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!
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!
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.
It is not a fallen civilisation. Languages, law , roads, still goes on. Regards
Suggestion: Record in mute mode, the vehicles noise is unbearable. Use voice over with, without subtitles. Otherwise, Congratulations
This was awesome. I had a great time taking this virtual Tour. Thank you!
Fantastic!!! Fantastic!!! I was literally glued to your video. You are a brilliant educator!!! Mille Grazie Alessandro!!!
Well done sir,
Very much enjoyed this video!! Thank you very much for making it, so cool.
Love the video, but you need to something about the noise ( cars, etc..) Maybe a microphone is a good idea.
I will be there in 3 days and take this ride with you! Ci vediamo
So well done! Thank you
Excellent information! Loved the tour!
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
This was very interesting. Thank you.
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.
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!
NICE AVIRTUAL TOUR,THANKS FOR SHARING, I VERY LOVE
Great video with regards the history & sights/sites along the Appia Antica. Great to leave the sections with the traffic noise behind.
That was fascinating. Great.
Just discovered you channel -- great guides ... videos a pleasure to watch.
Wonderful video !
Thank you Danny!
Wow, I was just on the Via Appia Antica, on the way to the airport. The taxi course a short distance and then turns take the modern road. It was amazing.
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.
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 :-)
Very interesting!
Amazing
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?
Molto bene, bravissimo, I really enjoyed the video
...hervorragend 👍👍 Thanks a lot!
Thanks... through this video, I was interested to visit the Appian Way...
I finally visited the Appian way...
Wonderful Rome ❤️
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. ;-)
Crazy noisy! I want very much to watch, but can’t deal with the noise. You are very knowledgeable.
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..
I think I will wait to visit after the electric car is common. Perhaps then the noise level will be tolerable.
E-bike along the Appia... I need to try that once with a guide.
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 😊❤
Great video. If you rent a bike, is it safe to leave it outside a catacomb while you go inside?
What type of damage did the stones of the Appian Way do to the wheels of the traveling vehicles? Were the wheels mostly wood?
Could you do a video on start of via appia_ at the circus maximus_?
I have heard of the Italian expression the 'four o'clock' shadow. Is it anything to do with the Appian Way describing 4.30? :)
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?
This probably a dumb question but are these bikes electric assist? And they available for clients of your tours?
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 :-)
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 :)
No. The sooner Rome erased the memory of that unfortunate revolt, the better.
The traffic noise spoils it.
You guys are amazing for your presentations....but you must spend a few moments and use an insulated mike on speaker for greater intelligibility.
❤🥰😇
👍
Minute 28:28 :)) LMAO, I died laughing :)))))
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!
_Qualis barba tua est? Ea tibi faciem vorans videtur._
Now you realise what the mic pick up the sound of tyres on gravel horrendously
Yeah, traffic was also a nightmare that day!!
I am sorry. Far to noisy for me! Please use something to filter the sound.
Pro tip, wait for the helicopter to pass overhead before recording.
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
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.

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.
you’ve got some serious problems. Have you thought about seeing a doctor?
@@paulcapaccio9905 Why should I see a doctor when I've got you? You seem to know everything about me.
Don't think the Celts were kinder, they were just weaker
@@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.
@@CarloRossi54523 actually they were
and that's why they lost
