Just returned from a week in Rome. Your vids proved invaluable. Many thanks. All your points were spot on. We wouldn't have had such a nice trip without your vids. We noticed that the better we dressed the less hassle we received from street venders. Possibly unsure if we were tourists or locals. just wanted to say thanks! Next trip...Israel.

[@richardhunter7363]

The best 3 tips we got from our cruise operators: 1. The drinking water fountains - fill your bottles from these street fountains - no need to keep paying for bottled water. 2. Tickets for the Colosseum are also valid for the Forum and the Palatine Hill and visa versa - the queues for either of these places tend to be much shorter than at the Colosseum so buy your tickets at either place and walk straight past the queues at the Colosseum. 3. If you are travelling with children under 14 - entry to the Forum etc is half price providing you can prove their age - take their passport and ask for the cheaper tickets - don't ask, don't get! These 3 tips saved us many Euros and a stack of time as we didn't have to queue at all for the Colosseum - really important if you have limited time in this city.

[@scaramouchesealion5602]

just a little tip from a Roman follower: there's a local train from Fiumicino Airport to Tuscolana station (which is located in the south-eastern part of Rome, just 2 metro stops from San Giovanni). That's a lot cheaper than the 13 euros Leonardo Express (it costs 8 euros per person per trip) and the journey takes just a few more minutes.

[@AlanPillinger]

Excellent advice! I lived in Rome for 27 years. Each time I go back to Rome on holiday, I take the train to Tuscolana and then take the underground at Ponte Lungo.

[@chukkie8706]

You have a great demeanor for presenting!! Thanks for all the tips dude

[@woltersworld]

I am watching this myself and it says "No views" but there is 1 like and already a comment... I feel that KZbin may be a little tricky with their numbers :) Big Roman Hug to You All!!

[@memmedbaku4606]

You are my kind of man. Talkative and able to speak non-stop and "you don't slip in the pocket for a word," as in Azerbaijani saying. But your speech is not tiring. Excellent tips for tourists. And thank you for warning about pick-pockets :DD

YOU ARE THE BESTTTTT!!!! This video made it much more easier for me, thank you😊😊😊😊

[@jasontrott4158]

Great video, Rome was my first trip anywhere from Ohio when I was 31. I love Rome. My favorite sites were the the scavi tour under the Vatican, the colosseum, and the Borghese Gallery. Your videos are spot on with all the info we may need. Thank you

[@Heart2HeartBooks]

Totally awesome presentation. Thanks. Going to Italy Dec 31 to Jan 23. Really looking forward to it.

[@yuvrajagarwal4071]

Thank you can’t wait to see your info on Paris ♥️

[@taddyxc2800]

We are just spending our last day in Rome & we prepared for our 7 day vacation here by watching all your videos & have had the BEST time!!! Your advice was completely spot on. Thank you!♥️

[@andymaher6031]

Anytime I have a trip booked i always look up videos for tips and helpful information regarding the place....every single time I end up seeing your videos for that place (Cancun, Rome etc) so thank you for all the help! You’re a wealth of worldwide knowledge!

[@laurietaft8206]

I LOVED Rome and Vatican City. I can't wait to go back. I did a pilgrimage tour but next I want to do a Foodie tour. The pilgrimage tour included hotel food that catered to the Americani and not representative of authentic Italian food. Florence and Assisi had the greatest examples of Italian hotel food. Thanks, Mark for all your great travel tips and advice.

[@megankelly3076]

Thank you so much. This video is so helpful 😊

[@BaYeTV]

Thank you Wolters! Rome is truly captivating.❤️Everywhere you look is bursting with history and beauty. We visited the city during Spring as part of our DIY EUROTRIP video. The entire city is rich with art, sculpture and architecture. 🤩🤩🤩 Its like walking inside a huge museum. ❤️❤️❤️

[@natale149]

Love your videos. Been to Milano. Florence. Naples and now at Rome. Thanks for great info 🍷

[@claudiacervantes5379]

I love Rome! And would love to go back. The history, the food, the fashion! ❤️ but... if I had to choose my favorite Italian city, it would have to be Florence. ❤️❤️ something about that city that just calls me. All of Italy is amazing and you can’t go wrong with any place to visit. The people are amazing and I just love the history. Pompeii was another amazing visit that I feel I need to do again cause after walking around for 8 hours there, I still didn’t see it all.

[@sharonpierce6417]

I have just recently subscribed to this channel and very impressed with the various tips about everything! Next, I will visit the website!

[@teilaboston3674]

Perfect timing on this video! It looks like a lot of us will be going to Rome soon. I'm headed there in a week, so I have been rewatching all of your Italy videos to prepare.

[@woltersworld]

Have a great trip!

[@yaowsers77]

[@kubsang]

Thanks for information

[@rebeccamillion6984]

Am so excited watching this video thanks for making me like this love you 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻

[@mb-wn1hl]

I absolutely love your videos! I studied abroad in Italy and London this summer and watched a ton of your videos to make sure I was prepared and I love how you really just get straight to the point and explain things, it makes it so much easier to explain!

[@woltersworld]

Thank you Meredith. We just want to help other travelers and it's great to hear we are helping out other travelers. Cheers!

[@baotrantranle5760]

Meredith B hello Meredith, I'm coming to Rome to study this September too! Can you help me know mire about how to get from the airplane to my accommodation? Is it best to go by taxi or else? Many thanks!

[@BB-yw1ez]

Great presentation, very clear sound and informative! Really enjoy your videos. 💕

[@katgoddess70]

Always great content! Going to Italy in a few days, this was very very helpful!

[@woltersworld]

Thanks Grace! Have a great trip!

[@annieroche22]

I was in Rome in July. Bring 2 pairs of super comfy shoes as you will do a lot of walking.

[@unknown4life913]

AM R How was it? I’m going this July.

[@MrChadwicj]

Thank you. Good video 😀

[@jenniferirving7185]

[@gweneetikibradley3007]

Thank you for sharing such helpful tips. I truly appreciate it. I LOVE Rome, Italy and will definitely be visiting hopefully in the very near future. Fascinated with Rome since 14 years old. The architecture/arts are AMAZING. I would like to know if there are any Vegan restaurants. Any other tips will be greatly appreciated. I look forward to any other videos that you would like to share about this BEAUTIFUL ancient/historical city . Again, THANK YOU. May God continue to BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY! God bless!

[@jazzey69]

Thank you for the great information Mark :-) I am going there in November....Happy days...:-)

[@woltersworld]

Thanks Steve

[@ronaldhalim3298]

Love your video feels sooo true

[@stefaniaolivier7489]

I'm sure I've watched more than two videos from you. And I'm sure ucd watched said videos over and over. But the last two I watched, really came handy. I just spent 7 days in Marrakesh and now I'm in Rome! Thank you for your informative videos. I like how you record them while on sight.

[@CyclingWorld1]

Great Video thanks 👍🏻

[@mliving111]

We were there for 1 full day and we highly recommend the Segway tour. We would have never been able to see all that we saw in 2 days. 4 hour tour was like 70 US prepaid and our tour guide Roger was amazing!

[@vacayjet1]

just came from Rome ! you are really on point - a lot of walking is expected !

[@rickeyfydrych4841]

Going to Rome in Feb. We have watched alot of your vids like Cancun lol. Great info an thanks

[@SweetSourTravel]

Wonderful, time to enjoy watching. Let's keep in touch

[@zacroveen7284]

wonderfulllll video

[@ariennelandry9207]

Great video.

[@pattjer]

Thanks Mark. I can not wait to go back to Roma .. next week. I presume it is even better now ( coronavirus-few people)’we just came back from Venice and it was marvelous, just few people , super clean. Just lovely. I love Italy 🇮🇹❤️🙏🏻

[@danielcrespin5744]

Every time I travel anywhere, I always watched your videos on that specific place. Thank you so much Mark, I'm off to Rome on Thursday, and really looking forward to it. Keep up the good work :)

[@johnm384]

Awesome! Was there in late August. Aer Lingus was a nice ride, SAS was top notch in summer 2017. Did Venice, Florence & Rome both trips.

[@irisdreu2365]

Thanks for all these valued info! My hubby and I will be traveling there in a couple of weeks to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Ciao❣️

[@woltersworld]

Congratulations!!! Have a fun trip you love birds!

[@EasyMoneySwe]

Happy anniversary to you and yours congratulations and may you b married for 100+ more years

[@TravelerExplorerLaagan87121]

Thank you for giving ideas on ROME. I am planning to travel there for pleasure:)

[@TheWanderingWife]

Dang! How did I miss this before our trip there in May? Anyway, great tips as always.

[@nakedpilgrim2498]

The catacombs are awesome! I'd definitely recommend seeing at least one of them! Also the Scavi tour, where you go under St Peter's Basilica and walk through the ancient necropolis upon which the Vatican is built (but you do need to book months in advance!)

[@sonianunez7979]

Was there in August..loved it

[@SilverlakePrincess96]

I’ve been to Rome twice and I’ve always been finding things that I love more about the city! It’s so gorgeous. The history is also amazing

[@woltersworld]

Same with me. it's amazing how many new things you can find each time you go

[@andyvanderheiden9717]

Great video Mark! How about a video on your favorite places to eat , near the pantheon area and other commonly visited areas...thanks!!

[@everanchamorillo2891]

thank you it's very helpful and informative plant to visit in Rome.

[@pacman3607]

Love the video Mark! We went to Rome on our Honeymoon because we both love history so much and your video really helped us before we travelled so thank you for that. Just a quick question, what do you use for film and audio? Your videos are always such good quality 👍😁

[@haripraji]

Went there in 2019.. Such a beautiful place it is.🌹🌼❤️

[@AZTUC_520]

I'm going to be in Rome on Friday can't wait

[@mrh118]

Very Nice informations

[@keensterd3654]

Great content as always Mark. I'm a big fan of your channel and planning a trip to either Rome or Paris (still trying to decide) for this year . Is May a good time visit Rome? I'm concerned about the weather. I would like to go when the weather is pleasant.

[@Deboraccah]

Bravissimo! : )

[@matthewmunro161]

Excellent

[@wdh47211]

My god you cram so much into one video...You are awesome.....you're like super tourist guy......god love ya

[@HongNguyen-ed1if]

Thanks for your explain to our for the next trip in Rome

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

We go back for our second visit in a few weeks. I'm so excited to see Trastevere and other parts of the city that I missed the first time. I always enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. Also, several people mention a great place to eat near the Pantheon...any idea what it is?

[@lindsayelaine1326]

We just got back a couple weeks ago. We did AIRBNB for all our stays in Italy. So much better than hotels! You go more of the local experience. Love from Seattle!

[@kedarisgreat]

Good video!

[@Sophiastillwell33]

Thanks so much!

[@rachelnstephens]

Going in a few weeks! Perfect timing!

[@woltersworld]

You will love it!

[@Agnes135]

How was it?

[@tomasgaspar8065]

She is going for biblical reasons...i too am going for biblical reasons. I also really want to see venice.

[@Majid-uc1bx]

I m going too in November

[@pouya81es]

thx for ur video,,, I have the plan to visit Rome this year

[@denis7738]

Same going in September

[@nerso5461]

We were there 1st week of Sep. 18 and we absolutely loved it, everyone speaks English and people were friendly. I avoided public transportation all together and only moved around in Uber. For 10-12 euro it's not worth it to risk being pick pocketed that can ruin your vacation. ✌😉

[@mariaasubar1037]

Hi! Thanks so much for your very informative and entertaining vlogs. My husband and I are going on a Mediterranean cruise this September. It stops in Rome and so we will need to stay in a hotel in Rome for a few days and on to Venice. We’d like to know good hotels where we can stay in Rome and Venice, which are in the city center. Thank you so very much. Your vlogs help us gain more confidence in arranging our tour, so that we could enjoy the trip much better. Bless you and your beautiful family!!

[@william_rc]

Great video!! Please make more like this with technical tips too. Thanks for all the hard work.

[@MrJoeyben21]

I was just there back in june... rome was amazing. We also stayed near termini station. The hotel we stayed at was called Princeps Boutique hotel. It was a great stay and the hotel was really nice breakfast was really good too. I recommend everyone to stay at that hotel.

[@annieroche22]

Just adding a point about pick pocketing. I was "crowd crushed" whilst getting on a bus. And then I realised my back pack was wide open. I'm fanatical about making sure it's closed properly so I believe it was definitely a pick pocketing attempt.

[@forzaromaale8298]

You should in fact put your back on the front in large crowds

[@Jessica-ee1pl]

Going to Rome next year ❤️

[@monique-octowhale]

That's crazy! I was there at the same time!!

[@sppottam]

Vado a Roma il prossimo mes e non vedo l'ora che arrivo. Che buon video! Grazie Wolter. Lei sa parlare l'italiano?

[@jocelind658]

I am going to Rome in September, These tips are great! Grazie 😁👍

[@I3ehr]

Me too! Best vids for advice. 👍🏼

[@Ali-ko4pe]

I’m going this Friday, solo 😬 enjoy your trip

[@biznakrivera]

Thank you for this video! Going on my honeymoon to Amalfi Coast, Rome, and Milan so this helped for the Rome part of our trip! Haha

[@toumamina9076]

Good Job

[@SophiaArias320]

I’ll be there in a few weeks so exciting! Great video thanks for posting. How does public transportation work ? What’s better bus or subway 🚊? Where to buy tickets for bus ??

[@woltersworld]

Bus is probably more helpful as there aren't too many subway lines

[@yaruqadishi8326]

Love it love Rome.

[@BillGreenAZ]

The wind wound wasn't bad and you know I can be a stickler when it comes to sound. Thanks for using the covers. The digging was a bit too much so thanks for waiting until that was done.
