Overview

Ride along one of Rome's most impressive ancient roads with a bicycle tour on the Appian Way. Built in the 5th century BC and running for 330 miles (530 km) across southern Italy, this route takes you through historic ruins of Roman civilization, including temples, catacombs, and even an aqueduct.

Meet your guide at Largo di Torre Argentina, an ancient square surrounded by temples that date back to the Roman Republic, and set off to discover the ingenuity of the ancient engineering around the city. The Appian Way leads you out past ruined monuments, 2 Christian catacombs, and the church that marks the site where Saint Peter had a vision of Christ.

Really cool tour. E-bike was very useful for me. It's not very hilly, but the terrain is so rough, it was actually a little hard to steer and pedal at the same time, so the electric bike kept my forward momentum. Our guide was very knowledgeable, but it got uncomfortable when his rhetoric slid into antisemitic territory. It was also a very long tour. We had several breaks for water, but we didn't have snacks, which I would recommend. Great way to cover a lot of historic ground.

Martin is a very great tour guide. Very knowledgeable in the realm of arts and history. The tour itself is breathtaking. From majestic views of the aqueducts to the Appian ruins along the ancient trail makes the experience immersive. It’s unfortunate that the catacombs were closed that day. But the rest of the experience is really worth it. Definitely will do it again in the future! We started late due to some minor miscommunication, but the operator patiently waited for us.

Mario and Maurizio are amazing and rally kind ! The tour was a great value and we had a really good moment ! We got upgraded to electric bikes and had the chance to choose a typical tour instead of a classic monument tour and it was really worth it ! I recommend theses guys a lot !

The scenery was great and we did enjoy the trip for the most part. We do have issues as to how the trip is described on La Vacanza Travel. The 20 mile distance was not disclosed nor that they were e-bikes and we would be charged an extra 15 for our bikes. And you should disclose that you will riding up rocky hills.

Our tour guide was excellent and we were lucky to have a tiny group - just my family and the host. But the bike hire part was disappointing: the bikes were poorly maintained. This is a generous, long tour, so having good bikes matters.
