E-bike along the Appian Way’s aqueduct ruins, parks, and medieval tombs, with optional catacombs and lunch. Small group, 4–5 hours.
“We had a great day. This is a lot of biking and some of it takes some skill- navigating in traffic, down hill on tight dirt trails, and inavigating huge cobblestones. The stones on the Appian way are bigger than dinner plates with deep crevices between, Sometimes you can ride in the dirt along side but not always. It requires some quick stops and there lots of other bikers on the roads and trails that are not patient! Our guide Ava was very knowledgeable and took care of everyone, even a few that needed minor first aid! The description refers to a box lunch but actually was a delightful simple…”

“We picked this tour simply to have something to do one of our days of our holiday in Rome. I'm so glad we did! This was an amazing tour. The information on Hadrian and his amazing villa, along with the surprising Villa D'Esta (it looks like almost nothing from the entrance) kept us entranced. The luncheon provided was great as well!”
