Description

Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to experience Rome as not many do! On a Roman countryside bike tour of the ancient Appian Way and the catacombs, you’ll cycle on a 2,300-year-old cobblestone Roman road past an ancient sepulchre and an imperial palace. You’ll follow ancient Roman aqueducts. And you’ll ride through Caffarella Park, a preserved strip of land in the Roman countryside that so impressed 19th-century travelers like Byron, Goethe and Stendhal.

This small-group Rome bike tour is limited to twelve people, ensuring you receive personalized attention from your guide.

An exceptional tour of absolute beauty, the Ancient Appian Way, Catacombs and Roman Countryside Bike Tour is a fantastic way to explore the ancient sights and landscapes that surround Rome. It’s a journey into a unique setting, in which a miraculously intact environment, free from modernization, forms a backdrop to the continuous passage of historical, cultural and artistic events.

You’ll follow your local guide along the Appian Way and through the countryside, passing many old tombs, walls, baths and ruins. You’ll also enjoy a guided visit of the Catacombs of San Callisto and enjoy a cheese and wine aperitif on a picturesque farm in Caffarella Park.
