The Via Appia Antica | A Virtual Tour

[@gaton023]

Thank you for taking us with you to this magnificent place and all the history around it. I found your channel just today, but I’ll take a look at your content so that I can have a better idea of the places to visit next time I visit Rome. Thank you again. from Colombia. Astonishing places to learn about there ❤😊

[@SojournItaly]

Thank you for this incredible video!

[@nagoldfulness]

I was delighted to find this video. I especially appreciated all the historical notes you included; I can see that you're a very well-informed and engaging tour guide. I especially liked the way you started off the tour from the area of the Forum, with all the context that provides. And those bikes are really perfect; I am thinking especially of those chunky and well-treaded tires. I visited parts of the Appia Antica years ago, and I'm eager to visit again when I'm able to travel to Rome. Thanks for a really well-done video.

What a lovely comment - thank you so much Naomi!

[@pammorton7448]

What a lovely trip along one of the most fascinating places in the world! I was there last February and was absolutely transported. Thank you for your historical context, it was very very interesting!

[@kyleashley]

Wow great Tour and info! would love to travel there for a History Holiday one day....until then this is the next best thing , thanks^_^

[@mdson66]

I watch it still... several times, thank you so much. Hope you are still doing these. Buy a microphone though to attach to your shirt. ;-)

[@carvingtuyetnga7461]

[@mikerichards5610]

Excellent information! Loved the tour!

[@catherinechiara8944]

Fantastic!!! Fantastic!!! I was literally glued to your video. You are a brilliant educator!!! Mille Grazie Alessandro!!!

[@baphomet66and6]

Great video with regards the history & sights/sites along the Appia Antica. Great to leave the sections with the traffic noise behind.

[@watermunteconomie3938]

Very much enjoyed this video!! Thank you very much for making it, so cool.

[@paulcapaccio9905]

Very good video ! We’ve been to Roma 30 times and I’m obsessed with ancient Roman history. Want to live there now. We’ve also done with picnics at the ancient aquaducts

[@cookingwithconniemorewohlf4538]

This was very interesting. Thank you.

[@javimu111]

This was awesome. I had a great time taking this virtual Tour. Thank you!

[@mancello]

Well done. I did a bike tour of the Appian Way three years ago. I wish you were my tour guide. If I get back to Rome I'll look you up for a tour.

[@WalksInsideRome]

Thank you so much Nick - what a lovely comment! Next time you're in Rome just give us a call and Alexander can take you around :-)

[@damiaanspatrick2050]

Love the video, but you need to something about the noise ( cars, etc..) Maybe a microphone is a good idea.

[@phe9238]

So well done! Thank you

[@janoginski5557]

That was fascinating. Great.

[@ranavittoria2031]

Just discovered you channel -- great guides ... videos a pleasure to watch.

[@dridemoto]

Wonderful video !

[@WalksInsideRome]

Thank you Danny!

[@theroaminginday7654]

Thanks... through this video, I was interested to visit the Appian Way...

[@theroaminginday7654]

I finally visited the Appian way...

[@khangvutien2538]

The camera shakes a little bit, there’s a lot of background noise, but the choice of the points of view and the quality of the explanations make this video very helpful to plan such a tour. Where can we rent such bicycles?

[@plurplursen7172]

E-bike along the Appia... I need to try that once with a guide.

[@TheHornoxx]

...hervorragend 👍👍 Thanks a lot!

[@1ndle]

The Via Appia could almost be a premise for a Dark RPG. An ancient road from a fallen civilization filled with mysterious catacombs and mausoleums.

[@prigual2901]

It is not a fallen civilisation. Languages, law , roads, still goes on. Regards

[@macrone3443]

Rome shaped Western civilization.

[@deanedge5988]

Im putting together for friends at their request a once in a lifetime trip through "classical antiquity" starting in Venice (well Aquilea) then down the Adriatic and on to Magna Graecia the Aeloian's, Istanbul then to they Cyladic Islands ending at Athens. An option is a stop on the Adriatic stretch to take in just a bit of Italia - Roma, Tivoli, Ostia Antica. I cannot imagine a more perfect guide.Historically fluent, practical, modestly charming and serious with a smile.

[@WalksInsideRome]

What a lovely comment, Dean. Thank you so much!! Your itinerary sounds great, and we'd definitely recommend a detour along the Adriatic and inland to Rome/Lazio. Hadrian's Villa at Tivoli is a must, as is Ostia (although, if you have time, Herculaneum/Pompeii are more worthwhile). Hit us up if you want any assistance our end!

[@josephhaack5711]

Well done sir,

[@nahiwapt]

Crazy noisy! I want very much to watch, but can’t deal with the noise. You are very knowledgeable.

[@suzettekitselman6914]

I will be there in 3 days and take this ride with you! Ci vediamo

[@davidmiller9852]

Molto bene, bravissimo, I really enjoyed the video

[@thecavernman420cmd]

Amazing

[@miltonthomaslowe]

Could you do a video on start of via appia_ at the circus maximus_?

[@johnny_pilot]

Very interesting!

[@fcobarrios19]

Great video. If you rent a bike, is it safe to leave it outside a catacomb while you go inside?

[@rudolfx1070]

I have heard of the Italian expression the 'four o'clock' shadow. Is it anything to do with the Appian Way describing 4.30? :)

[@raniixx1]

Hi! Wonderfull video, I am sure to take this along when exploring Via Appia 😍 quick question: I am planning to do this route per vespa on our own initiative instead of a guided tour. Since there are guided tours on vespas along this road I assume its permitted to drive it, however I cant find any official information if its allowed or not (apart of pedestrial Sundays). Can we drive on a vespa along this route ?! Thank you in advance for your possible response 😊❤

[@girovaghipercaso8679]

Wonderful Rome ❤️

[@vivians9392]

What type of damage did the stones of the Appian Way do to the wheels of the traveling vehicles? Were the wheels mostly wood?

[@RoadForksOffbeat]

Cool video with a lot of history in it. I have filmed there in July at 40-45C, and I'm planning posting the video in about two weeks. I walked a lot there and indeed was a challenge for me :) I was almost about to die, honestly..

[@atilamatamoros7499]

Suggestion: Record in mute mode, the vehicles noise is unbearable. Use voice over with, without subtitles. Otherwise, Congratulations

[@josephinedrew7936]

We are coming in 5 weeks time which will be Mid December - is it still possible to hire the bikes at that time of year?

[@gio9823]

Hy:) In 71 BC, 6,000 slaves were crucified along the 200-kilometer (120 mi) Via Appia from Rome to Capua. There is any mark left of it? Thanks for the answer :)

[@Laurelin70]

No. The sooner Rome erased the memory of that unfortunate revolt, the better.

[@johnhaxby306]

Buddy, there is a great barber in Rome called MACHETE, they specialize in beards. I say this in total support, clean up your facial hair for the camera. And get a microphone, the cars are drowning you out. Up your game and take care!

[@bill9989]

This probably a dumb question but are these bikes electric assist? And they available for clients of your tours?

[@WalksInsideRome]

Not a dumb question at all! Yes, they are. We used to run tours with standard bikes but certain stretches of the road can be a bit demanding - especially in summer - so we now use these e-bikes. We can provide them for any tour too - not just the Via Appia :-)

[@JC-oz6xn]

You guys are amazing for your presentations....but you must spend a few moments and use an insulated mike on speaker for greater intelligibility.

[@paularowe7651]

The traffic noise spoils it.

How do you know the letter "C" was hard in Latin? There's obviously no audio recordings to prove that. I think, for example, Cesar was pronounced like in the latin languages today AKA Italian, Romanian, Spanish, we inhereted the pronociation from Latin, I don't see why that would have changed. And, again, there's no proof of pronunciation in old Latin.

[@patriciaeddy7629]

A persin could get killed in that traffic.😟

[@jonescrusher1]

Pro tip, wait for the helicopter to pass overhead before recording.

[@johnarnepedersen2973]

I am sorry. Far to noisy for me! Please use something to filter the sound.

[@roberthenry9319]

You forgot to mention the long rows of crucified slaves, petty thieves and political dissenters which lined both sides of the Appia Antica for miles. The crucified victims were not taken down but left to rot so that the populace fully understood who was in charge in the Roman Empire. The Appia Antica does have its demons. R. Nelson, PhD..

[@kyleanuar9090]

Now you realise what the mic pick up the sound of tyres on gravel horrendously

[@WalksInsideRome]

Yeah, traffic was also a nightmare that day!!

[@willidevegt8831]

are you a Roman or Italian ? I don't get why your English is so perfect and you don't sound at all like an Italian who speaks English If i return to Rome and i can remember your video i wil contact you

[@tasteapiana]

I absolutely detest historical monuments and structures but I get why modern people who live in otherwise useless and economically trashed places like to keep them around. If it weren't for my ethical and moral stances against any form of nostalgia I would say ''At least it's pretty'' but it's not, it's really not, especially in the face of skyrocketing rents and sprawl. All roads may lead to Rome but why? There's nothing there but dead people, both the dead dead and living dead, oh, and fairy tales of how mass murder is justifiable as long as it brings ''culture'' to the ''heathens'' who don't buy your system of imaginary deities and corrupt mobster politics. The world would be a much better place had the Celts developed nuclear weapons in the 4th century BC.

[@paulcapaccio9905]

you’ve got some serious problems. Have you thought about seeing a doctor?

[@tasteapiana]

@@paulcapaccio9905 Why should I see a doctor when I've got you? You seem to know everything about me.

[@CarloRossi54523]

Don't think the Celts were kinder, they were just weaker

[@tasteapiana]

@@CarloRossi54523 Exactly, none of this annoying and pointless sht would be happening now as we'd all be dead instead of patting ourselves on the head for a mediocre salvage effort for a planet we've just about destroyed while giving endless platitudes about how ''noble'' some were while pulling their dicks to some never ever happened grandeur.
