Even if I am sorry u met the Classic rude idiot at the beginng, dont take that idiot as the rapresentation of how italians are, we are not like that 💪😂😁
Oh you make me so excited to get back to Europe. My husband and I took our first trip to Europe when we were about your age - we are in our 70s and have been married 52 years and have returned to Europe 10 times. Those trip are some of the best times we have had together. We hope you have as much fun in your travels through life as we have!
Obviously the US is huge and there's a lot to see there but it's so crazy to me that so many Americans never leave, even just to Mexico, Canada or the Caribbean
That is sooooo cool that y’all got recognized in another country!! Just shows you that you guys are so awesome, that people watch you from all over the world.
If you ever come to Italy again, I recommended you to visit some other cities, like Milan or Florence, Venice, Bologna, Pisa, Positano (Amalfi coast), Alberobello or Assisi… there are so many more places that are worth visiting 💖🥰🙌🏻 Hugs from Italy 🇮🇹
How did Rome get split in two? With a pair of Caesars (kind of like your day, started off not well but ended up being a fun day!) You guys are awesome!
Thank you! The people in Rome are so nice! We even made friends with the barista at the Illy Espressamente by Hotel Nazionale Rome and she was the one that gave us a bunch of free macarons.
I’m just sitting here reminiscing when I flew into Rome in 2019…..glad you enjoyed visiting! Unfortunately, if you come across an Italian and they just “feel” like giving someone a hard time, they will. Most of the time, though, everyone is super nice; especially if they feel like you’re making an effort to speak the language/understand them. They appreciate that.
I've been to italy twice and it's very beautiful there, but we also had some bad experiences there. We got a huge fine on an otostrade because it was very different from what we know in our country so we made a few mistakes. I noticed in general that in italy they take advantage of tourists very often and over charge on things so be careful with everything you pay for and have fun!
@@MattandAbby One more thing. Italians tend to be proud of their culture. Careful over there. Had a wonderful Rome. Try their pizza. They had the best in the World. I recommend you to visit their beaches Watching from 🇫🇷🇩🇪
This was the earliest I ever saw the vlog! It was soo awesome! I have always wanted to go to France when I get married, so to see y’all travel like this together in Rome makes me feel like my dream will one day come true! Thanks Dudes! Love you both! Happy Travels!
Glad to see, the day turned out the way it did. And it's really refreshing to see you SO happy! Thank you, for the LOVE you're spilling all over the world :)
If you guys can go to Capri, I promise you won't regret making the time. Also, if you go you have to make it up to Ravello. It is the most beautiful place I've ever seen. Have a great trip!
A heartly welcome to Europe! Many greetings from germany, you are the best. Thanks for your visit. Keep your good work going. If you have time, spend a few days in Germany.
I’m so glad you uploaded rn! I have not been feeling good and had to stay home from school today! Hope you enjoyed your trip and loved the background music!!!
Y’all look like you’re having so much fun!! Enjoy every second :) don’t forget to slow down and just take it all in & appreciate being there together. 💗💗 Safe travels!!
The exact same thing happened to us when we went to Italy on public transport! Everyone else was lovely! Such a kind country! Also come to London UK too!!
LLOLLLL I’m literally Matt when I’m traveling hahaha LOVE SEEING YOU GUYS GET AN OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE SEEING THE SIGHTS! There’s no greater feeling 🥺💕 STAY SAFE
We had the same experience on the tram in Rome. It was very upsetting. Now we get taxi's when we go. It's a shame as the rest of the city and it's people are incredible.
Fun times! Traveling light is the way to go. 12 years ago (2009) my wife and I did a crazy tour of Great Britain and Europe-7 countries in all. We took only one backpack each. So much easier! I recommend it to anyone traveling overseas. To bad about the ticket confusion, but it happens. We had a ticket issue in the Netherlands. Our tickets were good for 24 or 48 hours but had been initially dated wrong making it look like they had expired. The ticket master (who was a nice lady) believed us and didn't kick us off the tram.
I doubt anyone will see this, but I've been watching a few of your videos and I'm blown away by how grounded you are. For 3.5M subs, I would think it's a leased Range Rover or Tesla (ugh), a McMansion, business/first class flights, and gaudy designer labels. So jaded by these other young people on YT who don't seem to know the value of $ and how hard some had to work to get there. You guys are on a great path and I wish nothing but wonderful things in your future! I'm honestly inspired.
I am sorry that you got fined. The thing is that in Italy those controllers that you encountered don’t get on on every bus pr tram. There are lot’s of people who just use public transportation and don’t pay because they don’t validate the ticket. So you were definitely not fined because you were a tourist.There are random controls and they give the person a high ticket so you don’t “forget” to validate next time. I’ve been fined 2 times in Italy because I forgot to validate. It is what it is. It happens that if the controller is in a good day will just close an eye, but they don’t usually forgive anyone and rightfully so.
i love how their reaction is just so stereotypically american: they didnt inform themselves how the ticket system works and just "did it". then they get fined for not having a valid ticket, and of course they were the poor targeted americans who couldnt have possibly know anything since everything is in italian and theres totally not hundres of sites that explain all that shit to you in english - nono the kicker was them comparing a bus/tram system in italy to a train ticketing system in america and thinking its gonna be the same without any reading on their part.
I come from Italy and I am just super excited that you guys are having a good time!! Of course, I’m sorry for the not too good welcoming you got, but I’m sure you’ll get use to everything soon and be able to enjoy this country, that I find amazing! ❤️✨
Hey guys, I'm from Croatia, I really like you and your videos, I'm so glad that you're going to see Dubrovnik, it's very beautiful and I can say that nature in Croatia is just amazing. I hope that one day you would come visit more parts of my country. Hope you're having great time. Greeting from Cro
I’m so happy for you dudes! Looks like the best trip ever! Hope you both have a great trip and make lifelong memories! Take lots of pictures! Be safe! Much love from Tennessee dudes!
Sorry the train into the city wasn’t great but I’m so glad the trip turned around for you guys with the free macaroons!! Rome is one of the places we are most excited to visit!
I am SUPER glad you guys got to travel around Rome!!! Italy is by far, my favorite place I have ever visited!!!! I went to France, Italy, and Greece!!! Italy was my favorite! Greece was my 2nd favorite!!! I can’t wait to hear about your Greece experience!!! Keep having fun on your vacation!!!! 💖🥰
i realized the banner at the end where you said to subscribe, it said 600K subscribers and I was like oh my gosh! they're almost at 700K. you guys are awesome and I hope and pray you have a wonderful vacation. God bless.
Y’all my brother and I went to Italy in 2017 & we were also not welcomed but the entire time. Nevertheless, we still had an amazing time! Hope y’all are staying safe and enjoying your trip! ☺️💗🇮🇹
I lived in Italy for awhile and there is definitely some culture shock when you get there. I always tell people it’s not for the light hearted traveler and usually recommend going somewhere a little easier for a first overseas experience. You will definitely be targeted as Americans, watch out for people trying to ‘help you’ at the train station kiosks and stuff, they aren’t employees and aren’t there to help and will demand a tip for their ‘services’ afterwards. And be super careful with your money and important documents because pick pockets are super common, petty theft isn’t taken as seriously in Italy.
Hi! I am currently enrolled as a student at Grand Valley State University and I am studying Hospitality and Tourism Management. I have an assignment where I have to gather information on other travel influencers and I chose you guys because you happen to be my favorite! I had a few questions for you guys starting with, When and how did you discover you wanted to travel for your job? What is one of your favorite places you have been to? What is your favorite and least favorite part of this industry? I hope you guys see this and are able to respond! Thanks!!!
My family and I went to Italy in July 2018. Went to Rome, Naples, Florence, and Venice. We visited all the main places you did but we didn't take a tour to see the coliseum
Disclaimer: I pronounced “Pantheon” wrong as well as “macaron” (and probably a lot of other words too lol). Just trying my best :) -Matt
Dont worry, us italians are very nice people with everybody, Italians and not😁
Even if I am sorry u met the Classic rude idiot at the beginng, dont take that idiot as the rapresentation of how italians are, we are not like that 💪😂😁
It's ok don't worry
WHAT?! You are here in Europe?? 😮😮 Come over to Austria! :) :)
😂😂😂
As somebody from Europe I was just smiling during the whole video for how exciting it was for you
Yay!! We absolutely love it here! And we still have a whole week left :)
just like you guys when visiting time square for the first time
@@MattandAbby i'm italian and i living in Rome
I had tears on my eyes when I first saw this beauty. Truly something hard to explain.
Oh you make me so excited to get back to Europe. My husband and I took our first trip to Europe when we were about your age - we are in our 70s and have been married 52 years and have returned to Europe 10 times.

Ciao Carol , tornate presto nella vecchia Europa , felicita' per te e tuo marito🤗

Benvenuti in Italia ♥️♥️
That is sooooo cool that y’all got recognized in another country!! Just shows you that you guys are so awesome, that people watch you from all over the world.
hopefully that is the only bad encounter you have! I know a few Italians and they are super friendly... Great video guy's
When in Rome, be glad that Matt & Abby are sharing their adventure with us!
The earliest I’ve ever been! & I NEEDED this after doing bad on an exam
Aww I am sorry to hear that if it makes you feel better your not the only one 😊
All the Love from Italy!♥️
If you ever come to Italy again, I recommended you to visit some other cities, like Milan or Florence, Venice, Bologna, Pisa, Positano (Amalfi coast), Alberobello or Assisi… there are so many more places that are worth visiting 💖🥰🙌🏻 Hugs from Italy 🇮🇹
Idiot stere
I have been to Italy before and it’s so weird to see the exact spots where we walked and took pictures in! Enjoy your trip! ❤️
My recommendation is to eat as much local food as you can. Have a nice trip!! Hope to see you guys in Europe in the future!!
We’ve been doing our best to eat local every day when we leave the cruise ship and we’ve been blown away. The gyros in Greece are soooo good!!
How did Rome get split in two?
With a pair of Caesars
(kind of like your day, started off not well but ended up being a fun day!) You guys are awesome!
Thank you! The people in Rome are so nice! We even made friends with the barista at the Illy Espressamente by Hotel Nazionale Rome and she was the one that gave us a bunch of free macarons.

So jealous. The wife and I had what sounds like the same cruise booked for 2 years for last summer and that got ruined obviously. Have fun!
Oh the food!!! Love seeing it all through your eyes!! And so cool you’re meeting dudes on your travels!!!
i went to italy a few years ago and this is making me want to go back so bad🥺 so glad your day turned around and got better!
I've been to italy twice and it's very beautiful there, but we also had some bad experiences there.

Thanks for sharing! Other than our tram issue everything has been great!

I hope you are not confusing Italy with France😳
Glad to see, the day turned out the way it did. And it's really refreshing to see you SO happy! Thank you, for the LOVE you're spilling all over the world :)
Matt is such a dork lol so glad your guys' day turned around for the better! and thank you for taking us along the way it was a great trip!! Lol
I found that “no fight” agreement handshake so cute bc I can relate hahahah
Lol already failed that 🤣
this was such an interesting and fun vlog to watch! thank you for sharing with us!!!
If you guys can go to Capri, I promise you won't regret making the time. Also, if you go you have to make it up to Ravello. It is the most beautiful place I've ever seen. Have a great trip!
Hii from an Italian fan!! This was super fun to watch!
Just gotta shake the negativity off ❤️ Been to Italy once, absolutely beautiful! Cherish these moments!!
You guys have an energy that is contagious, I love the travel videos! 😁
A heartly welcome to Europe! Many greetings from germany, you are the best. Thanks for your visit. Keep your good work going. If you have time, spend a few days in Germany.
You guys are finally here in Italy🇮🇹! I'm so excited for you, hope you have the best time
I’m so glad you uploaded rn! I have not been feeling good and had to stay home from school today! Hope you enjoyed your trip and loved the background music!!!

I'm so glad you loved it! I myself have been to Rome once and it truly is a city like no other... Sending love from Europe! 😘🤗🇪🇺🇵🇱

I love your excitement and hype in this video 🥰
Omggg ur travel videos are so underrated this was soooo fun!!
LLOLLLL I’m literally Matt when I’m traveling hahaha LOVE SEEING YOU GUYS GET AN OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE SEEING THE SIGHTS! There’s no greater feeling 🥺💕 STAY SAFE
Thank you so much for sharing you two are so fun so glad I found you guys thru Talia and Rogers channel you two are so great. Stay safe ❤
I was just in Rome last week!! Such a beautiful city.
We had the same experience on the tram in Rome. It was very upsetting. Now we get taxi's when we go. It's a shame as the rest of the city and it's people are incredible.
Lol we started taking ubers afterwards. But the public trains are still where it’s at. They’re fast, super clean, and very affordable 🙌🏼
Fun times! Traveling light is the way to go. 12 years ago (2009) my wife and I did a crazy tour of Great Britain and Europe-7 countries in all. We took only one backpack each. So much easier! I recommend it to anyone traveling overseas.
To bad about the ticket confusion, but it happens. We had a ticket issue in the Netherlands. Our tickets were good for 24 or 48 hours but had been initially dated wrong making it look like they had expired. The ticket master (who was a nice lady) believed us and didn't kick us off the tram.
I swear no one uploads as fast as you guys! I was just watching your Vegas video🎉
I doubt anyone will see this, but I've been watching a few of your videos and I'm blown away by how grounded you are. For 3.5M subs, I would think it's a leased Range Rover or Tesla (ugh), a McMansion, business/first class flights, and gaudy designer labels. So jaded by these other young people on YT who don't seem to know the value of $ and how hard some had to work to get there. You guys are on a great path and I wish nothing but wonderful things in your future! I'm honestly inspired.
Dubrovnik old city is amazing. I loved it. Find the Game of Thrones store and sit on the iron throne.
I am sorry that you got fined. The thing is that in Italy those controllers that you encountered don’t get on on every bus pr tram. There are lot’s of people who just use public transportation and don’t pay because they don’t validate the ticket.
So you were definitely not fined because you were a tourist.There are random controls and they give the person a high ticket so you don’t “forget” to validate next time. I’ve been fined 2 times in Italy because I forgot to validate. It is what it is. It happens that if the controller is in a good day will just close an eye, but they don’t usually forgive anyone and rightfully so.
i love how their reaction is just so stereotypically american:
they didnt inform themselves how the ticket system works and just "did it".
then they get fined for not having a valid ticket, and of course they were the poor targeted americans who couldnt have possibly know anything since everything is in italian and theres totally not hundres of sites that explain all that shit to you in english - nono
the kicker was them comparing a bus/tram system in italy to a train ticketing system in america and thinking its gonna be the same without any reading on their part.
I come from Italy and I am just super excited that you guys are having a good time!! Of course, I’m sorry for the not too good welcoming you got, but I’m sure you’ll get use to everything soon and be able to enjoy this country, that I find amazing! ❤️✨
Binge watching I definitely have to visit Rome one day
Looks amazing, thank you for showing this
Note about Italy’s there should be a machines outside the train, punch or scan ticket before getting on.
Love the fact that Matt’s reading The Mark Of Athena. Amazing series. Love it soo much!
I'm very happy to see this channel's growth hope it would continue until u r satisfied 👍
Thanks you guys for taking us along with u love y'all ❤️😍
Thank you guys for posting these, experiencing that myself would make me broke
Try the cream puffs there!!!! They're supposed to be amazing!!!
There are just bad and good people everywhere. Hope you have a blast for the next part of your trip! 💕
Hey guys, I'm from Croatia, I really like you and your videos, I'm so glad that you're going to see Dubrovnik, it's very beautiful and I can say that nature in Croatia is just amazing. I hope that one day you would come visit more parts of my country. Hope you're having great time. Greeting from Cro
All that food looked amazing!! So glad you showed us. Now I'm hungry...lol
Loved this! You guys are living my dreams! Italy, Hawaii, cruises, RUclips, love! I love watching y’all thanks for always making my day! 😊
And ofc to be able to one day even meet you 🥰 while you guys are traveling
I am Italian and I hope you enjoyed my country❤️
wow you guys enjoy yourselfs now and don't need to post everything as long as you dudes are having fun we are happy. I love Roman food btw
In Seattle you either scan your Orca card before you get on or you buy a ticket and do nothing with it, unless transit does random walk throughs.
Wow you guys go on some awesome adventures!!! Rome is on my bucket list!! Have a blast!!!Be safe!!💕💕💕💕💕
I’m so happy for you dudes! Looks like the best trip ever! Hope you both have a great trip and make lifelong memories! Take lots of pictures! Be safe! Much love from Tennessee dudes!
I’m so early! I’ve been waiting for this video!!!🥰 you both make my day
Sorry the train into the city wasn’t great but I’m so glad the trip turned around for you guys with the free macaroons!! Rome is one of the places we are most excited to visit!
You're in Italy! You're in my country! Have a good holiday! Try a lot of food, Italian food rules!
I'd love to spend a month traveling all through Italy. I mainly want to go to Florence.
I’m going to Italy next year (first time out of the country for me too). This video was very helpful!
I really hope you have an amazing time. A lot of love from Croatia🇭🇷❤️
Why did I laugh so hard when Matt called macarons pistachios 😂😂
I am SUPER glad you guys got to travel around Rome!!! Italy is by far, my favorite place I have ever visited!!!! I went to France, Italy, and Greece!!! Italy was my favorite! Greece was my 2nd favorite!!! I can’t wait to hear about your Greece experience!!! Keep having fun on your vacation!!!! 💖🥰
Not sure why all youtubers are coming to Italy this year but I’m all about it! Love this
I'm subscribed and post notifications are on, I love you guys so much ❤
