I love this format. We get a lovely David Attenborough style history lesson along with our European tour. More of this, please. A food guide of all the places you visit would also be nice.

Hello from Australia 🇦🇺 it’s 5.30am but I wouldn’t have missed this for all the salt in Venice.!! Loving all the information and history. Thank you Stephanie & Ollie from the bottom of my heart. 🙏🏻❤️🇦🇺

I hope you guys pitch this "show" to British tv - it`s captivating listening to your narrating/interacting and sharing your excited knowledge of small little details of Venice and the grand history - even your relative primitive filming/editing is spot on - BRAVO

This is the best channel ever! What a beautiful concept of two best friends traveling about the world and absolutely filling our brains with all of this history. I love it I love it I love it!

Thanks for teaching us something new!

Mesmerised! Thankyou both❤

I love this Channel. Oliver and Stephanie have a wonderful way of communicating, both with each other and with the viewer. They share a knowledgeable yet casual style that is compelling and captivating. This vlog fed my closet information junkie side and I was thrilled with all the stories. Thank you for the fun and facts.

Wow, will be taking our 15 year grandchild to Venice soon, good history lesson. I first visited in 1971 for school study and didn't know interesting facts, I adore Venice and had returned many times. Thank you.

Can’t tell you how much I love this series. The two friends together are just wonderful and really warm my nerdy heart. Thanks so much Stephanie and Ollie for bringing us these fabulous trips.

Wonderful, Wonderful, vlog enjoyed every minute felt l was there with you both, you explain things so well ,look forward to many more please.

Ciao Stephanie and Ollie, I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Venice is truly a magical place, so rich in history. I could listen to you two for hours, I am so grateful for this channel, not only do you give us a beautiful unscripted history lesson, but we also learn of off the beaten path history, a regular tour guide would not provide. So again, I am so happy that you both decided to do this channel. Thanks so, so much.

Stephanie, have you considered putting an island in the lake at La Lande? Maybe just one huge tree on it to picnic under. Perhaps a weeping willow? Or, maybe one that has beautiful flowers?

You can talk about Venice all day I’ll be there ❤

I can't believe this video doesn't have more views! It is so good!!

The gondola ride at night was so beautiful

This is fast becoming my favorite travel channel. Keep up the great work guys.

Stephanie I'm loving yours & Ollie's new channel! I have followed you for 2 or 3 years on your Chateau diaries channel. Would ❤❤❤ to see you tour the beautiful churches, either separately as a subject matter or in your episodes on this channel, please?🙏

So lovely and interesting.. thank you for your knowledge and joie de vivre. Hi from San Diego☀️

I spent several days there and studied before and after, but you had some facts I didn't know! My very favorite place in the entire world. Magical.

Steph (or Philip) couldn’t read or like your post. I did.❤️✊🥂xx

Simply terrific! Thank you both so much.

I've learned so many interesting new things about Venice even though I've been several times, excellent work and format!

LOVE history!!! Thank you. It's been 50 years since I was there.

I truly love this segment of Venice and all of it’s history. Venice is my favorite city to visit in Europe.

Absolutely fascinating!

Thank you so much Ollie and Steph for another amazing and interesting video. You both have done great justice to Venice and to all the amazing sights. I can't wait until next week to see what you both have in store for us. X

Amazing video! I went on a walking tour in Venice this morning. The guide did her masters thesis on ancient Venetian graffiti. Basically, venetians used to scratch in images on the walls of the buildings. You can still see some today! And most of these were hypothesized to be drawn by the poorer working class who were most likely illiterate. From her research she concluded that there’s ~6,000 of these drawings on the buildings of the city. Next time you can look around! You might find some!!

Love this channel the history and beauty of it😊

Absolutely loved this informative work that you both have done for us. xx

Yes, this format was wonderful!!! My hubs & I kept saying, “you two know so much!”

Love it

Lol. As someone with an Accounting & Business degree, I have to agree with Ollie!!! Double entry is the best invention! We can always get around via sleds hahahaha.

What a fun video- you are both excellent teachers!!

when i see these videos i always thank god they made everyone have the same roof. i loved the canal in texas but noway had the charm of venice. It is beautyful and i am sure this is useful for a third of the world. Great job...

Well!!! That was a BLAST!! Ive been quoting some of your fun facts already Ollie & Steph. ..wow.. I really enjoyed this vlog & the relevance of soo many of those facts in today's world. Thanks🥰

I love Venice as well although never have been there and yet have a grandfather who came from Italy! Just love learning more about it and seeing all there is, and love listening to both of you and Stephanie and Ollie, you both do this vlog well together bouncing well off one another. I have a Brass larger flat ring with the bridge in which people have known to go under and often proposals of marriage, have taken place. I do wear it and always remember it came from Italy as well, and so can carry a bit of Venice with me in this way. There is another ring like it that came from Italy, made by artisans, and it has Jesus and the disciples in the "boat when he calmed the storms" Reminds me that all storms can be calmed in this way! Truly is a 'Romanic' place and visit it often it really is just fine with me, and sort of think many others do not mind either!? Ollie, I had an uncle named Oliver as well! Do not hear this name so often at least in the U.S. but when I her your name, it reminds me of him. Glad you both can enjoy all of this, while you are still working, and doing all of this for us! Thank you!

I love these informative vignettes of Venice or actually anywhere Stephanie and Ollie take us!👏❤️

Glorious! Loving this series so much. Thank you, thank you ❤

Nobody covers the Wild and insane history of Europe in quite the same way as Stephanie and Ollie.

Thank you guys, I was 18 when I got to go to Venice and even though I didn’t know any of its history it claimed a piece of my heart, my favourite place I’ve visited. Thank you for your wonderful channel 🐨👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Another wonderful video! I look forward to these amazing travel videos, thank you!

A GREAT ONE !!!!!!!!!

Loved this episode and wished I had seen it before visiting Venise a couple of Easter w/e's ago. Stephanie and Oliver this series is one if not possibly the best travelogues on Utube. Bravo. Swan

Thoroughly enjoyed your Venice visit - thank you for sharing from Australia.

Always educational, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I regret that I can't hire you as an actual tour guide.

Fantastic 👍

Can I recommend the detective novels of Donna Leone, set in modern Venice?

I have been twice to Venice, the last time in 2021. It is so nice to watch your travel experiences! Your video's are great and very well done!

Oh my god I'm just loving all these facts! What a way to learn history, much better than a school room, thanks heaps Lennie R

Well done Oliver and Stefanie. I love your channel. Thank you..👏👏👏👏

Love this brings back many happy memories of holidaying near venice with my parents, my dear Daddy bought me a very treasured piece of Morano glass for my bottom drawer as I’d just got engaged we had such a lovely😢 trip to Morano .

Brilliant as always thank you.

Enchanting entertainment, history told in this way makes it so interesting. The costumes and the buildings were beautuful. Thank you both for sharing this video. 💕🇦🇺

Yes Ollie there is a lift in St Mark's Campanile

Thanks guys for another wonderful history lesson. I really love this channel. Can't wait for the next one. Saluti x

Absolutely incredible facts, history and videography!! Excellent video Stephanie and Oliver!! Love from Mary in Southern California 💗

Great introduction and facts about the Venice. In March will be my first time there. Your Venice travel videos will help to scratch the itch beneath the surface. Thrilled! :)

The facts were very interesting and the scenery was enchanting. Sincerely, Ralph Rocchiccioli

Fabulous facts and a wonderful video. Loved every minute! Thank you xx

Love, love Venice!

Great video Steph & Ollie

Thankyou So Much Ollie & Stephane So So Interesting Video I So Love History And The architect Of The Building Church’s And of Cause Venice Beautiful costumes I Would Love To Go Back In Time Like A Time Machine And Come Back Thankyou For Sharing 💕

This was a beautiful video and history lesson! Thank you.

I would love you to come to my neck of the woods. I live near Yosemite and Sierra National Park where the oldest and biggest tree in the world is. ❤

So very interesting - I love Venice - 🥰

That was great. Now I have to watch it again.❤

I loved this video! I especially liked all the history of Venice, along with your costumes!

Love the tongue in cheek commentary. Keep it coming!

Thank you for this wonderful vlog on Venezia!! There were many facts you taught me, though after five visits to La Serenissima, I have a passing knowledge of its legends and history. The beauty and ambiance of your video jogged my memories, and the magic of the place transported me once again. This city at twilight and during the night is fantastical. I recall being in Piazza San Marco partying with Spanish Uni students one night during Easter Week in 1972. Managing to catch the last vaporetto to Cannaregio, I was startled when a power failure occurred. The only light came from the waterbus, which made the reflections off the water and the shadows on the buildings, something I can never forget. Power was restored several minutes later which ended that phantasmagorical display. Chuck in Northern New England

Hello from Spain. I miss more information about Fortuny, visiting the museum and of course the shop.

Oliver, for an in depth exploration of how the Venetians created their civilization, wealth, armies, deals and double crossings, may I recommend Powers and Thrones A New History of The Middle Ages? I used to live in Middle Temple, yet Dan Jones' book reveals so much riveting historical stories, that it is a page turner highlighting how our modern world was created over one thousand years ago. You may delight in this historical book and may be inspired to write one of your own! Cheering for you.

Oh, simply wonderful. Thanks from CANET.

another lovely video so much information i love this channel and you two make it so much fun to watch!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. THANK YOU.

This was captivating, ty.

To the best tour guides in the world.. Venice has always been my favorite place in the world. Truly a magical place! Loved this video! Thank you!❤

Love all the history shared in this vlog ❤❤❤❤❤

I have had to stop the video half way through a moment to just comment that this is so far a most EXCELLENT video. So many amazing points of history. Plus the views are beautiful. Thank you! Keep up the good work!

Loved the 20 facts about Venice, many of which were new to me and all brought to life with interesting detail. Fun story about the Bocca di Leone that made me think how far we’ve come in the process of anonymous comments from slipping a note into the lion’s mouth to today’s internet social media posting.

The top of that basilica with blue ground and gold stars and lion reminds me of Sumerian gates

thank you 🤩
