Itinerario
Un'imponente porta meridionale alla città di Roma. La Porta di San Sebastiano, parte delle Mura Aureliane costruite intorno al 275 d.C., segna anche l’inizio della storica Via Appia Antica. Lasciati incantare dalla sua bellezza e scopri i numerosi graffiti medievali che testimoniano il flusso di pellegrini nel corso dei secoli.
Il Parco della Caffarella, oggi parte integrante del Parco Regionale dell’Appia Antica, è una delle aree verdi più grandi non solo di Roma ma anche d’Europa. È un tesoro ricco di storia nascosto tra i suoi sentieri e boschetti dove si possono vedere i resti di antichi edifici.
Lasciatevi incantare da questo luogo sacro che racconta la storia d’amore tra la Ninfa Egeria e il secondo Re di Roma Numa Pompilio, dove Egeria, appresa la morte del suo amato, scoppiò in lacrime dal dolore, dando vita a una sorgente.
Passeggiata attraverso questa immensa area verde attraversata in tempi antichi e ancora oggi visibile, dalla Via Latina, la strada più antica di Roma. Crocevia della rete idrica dell’Antica Roma, qui si può ammirare la grandiosità dell’ingegneria romana attraverso i resti di alcuni acquedotti in luoghi ben conservati, e sorprendentemente alcuni ancora in funzione.
Al quinto miglio della Via Appia si possono ammirare i resti della maestosa villa dei Quintili appartenuta ai fratelli Sesto Quintilio Condiano e Massimo Valerio, consoli nel II secolo d.C., uccisi da Commodo I che confiscò la villa rendendola proprietà imperiale.
Questo maestoso mausoleo è una tomba pagana dedicata a Cecilia Metella, risalente al I secolo a.C. Incorporato nel Castrum Caetani, rimane il mausoleo meglio conservato sulla via Appia Antica. Qui si possono apprezzare anche i resti della casa medievale della ricca famiglia Caetani e la chiesa di San Nicola di cui rimangono in piedi solo le mura perimetrali.
Situato sulla via Appia Antica, il Circo di Massenzio rappresenta il miglior esempio di circo romano sopravvissuto fino ai giorni nostri. Lasciatevi trasportare nel passato circondati dai resti dell’antica Roma. La spina, ancora visibile, ospitava l'obelisco Agonale, spostato durante il Rinascimento nella Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi in Piazza Navona.
Costruite dall'imperatore omonimo, le Terme di Caracalla sono state per circa un secolo le più grandi terme pubbliche mai costruite, e oggi si conserva gran parte della loro struttura. Un ramo dell'Aqua Marcia portava l'acqua alle terme attraverso l'acquedotto antoniniano. Piccoli resti si possono ammirare presso la Porta di San Sebastiano.

This e-bike tour of the Appian Way was one of the highlights of our trip to Rome. The well planned route took us through breathtaking scenery filled with history that we never would have experienced on our own.The bikes were easy to use and gave us enough power to easily make it up mountains and hills. Jeff was a great guide, making sure we were comfortable with our bikes, setting a perfect pace for us, explaining the historical context for what we were seeing, and engaging in conversation to adapt to our interests to enrich the experience . I highly recommend!
Glad to see you had an enjoyable time with us. We're glad you are satisfied with different aspects of the experience (scenery, bike, guide etc).
Our family is from Canada. We brought our two sons age 10 and 7 to Rome. Our first morning we had this bike tour booked. Our tour guide Chris was very knowledgable, passionate about history and art, kind and patient and thoughtful with our children. He left us time to ask questions and take pictures and stop and use public washrooms, fill our water bottles and have snacks along the way. This was one of the best experiences we have had as a family. Highly recommend doing this. We went during a heat wave of over 40c and the tour was in the morning and beat the hottest part of the day. Highly recommend this tour. And if Chris can be your guide you’ll be in the very best of hands!
Thank you so much for this kind, beautiful and lovely feedback. We are so happy that your family, specially the kids have had a great time with us, thanks to Chris Wish you all the best for the rest of your journey
What an unbelievably fantastic tour… seeing the outskirts of Rome, riding fantastic electric bikes, with a guide (Gio) who was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Rome could not have made this tour any better. We highly recommend spending a few hours away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
A wonderful way to see another part of Rome. Our guide Salah was fantastic. Highly recommend the experience.
My family of six, including two children 13 and 10, thoroughly enjoyed our private family tour with Alex as our guide. He ensured our safety and gave great tips along our tour. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the historical landmarks we passed along the way. It captured the attention of our whole party and made the tour very enjoyable. The scenery and places we were guided to were BEAUTIFUL! A very welcome day outside the city with country and open views. We hope to one day return and take the tour again to hear more of the historical stories he has to offer. Highly recommend this company and Alex as a tour guide. Grazie, Alex!
Dear Melina, We're delighted reading this kind nad beautiful feedback. Hope to see you again here for another memorable day
I am a 70 year old male , casual bicycle rider in relatively good physical condition; but have never used an electric power assisted bike. I arrived about 20 minutes before the scheduled 9:30AM departure. And I'm glad I had extra time for the shop guys to help me with a few tips on riding the bike. I got the hang of it quite easily and the power assist really is helpful in going up hill or just pushing you along the way. Some of the route is on relatively busy roads with regular traffic whizzing by quite close as it passes you. That can be unerving in the Roman traffic. Some of the route is on the original Roman Appia Way which surface is those large stones which are not easy to navigate. Most of the route is through park land and bike trails which is fine except if you encounter bicycles coming opposite way and if that part of the trail is narrow. We stopped a few times and the guide, Chris, did inform us of the interesting facts. But, a lot of time we just rode past somethings which I later learned would've inetrested me (for example, lots of old tomb stone remnants are along the roadway ) I asked a few times for additional stops. He did not outright refuse, instead asking me where we should do so . Having never been there I just replied anything of interest will be fine. A few minutes later , we happened upon a sheppard with his large flock of sheep right by the pathway . What a cool sight ! Chris did not stop to allow us the check it out, take pics ... Having never been to Rome, and not knowing the route , I had to follow along lest I get lost ! We we're booked for a 4 hour tour ; we finished about 45 minutes early so clearly we could've stopped at more locations. This guide verbalized opinions of politics , immigration etc .... which, in my view, really has no place in a tour of Roman antiquities.
Dear Sir, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We have carefully read your review and considered all the points you raised. However, we were unable to locate any recent reservation in our records for a private four-hour Appian Way tour with our guide Christian. We would appreciate any additional details you could provide to help us verify this. Please note that for group tours, the itinerary and scheduled stops are fixed, and unfortunately we are not able to make unscheduled stops along the route. Rome is incredibly rich in history, and while our tours aim to highlight many sites, it is not possible to include every location within a single experience. During our visit to the Baths of Caracalla, we provide historical context that also touches on broader themes such as politics and migration, which were integral to ancient Rome—a vast metropolitan city with over one million inhabitants. We value your feedback and thank you again for sharing your thoughts. Kind regards,
We booked a private tour for the Appian way with our two 9 year old kids. We received high grade electric bikes in perfect condition and the service was professional and welcoming. Our guide Alex was super, knowledgeable and gave us very interesting explanations on the history or Rome and Appian way. He was also very considerable and sensitive, as we had a bit slower paced so he adjusted to tour and the final outcome was nevertheless perfect. Highly recommended tour off the beaten road!
Thank you so much for this detailed feedback. We are so delighted to see you have had an amazing time with us. Wish you all the best
Alex was our guide and this was most definitely a 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ star experience! It was our family of 4 (inc 2 teenagers) and close friends of ours with 1 teenager. To me this was the most enjoyable activity/tour I took all week. The bike tour of the Appian Way was beautiful scenery; mini history lessons, and a fun and engaging tour guide. He ensured (both of) our families’ safety for 4 hours, and was delightful to get to know. The electric bikes were so fun and easy to use. If you are on the fence, definitely book this bike tour, and ask for Alex!
This was a memorable experience. The whole family, teens and adults, enjoyed the experience. Trevor was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Perfect way to see the Appian Way. Our tour guide, Alex, was beyond incredible, and if you can request him, DO IT.
