Why book this tour
This is Rome at its most timeless. The Appian Way Bike Tour takes you far from traffic and crowds, into the green archaeological heart of the Eternal City.
You’ll ride along one of the oldest roads in the world, pass ancient tombs, towering aqueducts and open fields where sheep still graze — guided at an easy, human pace.
What to expect
Ride the Queen of Roads
Built in 312 BC, the Via Appia Antica was once the main artery of the Roman Empire. Today it’s a protected park — peaceful, historic and perfect for cycling.
Countryside inside the city
Leaving the city walls behind, you’ll glide through the Parco dell’Appia Antica and the Park of the Aqueducts, where massive Roman engineering rises from open fields.
Effortless with e-bikes
Our e-bikes with extra-fat tires keep the ride smooth and enjoyable, even over ancient cobblestones or gentle hills. The route is easy–moderate and accessible to anyone with basic cycling skills.
By the end, you won’t just have seen Rome — you’ll have felt its oldest rhythm beneath your wheels.
An unforgettable ride through ancient Rome
This experience blends history, nature and movement into one flowing journey. You’re not hopping between monuments — you’re traveling through a living landscape shaped over millennia.
Along the way, your guide shares stories of emperors, engineers, travelers and everyday Romans, with time to stop, walk, take photos and simply enjoy the silence.
