Thank you so much for your walks through Italy - your Pompeii tours in particular were a revelation, especially after I viewed the amazing aerial view in Google Earth!
Oh Wow!!! Thank you so much Jasmine. I really appreciate your support and I'm so glad you enjoyed this. I'm posting another from Pompeii next week and then one from smaller Herculaneum! -H
@@CityWalks I've really enjoyed your views throughout Italy of the beautiful stonework in roads and buildings. The Romans sure did a better job with cement and concrete than we do now!
Walking through here is very beautiful and a lot of history here as well. A very beautiful day for a walk and the great warm weather. Thanks for your videos and will be watching more of them and Thank You. 📹🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶🚶📹
Like 51 👍 Hello from Naples, Florida. We really enjoyed exploring the Pompeii ruins with you. Awesome views, indeed. Thank you so much for sharing, have a nice week. 💯
Wow, what an incredible experience! Walking through the ruins of Pompeii must have been truly awe-inspiring. It's amazing to think about the history and stories that these ancient buildings hold. I totally agree that hiring a guide is the way to go - they can really bring the site to life and make the experience even more meaningful. Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
I love this one as much as the others I’ve watched. You saved me a small fortune by making this available to someone like me who can’t travel due to my dogs ( they won’t eat when I’m gone even if just overnight!) keep them coming!😉😃🎉
Absolutely wow! Thanks, Henry! During Latin class in high school, I did a replica of the guard dog mosaic. It went to a competition and I know I got a ribbon, but that's all I remember. 😄 It was great to see it! It is a very sobering feeling walking through it with you...what the people must have been thinking or hoping. And you taught my son and I a new word, "detritus." When my son heard you say it, he stuck his pinky up and said, "Fancy!" But the definition, not so much. Lol. Thanks again, Henry!
Hi Carol, so glad to hear it. There is another Pompei walk on the channel as well, and next week, I am posting Herculaneum. All the best, and keep on steppin’ -H
@@CityWalks I saw that one first! What a fascinating look into history. I thought it was all but demolished and had no idea they were so committed to excavation.
Thank you for such an amazing, historical walk, Henry! I got chills walking through in person many years ago, and got those same chills walking through with you. I'm sure it's larger than when I visited, as the excavating continues. And how wonderful they still use the amphitheater - incredible to think of how long human beings have sat in that space for various types of entertainment. 🙂
Next best thing to being there...lol. I am enjoying your video, and have a bit of info that might be of interestl. When you were filming in the theatre, and mentioned that you thought it was rebuilt...well yes and no. The theatre was one of the first things found by the Bourbon era diggers, and the marble cladding of the theatre, its seats and that of many other buildings were harvested for reuse in their own building projects. The shape of the theatre, the tiers, and main structure were intact. I believe that they did build up the tiers with brick, but i could be wrong. The marble that you see is all that was left after the Bourbons snatched it. It has had some restoration done, mainly to ensure stability and safety. Sadly, the marble, statues and other such decorations are also, long gone. Some it can be found in the Naples Museum, and some is in private collections, and some copies have been placed around the ruins.
Wonderful info. Thanks so much for sharing it. There is so much to see and do and no, it is hard to imagine doing and knowing it all. So having someone who knows and can add a bit more is very much appreciated. It is a fascinating place to visit. Thanks again. - H.
Oh I forgot to add, the amphitheatre is directly at the top of via Abondanza, there is an entrance there on piazza ampiteatro, less busy than the via marina entrance.
Hi there, Bob, for this video I used a DJI Osmo, two pocket camera. I am currently using a DJI Osmo pocket three and love it. Hope that helps. Thanks for commenting and watching. - H.
I love how ancient Rome was so beautiful and it’s prime and it’s really How there wasn’t running water in peoples houses when Rome fell until the 19 century about 1500 or more years later it’s really crazy how much they were really ahead of their time. Romans were really magnificent in their building techniques or architecture their art the way they’ve ruled was really astounding . I love Rome history. My ancestors actually go back to that. Period and it’s really amazing how Rome started off with all kind of different people wanted to build their own country in their own citizenship their own way of life just like America does now and I really believe that America is just like Rome in some ways
Humans really are incredible species. The amount of things they figured out without all the computers and electronics is really amazing. Thanks so much for the comment and for watching. - H.
You are right, you need to go back to see the rest of it. My guess is you followed the map ?? Half of the best parts of Pompeii aren't actually on it! Next time, download a guide to Pompeii where it tells you what buildings are where, there's over 90 places to see, split over 10 regions. What I did is drew the region's, placed those areas into the region's added the buildings and the road names. That way, I planned the route I was going to take and then got to see every inch of the place in 8 hours. I'm going back in a few days because I just love it so much 😊
You really should walk with your camera directed to either left or right (whichever side of the street you're walking on) so us viewers can see into those rooms and stop the video to take a longer look. Seeing what is in front of you is cool but not as cool as these ancient homes and businesses are.
Hi Kay, I hear you. I do actually go into several rooms etc. Unfortunately, I couldn't go into everyone of them due to time and energy constraints. Thanks for the feedback though. -H
@@CityWalks no problem! You don't even have to go into the rooms. Just aim your camera to your right or left so we can see inside the rooms as you pass by them. That's all I was saying. I enjoyed the walk, though! ❤️

Thanks again, Henry!
That’s a great story and I laughed out loud at your son’s comment. Great. Thanks for watching. -H
Incredible! You've set me on a quest to discover Pompeii.
Hi Carol, so glad to hear it. There is another Pompei walk on the channel as well, and next week, I am posting Herculaneum. All the best, and keep on steppin’ -H
@@CityWalks I saw that one first! What a fascinating look into history. I thought it was all but demolished and had no idea they were so committed to excavation.
@@wellcoachcaroloconnor They really are. So much is still buried. -H
Somehow, I'd always pictured Pompeii much smaller, and maybe less developed. Thank you for the walk and the education.
Hi Paul, yeah it's enormous. Herculaneum (in a couple weeks) is much smaller and quieter.- H
Great video,thank you
You are so welcome. There's another one from Pompeii and one from Herculaneum as well if you are interested. Keep on Steppin' -H
Thank you for such an amazing, historical walk, Henry! I got chills walking through in person many years ago, and got those same chills walking through with you.

Well said, Pam. There's so much to see and explore there. -H
Hope to visit this historical place 😊
