As an Italian who travelled around Europe quite a bit, I am proud to say that Trenitalia is way better than other European operators. One thing that wasn’t pointed out is that you can access the train’s wifi and get their movies/series and even newspapers for free

for the French TGV it was not the duplex TGV inoui (with 1 floor) but an older TGV network, too bad because the first class in the duplex TGVs are super comfortable

I used the trenitalia service back in june from Milan to Paris. I did travel standard class rather than executive but for €35 it was a bargain and I would do it again. Especially when you factor in that on a plane you would have to pay for baggage + travel to and from the airport. I then got a Eurostar into London the following day after a nice morning in Paris. Also it was worth it just for scenery through the alps. Its nice there is competition on the route as it means you can find cheap prices. Hopefully there will more like this across Europe in the future.

I recently travelled on this line on the TGV. As part of the same holiday, I also travelled on the Frecciarossia trains in business class within Italy and in my opinion, the Frecciarossia trains and SO MUCH nicer than the French TGVs.

Took the Frecciarossa from Florence to Paris first class. Loved that my chair could be turned around to face the direction we were heading instead of being stuck in one position the entire ride. Helps with bad motion sickness. Great video.

Really amazing how Trenitalia nailed it. Feels like they came out of nowhere a decade ago w/ superior trains and service.

I love these races! So much fun for arm chair travelers like me! I think it’s like the Italian train best, its attention to luxury is higher. The service also seems more attentive, food at your seat! The food looks wonderful. I’ll go Italian if I ever go!!

nicky and liam are such a fun duo to watch

Trenitalia definitely has a better first class product. inOui's first class felt more business class esque with the lack of food service to your seat and it was just far too dirty. I mean, if I paid for a first class fare and sat down at my seat to unclean tables, charging points and storage areas I would be annoyed.

Frecciarossa uses the high speed line between Milan and Turin while the Tgv doesn't. This allows the Tgv to serve Novara, but makes it travel much slower during the first part of the journey.

The extra £50 sounds like it's money well spent!

The fact that there’s a Conference Room on TrenItalia Executive Class >>>>>

You had the oldest TGV still in service 😅😬

I saw a video on KZfaq earlier this year and it was about the Italian high-speed trains that run between Milan and Rome via places like Florence and they really are something else. A real credit to Trenitalia - a name that shouldn't really seem to alien to us in the UK. As I believe that Trenitalia are behind Avanti (operator who succeeded Virgin Trains on the British West Coast mainline between London and Glasgow).

I remember the First Class Experience on the North Caledonian Sleeper and now we have this where BOTH of you are in First Class. Such fun!

Liam, I love your hair in the beginning which is giving Y2K Boy Band/Kit Connor Vibes.

I want to go to Italy next year and travel a lot on Frecciarossa, their services look great! SNCF was OK back when I was a student in France, but not necessarily the most affordable or value-for-money.

I never knew there was a train with 1 plus 1 configuration, impressed seeing inside the Frecciarossa, epic video.

Italian high-speed trains are amazing - I travelled with Italo (Milan to Florence, Florence to Venice) and the speed + the service were top-notch. Free WiFi included, the "In-Train Entertainment" portal offered free access to movies, TV series, playlists, newspapers, magazines and even to language courses. Just amazing.

Always excited to see these, but especially when not feeling good this morning. Thanks lads!

Milan central station is amazing!! like a museum

I am travelling from Venice to Milan soon and will definitely book the executive class of Trenitalia now that I have seen this vid! Thank you guys!

Fun video, thanks guys, informative for my trip!

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video

Wow, i love this trip report. Thumbs up and subscribed!👍🇮🇹🇫🇷

These guys deserve way more subscribers, keep up the good videos!!

So much fun. I want to try Frecciarossa service soon. I’ve only really been on TGV InOui and TGV Lyria service which pretty comfortable but standard. Frecciarossa seems a notch above

I live near Chambéry which is a station for both SNCF and Trenitalia and I'm always fascinated by both

1:05 Knowing your blooper reels at the beginning, DEFINITELY the Sassy Rooftop.

Great video I love these race

I have taken the TGV between Turin and Paris several times - usually in First Class if I can book early enough - and will be doing so again next month. I wanted to try the Frecciarossa service this time but it would have meant an earlier departure and later arrival so I stuck with the TGV. I do however have a ticket in Prima Classe with Italo from Rome to Turin. Thanks for the video.

Loved the video, As an InOui user, I just have to say that : -There is free WiFi on-board (not the stronger one but it's there... 😅) -you can now order your food from your seat just by connecting to the WiFi and it can be brought to you directly. Of course you still have to pay for the food unlike in trenitalia but still a good service, mostly when you have lots of bags you don't want to carry with you to the bar. 😊

Entertaining video as always. Hi Nicky...Hi Liam!! 👋

Omg I live for the Intro Blooper Sequence. Nicky was just not having it 😂

Love these videos thanks

I'd love to see you guys explore the trains in Japan. They have some really unique ones there. There's one that has a hot springs footbath in one of the cars.

I've taken the Frecce1000 several times and I am so amazed at the service and speed of the trains. Living in the States, I'm actually jealous of you guys. An Amtrak train from Detroit to Chicago recently took 17 hours due to malfunctions.

I love the new episode showing train battle😍😍,maybe it's a better path for the future

These races are so much fun, while at the same time really interesting! Can’t wait for you guys to try the new night trains ÖBB is releasing soon!

Travelled executive class from Milan to Bologna, took about an hour. I was amazed! Food I had was dog xxxx, way worse than in UK on LNER but I could have been unlucky looking at the choices you had. Seat was amazing, the carriage I was in also had the glass meeting room with a 6 seat table and a screen on the wall you could plug in to present. Blew my mind! Business travel of the highest order. Wish they travelled all the way through to London.

For comparison, a one-way 1st class rail fare from where I live to London Paddington, which is around 120 miles away, costs from just over £60.00. And the only complimentary food are basic snacks like a bag of crisps and a small pack of biscuits 🤔😂.

Nicky, Liam. I know this is a bit late but what an awesome video lads! Absolute epic! I love travelling by train so to see this is superb. If I may I would like to make a suggestion for a future video! My suggestion is a video reviewing all of Air Canada’s classes, I think it would be a really interesting airline to try out and they have a great looking lounge in Heathrow Terminal 2.

Thanks, Nicky and Liam! I love this journey - trains are so much fun. I've taken both the SNCF and Trenitalia and I think Liam said it best - for the extras, Nicky's journey came out ahead but for a comfortable ride and comfortable price, the SNCF isn't a bad option. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous in either case and Milan Central station has some of the most stunning architecture around!

Nice work guys. I regularly drive from Paris to North Italy and back. I usually go via Grenoble or Trento if I have to go to Stuttgart first. I have been thinking about this train for a while. So I enjoyed the information.

Wow i've never been this early! Can't wait!

GREAT VIDEO

I am loving the videos. You have such great energy!

Love the look on Nicky’s face @0:10

More of these races please

bellissimo😍

Good one !

I was just here! Haha it was funny that right after i got into my hotel room i saw this in my recommended!

Well edited video.

I love this Train Content

mate....nice Cartier tank right there you got, bloody class!

A meeting room in the train ! Waw !

With your first class tickets you also had Free Access to "Salon Grand Voyageur" in Gare de Lyon, it's a pretty nice lounge.

I always book Frecciarossa Executive Class when traveling between Milano and Florence/Venice/Roma. It’s a superb experience IMHO. 😉👍🏻. Oh and phuleeeze Nicki,new all know you’d choose … SASSY being the bad boy you are. 😉🤣🤣🤣

Recently had Frecciarossa Experience from Rome to Naples. Well done Italy! Was really impressed.

Hey Nicky? If Liam slapped you upside the head after hearing about your trip... he was just doing for all of us. #Jealous. I will say that I would take a croque monsieur over fresh made pasta anytime. Great filming, editing, music, and commentary as always. Thank you team #ThePointsGuyUK

It would have been a fair review when comparing the TGV inOui with the Frecciarossa Business class instead of Executive

Fab video guys!! Love it! Just out of interest, was lounge access included in either of your tickets? I've heard that Trenitalia have a lounge for their First class passengers at Milano Centrale

Nicky forgot to mention on the Frecciarossa Executive seat there is a lever that you can swing the seat around to the direction where you want to face. If you are seated backwards and say the train is going forward you can switch the direction by pulling the lever ...so no issues for those people that get motion sickness if facing the wrong way

won’t be visiting italy ANY time soon lmao. but i still love these comparison vids

This journey will be interesting when the new Lyon-Turin line will be open.

Nicky is Classy. #bestduoever #bestandfunraces.

fabulous vlog, hey nick that backpack what's the brand or model, looks spacious, just what I need,, thanks

My two favorite guys, 👍

So tough, both accents are great.

Took Frecciarossa from Napoli to Roma RT, incredible service.

The operator liam went with is actually SNCF the service name is TGV INOUI

finally more trains stuff

Would definitely go for Nicky's choice this time. But never would I turn down a ride with Liam. Decisions, decisions! LOL.

As a french, I would choose Trenitalia just to be amazed of a new train operator and feel "on holidays" since the travel begin ^^

could we request to have another channel for exploring the city that you guys visit?

Because I am suscribed to the best Chanel about travelling 😏

Never been this early. wow!

The food service is nearly comparable to what is served in a first class plane ✈️ trip 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤜

Vive la concurrence ! :D

Heathrow Express had 1 + 1 seating on the, now withdrawn, 332s in Business First

12:04 good spot of the Bourg en bresse - Lyon part dieu train

Milano Centrale Station is one of Italy's prettiest station until you live in Milan and know that Centrale is one of the dangerous areas of the city also during the day. But it's true, the architectural style is unbelievable

The food selection in Frecciarossa is a winner

I looked online for direct trains from Milan to Paris and couldn’t find any. Can you suggest where to purchase? How far in advance to purchase as well. Grazie ragazzi

Well done guys looked really impressive beats the old British rail sandwich ? Paul

Things you wish you could try just once so interesting

There's also an overnight train from Milano Centrale to Amsterdam although having a Cabin is a must

After “You go, Glen Coco!”, we have “Oh, hello, Bussoleno!”

10:24 he was in lyon pard-dieu station and at 10:25 he was at modane (=faux raccord)

Liam, you should do some hotel reviews! ☺️

I look forward to taking trains 🚊 there in Western Europe next month.

hi guys, which camera do you use?

I liked the video, but perhaps not very fair to compare Trenitalia's Executive Class with SNCF's first class. Bit like comparing business and first class on different airlines.

Italia❤️🇮🇹

Does the train change direction during the journey?

i love brits trying their hardest at pronouncing italian words

Good morning lads remember to stay safe with you

The particular TGV trainset shown is a really old single-decker. The newer EuroDuplex train's upper deck 1st class is much better and the newer trains have wifi as standard. Having said that, this journey remains super long until the HSL from Lyon to Trurin opens in about 2030 which will reduce Paris-Milan by up to 2 hrs

I remember going for a 5:30 am train and then I missed it lol

It's quite understandable that the Italian service was better because you booked a premium class ticket - the other one was just "normal" first class. If you booked the business class on Frecciarossa, the comparison would have been more... exact
