I'm addicted to Roman history, it is simply mind blowing! I've been to Rome few years ago and it is just stunning! I'm from Jordan and the fact that we have one of the best preserved Roman Amphitheatres in the world/Middle East just proves how majestic was the Roman Empire.
They're a very fascinating empire with tons of history and influence in today's world. Not to mention transition of christianity is embedded in their history.
I've been three times in Rome, and I can tell that NO PLACE in Europe or in the Western World made me so amazed in my life (sorry Paris, London, Berlin, etc). It's PURE history in front of our eyes. Every street, avenue, parks, and of course, the ancient monuments of Rome have something to say...........
While living in Madrid in the 90's for about a decade, I visited other cities in Europe. Now I live in the US and for some reason, I never visited Italy till last summer. And I felt the same thing. I fell in love with Rome. Everything about it. And I apologize to Paris, Berlin and other major European cities because Rome just has her unique feeling about her. I will definitely visit her again some day.
@@ProWalks Sadly not, because of short visit. However, i visited Rome, Venice, Florence and Milan when i was in Italy. I loved all these cities especially Rome and Florence. I also went to Athens, Greece and i am planning to visit Europe again especially Italy after this pandemic that we are encountering right now.
Hey Dave, I went back to Rome a couple weeks ago to do some more walking and this time I went in the church and you can see the door from the inside. I'll get that one posted up soon.
ProWalks omg,that is great,thank you ,these walks have shown me a world of which I had seen only glimpses in books or documentaries,plus the little captions with bits of historical background in my opinion enhance the whole experience,much appreciated.
I suffer from social anxiety and don’t go out much. I will probably never see these places in person, but this makes me feel like a child on my dads shoulders, so high up and safe. Thank you so much.
I love this video. It's a great history lesson about the Roman Forum. You did a wonderful job letting me know the names of the buildings, when they were built, and what they were used for. Thanks.
Wow, thankyou. Being of Italian decent and a history buff, I've always wanted to experience ancient Roma. This may be the closest I get to doing that. A truly amazing place. Grazie
I've visited many, though not all, sites in Italy that you've up loaded. I have to say, that I thinki I get more out of watching your video than by the actual physical act walking through these sites. Thinking back, while going through these sites I was often preoccupied with what I wanted to do next, trying to fit things into a tight schedule etc etc . But sitting in the comfort of my living room, I'm actually seeing more, and taking more in than I did actually walking through the actual sites. Additionally, I really like that there is no audio commentary, just the ambient sounds you hear as you walk through the various sites. With the added notes that pop up here and there with various information on certain features. So anyway, thanks so much for you sharing your visits to these sites, and please accept my compliments on the simple but effective production of these videos. Job well done !
Thank you! That is very much appreciated. I started this channel with the idea of making treadmill walking videos but I think the arm chair tourist is my base. I've been to many of these places several times now and each time i go i realize i missed something big that i didn't see before. So i hope you and others will see something new in these videos. I'm always open to suggestions on places to go or how to improve the videos if you have any. Thanks for watching!
I noticed throughout the video that people are really not very engaged. Most couples aren't even holding hands. A lot of people getting selfies, etc, but I would have been stuck at the entrance for four hours if I had seen this in person.
You need to make a video on how to avoid the street merchants trying to hawk goods to you everywhere you go. 😂 or the thieves trying to sell you cheap knock off goods all over the place. Or best places to eat also would make another good video , thanks for the video. I very much enjoyed my trip to Rome and would love to go back. What a amazing city.
Oh my i visited Rome in november last year and i have to tell you this tour was way more fulfilling i didn't realise i had miss so much. Thank you for letting me know i must return. Really a great work best virtual anything i have ever seen.Thank you.
Great videos. Was here last week for the second time (I’m from Ireland) and it such an amazing place. You could spend hours wandering around the forum alone. Been fascinated by ancient Rome since it was a kid.
Wow! I have been to the forum four times and you went to areas that were closed off when I visited. This video gave me such a boost. I would love to visit Rome again, but this was the next best thing. Thank you.
Hi Deborah, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I keep waiting for things to open up around here so I can go film a new Forum tour but as of right now we still can't travel. In fact, tomorrow we go red again which means we can't leave our house unless for reasons of necessity. Thanks for watching! Hope all is well.
This was absolutely riveting. Never in my life did I dream I'd get my own "private tour" of The Forum. Thank you very much! This technique you used put me right there. Pure genius. Thanks again. 👏👏👏👏👍👍✌️😊
2007 I lost my ticket to the forum..saw Coliseum, no forum.....I almost cried, didn't have enough cash for another ticket...flew home sad.....thanks for excellent video tour...almost like being there...liked no music, no narration..
This doc is great, no music, no celebrity talking nonsense, short and concise explanation of the buildings in camera shot. The BBC should view this and learn.
Gorgeous video! I have watched many of your videos and this is one of my absolute favorites. Of course the Forum is an amazing location, but you found a, in my opinion, perfect mix between time for us to just enjoy the view and informative captions. Thanks so much for sharing. What I wouldn't give for a time machine to take a walk in the city in 200AD.
While Rome is on my itinerary, and it fascinates me, it fascinates me in the same way as China, Cambodia, Germany and Russia. Countries where unspeakable brutality took place. Ancient Rome was absolutely brutal. The debauchery, decadence and cold blooded murder that occurred during its heyday should not be forgotten. Ancient Rome's architectural achievements are wonderful, it's culture and treatment of non Romans are to be remembered and deplored.
Kroban3 ..it’s happening again today, but the msmedia isn’t telling us the whole truth. To be fair, Rome of the Kings and the Republic is seldom mentioned. It was truly greater then, but the decadent Rome seems to appeal to the decadent minds who now ‘control’ the world- and they have technology-. We never learn from history.
Thank you so much for uploading this! I had no idea that the buildings of ancient Rome were so huge! It must have been a truly awesome sight in its day!
I've been to Rome for work numerous times, walked around the forum and such but never actually walked inside of it. This walk through project is incredibly valuable I find! It enables people who may not have the means to catch the experience anyhow through an internet connection. For me its a quick and easy guide to figure out what I need to go see. Thank you so much for making these video's!
Hey, Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the walk. I hope you make it back to Rome again soon! Let me know if you have any good suggestions for other areas of Rome to walk.
I went there almost 'à years ago when I was a student and believe me or not it was early in the morning and i Felt "presences" as I was walking on the main roads ! It is the only places where you can imagine life as it might have been in ancient Rome; time has passed but when I think of it it is just as if it was yesterday. Thanks you for that visit.
These videos have been a god send during this time of isolation during stay at home. To escape to the wonderful destinations and escape has helped my mental health. The chatter of the people is really cool. Like I’m there. Thank you so much!
I visited the Roman Forum 5 days ago and I have to say this was very satisfying to watch. Walking through it myself I didn't realise what everything was and it was very hot and crowded, so I was almost glad when I had made it through and out again. But watching your video was super relaxing and I felt like it was perfect to give me a sort of rounded up picture in my head of the forum, that I had needed after I was there myself. On a more general note, I really love your videos and all the effort you put into them. The lack of annoying background music is totally refreshing and the overall tone relaxing to watch. And of course, the recordings themselves are aesthetically pleasing to the max. So far I only watched your Pompeii video and this one, but I feel like your channel is totally underappreciated and I really do hope you will gain more attention for your great work!
Hi, I hope you enjoyed your trip. Rome can be exhausting especially in the heat. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. These videos have been a lot of fun to make. I'm not the fastest at getting new videos uploaded but I always have one that I'm working on. I like to think this channel will get bigger, but I'm not sure if the long format is what people really want.....but I have some great supporters! Thanks for watching! Let me know if there is anything I can do to improve the whole experience. Thanks.
I had a nice trip, thanks! Sadly I suffered from heat exhaustion after my Roman Forum visit, so that wasn't fun ... But back to topic, I think you should take all the time you need in making these videos. They seem like a lot of work to make so it's totally okay if you need a bit longer to keep the quality high!
But why those cant travel? Why we still slaves for crumbs? And cant live free life? Anyone has to be in possibility to earn money to travel anywhere he wants!!!
Great video, I enjoyed it very much. I have read and listened to and watched countless hours of stories about the forum but I've never had the experience of walking through it from a first person perspective. That is what makes your videos so special. Thanks very much - this is surely my new favorite.
Hey Mike, thanks for always watching and leaving comments! I really appreciate it. Yeah, it's pretty hard to piece together what a place like the Forum looks like from a more traditional documentary or travel blog. I don't like being in front of the camera anyway so this works out. :)
Brilliant and so simple ! Shot by one guy carrying what appears to be a GoPro on a stick. Phenomenal picture quality for such a tiny camera, with stupendous audio. I've been to the Colosseum and this is just like being there in the flesh. Fine artistry: enough static holds to appreciate the magnificence of the place, plus exceptionally stable and intelligently crafted tracking shots. Congratulations !!!
Hey, glad you enjoyed it! I recently uploaded this walk again, but with an actual tour guide of Rome narrating the entire walk. I think it's pretty cool. Check it out...if you feel like watching it again at some point. :)
I think you're my favorite channel on TH-cam now. I could watch this stuff 24/7! Seriously thinking about getting a 4K TV now just to see these videos the "right" way...
That is really great to hear! I actually did the same thing...I had an old 720p TV for the last 7 years and finally decided it was time for an upgrade after making these videos. It really does make a huge difference!
Been to Rome 3 times and planing on a 4th trip. The entire city is just mind blowing beautiful. Tip: visit as much churches as possible. There are hundreds in Rome and the most insignificant looking from the outside are the most stunning inside. Awesome vid, I learned some new things. cheers from the Netherlands
I watched this video several times before visiting Rome, it is excellent and truly usefull. I made the same walk tour and it's very nice to remember. Thank you again
That's great! I had been to the Forum a few times before filming this so it helped to learn the best route. Glad this walk was able to help you plan your trip.
Vi este video varias veces antes de visitar Roma, es excelente y verdaderamente util. Hice el mismo recorrido a pie y al verlo es muy agradable para recordar. Gracias de nuevo.
I was there in 2019 and it was spectacular! For some strange reason our tour guide pointed out the niche where Caesar was cremated but didn't stop, so I went over for a quick look then hurried back to my group. I can't even imagine how devastated an ancient Roman would be if they could see the state of their beautiful city today. And how amazed we would be if we could see her in her heyday! All of those incredible wonders!
Amazing!!!! Thank you thank you … I took the virtual tour in almost complete silence just the descriptions in writing of each structure .. I enormously enjoyed . Can’t tank you enough ! Greetings from Ca .
I was in Rome one week ago and enjoyed great visits to the Palatine Hill and Colosseum, as well as other places. Your videos of both these places are absolutely stunning. Brilliant work and so nice to just SEE the places and recall all the happy memories I have of them rather than listen to someone else's idea of what I am looking at. I am certain that these two videos are the very best I have ever seen of this type of presentation. Many, many thanks.
Great video ! Just the sites on a sunny day with some details on screen and no background music. Lets the Forum & Ancient Rome “ speak” for itself. I visited Rome a few times in the past and enjoyed your video !
Excellent!! Thank you..Ive never been in that part .ive been Rome 3 times..my 4th visit will be April this year (2020) ....I didnt realise just how much was there until I watched this! So I can tick it off my list of "to do's" as there's so much of Rome you just cannot do it all in a week or two..you will find you will go back to Rome..even if for 2nd or 3rd time..but believe me you still wont see it all...thats why I love Rome so much! You can never get bored.
@@ProWalks oh that'll be great! Id like to see what and where the walks are best in Trastevere? I may have spelt that wrong so my apologies..as Ive heard so much about that area..so many hidden gems? Be great to see where your next Walk will be.
Hey, you're welcome! Yeah, its sure makes it real to be able to walk on the same streets as the ancient Romans. I walked around Assisi today and it was like going back in time.... Except for all the cars and souvenir shops. :)
WOW what a great video tour of ancient Rome.If you wanted to see Rome before going this is the video to watch.I had been there 45 years ago and can say this shows ancient rome well.No misic no voice just a silent walk-about.
The monuments seem so small from afar but oh my god they are gigantic once you’re right next to them. Except the Trevi fountain, the plaza is smaller than what I imagined.
This is wonderful beyond words. I’ve been going to Rome for over twenty years and this is such a beautiful and informative way to see it with meaning all over again from our armchair. And it’s helpful to jog my memory because it’s been a couple years since my last visit! This is the best best best vid!
I enjoyed this much more than the actual tour I took in 2016. The guide was "pushed for time" and the Forum was busy. Being Rome in summer it was also extremely hot and very crowded. I was touring some of the Mayan ruins in Mexico in Jan this year and, if you have any sort of video camera such as a go pro, you have to pay a fee before entering the site. Don't know how they stop anyone using their smartphone to take videos instead of pics however. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! Yeah the first time I went in July of 2010 and it was 100 degrees. It was a little rough. I hope you enjoyed your trip to Italy! I haven't been to any Mayan ruins yet but maybe this channel will get me there someday. Thanks for the headsup.
Brilliant! Your walks are the best. I loved this one because I was taken through the Forum on a guided tour but missed so much. Your walk gave me the chance to see it properly and see much more. I actually preferred your walk to the guided tour :-)
Hey, thanks! I've taken that tour a couple times as well. :) It is hard to take it all in the first time...especially when it is burning hot outside and you have so much of the city still to explore. I'm glad you enjoyed the walk. Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for the walking 'tour'. Rome is the last great city on my list that I've not yet visited. It's really nice to get a feel for the forum before I (eventually) get there.
I was there in May 2018, wish I would have seen this first, your detailed descriptions were awesome. I walked right past the cremation area of Cesar...didn’t know it was there. Thanks for the great vid.
The blood that was shed was not from tears but from the body of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, along with countless other Christians who were murdered for their faith on those barbaric wooden crosses. Crucifixion was a vile form of death and thank God that this evil empire finally fell!!
Nice video, good quality, well paced. Love the end in the church with the gospel story, that's what brought me to this tour in the first place. God bless, Aloha
Hey, thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it. If you look at my Rome walk, you'll the see outside of the prison where Peter was kept. It is there in Roman but on the other side of the fence. It starts around 3 hrs and 13 minutes. I should probably make that video shorter. :)
Thank you. I saw and learned more from your video than physically walking with a guide in May. I have difficulty walking so really enjoyed your young man's pace! I made a donation via PayPal as a token of appreciation for a job well done.
That's great to hear! I started making these walks for treadmill walkers but now they are more geared toward taking a tour from the comfort of home. I've had to learn to walk a little slower and look around more. Many more walks to come. I'm working on Egypt right now.
Many thanks, really nice to add the text guide info and graphics. Wish I watched this before my trip, unfortunately had to rush through the Roman forum.
Sono davvero entusiasta di questo video. Camera e' ferma e si vede benissimo tutto. Io vivo a Rima da 27 anni e non sono mai scesa a Fori Romani, a Fori Imperiali sono scesa, invece qua mai. Lo ammiravo sempre da sopra. Invece con questo video mi sembra di aver fatto la passegiata insieme a voi, cosi' ho visto anche questo bellissimo angolo di Roma. Tanti complimenti per la professionalita' e grazie per la bellissima passegiata' con voi.
1989 drove from Brindisi, Italy to Roma~ arrived early morning, with a trunk full of Budweiser, next to the Forum...So, fortunate to have lived in Italy!...
Awesome video I went there about a year ago and enjoyed it a ton but it was during the middle of a heat wave and probably above 35 Celsius and packed so much that it was hard to really take everything in and experience it. Thanks for no background music and just raw Rome 🙌

I actually like the fact that there is NO background music! Great primer video on the forum. Loved it.
can not stand it with music

Every street, avenue, parks, and of course, the ancient monuments of Rome have something to say...........
Oh yes. Rome is amazing. The history is unbelievable. It's really really beautiful. Best city trip ever.
Yes yes to this. Nothing compares! I've been twice, last just last week, and I am obsessed. Can't wait to go back and conquer the Domus Aurea!
the great italy

I fell in love with Rome. Everything about it. And I apologize to Paris, Berlin and other major European cities because Rome just has her unique feeling about her.

I want to meet some family still following ancient Rome religion to understand it with reference to the another oldest culture of Hinduism.
This is my favorite city in Europe. I visited Rome in Sept 2019 and it was the highlight of my trip to Europe. I cant wait to go back again.
I'm glad you enjoyed your trip. Did you visit Naples?
@@ProWalks Sadly not, because of short visit. However, i visited Rome, Venice, Florence and Milan when i was in Italy. I loved all these cities especially Rome and Florence. I also went to Athens, Greece and i am planning to visit Europe again especially Italy after this pandemic that we are encountering right now.
Simple Traveler How’s Athens?
Absolutely stunning. Roma Eterna.
I've been in Rome many times ....I left my heart in Rome ....
I have been there. Rome is by far the most beautiful city in Europe. The history is just amazing. It was absolutely stunning.
That bronze metal door is magnificent,1700 years old and still standing,wow.
Hey Dave, I went back to Rome a couple weeks ago to do some more walking and this time I went in the church and you can see the door from the inside. I'll get that one posted up soon.

According to the tour guide on our recent visit, the lock still works too!
I suffer from social anxiety and don’t go out much. I will probably never see these places in person, but this makes me feel like a child on my dads shoulders, so high up and safe. Thank you so much.
The glory that was once Rome, the definition of global power, incredible, good Job.
Egypt was first you philistine.
@@mozartwolfgang4656
Dumb ass..My name alone shows that I’m not a Philistine you idiot.
I was here in Sept 2019 and i am still mesmerized by the beauty of this Forum.
There is a lot to see...and pretty amazing so much of it was buried for so long.
I love this video. It's a great history lesson about the Roman Forum. You did a wonderful job letting me know the names of the buildings, when they were built, and what they were used for. Thanks.

yeah... whatever.

Wonderful! I have done this walk myself, but never in such detail, nor did I pick up so much information. Somebody here deserves a Roman triumph!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful tour. For those who can't travel to those beautiful places it's a great opportunity to see the world
But why those cant travel? Why we still slaves for crumbs? And cant live free life? Anyone has to be in possibility to earn money to travel anywhere he wants!!!
Only walking, no talking, you are the BEST.

Fine artistry: enough static holds to appreciate the magnificence of the place, plus exceptionally stable and intelligently crafted tracking shots. Congratulations !!!
All i can say is wow. Thank you for sharing. You can see places without going there. Feesl like your almost there.
Hey, glad you enjoyed it! I recently uploaded this walk again, but with an actual tour guide of Rome narrating the entire walk. I think it's pretty cool. Check it out...if you feel like watching it again at some point. :)
These are the most incredible videos I've ever seen on ancient Rome.
I think you're my favorite channel on TH-cam now. I could watch this stuff 24/7!
Seriously thinking about getting a 4K TV now just to see these videos the "right" way...
That is really great to hear! I actually did the same thing...I had an old 720p TV for the last 7 years and finally decided it was time for an upgrade after making these videos. It really does make a huge difference!
Didn’t realise it was so big. So much to see! Thank you!❤️
You’re welcome 😊Thanks for watching.
Been to Rome 3 times and planing on a 4th trip. The entire city is just mind blowing beautiful. Tip: visit as much churches as possible. There are hundreds in Rome and the most insignificant looking from the outside are the most stunning inside. Awesome vid, I learned some new things. cheers from the Netherlands
I've been here 20 years ago and this brought me right back. I like that there is no talking.
Hey, glad you enjoyed it!
I like this kind of walk tour, silent, no music ,just captions whatever needs to be described ...
I watched this video several times before visiting Rome, it is excellent and truly usefull. I made the same walk tour and it's very nice to remember. Thank you again
That's great! I had been to the Forum a few times before filming this so it helped to learn the best route. Glad this walk was able to help you plan your trip.
Vi este video varias veces antes de visitar Roma, es excelente y verdaderamente util. Hice el mismo recorrido a pie y al verlo es muy agradable para recordar. Gracias de nuevo.
I was there in 2019 and it was spectacular! For some strange reason our tour guide pointed out the niche where Caesar was cremated but didn't stop, so I went over for a quick look then hurried back to my group. I can't even imagine how devastated an ancient Roman would be if they could see the state of their beautiful city today. And how amazed we would be if we could see her in her heyday! All of those incredible wonders!
Thank you for shearing great video .You are a really amazing and professional photography
Amazing!!!! Thank you thank you … I took the virtual tour in almost complete silence just the descriptions in writing of each structure .. I enormously enjoyed . Can’t tank you enough ! Greetings from Ca .
Wonderful, as always. A great pleasure to watch!
I was in Rome one week ago and enjoyed great visits to the Palatine Hill and Colosseum, as well as other places. Your videos of both these places are absolutely stunning. Brilliant work and so nice to just SEE the places and recall all the happy memories I have of them rather than listen to someone else's idea of what I am looking at. I am certain that these two videos are the very best I have ever seen of this type of presentation. Many, many thanks.
I am going there next week. Thanks for the info. Great video. Informative and smooth camera action.
Great video ! Just the sites on a sunny day with some details on screen and no background music. Lets the Forum & Ancient Rome “ speak” for itself. I visited Rome a few times in the past and enjoyed your video !
Hey, thanks so much! I'll be posting up a walking tour of Ostia Antica next.
Excellent!! Thank you..Ive never been in that part .ive been Rome 3 times..my 4th visit will be April this year (2020) ....I didnt realise just how much was there until I watched this! So I can tick it off my list of "to do's" as there's so much of Rome you just cannot do it all in a week or two..you will find you will go back to Rome..even if for 2nd or 3rd time..but believe me you still wont see it all...thats why I love Rome so much! You can never get bored.
You're right. I need to go back and explore some more. I think I might go back this spring or summer and film a new walk.
@@ProWalks oh that'll be great! Id like to see what and where the walks are best in Trastevere? I may have spelt that wrong so my apologies..as Ive heard so much about that area..so many hidden gems? Be great to see where your next Walk will be.
It's almost like being there. Fantastic job.
me too
Great for us disabled
Thanks for sharing I will never be able to visit a great historical place like that just imagine living back in that time
Hey, you're welcome! Yeah, its sure makes it real to be able to walk on the same streets as the ancient Romans. I walked around Assisi today and it was like going back in time.... Except for all the cars and souvenir shops. :)
WOW what a great video tour of ancient Rome.If you wanted to see Rome before going this is the video to watch.I had been there 45 years ago and can say this shows ancient rome well.No misic no voice just a silent walk-about.
Hey, thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
The monuments seem so small from afar but oh my god they are gigantic once you’re right next to them. Except the Trevi fountain, the plaza is smaller than what I imagined.
This is wonderful beyond words. I’ve been going to Rome for over twenty years and this is such a beautiful and informative way to see it with meaning all over again from our armchair. And it’s helpful to jog my memory because it’s been a couple years since my last visit! This is the best best best vid!
As an Historian was a dream walk around that site and a true pleasure throught your camera walk it again, thank you!
Hi, You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope you saw something you hadn't seen before.
Now this is how a video is done. Stunning and very informative. Thank you for this.
Hey, you're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Bravo! I was there about 3 months after you took this awesome, professional video. Great to relive it all. Thanks!
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the walk. I hope it felt a bit like watching a video of your own trip.
Great video. Really exemplifies the wonders of Rome . I realize how much I missed while I was there. This video filled in the gaps.Thank you.
The Forum and Palatine were not open when I visited decades ago. Thank you for filling in my missing tour!
Hey, you're welcome. I'm hoping to go back soon and film an updated tour.
Sin palabras !!! Esta fantástico me encanta la información y increíble las tomas , acabamos de ir y aprendí más aquí de lo que vi. Gracias 😀👌
De nada! Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing video. I felt like I was there. Thank you for posting it
I enjoyed this much more than the actual tour I took in 2016. The guide was "pushed for time" and the Forum was busy. Being Rome in summer it was also extremely hot and very crowded. I was touring some of the Mayan ruins in Mexico in Jan this year and, if you have any sort of video camera such as a go pro, you have to pay a fee before entering the site. Don't know how they stop anyone using their smartphone to take videos instead of pics however. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! Yeah the first time I went in July of 2010 and it was 100 degrees. It was a little rough. I hope you enjoyed your trip to Italy! I haven't been to any Mayan ruins yet but maybe this channel will get me there someday. Thanks for the headsup.
Brilliant! Your walks are the best. I loved this one because I was taken through the Forum on a guided tour but missed so much. Your walk gave me the chance to see it properly and see much more. I actually preferred your walk to the guided tour :-)
Hey, thanks! I've taken that tour a couple times as well. :) It is hard to take it all in the first time...especially when it is burning hot outside and you have so much of the city still to explore. I'm glad you enjoyed the walk. Thanks for watching!
Beautiful Roma - can’t wait to return
That beggar at 47:18 looks like an original from ancient Rome...that indumentary never goes out of fashion.Great video...thanks.
Thank you so much for the walking 'tour'. Rome is the last great city on my list that I've not yet visited. It's really nice to get a feel for the forum before I (eventually) get there.
I never realized just how much is still in tact. Thank you for this excellent walking tour.
Hey, you're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Superb Video - Thanks for making it - We could see Ancient Rome which we have studied in our textbooks long back
I was there in May 2018, wish I would have seen this first, your detailed descriptions were awesome. I walked right past the cremation area of Cesar...didn’t know it was there. Thanks for the great vid.
Thank you for another really great video. Beautifully filmed and very interesting!
Hi, Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
The architect is amazingly beautiful and it feels so familiar to me!
Maybe you were a Roman citizen in your past life 😳
Everything in Rome was beautiful and superb. The world must have cried tears of blood with its fall
The blood that was shed was not from tears but from the body of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, along with countless other Christians who were murdered for their faith on those barbaric wooden crosses. Crucifixion was a vile form of death and thank God that this evil empire finally fell!!
John 3:16 Imagine being so dumb to tag the Roman Empire as “evil” lol
@@John-kd4ef rome was Christian empire for the majority of its existence tho
@@John-kd4ef oh stfu
@@mattg0469 well they weren't notorious for their delicate charm lol
Very nice indeed. No music, very informative with sparse but enough comments and steady camera handling. Perfect for the medium. Thanks!
Hey, thanks for watching! I recently posted a new and more complete Roman Forum walk here --> th-cam.com/video/SkCV7czZq6U/w-d-xo.html
Nice video, good quality, well paced. Love the end in the church with the gospel story, that's what brought me to this tour in the first place. God bless, Aloha
Hey, thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it. If you look at my Rome walk, you'll the see outside of the prison where Peter was kept. It is there in Roman but on the other side of the fence. It starts around 3 hrs and 13 minutes. I should probably make that video shorter. :)
Here it is: th-cam.com/video/vK928kqYUPI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks a lot I wish I was younger so I could go myself but you are excellent to the point so watching these walks is great for me
Thank you. I saw and learned more from your video than physically walking with a guide in May. I have difficulty walking so really enjoyed your young man's pace! I made a donation via PayPal as a token of appreciation for a job well done.
Excelente video. Fue bonito recordar esos lugares. Me encantaria volver. 😘
Fantastic videos. I put a different one on each day and walk on my treadmill. Keep them coming.
That's great to hear! I started making these walks for treadmill walkers but now they are more geared toward taking a tour from the comfort of home. I've had to learn to walk a little slower and look around more. Many more walks to come. I'm working on Egypt right now.
Many thanks, really nice to add the text guide info and graphics. Wish I watched this before my trip, unfortunately had to rush through the Roman forum.
This was wonderful! I loved this tour. Loved the info as text. Bravo, molto ben fatto!
Sono davvero entusiasta di questo video. Camera e' ferma e si vede benissimo tutto. Io vivo a Rima da 27 anni e non sono mai scesa a Fori Romani, a Fori Imperiali sono scesa, invece qua mai. Lo ammiravo sempre da sopra. Invece con questo video mi sembra di aver fatto la passegiata insieme a voi, cosi' ho visto anche questo bellissimo angolo di Roma.
Tanti complimenti per la professionalita' e grazie per la bellissima passegiata' con voi.
Grazie Mille, e il Palatino per piacere con la rampa di Diocleziano.
Sempre cosi bene fatto .
Congratulations
What is amazing is the shear volume of building materials carted off from ancient Rome as there is so little left of the original buildings .
Nicely done. Thanks for taking me along for the trip.
👍👍👍❤❤❤ Thank you! 잘 둘러봤네요. 정말 감사합니다. 최고예요.
Thank you. We were there today. But my husband did not want to wait on the long line. Now I’m catching up on what I missed.
Well I hope you feel like you've seen it now. How much longer are you there? The weather is great right now.
After our visit to Rome and after visiting this wonderful place, a very beautiful film that reminds us of sightseeing. Thank you 🙂
1989 drove from Brindisi, Italy to Roma~ arrived early morning, with a trunk full of Budweiser, next to the Forum...So, fortunate to have lived in Italy!...
Oh man!!! You really do make feel like I'm there! Thank you so much for these awesome walkthroughs!
Hey, glad you enjoyed it. I need to go back as soon as possible and film a new tour without all the tourists. :)
Excellent virtual walking tour ! Highly recommend watching before a visit/tour of the Forum
Awesome video I went there about a year ago and enjoyed it a ton but it was during the middle of a heat wave and probably above 35 Celsius and packed so much that it was hard to really take everything in and experience it. Thanks for no background music and just raw Rome 🙌
