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.

Our tour was with Alex at Roma Star Bike. He was excellent at keeping our group together while navigating Rome traffic. Alex is a terrific guide and storyteller, and is very invested in sharing history. Very knowledgeable and easygoing. Exceeded our expectations - so much more than a bike ride.
Great Tour, Awesome Guide!

Great day getting out of the city, enjoying some exercise, and seeing some amazing historical sites. Mara, our guide for the day, made it even better. She gave every person in the group personal attention, and constantly monitored our safety, comfort, and made sure we were all having fun and learning the history of everything we saw including the arch into the city, the building and history of the Appian Way, the aqueduct, and many sites in between. We took quite a few breaks with access to the water and bathrooms. The crypt tour was also stellar. Highly recommend this tour AND Mara is the BEST.
Lovely way to see the Roman countryside

This was the best tour we have ever taken in all our years of travel. Alex was an incredible guide, the perfect combination of knowledgeable, energetic, funny and kind. He has such a passion for Rome and it is contagious! The bikes were in perfect condition and easy to ride. We signed up for a semi-private tour which took us to the Catacombs, The Appian Way and the Aqueduct Park, learning through Alex's storytelling throughout the 5 hour ride. Navigating the city traffic and a variety of different terrains is best saved for those who are comfortable riding a bike. If that is you..take this tour, you'll be so glad you did!
