  • Your Exclusive VIP Adventure: A dedicated expert local guide entirely at your service to explore the ancient Appian Way at your own personalized pace.
  • Subterranean Secrets: Experience the mystery of the ancient Catacombs of Rome with skip-the-line admission included.
  • Imperial Giants at Your Pedals: Glide effortlessly beneath the monumental ruins of the Aqueduct Park and centuries-old pines on a premium pedal-assist e-bike, in complete safety.

Picture yourself cruising along the legendary "Regina Viarum" in total privacy, immersed in the fragrant breeze of umbrella pines and far from the crowded city center. With this exclusive private Rome e-bike tour, you will uncover the timeless wonders of the ancient Appian Way (Via Appia Antica), the underground allure of the Catacombs of Rome, and the towering stone arches of the Aqueduct Park all enhanced by the undivided attention of an expert local guide dedicated entirely to your group.


How it works ?

The adventure begins at our meeting point along the historic Via Appia Antica, where your certified local guide welcomes you for an unhurried, meticulous preparation. Each guest is fitted with a latest-generation pedal-assist e-bike, custom-adjusted with saddle height tuning, a sanitized protective helmet, and a security lock. Before setting off, a concise briefing introduces the highlights of the itinerary, followed by a quick test ride to get immediately comfortable with the smooth electric boost, ensuring complete stability and control across every surface.

Once in the saddle, the ride unfolds within the intimacy of an authentic small group (strictly capped at 8 guests per guide)—the ideal formula for personalized assistance, relaxed pacing, and dedicated photo stops. The 17-kilometer (10.5-mile) circular route quickly enters a lush green corridor 90% protected from motorized traffic: the electric pedal-assist effortlessly absorbs the uneven ancient cobblestones along the legendary Appian Way (Via Appia Antica), guiding you toward the monumental stone arches of the Aqueduct Park, surrounded by the scents and serene sounds of the Roman countryside.

At the midpoint of the journey, the e-bikes are safely parked to begin the underground exploration: thanks to included skip-the-line admission, you will descend into the cool tuff-stone galleries of the famed Catacombs of Rome, escorted by an authorized archaeological guide through centuries-old crypts and early Christian symbols. After the subterranean visit, you will ride back through the untouched nature of the Caffarella Valley, returning to the starting point after approximately 3.5 hours—fully refreshed by the open air and with zero muscle strain on this unforgettable Rome e-bike tour.

  • Couples & Solo Travelers: Perfect for those seeking an authentic, scenic escape, pedaling at an unhurried pace past centuries-old cypresses, patrician mausoleums, and the restorative silence of the Roman countryside.
