Ferdinando was an excellent guide who got our group of 12 safely mounted on e-bikes and riding down the Appian Way. He pointed out so many interesting features about its construction, the funerary monuments along the way and details about ancient Roman life all in such an engaging way! He clearly knows his subject matter and is clearly fascinated by it himself. Plus, we got to ride on the very same basalt stones that the ancient charioteers traveled!
