    Thank you so much for that Pantheon hint. I've walked past it several times this week and did not want to wait in that line. I will give this a try tomorrow for sure! 🙂
  • @user-bc4kt6nc1p
    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 😊
  • 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. ❤
  • @kenlauderdale954
    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! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
  • @peterjones7673
