Escape the bustling city center and embark on an unforgettable journey through time with our Appian Way Bike Tour. This 5-hour immersive experience combines the thrill of cycling on professional e-bikes with the profound historical beauty of Rome’s ancient outskirts. As you pedal along the legendary Appian Way, you will witness where nature, art, and history converge in a stunning Regional Park setting.
Your adventure begins at the majestic Aurelian Walls, serving as the gateway to the countryside. With the ease of our electric bikes, you will glide through lush meadows and past iconic archaeological ruins, seeing a side of Rome that most tourists never reach. This is the perfect opportunity to capture incredible photos and experience the true essence of the Eternal City.
A major highlight of this tour is the descent into the underground world. You will explore the San Callisto Catacombs, a vast 30-hectare funerary complex dating back to the 2nd century. Learn the fascinating history of how these subterranean passages became the official cemetery of the early Roman Church, named after Pope Callistus I. Walking through these silent, historic tunnels offers a unique perspective on early Christian life and burial traditions.
After your subterranean exploration, the adventure continues with a well-deserved traditional lunch at a local restaurant. This is the perfect time to relax, refuel, and reflect on the day's discoveries with your group. Whether you are a history buff, a nature lover, or simply looking for an active and exciting way to spend your day in Rome, this tour offers the perfect blend of exercise, culture, and culinary delight. Join us to uncover the hidden gems of Rome and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Wear comfortable shoes and light, breathable clothing suitable for cycling. Remember to bring a light jacket as the underground catacombs are naturally cool year-round.
