The experience begins with a private shuttle from Circus Maximus, ensuring a smooth start to your journey. Upon arrival at the Catacombs, the guide will lead you through underground corridors and chambers, sharing stories of ancient burial rituals, early Christian history, and secret passages unknown to most visitors. This is a rare opportunity to explore one of Rome’s most fascinating historical sites without the crowds or logistical stress.
Once you hop on your e-bike, the tour continues along the Via Appia Antica, a road that has existed since Roman times. You will pedal past monumental tombs, centuries-old aqueducts, and golden fields, stopping at scenic points for photos and stories from your guide. The route weaves through Aqueduct Park, Tor Fiscale Park, and Caffarella Park, combining quiet paths, natural beauty, and Roman history. The e-bike’s assistance allows you to enjoy the ride comfortably while taking in the views, making the tour accessible to riders of different fitness levels.
Towards the end of the tour, you will return to the rental point by e-bike and board the shuttle back to Circus Maximus. This ensures a stress-free finish and lets you fully appreciate the experience without worrying about navigating traffic. Private tour options provide an even more tailored experience, with the guide focusing on your interests and allowing you to linger at favourite stops.
Viale Aventino serves as the central meeting point, easily accessible from most areas of Rome. The shuttle takes you directly to the gates of the Appia Antica, allowing you to begin the tour in comfort and with minimal waiting.
