About this activity

Escape Rome's crowded centre on a guided e-bike tour along the Appian Way, gliding past ancient aqueducts, early Christian catacombs, and the verdant Appian Antica Regional Park. This 4.5-hour route combines Roman engineering marvels with peaceful countryside, accessible to riders of all fitness levels thanks to electric assist.

Swap the hustle and bustle of the big city for a day in the countryside in this fantastic 3-hour or 5-hour electric bike tour. Your guide will be waiting for you at Lungotevere delle Armi 44, where this wonderful adventure will begin.

Your route is Via Appia Antica (Appian Way), one of the most important access roads of the city of the Roman Empire. You can follow your guide through imposing aqueducts, including landmarks such as the Catacombs of San Callisto, and will also cross the Regional Park of Appia Antica.

You have the option to take a 3-hour tour by electric or manual bicycle, or can instead opt to choose the 5-hour tour which also includes a visit to the Catacombs of San Callisto or San Sebastiano.

ATTENTION: On request we provide FREE Baby Seats up to 20 kg, while it is possible to ride our e-bikes with a minimum height of 140 cm.

Insider tips

  • ★Book the 5-hour option to include catacomb visits—the underground early Christian burial sites are the tour's highlight and warrant the extra time
  • ★E-bikes flatten the experience; even inexperienced cyclists can keep pace, so focus on your guide's history rather than physical exertion
  • ★Wear sunscreen and bring water; much of the route is open countryside with limited shade
  • ★Arrive at Lungotevere delle Armi 44 (riverside meeting point) 10–15 minutes early to collect your bike and helmet
