Wonderful ! Really well put together, to the point, no flannel, entertaining and informative. Good to hear a truly great British accent. I like what you did.
Thanks very much. Comments like yours are a pleasure to read. We always say it how it is without any fakery. If it's good enough for us, it gets filmed. If it's not...then consider it forgotten. Thanks very much for watching 🙂
Hey you two! It was very walking heavy but a nice city to visit overall and felt quite safe compared to Naples. We could eat that meat platter all over again for sure! Good to hear from you both x
Fantastic watch, brilliant views And places And of course the food looked yummy,loved this vlog well done both of you And can't wait to see the next journey And adventure 😊❤️ x
Wow! 4.50 pasta is a real find and it looks quite delicious as well. We've never tried a Suppli before. Another reason to go back and explore Rome again. Thanks for the tips guys!
Thanks Jason. As with anywhere it can be as cheap or expensive as you want, you've just got to look pretty hard. We didn't film one evening meal that was reasonably priced as the quality and service was appalling, so just showed the best of what we could grab in the most popular places. It's the drinks cost that will have you over a barrel!
Another fab vlog guys! Can really notice all the effort that's gone into editing etc, I've got a trip to Rome coming up next year and think I might book the Merulana star after watching your video!
Hey Lucy! It wasn't in a bad location overall. I think we would stay again if we went back even though it has what looks like the world's oldest lift! Haha. We're going to be trying a new editing software for 'Destination Unknown' so it may look a little better, but we're all about the rough and ready look showing that nothing is ever perfect, nor do we intend it to be. Much love Lucy! X
Another brilliant vlog guys! Don't think Rome is for me, too busy! Don't need to go though as you did a brilliant job of showing it to us! Happy and safe travels for November, looking forward to the adventure.
Great vlogs new sub here, really enjoying the content. I started taking my daughter on budget holidays as a single mum when she was about 12. We've been to France, Germany, Amsterdam, Belgium, (poland, loads of times) Budapest, Copenhagen, Sweden Lithuania. People can't believe you can do things for so little . When we went to Lithuania I paid £110 for 4 nights in a tiny apartment and that included our return flights . We've stayed in tiny private rooms in hostels. Anybody can travel you just have to prioritise things. :)
Hey Liscatcat! Thanks very much for joining us. You've joined at a great time as we are currently travelling for 6 months on a budget (or trying our best to). We're in Australia at the moment having started in Singapore at the end of November (the new vlogs will be starting soon). Anything is possible if you know when to travel and are happy to spend time hunting online for the best rates (along with taking a hit on accommodation sometimes). We save money abroad by eating and drinking cheap to find the next journey whereas some don't care how much they spend because it's their holiday, which we understand also. Thanks so much for spending time watching us and we hope you'll tune into the upcoming series of travels called 'Destination Unknown'. John & Becky x
Hi 🙌 how are you both? I loved the tour of Rome, I am with Hilary though, not a fan of the business of a main city but no need to as you have done a great job at touring it for us 😂😂 It seemed pretty reasonable price wise for a city, the food looked really GOOD 👍🏽 The historical places are amazing and really interesting, love it 🥰 we are back from Parga now…..😢 We have been to a lot of Greek islands but this harbour town on the mainland is the most beautiful stunning place we have been to…we haven’t taken so many photos before 😅😅😅😅 looking forward to the next trip, love to you both ❤
Glad to hear you had a great time Kezza and it seems one we should add to our list. Rome was interesting but gave us some nasty blisters from all the walking. We wouldn't rush back but it was nice to be there and have a proper tour of what it holds. Our evening meals were of terrible quality so we decided not to film them and just stick to the street food. You'll next see us in Singapore at the end of November or potentially early December depending on the jetlag. Much love back at you lady x
Hey Ellie. We went to one near where we were staying but it was that poor quality we decided not to add it into the vlog. It was difficult to find something mid range but stay away from the ones by the tourist attractions. One restaurant by the Pantheon was charging €29 for a simple spaghetti pomodoro. The pasta place is a fantastic shout for a late lunch though and after a certain time you get a glass of wine included. Bargain!
The hotel was just 'ok'. Location wise it was good. Would we stay there again? Possibly not but if there was not better option or location then we would.
@@ParksTravelGuide that’s good to know long as I can sleep and it’s relatively clean thats all i care about as will be out most of the time, exactly why I chose it location wise will be there on Monday 😀
@@padz94 that's exactly what you'll get. Clean and reasonably comfortable but dated... you'll know when you see their lift. It's an antique! Have a great trip
If you're expecting a slap up candle lit main course in a restaurant for €4.50 that's 50 metres from the Spanish steps then you're best off rethinking. The vlog is done for those on a budget to which this is fantastic value and quite filling in an expensive city. Thanks for watching!

Great post ❤️❤️❤️
Italy, pasta, and not breaking the bank… what more do you want!! Great video guys
Thanks love! We can always generally sniff our a bargain in the most unlikely of places!
Wow...
Rome looks amazing, like going back in a time machine...thanks guys for the views x
Hey Graham. It certainly is an interesting place where you can really feel the history everywhere! Thanks for watching 🙂
Brilliant looks amazing food looked great especially the meat platter.
Hey you two! It was very walking heavy but a nice city to visit overall and felt quite safe compared to Naples. We could eat that meat platter all over again for sure! Good to hear from you both x
Nice to know about the 48 hour pass. Last time I went to Rome, I walked almost everywhere.
Hey Mary Beth. We used it for the subway a lot and also got a couple of buses. The rest of it was walking..and the blisters to prove it!
Thank you for this insightful and informative video.
Thanks for watching, David. We really appreciate it 🙂
Fantastic watch, brilliant views And places And of course the food looked yummy,loved this vlog well done both of you And can't wait to see the next journey And adventure 😊❤️ x
Thanks Joanne and we're glad you enjoyed it. It certainly is an interesting place with history at every turn x

No worries! The pasta place is right by the Spanish Steps as well so it's not exactly hidden. We were very surprised! Thanks for commenting :)
Bought back memories lovely place but was very expensive when I went another great video guys stay safe

We went to Rome last year but spent all of the time in the Vatican basically! Would love to visit soon again. Great video! 👍🏼
Hey Haslin. We were certainly kept busy for the 2 days that we were there! Thanks for commenting, hope you are keeping well 👍🏽

Thanks Hilary. We did our best with it and the limited time we had. Thanks for your support as always x
Your content is very informative and the production is great. Please show more budget street food eat ideas for European travel.
Thanks very much. We've done quite a few in Europe if you look on our playlist on our channel 🙂

Have you two won the lottery ❤️❤️👍👍
Nah Gianni. Just managed to do it cheaply!
My father hated Rome for some reason. Enjoying the posts guys. It would be nice to hear from you some times Mr Parks. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Did you eat out at any cheap ish restaurants? Xx

What was your honest opinion on the hotel as will be staying there myself thanks
The hotel was just 'ok'. Location wise it was good. Would we stay there again? Possibly not but if there was not better option or location then we would.

@@ParksTravelGuide haha look forward to it appreciate the info
$6 for a beer is a bargain!
If you're American then yes it is but it's expensive to most Europeans 😆
Did you just order pasta for someplace that served it in a Styrofoam bowl with a wooden fork?

You basically took of tour of the equivalent of McDonald's in Rome.
Well a big McThanks for watching!
Thats the Irish flag in your title ...
We're surprised it's taken someone over a year to notice. Thanks Katia!
The custom is to throw the money with your back turned towards the fountain, in order to wish to return to Rome
Hey Bruno. John actually did this and hit an unsuspecting Korean lady on the head as his aim is terrible. I can't take him anywhere!
