Guide tips
Itinerary
Meet your guide on Via dei SS. Quattro
Meet your guide on Via dei SS. Quattro, just steps from the Colosseum. Get fitted with your e-bike and helmet, go over a quick safety briefing, and then pedal out of Rome’s historic center.
Ride through Porta San Sebastiano onto the Appian Way
Follow your guide through local streets to Porta San Sebastiano, one of the best-preserved gates in Rome’s ancient Aurelian Walls. Pass beneath its arches, leave the city traffic behind, and glide onto the stone-paved roads of the Appian Way.
Cycle the Appian Way and countryside landmarks
Settle into a comfortable pace along the Appian Way as fields, cypress trees, and crumbling ruins line the road. Your guide points out ancient villas, mausoleums, and milestones, explaining how this strategic route once carried armies, merchants, and pilgrims in and out of Rome.
Explore Ninfeo di Egeria and Tomb of Cecilia Metella
Ride to a leafy stretch of the Appian Way where the ruins of the Ninfeo di Egeria sit beside a natural spring. Then pause at the round Tomb of Cecilia Metella, a towering stone mausoleum, while your guide explains who she was and why this monument still dominates the ancient road.
Descend into the Catacombs of Saint Callixtus
Park your bikes and follow your guide down into the Catacombs of Saint Callixtus, one of Rome’s largest underground burial sites. Walk through dim, narrow tunnels lined with tombs and frescoes while you hear how early Christians worshipped and buried their dead beneath the Appian Way.
Lunch beneath the aqueducts in Parco degli Acquedotti
Ride into Parco degli Acquedotti, where towering stone arches cross open fields and paths. Take a break for a tipycal italian lunch, enjoying local flavors while your guide explains how these ancient aqueducts once carried water into everyday life in Rome.
Your tour finishes at Via dei SS. Quattro
Follow your guide back toward the city, passing sights like Parco della Caffarella and the Baths of Caracalla as the Colosseum comes into view again. The ride ends where it began on Via dei SS. Quattro.
