Ancient Appian Way e-bike Tour crosses the famous Parco dell’Appia Antica, an important biological corridor in Rome city centre, in a unique environment, in which an evocative nature frames this tour with a lot of history, culture, and art. This itinerary was created to introduce you to a magnificent road with many monuments that meet.
The park of Aqueduct is a tale of the history of water in Rome and related engineering works, in fact six ancient Roman aqueducts converge here.
You will ride a top-notch e-bike on a smooth 2,300-year-old meadow and relive the history of the great empire, crossing a unique landscape full of ancient footprints, imperial mansions, statues and tombs. A is a very emotional bike tour.

Ava was the BEST!!! She was knowledgeable, professional, kind, and courteous. She knew her stuff. We had such a blast riding through the Roman countryside seeing ancient ruins and hearing stories about how they came to be. We highly recommend this tour. Ask for Ava!!!

We greatly enjoyed our ebike tour through the Aurelian walls, past aqueducts, and down the Appian way. Our guide, Alex, was exceptional. As well as giving us biking instructions and making sure we were comfortable riding, he constantly checked in as we biked through the crowded streets. This tour was very active, involving a lot of biking, much of it through parks and uncrowded areas. Alex made a number of stops, and was excellent at providing context and significance for the antiquities we were seeing, information on Roman and medieval history, impacts on the sites, and anecdotes about the past. He was very entertaining, knowledgeable, and passionate about the places we were visiting. Riding on the Appian Way was a unique experience and you could not find a better guide than Alex. Highly recommended.

Once we had been allocated our helmets and bikes we were greeted by Ava who gave us a briefing and looked after us very well as the route is through some busy parts of Rome as well as good cycleways and the amazing Appian Way stopping to talk about some of the sights and history. A good coffee/cake stop before making our way back!

This bike ride was THE highlight of my 8 day trip to Rome. I’m an avid mountain biker and my girlfriend is an occasional bike commuter and we both enjoyed the experience. Ricardo was a superb guide, I appreciated his storytelling as well as management of our group in traffic and off the road. Overall this was way better than weaving through crowds to see things in Rome - instead we could enjoy ruins of the aqueduct under gorgeous blue skies. The catacombs (awesome!!!) was a more traditional tourist stop but nothing like the crowds of the city. FYI: The e-bikes (with suspension) make the riding accessible to all but this tour won’t be fun if you don’t like cycling. The route includes paved roads, cobblestone, and dirt, and is mostly flat with a few short hills.

Enjoyable and informative but if you haven’t been on a bike for a while perhaps choose the 4 hour trip.
