Rome: E-Bike Tour of Appia Antica, Aqueducts, and Caffarella

4. Rome: E-Bike Tour of Appia Antica, Aqueducts, and Caffarella

When the Italian economic miracle ignited during the '50s, owing to the funds of the Marshall Plan and the creativity of its citizens, a large part of the country's historical, archaeological and environmental heritage became endangered and at risk of extinction, progress, modernity, and economic growth. In the case of Rome, the greatest threat came from the housing industry that was gulping down the countryside around the city's center at impressive speed. If it were not for the obstinate determination of one man, Antonio Cederna, a great Italian archaeologist, urbanist, journalist, and politician, who made it his life's mission to preserve it from uncontrolled building speculation and waged a personal war on the potent housing industry of his time, the Appia Antica, the first highway ever to be built, would be no more. Thanks to this great man, to whom the Appia Antica Archaeological Park is dedicated, we can still admire the unique beauty and the great treasures of Europe's first highway, which led from Rome to Brindisi and whose construction began in 312 BC by the Roman Censor Appius Claudius Caecus. Our electric bike tour will begin from our company's venue, situated in front of the Circus Maximus, the largest Stadium ever to be built, that could hold 300.000 spectators for the chariot races held in it. On the way to the Ancient Appian, we'll visit more "modern" places, like the Garden of Oranges and the Cavalieri di Malta Square, view the majestic Caracalla Baths, a suitable introduction to the Roman water system, a topic that'll be thoroughly covered once the tour reaches the Aqueducts Park and from there on to Porta San Sebastiano, where our guests will familiarize with the fortification of Rome and the Aurelian Walls. Along the way, we'll ride past incredible places such as the Church of Quo Vadis, the Catacombs of Saint Callistus, the Residence of Maxentius, the Tomb of Cecilia Metella, the Tumulus of the Curiazi, and Villa Dei Quintili, all of which are concentrated in the first few miles of Via Appia Antica and which will be explained by our knowledgeable tour guides. Our cross-country archaeological e-bike ride will then proceed to the breathtaking scenery of the ancient Roman Aqueducts, which supplied the city with an unsurpassed amount of water, and then, following the Almone River down into the Caffarella Valley, where you can encounter horses, sheep, goats, and pigs, literally at a stone's throw from the city's center. Finally, the grace of the Nymphaeum of Egeria, which presumably belonged to Herodes Atticus's villa, in the vicinity. The tour is a unique combination of sightseeing, naturalistic and archaeological tourism, and cross-country e-bike riding. Our company-owned fleet of state-of-the-art, quality electric bikes completes the puzzle of a genuinely sustainable and environment-friendly experience that will most certainly be the highlight of your visit to Rome.

After a quick look inside, cycle along the riverside through Trastevere and over onto the other side of the Tiber River, passing by the square of Campo di Fiori, once a site of executions.

We had a spectacular day with Alessio on our E-bike tour. Alessio went above and beyond with his time and knowledge of the city and surrounding areas. We were able to see so much more of the city than we thought was possible on a 5-hour bike tour. Alessio was a very generous, knowledgeable and welcoming guide who personalises the experience to the group he is with. We saw a great mix of interesting sites and historical locations. We ticked off so much from our Rome bucketlist like the keyhole view of St Peters Basillica, the Baths of Caracalla, the Aquaduct park, the Appian Way and the Mouth of Truth. If you are staying in Rome for a short amount of time, this is the perfect experience - you learn and see so much of the city and the surrounding areas. The bikes were comfortable and easy to use - a perfect break after lots of walking. Thank you Alessio for a great day!

What a great way to see the city and paths less traveled by most tourists. The ride was easy and can be done by anyone who can at least ride a bike. The guide was amazing, fun, smart, and extremely knowledgeable about the history and locations we went. I could not recommend this more highly and my wife today said - that’s been my favorite “tour” we have done, I Loved it!!

MARIO is awesome. Very attentive, he knows Rome like the back of his hand and allowed us to discover unusual places. We had a sensational day. He knows many anecdotes and knows how to interest everyone from the youngest to the oldest. His bikes are super comfortable!! I recommend it 100%

Excellent, best thing about our trip to Rome! Our guide Martin was excellent and full of knowledge. A must do trip to discover parts of Rome you would never see.

Mario was a delight to be with and so knowledgeable. We already booked a second tour!
