Ancient Appian Way, Catacombs and Aqueducts Park Half-Day Tour with E-Bike

 

Pedal on the Ancient Appian Way, a 2300 year -old cobblestone Roman road while going past an ancient sepulchre, a Roman statue, the ruins of a circus and an imperial palace, the Christian catacombs and pagan mausoleums; then leave the Ancient Appian Way to head towards the park of the ancient Roman aqueducts rising over the fields on the horizon and follow them on your way back to the city center of Rome. Enjoy a ride through the Roman countryside that so well impressed 19th century travelers such as Byron, Goethe and Stendhal. Hear all there is to know about these surprising feats of engineering: the ancient thoroughfare connecting Rome and Brindisi, the monumental aqueducts criss-crossing the lush landscape, the imposing defensive walls – an enduring and outstanding proof of the ancient world power. Admire rural Italy just a few miles away from the urban hustle and bustle – and yet completely immersed in a combination of natural and man-made beauty. To warp the tour up, throw a glance over the impressive Thermal Baths of Caracalla before coming back to the point of departure. And all of this, on one of our quality electric-assist mountain bikes (or super -light carbon -frame mountain bikes, if preferred), so that your ride through this marvelous green area can be pure enjoyment and pleasure. An extraordinary tour of absolute beauty. A journey into a unique environment, in which miraculously intact nature, free from modernization, forms a backdrop to the continuous passage of historical, cultural and artistic events.
