Your videos are amazing: the way you present it, the locations, the wordings you use to tell your audience what they should know and the list goes on. Bravo!
Wherever you stay in SUMMER a hotel with AIR CONDITIONING is ESSENTIAL!! and explore dont just stare at the fountain at bottom of spanish steps for hours.If you like modernist architecture i recommend EUR a short metro journey from centre and CAFE NECCI in PIGNETO area a former haunt of PASSOLINI .
Thanks again for the amount of work you guys put into these videos, my wife and I have our first trip to Italy coming up soon. We decided on an AirBNB in Monti while we are in Rome based on your recommendations. Trestevere looks amazing but it did seem like Monti would be more central for us since we are there for 8 days. Using you guys for our tours in Venice and Rome too! Keep up the great work!
@@TheTourGuyVids Why not mention Termini. The area is less expensive, connected to everywhere. At night it's not cool, but it's quite. Walking during the day is fun, with a lot to see. Plus u can never get lost. Everything ends in Termini. It's so good for budget travelers. When u want to go home ,Termini is right there. It's been a good experience. I stay in three star hotels there, very clean and they serve breakfast. Lots of weird looking none Italians. Its more edgy , so it tells u that u r really away from home.The area gives u a real slap of reality in Italy. There r people that want that feeling. For what it's worth, from Sacramento.
If Sean says it, it's got to be true. lol We did 4 tours with The Roman guy in Sept. 2018 (2 in Rome; 2 in Florence). The guides that work for TRG are incredible. They are professional (and a lot of fun) and have knowledge about any particular venue you are touring that is on a Ph.D. level... and that's not overstating it. I wouldn't consider another tour company. We watched most of your videos on Rome and Florence and were better off for it. Thanks, Sean.:)
We stayed at hotel Ponte Sisto. It is good for wheelchairs. They have a buffet breakfast. It is a nice place. There is a gelato shop and a bar close by. Bar meaning coffee and snacks.The Jewish ghetto is in walking distance.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I wasnt sure where to stay as I am planning a 5 day trip with my mom who tires easy due to age, this makes it less stressful to figure out!
Thanks for sharing! This is great information to decide which neighborhood to stay when visiting Rome. We are planning a trip to Rome this year and could not be more excited! 😀
I would like to sketch/draw the building with the arched opening shown at (0:19) . On what street is that? Also where is the pedestrian tunnel with the many steps shown at (5:42) ? You made a fine video! Thanks.
Very informative....love hearing about Monte and Trastevere....but taking a good look at Testaccio!!!...Will be traveling with my wife and I...our second trip to Rome....the food is what we love the most!!!....thanks again!!
Great and informative video! I'm an Italian that has been living in London for the past 24 years. I've been to Rome a few times in the past, and I would really love to go back for an overdue visit. I adore Rome, and I found it very romantic too. Watching this video, made me want to come back for a visit even more. Which affordable area, would you recommend, for a mature solo female traveler? Grazie tante, per il bellissimo video, della mia amata Roma.
Great informative videos! I have watched them all and will watch multiple times while planning my 40th birthday bucket list vacation for next March. Can we request Sean for our tour guide? These videos are amazing!
Can you send me a link in uk GBP prices please.for the Colleseum. Hoping to come in late March 2020. Ive been 3 times to Rome but never been inside..as want to wait till I bring my grandson...also are children same price as adult..oldest is 13yrs old? Thank you
I can’t wait to visit Rome this April. It will be the second since I was 10 years old on my family trip in 1998 before euro 💶 come. I don’t mean to judge but Sean, you come from Philadelphia? I notice your accent since I live in Cherry Hill, NJ.
@@seanpfinelli2820 - Hey, Sean. I'm based in Philly, as well...been living in Istanbul for the past 4 months, and coming to Rome for an extended visit on the 1st of October. I'm a Pianist/Composer coming to check-out the Music situation there. Staying in Trastevere. Hope to run in to you!
We are planning for our first Italy trip & we are starting from Rome....we are a couple....please suggest a low budget Hotel to stay in Rome & have easy access to the attractions and airport...
Is having a rental car feasible in Italy? My husband and I love the freedom of having a car when we travel, but more and more it seems like it’s easier to just do the trains...what do you recommend?
I would agree wth everything TRG’s has said here (and another TRG video How to See Rome in a Day) but would go even further! If you have no health issues and are there for a couple days or more avoid all modes of transportation other that your feet. To travel otherwise means you miss the gems along the way, and all attractions (in the city) are within walking distance of a centrally located accommodation. Last time we were there we (myself, wife and two daughters aged 7 and 11) saw everything most definitely on almost anyone’s wish list. Busses and trains add unnecessary complication and franticness to you vacation. Slow down and enjoy yourself! If you do want to explore the Appian way or visit Ostia Antica, you can easily rent a bike or scooter reasonably cheap, and for the latter a quick train can be caught near the Pyramid in Testaccio. Enjoy Rome!
I’m from Rome and I advice you not to rent a car, because parking could be difficult and expensive, and because there a lot of traffic in the city, especially near the center
I’ve been studying Italiano and a trip to Italy is a birthday gift for myself as recently single.I loved your Firenze video. Any recommended neighborhood in Rome for a woman traveling alone? Thanks.
Is it too much of a hassle to get to the main sites while staying in a Airbnb near Vatican City with public transportation. Planning to be there for about 5 days due to cost instead of being in the center of everything.
Good video! Thanks to the author of the channel for this fascinating video! It is interesting to see how people live in other countries! It is very important to know foreign languages on such trips. I would like to recommend to all travelers a practical guide to learning foreign languages by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages". This book contains a lot of useful tips on how to learn a foreign language for tourists, students, entrepreneurs and anyone who needs a foreign language in life. There are a lot of good tips on how to solve problems with the language from beginner to advanced level of language learning. It turns out that the traveler only needs to know a few dialogues and you can easily travel around the world! You don't have to spend a lot of time to fully learn a foreign language, you just need to learn what you can use when you travel. I wish everyone exciting travels!
great point - We have a dedicated web page updated annually. Not sure what to say about Covid. If you are taking the trip you should be vaccinated or prepared to take the risks associated with travel during a pandemic. Our articles don't touch too much on covid, but consider that hotels are scrambling to keep their properties as safe as possible to make guests comfortable - that or they are shuttering until its over. theromanguy.com/italy-travel-blog/rome-hotels/
That's depends on what you want to see! It's amazing to spend several days in the city to explore everywhere, but if you're short on time, we have a great Rome in a Day itinerary that you can find here: theromanguy.com/italy-travel-blog/how-to-see-rome-in-a-day/
Question - that has nothing to do with where to stay, but - is there such a thing as a gelateria in Rome or Florence, that makes their gelato without sugar?
If you are looking for a more lively stay, Trastevere has many bars, cafes, and shops. If you are looking for a quieter stay, check out Prati or Monti for a more laid back, historic experience.
@@TheTourGuyVids Ok thanks for that I think Monti might be good for me as I like historic . Suppose lots of restaurants and cafes there. Any places near Rome to visit.
@@TheTourGuyVids can u recommend a cheaper place to stay that is close to everything? Are most of them can they understand English or I need to learn Italian language?
Wearing shorts in Rome is a sure sign you are a foreigner. While not as formal as in the past, walking around Rome is not the same as being at the beach. This applies to entrance into some churches including the Vatican .
@@TheTourGuyVids the last time I was there the amount of graffiti and homeless people seemed to be where they hadn’t been before. However Trastevere is still pretty cool.
@@TheTourGuyVids sure, I was just expressing my experience and observations from years ago to recently. I Still love Rome/ Italy and will definitely be having a few meals in Trastevere in the two weeks I’ll be in country in November. You have some great videos and I enjoy you sharing your travels.
Stay in Trastevere. An authentic Roma feel surrounded by many of the locals... and its a great walk up into the hills for great views.
My home town. I was born and raised in the beautiful city.
Julie Warrington Lucky you!!

Thank you for this valuable information.I'm visiting Rome for the first time for 5 nights.
We hope you will join us on one of our tours
@@TheTourGuyVids Can we book when we get there or in advance? Do you have a website? Do you do Rome city tours on bus or walking tours.
Oh my gosh! Here I am watching your videos again as I plan another trip to Rome!
Can’t wait to have you back!’
We stayed at hotel Ponte Sisto. It is good for wheelchairs. They have a buffet breakfast. It is a nice place. There is a gelato shop and a bar close by. Bar meaning coffee and snacks.The Jewish ghetto is in walking distance.

Where did you end up staying at? How was it? I’m in a similar situation looking for a place to stay for 5 nights on a trip with my mom as well lol
Trastevere should be you number 1 option ❤
Why is that?
Thanks for sharing! This is great information to decide which neighborhood to stay when visiting Rome. We are planning a trip to Rome this year and could not be more excited! 😀
Happy Travels
Hey, don't forget about Termini. Close to it all and less expensive.
If you’re looking for inexpensive, it’s definitely an option but we normally don’t recommend it.
Love love love that pink shirt!
These videos are really good! They helped me when I visited this GORGEOUS city..!! Baci dalla Grecia, Sean! 😊❤
Very good infoormation
Thank you for the great videos. Will be in Rome in April and will definitely be taking tours with you.

Pinky shirts.... 😘😜😍🙏🤗 What's that brand? There was a hesitation between the Italian and German beer festivals, so embarrassed。
We stayed near Pantheon last visit and will be in Monti next trip in a few months. Great video thank you

how about staying near the central station in Rome?
Ramjitti Indaraprasirt it’s beautiful, the main attraction is Piazza della Repubblica
It's ok but not my first choice. I've done it and it really depends on the hotel
thank you so much for posting this video!

Hey watching one of your videos on where to stay in Rome you talk about renting E bikes how do I go about doing that planning to visit in May
Use the Uber app to rent Lime bikes. They are all over the city. I just rode today from the Vatican to Monti and it cost 4€
Which neighborhood would you recommend for a female solo traveler? I am no stranger to crowds and nightlife (from New Orleans)

Not my fav area tbh
I see no links :-(

How much money will I need to stay a week in Rome?
Depends on what you do, where you eat, how much you drink, etc…lots of variables there for such a broad question

Very useful video. What is your opinion about San Lorenzo area? I would be visiting Rome in April 24. Your response is very much appreciated.
Not our favorite and far from all the important sites
