Excellent advice Elyssa. Almost exactly what I did, but in reverse! Lol. That's why Rome must be visited for a lengthy time or multiple times! There is so much to see and do and learn.

[huanho]

I have to say that I picked up my English on this channel, tourism English. It helps me a lot traveling in other countries. 😆😆😆

[peterjones]

I love your itinerary for a two day trip. We were there a month ago for three days and I was able to hit almost everything you have here. We decided to spend an evening doing a twilight food tour in Trastevere as we’ve been to Rome many times and skipped the major sites this time. The Borghese Gallery was a real highlight for me as was Piazza Del Popolo. We used your YouTube video as we toured Largo Argentina. It was very helpful and informative. That was a fantastic site!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[patriziabertacco]

Your videos helped me plan our very recent trip to Rome. Didn't see everything we wanted, but we did see the essentials- Vatican City, the Vittorio Emmanuele monument, Colosseum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain & a few other sights. Thanks so much, we loved Rome & hope to return to see some more of this wonderful city. ❤

[bcktncp]

Thanks for your nice and helpful videos. I hope to visit Rome again in the near future. It’s also very interesting to see what changed in Rome since my last visit. Greetings from Germany 😊

[Styledmicasa]

Wow, the map download was such a nice touch! Thank you for sharing ❤ heading here in 2 weeks

[BailacongabiPontevedra]

I just got back from Rome. I live in Spain. Thank you for everything. You really helped me plan a perfect visit. One suggestion of topic for a video : Tiramisus. I planned my Tiramisù experience using Tik tok and it was a great adventure. I tried some homemade ones at the restaurants I ate.. I also went to 101 tiramisus and Pompi. It was a lot of fun and I'm sure you'll have fun making this video as well. My favorite one was a Nutella and pistachio Tiramisù I had at 101.. For the mixture of flavors. The second one was at Armando al Panteon, the texture was amazing! Thanks again!
