Full description

Imagine cycling on the Via Appia Antica, one of the oldest and most historic roads in the world. Feel under the wheels the same stones that supported Roman chariots and pilgrims. The air smells of history, and the landscape transports you back in time. Cycling along the Appian Way is like leafing through a living history book. Every kilometer traveled is a chapter to discover: monumental tombs, majestic aqueducts, ancient villas... Every stone tells a story, and you are the protagonist of this adventure. But the real surprise awaits you underground. In the Roman Quarry of the Caffarella park, a labyrinth of hand-dug tunnels opens up to your eyes. It is a unique experience, a dive into the heart of underground Rome. Here, where pozzolana was extracted for centuries to build the city, you can cycle through the ancient tunnels, touch the walls dug by slaves and imagine the life of those who worked in these dark depths. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a nature lover or simply an explorer, this tour is the perfect combination capable of offering you unique emotions. Leave the usual tourist itineraries and book now to immerse yourself in an authentic and evocative atmosphere.

It's worth it!

We had a wonderful experience bicycling the Appian way and the Aqueduct park. The scheduling was easy because they picked us up from the city center and the biking was great because everyone could decide how hard they wanted to pedal. As a history teacher, I enjoyed the historical details provided along the trip. My 14 year old son enjoyed the day, and I enjoyed getting away from the tourist traps and heat of the city. Get a break by getting away from the stress of the city center.

Excellent tour with an excellent guide.

This was an excellent tour. Our guide was local and told us some fascinating things about growing up in this area, as well as the history of the ruins we saw. The caves/tunnels were super fascinating. It was cold down there so our guide took us there first to escape the heat wave temperatures outside. And we loved it. The bike ride was really impressive and we learned a lot about the history of the Aquaduct system and the Appian Way highway. Loved our guide. He was so kind.

Such a cool experience in beautiful scenery

Amazing tour with Alessio. We had a lot of fun and the itinerary is ideal to not only learn a lot about the area's history, but also experience the spectacular views of the Via Appia, the Aquaeducts and the catacombs / the network running underground in the old quarry. The bikes ran very smoothly and Alessio had so many great stories to tell and details to note along the way. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip!
