Thanks Nelson! Having just been to Rome we'd agree with that. It also makes for a nice place to base yourself if you want to visit Sorrento, Herculaneum and Naples. It is cheaper and less crowded and offers some great local restaurants too.
You prolly dont care but if you are bored like me atm you can watch pretty much all of the latest series on instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my girlfriend for the last few days =)
@@samuelandaudrey We will be in Pompeii around Jan 23, 2020. You guys kept mentioning how cold it was in December. What were the temps? We are from Iowa, usa and we are used to 0 degree temps this time of year. Great video btw!
Have loved watching your travel videos and were very informative for our Europe trip July Aug 2018...and still enjoy watching them now for places we visited on our trip...all the way from New Zealand
Pompeii is so beautiful. Great video as always :) I hope it's fine if I correct you on one thing. It's a common misconception that the stones in the street were stepping stones. People used to walk in the street not on what we call the sidewalk. That was used for merchants selling their products. The stones were actually a form of street signs similar to ours. They showed if the street was a one way (two stones) or a two way (three stones) street for horse-carts.
Pompeii needs minimum three full days if you are interested in Roman archaeology. It is, after all, a city, one of four obliterated by the volcano. One of the great concerts in that amphitheatre was David Gilmour, PF's guitarist - see Comfortably Numb and SOYCD of course, right here on YT He and the premium artists he's assembled play the Floyd tracks better than I've ever heard before. If you're going to Naples/Pompeii with an interest in the archaeology then GO ALONE!!! I did, and stayed in a little guest house, and the bloke who ran it was tremendously helpful, offering lifts into town or to that station. He spoke so many languages that I felt ashamed of only being fluent in one and a bit.
I ate a margarita for the first time ever because of your video. That's the power of your presentation. Thanks for the background on Pompeii being swamped by the volcano. You did a good job showing the old and new parts of the city. A lot of information in a short time. One downside is the focusing. Sometimes, the shots are out of focus. Overall, I would this video to anyone. I've seen it several times.
The blurry focus was when you were talking into the camera with your face centered. This happened two or three times. The blurriness is a distraction when everything is out of focus. Overall, your shots are sharp. Craigo's Pizzeria in Austin TX makes their Margarita Pizza with sliced roma tomatoes laid on top of the mozzarella cheese which melted over the entire pie. There is almost no flavor. There is no sauce. The tomatoes are the sauce. I ate the entire extra-large pizza because I was starving. However, I would not recommend that pizza from that restaurant. Your pizzas from the Pompeii and Naples restaurants looked moist and colorful. I believed you when you two remarked how good the pizzas were. I like how you vary the shots with slow motion. One recommendation that I have for you two as a photographer is for you to wear neutral colors with no ornate designs. Your clothing in some shots attract too much attention which detracts from your subject. Regardless, you two are making a living with your passion! I'm enjoying the fruits of your labor. I'm 54 years old, and I'm glad that I'll die long before you two so that I can continue to be entertained and informed forever.
I went during high season to Pompeii and it wasn't that bad. There are so many streets that it just gets spread out. The tours don't show you all the cool stuff either so they are concentrated in the "main" areas.
great vid guys!! thank you. I'll be in Italy this coming MOnday, God's willing. Question: I have watched vids about tours on Pompeii etc, no one mention where the bathrooms are or if there are drinking water; I'm taking my water bottle with filter just in case. Thanks!
You mention very little about the town of Pompeii itself. Of coarse the draw is the ruin site but what can you tell us about the city itself? Is going to the ruin site the only attraction. Is the town of Pompeii worth staying a night?
Thanks Scott! It is a nice location as it nearby Naples as well for a day trip without the big city feeling. You can use it as a base for other day trips as well.
I love your videos. How far are the ruins from the actuall city of New Pompeii? Is it walkable for lunch? We will be taking a train from Sorrento to Pompeii.
How do you determine what your food budget will be? Is it a day to day, or meal to meal plan? I was thinking that if I knew where I was going to have a large meal I'd obviously cheap out on the other two, but you guys seem to discover amazing places all day long. How do you choose where to spend and where to save? (Of course please share anything else beyond what I asked, I love all your tips and suggestions...🤗)
Pompeii is beautiful! my family and I were there during the summer of 2016 and let me tell you it was boiling! the weather was crazy that day it was so windy in the beginning and then the sun came out and oh my goodness was it hot! but it didn't matter we enjoyed our trip.
Krisia Vaca Yes. 2016 was one of the hottest summers we experienced in Naples. I remember clearly summer were hot, but not so much awful to bear when I was a kid in the seventies, and there was lesser humidity than today too, so no sweating at all. More! If you take a look at the sun at six or seven P.M. today it is still burning hot, really like a burning coin pin out right in the middle of the sky. When in the past I remember the sun at 7 P.M. could be spotted for some seconds with bare eyes as it was already sunsetting and changing color due to lower position in the sky and lesser burning in aspect than today. Today in XXI century the sun it still looks hot like it was high noon upto very advanced sunset! I am a living witness of the climate changings.
Hi, it's a good stuff, I've be following for a while now. This time Pompeii brought me here. We'll be there in the first days of October. What's the weather like in Campania in October?
That's what we are aiming for. Nice warm days, but no scorching heat! Hopefully it won't be raining, but we keep all the underground Naples for a rainy day. Thanks again! Bon voyage!
And in the centre of the modern city of Pompei it is also interesting to visit the Sanctuary, that is one of the most visited churches in Italy for the devotion of the cult to Virgin Mary. It is interesting to see the Ex-Voto museum. Ex-Voto are testimonies and gifts made to the sanctuary by those who found themselves in distress and/or danger for their lives and invoked Virgin Mary and then being saved. You can see hundreds and hundreds silver plates shaped with the form of the arts and organs of the body that according to the faithfuls were saved by intercession of Virgin Mary grom amputation or during operations (livers, kidneys, hearts), models and paintings of boats in danger at sea (all with various degrees of artistic skills, from naïf to very skilled ones), dozens of photos of the people who were saved, etcetera. Very touching museum. When I was a kid I found very creepy this parade of silver limbs with their naïf design forms, but when an adult I can understand the piety behind these strange gifts and the fear that these people suffered.
Just jump on the train and go to Pompeii Scavi. You can get to Herculaneum (Scavi) on the same train line. If staying you should stay near Sorrento and get the train in. Naples is a bit rough as a holiday destination.
I have seen some videos made of tourists going around pompei and I felt like punching those people as they had little or no respect for their surroundings. That place is a cemetery of sorts, people died there so them doing yoga up columns and acting like fools did no favours to antiquity. You guys on the other hand were very respectful, full of information and I just loved the fact you enjoyed yourselves!! Thank you for the share ❤️❤️❤️
Sam and Aud, im from England but you should try Arezzo in Tuscany, or Giulianova (6 miles of beach!!!) just a tip from one of your subscribers (Still putting weight on watching your videos!!!) :p
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos the show “destination truth” did an investigation their. It might be on RUclips. They caught some interesting evidence!
Remember that with 13 euro ticket you can visit Pompeii, but with 15 euro "Archeological Circuit Ticket" you can visit Herculaneum and Oplontis too paying once, if you organize your trip to see all the sites in only one day. 😊
thousands of years ago, people were struggling to grasp life from the scorching air burning in their lungs. thousands of years later, at the same place of many people's demise: 1:51
Hey Guys, loved the video as always! BUT, the last 1/3 of the video was just copied from the last video! Are you guys losing interest in the VLOG? We just seem to be getting less and less - less often! I've started looking at other VLOGs as they post consistently. If you have other projects elsewhere please let us know, we would love to follow you regularly. I think that is the key, to have a regular posting schedule. I hope you guys feel the passion again, I understand that maybe you are just 'over' travelling :-(
I stumbled across your videos while researching my upcoming trip to Italy. I've watch a few of them now and I've really enjoyed them but can you please stop eating pizza with a knife and fork!! That's not how pizza should be eaten. My only criticism. sorry.

I've been told that this is one of the best places too see the authentic ruins. Even better than Rome. Nice adventure guys! Hugs.

@Yahir Davion Definitely, been using instaflixxer for since november myself :D
Thank you for putting this video on RUclips because this is what I am learning in school
Thanks! Glad it was helpful.
I will be there in Pompeii this October 2019 on my 60th birthday. This is my birthday wish. Thanks for uploading from London 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! How exciting to hear! Happy birthday and what a great way to celebrate :)

Pizza in Pompeii!!😘💯 Can U smell the Aroma in the street? Nicely done, fun video🥰
Yes, we sure could! Miss it so much.
Pompeii is just stunning ❤️
Thank you! It sure is. I wish we had a second day to revisit.
Volcano: “I THINK NOT!”
Just a joke but it really is stunning
The ruins of Pompeii are absolutly beautiful! Very nice video :-)
Thank you very much!
Very good vlog. Enjoyed seeing the insides of houses and the art. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it Danial! Thanks!
Great video. Reminds me about the report I did about Pompeii back in high school.
Thanks! Oh, that is cool to hear! I remember doing a report about Machu Picchu.
We'd love to visit Pompeii sometime. Great seeing you guys visiting it.
Thanks! Highly recommend it :)
Have loved watching your travel videos and were very informative for our Europe trip July Aug 2018...and still enjoy watching them now for places we visited on our trip...all the way from New Zealand
Thank you very much! Ah, we still need to visit NZ. My parents are going there this winter! They're so excited.

Pompei ! Wow how cool place ! I looove Italy :) Loves guys!
So good to see you in Italy .It is an amazing video! You are so good doing videos ! You are the best ☺
Thank you! So happy to be visiting.
I really want to stay in Pompeii to take in the area and be close to the ruins and Vesuvius. Thank you for giving me an idea of what to expect!
Thanks! Highly recommend it. Great base to do day trips as well.
That’s really amazing! There’s actually an exhibition about Pompeii in downtown Phoenix AZ. You guys make me wanna check it out now. 👍🏼☀️🎥
Thank you! That is awesome to hear. Highly recommending going.

Thank you!
Your videos are so great. I really enjoy seeing the world with you two !

I ate a margarita for the first time ever because of your video. That's the power of your presentation.
Thanks for the background on Pompeii being swamped by the volcano.
You did a good job showing the old and new parts of the city. A lot of information in a short time.
One downside is the focusing. Sometimes, the shots are out of focus. Overall, I would this video to anyone. I've seen it several times.
Thank you very much! What did you think of the pizza? We'll try to improve our focussing. It is an issue at times especially if we're zooming indoors.
The blurry focus was when you were talking into the camera with your face centered. This happened two or three times. The blurriness is a distraction when everything is out of focus. Overall, your shots are sharp.

I might go for a school trip, hard to decide between this and Disneyland and Paris
Thank you!
Same my teacher said we HAVE to take a trip to Italy
Omg! I always wanted to see how the basilica of Pompeii looked like! Thanks guys 👏👍🏼🙏😊
Thank you! We really enjoyed staying there for our base to explore the city, ruins and other nearby places.
Bellisima grandisima sta anche il campanile venite a visitare
You guys are amazing.Thank you for sharing your experiences.May God bless you.
Thank you very much!
I went during high season to Pompeii and it wasn't that bad. There are so many streets that it just gets spread out. The tours don't show you all the cool stuff either so they are concentrated in the "main" areas.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Love your videos. Very helpful for my upcoming trip. Wondering which site you preferred more - Pompeii or Herculaneum?
Thanks Kim! Pompeii is more impressive but more crowded. Herculaneum is less crowded. If possible visit both but maybe Pompeii if one over the other.
@@samuelandaudrey Thanks so much for the advice.
great vid guys!! thank you. I'll be in Italy this coming MOnday, God's willing.
Question: I have watched vids about tours on Pompeii etc, no one mention where the bathrooms are or if there are drinking water; I'm taking my water bottle with filter just in case. Thanks!
Great! The food looks great! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! There are some great places to eat in town.
This pizza looks amazing! I love margarita pizza :)
Thank you1 It was delicious.

Thank you for this wonderful travel video! Subscribed!
Historical place!
Thanks!
Hello Samuel and Audrey have you both done any food/travel guide in barcelona
Thanks! We made a guide a few years ago --> "25 things to do in barcelona" if you search for that in YT.
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos thank you I will have a look, I'm going barcelona this year

That's what we are aiming for. Nice warm days, but no scorching heat! Hopefully it won't be raining, but we keep all the underground Naples for a rainy day. Thanks again! Bon voyage!

Thanks Damien! That's exciting to hear. We'll try to put the fork down ;)
Hey, same day as the election!
I've been reading about that!
I liked the video all the way until she started eating pizza with a knife and a fork!

Pizza is junk.
It can definitely be junk food but the authentic Italian pizza using quality ingredients isn't.
