Circus Maximus

An ideal place to start an appian way bike tour since it is easy to get to and avoids having to cycle through the city to reach the Appian Way.

Aurelian Walls

the ancient roman walls are still pretty sturdy and cycling past them we can get a glimpse of the walls and the roman gate.

Catacombs of Saint Callixtus

Visit the oldest site of christian worship in Rome, where the first christian community would take root and bury their dead up until the 3rd century...ALL UNDERGROUND!

Ancient roman road which is the easiest way out into the countryside from Rome.

Parco Regionale dell'Appia Antica

This park is filled with ancient roman ruins: roman villas, aqueducts and roads. The amazing thing is that its just a stones throw from the city, not out in the countryside as far from civilization as it seems! Enjoy a wide view over the park from a little hill.

Visit this park to see the remains of the the Roman Aquaducts Claudius and Marcia. Also the renaissance aquaduct Felix

It is all about Richard!!! He is an amazing guide, and a fantastic person. My family (wife plus 8 and 10 year olds) loved the experience. Great information, pace, safety, and fun. We had some interaction with the owner. He rubbed us wrong in dealing with an equipment issue. But, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend the experience if you get Richard. Just make sure you are comfortable with your bike and it is working well at the start.

This was an awesome thing to do. Our guide was great. She was attentive to our group. She even offered to take pictures of us along the way. This was an experience we will always remember. The picnic was okay. I would have appreciated it to be a little more comfortable with seating but it was good. Thanks so much for treating us all to this experience we will never forget.

We booked the E-bike tour via the Red Bicycle website directly and it worked fine. We showed up and was quickly geared up with our Ebikes. Richard, our guide, was lighhearted and made the experience enjoyable. The ride itself was beautiful and serene. The lunch/picnic was really tasty and amount of food just enough to get you through the end of the trip (~2pm). Would highly recommend this tour if you want to see the country side!

You will absolutely LOVE this bike ride. If you can ride a bike, you can do this tour. My family LOVED this tour as we biked through the Appia Antica and the surrounding parks. Beautiful. You will never see Rome like this without going on this tour.

This was the tour I had been waiting to do and I was not disappointed. The journey takes you through the most wonderful scenery and you immediately feel like you’re going through time as you head beyond the gates of Rome. Our guide, Iman, was brilliant- he is studying Classics at University and his passion and knowledge was beyond my expectations. He ooozes love for the ancient Roman world and it’s infectious. We are on the last leg of a 5 week holiday in Europe and this has been the highlight for me. The e-bike is super easy - and I just had knee surgery 6 mths ago. Loved the bike so much that I might buy one when I get home. The roads get bumpy but your on an ancient road so it’s expected and it is part of the adventure. Wear comfy clothes and extra padding 😉 The catacombs were a bonus. To Iman - thank you for the most amazing experience and for making my dream to ride the Appian Way come true. Your kindness and knowledge about the aqueducts and ancient Roman history will always make me smile. We had such a wonderful day with you that we will never forget 🙏🤗 Katie and Andrew - Australia.

Best thing I did in Rome!!we biked 23km on the e-bikes effortlessly and saw the most amazing sights! I would do it again and again.

We had a great day on our e-bike tour. Glenn is a personable and fun guide. It was rainy, but we didn't let it keep us from having a fun trip. I'm recommending this exact trip to some friends who are going to Rome in a few months! It was nice to get out of the crowds of Rome for a few hours. I highly recommend.

We had a wonderful day cycling the Appian Way. It was surprising to encounter green space so close to the center of Rome. The guide was very safety conscious and had interesting facts about the sites we passed. We enjoyed the picnic lunch and the small group size. I would highly recommend the tour.

A great outdoor experience for my 10 year old (who loves bike riding) that still offered some history not in a crowded museum. Amazing scenery, great lunch, and our hosts/guides were super nice. Just don’t be late or you will miss the Catacombs. We still enjoyed our time and had an unforgettable last day of the year!

Steve_M

Worth every euro!!!! Excellent value!!! Unique scenery amd got to seenparts if Rome weve never seen before. Ricardo was our guide and very knowledgable and very aware of everyones ability. This was a 12 mile route and very doable for most ability. There was only one small hill, but with the ebike it was very easy. Everything else was flat or little rolling hills. This really was EASY. We pssed scenery i dont think you would see any other way in Rome. Catacombs (tickets included), Appean way, huge park and aquaducts. We even saw a few farms. The stop for lunch was at a restaurant at a tennis club and was private and very good!!! There were 4 adults in our group and we all thought this was a highlight of our trip and worth the price. Highly recommend!!!!!
