The best video for Italy ever!
Will be saving this video in my history, Great tips an inside info……Thanks for putting it together.!
very good video…i love it
which hotel do u recommend for positano?
I loved watching the video and got really inspired to visit the beautiful country of Italy. Will definitely try the trip by train. Thanks for such a wonderful video.
Really good video with good, practical info. We are going to do something similar in November 2019. If you had to pick 3, maybe 4 main bases to stay at and do day trips out of, which would they be? Looking at 20 nights in Italy, doing air bnb 5 nights (ish) at each location with day trips from each. What are your thoughts? I would really appreciate your feedback! Thanks! Also my wife loves the country feel with cute towns and fresh food markets, do you recommend anywhere that has these to stay for a few nights? Thanks again.
Best video ever…very informative…thank you.
I want to hop on a train and travel to Italie
Thank you for the video. It will really help me for my grand italy tour.
We carried small backpacks of 12 to 15 pounds max and ALWAYS kept them at out side unless locked in a locker. I had a top stolen at a high class hotel in Germany. Packed old underwear and socks that we threw away after use. Do not take anything that you would be upset if it got stolen. Keep your valuable very close at all times.
Why didn’t you visit Naples?
Nice video but having traveled to Italy a few times, for me, anything over 3 hours of train travel a day is really not worth a day trip.
I'm taking your video as a guide to my 1 week trip to Italy. Thank you.
loved your video….inspired to travel to Italy! How about Spain or Portugal? 🙏
I am going to beautiful Italy in 5 weeks, please help!!
Beautiful, but always the same places. How about Italy’s east coast. The beaches are sandier and not as tourist ridden as the west coast. Interesting video though,.
Travelled by train in Italy 18 months ago using regional trains all the time apart from 2 intercity trains. This was much cheaper Then using the expresses. They weren't crowded and were all punctual and I booked and paid for them from my bedroom in Kilifi via my laptop. One tip, having printed out the ticked on A4 paper, for my first few journeys, I folded up the tickets to validate them but on the train from Pescara to Ancona, was told that its not necessary on such ticket.
Italy my homeland.
Rome is home
