Tourist Trap: Villa Borghese overpriced and surley cart sellers

    • I don't like to badmouth hard-working people who need to make a living - however, I am prompted to make note of the many overpriced cart concessionairs in Villa Borghese - without exception (and please correct me if you have found any kindness), I consistently see them surley and always charging higher than necessary prices. Hold hope it will change.

    9/10/06 - I just received a comment from a VT Rome tourist who attempted to buy a soda - asked the price and was told 6 € for a small coke - then, got a nasty attitude when he put it back and did not complete the purchase.

    Alternative: Buy those snacks you like before entering the park.

     Dear Carola Thanks to your tips we enjoyed our Rome trip. We used trains, tram, metro and bus with a weekly pass. It was convenient and saved a lot, also your tips on restaurants and café's. Miri & Yehuda Keren (Israel)    		Nemorino Fri Jun 19, 2009 22:25 UTC
     Thanks for steering me to your fine new tip on the Eurostar AV Fast trains. While I was at it I also had a look at some of the other updates and new tips that you have added since my last visit to this page on July 19, 2008, like the carfree Sundays.

     Very impressive page on your home city with excellent updates and lots of lovely photographs! The super fast Eurostar train certainly looks amazing. Bring back fond memories of our trip to the city of Rome several years ago. ~ho & pang
