Dallas Trip: The Great American Eclipse
Great Video! We’ll be arriving in Rome after a 15 day transatlantic cruise and have 2 nights in Rome before taking the train to Florence for 2 nights and then the train to Venice for 2 nights, before finally heading to Brussels for a night and returning to the States. It will be a bit of a whirlwind, but we are thinking to hit only a few things for tours (Colosseum, possibly the Vatican, Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Gallerie dell'Accademia) because I know some tours take a lot of time, like your Vatican tour, so I have to weigh if the time spent going on tours is worth what else I’ll miss in Rome. If it takes 5-6 hours to do the Vatican, and then I’m exhausted, that will probably be my day, yet I want time to just wander and explore, since I love architecture, food and wine.
We hope you have a great trip. If you’re going to do anything at the Vatican, make sure it’s St. Peter’s Basilica. We were truly in awe. If you’re trying to preserve your stamina, maybe save the Vatican museum for your next trip.
Hello, enjoying watching your videos while we are planning our trip for 2025. Which tour company did you use for the early morning Vatican tour? And the one for the Colosseum? Thank you in advance!!

Thanks so much! Your videos are great! Keep traveling!!!
Is traveling to Italy with a tour company a better idea or going by yourself?
@@vrushalipande6168 great question. I would say using a tour company is a good idea if you don’t want to do a lot of planning on your own, since almost all the work is done for you. However if you want to create your own itinerary, and don’t mind doing a little research, Id say try it on your own. We’re working on a video on how to do it yourself, but it’s been a big project. Stay tuned.
The chains that reputedly bound St. Peter are on display in San Pientro en Vincola (St. Peter’s in Chains). Under the Papal Altar in St. Peter’s Basilica are the reputed bones of St. Peter. Along with the tombs of many popes.
We were moving so quickly we didn’t get a chance to see what was down there. Thanks for adding to the story!
My favourite part about this is the Pantheon! I didn't realize how ancient it is! And I like the one big source of natural light. The crowds are immense in this one. Glad you guys didn't get lost lol. What a fun day!
@@nickgarcia5047ng thank you for being our biggest fan!❤️
Fantastic video, thanks.
We really appreciate the kind words of encouragement! Thank you!
Great video just curious what type of camera did you use?
Great question…almost 100% of our footage was on a GoPro with supplemental video from our iPhones. As we learn more about video and RUclips, we’re told GoPro is not ideal for this kind of recording as it’s meant for action and sport capture. However, it’s all we’ve got right now and seems to be doing the job.
@@jpaw1965 awesome thanks ... The video quality looks great to me but I'm not a RUclipsr
My wife and I did Rome/Florence/Venice this past May. We hired private guides in each location, meaning it was just the two of us and the guide. It’s more expensive than group tours, but you have much more flexibility. You can change things on the fly, spend extra time in a particular place, and you’re not at the mercy of 20 or more other people. I highly recommend it if your budget allows. As for a general tips: 1) it’s tempting to cram as much as you can into your tours and trip overall. But be careful to not overextend yourself. You can’t see every museum, every church, every historical site, there’s simply too much. You’ll just end up frazzled and exhausted. Plan what’s most imports to you and give yourself a reasonable schedule. And 2) absolutely build in some free time to do the wander/get lost/explore thing. A healthy combination of both really made it an incredible experience.
We couldn’t agree more with your advice about over scheduling yourself. It also gives you an excuse to return to Italy to catch what you missed the first time 😉. We’d seen private guided tours offered from some of the big name tour companies, and you’re right; they can be much more expensive. We appreciate this comment as it offers an expanded take on our premise that you must decide what’s worth it to you. And it obviously was! Thanks for sharing your experience!
Great info! Thank you.
@@robertm.4916 thanks for your comment!
I have taken a few guided tours myself and I think the most valuable thing about it is the knowledge and expertise the guides shared… for example I tried roaming around louvre myself with the help of audio guide but the experience is wholly diff when I did a guided tour in prado Madrid.. I love all the sharings on the background of each art work! All the guides I had so far were so enthusiastic and passionate.. and I guess that makes the diff! I will definitely go for guided tours! 😊 thanks for the sharing!
We agree with you @jennykok4644. When we were doing the Pantheon without a guide, we found ourselves eavesdropping on some of the professional guides, taking in snippets of their expertise as we passed by.
Great video. Honest & informative. Our 4-person group is going to Italy (Rome, Florence & Venice) for 2 weeks then boarding a 10-day cruise. For the Italian cities, we are using a private tour company for 10 different services - including, airport transfers, transfers from Rome to Florence to Venice, exclusive Vatican, Full day Rome, Rome at Night, Florence & Pisa, Venice full day tour, etc. While these activities can be done much cheaper on your own, it is way less expensive than cruise company shore excursions and much more informative as the video states. This is the 1st time in Italy for 2 of our group and the 3rd time for the other 2. We have used this company each time and they are absolutely fantastic. For the cruise stops in Croatia, Slovenia, Montenegro & Greece, we booked through Get Your Guide at roughly 1/2 the cost of the cruise line’s excursion costs.
Due settimane Roma, Firenze, Pisa e Venezia: 🤦
@@RonCarrington-qm4uq we wish you safe travels and hope you have great experiences and make happy memories.
Ron, can you share what private tour company you're using?
@@dtovar2 absolutely. Discovery Guided Tours.
@@RonCarrington-qm4uq Thank you.
starting to research a possible Rome/Venicebtrip next year
@@travelingfool9096 safe travels! We hope your trip is fantastic.
I really appreciated this video and the options you explored. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment and words of encouragement!
I am more of a go get lost and figure things on my own traveler. Yes I do miss out on some things, but I discover many other things.
Thanks for your comment! That’s a great strategy. I bet you’ve discovered things that a typical traveler would miss.
Jason, are the tour companies you liked the same in other countries like Spain? I’d like to know the tour companies please! 😍
@@ForeverPilates hi Jodi. All the tour companies we used should be able to get you tours in Spain as well. We used big names like Viator, Get Your Guide and The Tour Guy. You book the tour with them and then when you get there, a local company actually provides the tour.
There is a new video up on the channel about tour companies.
The baroque opulence is almost overwhelming ❤! I'm shocked how empty it looks in the beginning. It makes the whole space seem even more massive! I love this one. I'm excited for the colosseum!
@@nickgarcia5047ng Nick we are so appreciative for your likes and comments ❤️
I love this one! Viewing cathedrals looks like a wonderful way to spend your time in Italy! And the train ride was so adorable 🥰
Thanks for the comment Nick! And the compliment!
So beautiful!!!!
Thank you for likes and comments Melinda!
