Step by Step

Embark on a private bike tour of Rome's Appian Way for around 4 hours.

Accompanied by an expert guide, you will cycle along the highlights of the Appian Way and its surroundings. As this is a private tour, you have the advantage of a personalised experience. You can choose to cycle along the Appian Way alone or add a little extra to your route by visiting the aqueducts or entering the catacombs.

You will start your cycling adventure in the centre of Rome, where you will meet your guide and receive a brief introduction to the route and safety measures. You will then head towards the Appian Way, one of Rome's oldest and most famous roads. Known as "the queen of roads", the Appian Way is steeped in history and offers breathtaking views of the Roman countryside.

If you choose the option, you will have the opportunity to explore the Roman aqueducts, a marvel of ancient engineering that still stands today. Your guide will explain the importance of aqueducts in ancient Rome and show you the architectural details of these impressive structures.

You can also add to your bike tour the entrance to the catacombs, an underground labyrinth of tombs and passageways dating back to Roman times. You'll discover the history and mysteries of the catacombs as you explore their dark corridors and learn about the burial practices of ancient Rome.

Throughout the tour, your guide will be on hand to answer your questions and provide you with interesting information about the places you visit.

What's more, as this is a private tour, you will be able to tailor the tour to suit your interests and pace, ensuring you get the most out of your experience.
