Been there twice now and would return in a heartbeat. Did you hike up to the castle to look around inside and then get the most amazing views of the harbor below? Did you visit the churches? Did you walk through the amazing cemetery? We had great meals there so all you need to do is read the posted menus ahead of time. You can bike ride or rent scooters to go along the coast to S. Margherita. One woman told us she walked there and back and thoroughly enjoyed it! Sounds like you showed up with a bad attitude and sought to prove yourselves correct. You succeeded!
🤣 feel free to watch our other 5 incredibly positive videos from other areas of Italy. We just don’t believe in not being honest with how we feel about a place 🤷🏻♀️ We ended up going there on a day trip from Genoa and actually planned on filming a very positive video - seems you’re right that it’s a place that needs some research prior to going to find the right spots. Thanks for commenting and for watching❤️
I have just returned from there and would go back instantly, it was stunningly beautiful and laid back. Some of the Americans who showed up though were very brash and very loud! sorry but there were, not quiet or respectful just loud! not all, but some.
@@1DayAsADog we didn't spend much when we were there either. You don't need to. There is so much to take in as @DeaconTom said. They just didn't bother to look.
This is such a sad video... you go to Portofino and Ligurian cities and vilages in general for snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, frito di mare, or in general fish based food, you also go there for the caves, castles, hiking trails, and sunsets. You actualy do not need to spend a fortune for all this. The beach you were on is called baia di olivetta is not meant for sun bathing since it is mostly under the shade throughout the day. You pretty missed 99% of what the area has to offer. Probably a rage bait clip, since nobody is forcing you yo buy designer clothes from high-end shops. You will find Gucci and Prada stores in some remote areas of Italy as well, not sure why the surprise since these are Italian brands and are also part of Italian culture.
they chose to have lunch at "" a place that mostly does drinks ''" instead of one of the many good restaurants - and then they complain about the food. they are obviously not sophisticated enough to appreciate Portofino.
Well actually the better restaurants are not right in Portofino that's more like a terrorist spot so put the food there is still going to be decent it's Italy but the surrounding areas there is better food around you know it's a place to be seen the natural beauty there is second to none that's why people go there
Typical Americans ! Portofino is beautiful and for i can see you didn’t even go to visit the whole area , from above, and so on so many beautiful path and views it’s stunning oh wait probably too much walking for you 2 should have gone to Florida that suits you better 😂

Two rednecks visiting europe It's just not up to their high standards. Where's McDonalds? Where's the BBQ pit? No sports bar to watch the Dallas Cowboys? LOL
Lok girls, you needed to tour the castle that overlooks the port. Have a real meal for lunch or dinner. I understand you are on a budget, but live a little and enjoy a brandy or glass of wine and cigar at night. Walk along the promenade and don't be so stuck up. Spend less money on the ear rings and glasses and more on your other indulgences. Florida or L.A. beaches may be a better fit for you two.
Some people are never satisfied. All the things you complain about have to do with wealth and money, your complaining only tells us you have neither. Like a homeless person going into a Gucci store to complain about high prices
That's nonsense. It is a pretty dull city. Looks good and a great place for a sleepover or lunch. I will be going though on Wednesday as I have a few times and I can afford the fun. I'm on a road trip with my F8. Like I said it is a good looking town, but it is also like many other tourist traps along the SS1. Is it expensive? Not really. Shopping is if you look for high end brands. Does it cater to the more upscale crowd? To an extent, at least it kind of tries to. It's an odd place in this regard. It has one of the worst Michelin star restaurants in al of Italy - yes I'm talking about Delfino. Tourist trap
To use bus 82 you need to have a special ticket with an inflated price. Only residents of Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure can use the normal AMT ticket for the provincial lines
If you are poor or don't want to spend your money, just stay at home. Nobody gives you anything for free either in Italy or in the United States. If you need alms going to Portofino is not a good idea. Portofino is a splendid place, but for those who have the money.
You tried making a video with a title that you thought would catch a lot of viewrship instead 13K and 95% negative responses. You really thought a 5 minute video would be sufficient to review a world famous tourist spot especially with both your attitudes? Fuggetaboutit!

Whenever I return Home from overseas I feel a quite sad feeling like a longing to keep going or remain where I am. These 2 don't look like they will get that feeling even when surrounded by such beauty.

Maybe some people could of have tried to enjoy the scenery rather than worry about all the tiny things, especially if you go somewhere expecting the best your bound to be disappointed, to me it looks beautiful still!
The title was set after the video was filmed. We planned to film a very positive day in Portofino when we went and we were actually surprised to be disappointed about a place that people talk so highly of. We just don’t believe in lying to our viewers about our personal experience 🤷🏻♀️
Just stay home would be best for you two. If you can’t afford it; go to Bali or Thailand somewhere where you might fit in? Portofino is a classy seasonal town. Everywhere on earth has similar business model when seasonal. The rest of the year there’s not so much business. It’s heaven on earth!!!!

enjoyed the video but my question is "What do you look for when you go some place". Is it the Historic sites, architecture, food, music, people, weather, price, etc. just curious ??
Portofino is a place you drive through for fun. Maybe a sleepover, a lunch or shopping on a road trip from Nice to Rome for example. Not sure about the shopping though. There are the same shops you find in most European metropolitan cities. The appeal to many of us are the mountain roads north of the city and around the city area. The city itself, is just another city along SS1. I can't imagine staying there for a weekend let alone a week, and I can definitely afford the shopping and activities there. The hype? Did not know there was a hype. It's just another SS1 tourist trap. Maybe I view it differently being European.
The things you did in Portofino are not the things one goes to Portofino to do. Portofino is a context, a setting for the fun you bring to it... also why have lunch (and clearly choose the wrong thing on the menu) at a Cafe instead of a Trattoria. Such inappropriate clothes too, you packed that for Portofino? Yikes!
I lived in italy which im blessed i was able to do that. But to film a gorg town in italian rivera with what appears to be a premeditated attempt to out it down due to ritzy yachts high end restaurants etc is shameful. Your not going there to” buy a lifestyle” rather appreciate the beauty of town .. beautiful castle there emerald coves . You guys are just trying to be different . Your manhole ear loops have distorted your logic

Aren’t you just a joy to have on our page. Broke no. budget travel yes we don’t believe that you have to be rich to enjoy traveling the world as you can see from our other videos in Italy. We’ve had a wonderful time traveling pretty much anywhere in the world without spending exorbitant amounts of money. We just don’t believe in lying to people and felt this location was very overrated.
I have family from the area near by its all beautiful around there but portifino is just a little more beautiful in my opinion it's easily one of the most beautiful places on earth actually these 2 are strange and rent a car next time and go in the morning and not on the weekend when it's not too busy only problem with Portofino is getting there the traffic on the weekends is crazy.
Portifino is nice to visit for the scenery. What were you expecting? That people would hand you money? If you were rich and drove a ferrari there and owned a yacht you would not complain 😂
😂 of course not, what a silly thing to say. We were expecting more than mediocre food and super luxury shopping. Now we know that’s what you get there - wonderful place for the very rich, we were just disappointed
@@ShannonxAaron the scenery is actually very nice in Portofino. Bad food or good food is everywhere I bet you can find good food in Portofino also bad if you want. Yes yachts and really expensive stuff is always for the rich wherever you go.... yes there is nice placec with no super rich. But if you go to Portofino or monaco you can't complain about the super rich you have to expect that.
I've only just come across this channel, and I must say that Aaron has the most hypnotic stare when he lets Shannon talk in BG :) and those ears are scary...but I guess I'm hooked now.

LOL no, definitely not - feel free to check out our other videos from our time in Italy. It was an incredible trip. This just wasn't our favorite part of it - thanks for watching!
Absolutely! We really loved Boccadasse which is a super short train ride from the center of Genova and reminded us of the movie Luca. Albaro had some very pretty beach clubs :)

This could definitely be true!! We expected magic and unfortunately it just came up short for us on this first go around 🤷🏻♀️ happens sometimes in any travel we do
Guys, I got you totally. I spend a lot of money and time on Italy last year and only the South makes justice. Genova, Cinque Terre, really disappointing and nobody talks about it!! You are not wrong!
@@lolasmith2002yes, you’re probably right. But still I’ve seen enough to appreciate the beauty,the history and the culture of a city, whether it is Italian or not. Thank you for your condolences which I reciprocate with all my❤.
Florida seems like a better fit for you two. 🤌🏻

If it wasn't a nice place those Yachts wouldn't go there now would they it's kind of ridiculous what they're saying if you think about it
You can tell they go the cheap route and not to really dive in an indulge in the true lux of the city
you don't need money to enjoy Portofino.

Portofino is one of my favorite places in Italy. Just stunning, even on a budget.
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦we love u
It’s a touriste trap 😂 I was there it’s nice but you will be done in 10 minutes it’s just a small town
The Amalfi Coast is WAY more beautiful and interesting than Portofino or Cinque Terre region. Amalfi Coast is simply SPECTACULAR
We thank God 😅🎉
Best thing …?no return ever ….!!
Portofino is not for everybody 😂
Europe in general too expensive
Disappointed cause you’re poor? 😂😂😂
Sorry people but…. who cares?
Good.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Sarebbe bella senza tutte quelle barche…hanno ragione,una zona monetizza è bastata
Cosa?
Portofino Its boring and plastic, its only for very few rich people, i suggest you go to sardegna.
There are many spots in Liguria that are cheap and gorgeous...
You Are Poor
Definitely overrated 👍🏻
Hai rotto le scatole?!! I struggle to take any kind of advice from a guy who turned his earlobes into calamari🤌🏽
Thanks for being honest! Generally like Italy, but some places are just overrated. Venice is one of them.
Gusti tuoi.
@@pinky6789 yes, mine and others. Italians are being butthurt over it. 🤭
@@lolasmith2002how can someone with art, culture and history knowledge say Venice is overrated?….. ohhh I see
@@nicolettastrada5976 you haven’t seen much in your sad life, did you? Condolences …
@@lolasmith2002yes, you’re probably right. But still I’ve seen enough to appreciate the beauty,the history and the culture of a city, whether it is Italian or not. Thank you for your condolences which I reciprocate with all my❤.
