin514]

If you feel you can't plan your trip on your own (nothing wrong with that for novice travellers), I highly suggest you visit a travel agent. It is free of charge for you, (they get paid for their by companies you are booked with) tell them your budget and they can not only book your travel tickets, your accomodations, but they can also give you great tips on itineraries and things you may want to see. Also if ever you have problems whether it be travel or accomodation, you call them and they do the work for you to fix whatever problem you may have. My husband and I have travelled to 72 countries and have been doing so for the past 40 years and we always do busines with a trusted travel agent. Last trip, one of our flights was cancelled by the airline. While we were dining in the airline lounge, she was the one calling the airline, staying on hold and rescheduling our flight. Don't forget travel insurance! If ever you fall sick or are injured, medical expenses can break you if you don't have travel insurance and they will also refund cancelled trips, stolen luggage, etc.

[@jojoin514]

@@PeterAlmenar depending on the time of the year and route you want, executive class may already be booked as there are very few seats in this class. We are booked for a September trip and on the route we wanted, there were no seats available.

[@cassandram6126]

Thanks for sharing 👋💜

[@pattyverde47]

Lovely video

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

Thanks 🤗

[@j.cm.9343]

Do you know if the executive car can be accesses y people from other cars?

[@cantrait7311]

I was going to try the executive from Milan to Paris But because of the avalanche freccarossa does not go to Paris for the time being

[@juneblogger22]

Hey lil debbie that's a cake you know. All those nice working car cakes.

[@robertlandry5676]

Very nice 👍🏼

[@billdobkins3535]

Looks like a fantastic experience! Are all meals and beverages included in the price?

[@adopancia7445]

Yes they are.

[@nivanstklare24]

Love you guys content

[@patricianoe8843]

When will you be back to the USA?

[@chrisdobrowolski2783]

Eventually I want to do the train that goes under water from London to France, have you done that train yet?

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

Yes we did it a few months ago, it was a great experience!

[@chrisdobrowolski2783]

Since you did not film that train, how much was it? Did the train or the train stations have bathrooms- I am just curious.

[@kathynichols6602]

So you can get motion sickness on a train. Can you elaborate on that? Would you Recommend taking a ginger capsule?

[@sweetswithmyeatsk1695]

Did they help w bags at all? How was the Executive Club?

[@insideoutsideupsidedown2218]

Was hoping for tour of the car.

[@katiepartridge1402]

I am the same I have to sit on a train seat the same way the train is going as I tried to sit backwards and made me feel ill and it was only a 7 min journey

[@Regina-sr7lo]

What was the bathroom like on this executive class train?

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

It was pretty much the same as business class, good, but not spectacular

[@valcolvera]

There's an option on Trenitalia to have the site in English.

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

Yes, the bigger problem is getting a US credit card to work though.

[@AdemardaSilvaItaliamonzabrasil]

Utopia tutto ciò sta per accadere

[@AmandaTexas]

Okay, I'm sorry this is off-topic, but tell me about your shoes!

[@seyley2901]

Yet, bizarrely, some people rave about Amtrak, why?

[@timbacchus]

How fast did it go?

[@giumas1693]

The route of the train they rode includes both a normal line, between Bari and Caserta with a maximum speed of 180 kmph in short sections, and high-speed lines, between Caserta and Rome with speed of 300 kmph and between Rome and Florence with speed of 250 kmph.

[@kapilchhabria1727]

We could all be traveling in this much luxury, but we choose to shoot ourselves in the foot, made virtually no rail infrastructure for high speed transit and now travel in pressurized tubes in tiny uncomfortable seats.

[@chrisdobrowolski2783]

Also those trains did not have any bathrooms is that correct? Do the stations where you board have bathrooms at least the big ones?

[@GroundedLifeTravel]

All of them have bathrooms

[@vincenzodibernardo9903]

Ahahahah no bathrooms in trains

[@heinekenczech]

They are still wearing face masks over there?
