Highlighted reviews from other travelers
We took this tour as a couple with two young adult sons. The Cannondale e-bikes are high quality and well maintained. The tour took 6 hours and my watch recorded 16 miles biking. There are several stops on the way on historical sites and one longer stop at a pizzeria (very good, despite its gas station roadside location). The assisted power provided by the e-bikes means that anyone can pedal the full distance, including hill climbs, without getting exhausted. However, it is important to mention that some bike handling experience is welcome, because there is uneven terrain, gravel roads and a significant length in city traffic. Special shout-out to our gour guide Bita. She is such a gem of a person, very knowledgeable, relatable and engaging. She took such good care of all of us and made us feel safe at all points of the tour, which was particularly important when sharing the road with city traffic. Highly recommended activity.
Just a perfect day. Beautiful scenery. Sina was very informative and just lovely.

Full description
Meet your guide and go through St. Sebastian's gate in the Aurelian Walls to enter the Ancient Appian Way - a 2,300-year old thoroughfare that tells the story of Rome's rise, golden age, and decline.
In the 6-hour tour, make a stop underground at the Catacombs of St. Callixtus (or St. Sebastian) for a guided visit through its crypts and corridors. In the 4-hour tour, make a short stop at the entrance of the Catacombs for a brief explanation of their history and significance.
Next, cycle further on the Appian Way, passing mausoleums, tombstones, and sprawling villas of ancient aristocracy, as you enjoy the stillness of this picturesque landscapes before you.
Finally, head to the Park of the Aqueducts, where stretches of colossal arches rise against the warm afternoon light. After following these aqueducts back to modern civilization, cross the green Caffarella Valley. At its exit, you will begin your short ride back to the starting point - but not without one last highlight.
