This cycling tour in Rome follows a route through the city's ancient outskirts and parks, lasting between four and six hours depending on the chosen option. Riders leave the city center by passing through Porta San Sebastiano, part of the 3rd century Aurelian Walls. The ride continues along the Appian Way, a historic Roman road now preserved within a park setting. In the four-hour tour, participants pause briefly at the Catacombs of San Callisto to view the burial site of many early Christians; this stop is not included on Wednesdays. The six-hour tour includes a 45-minute guided visit inside the catacombs, which shifts to the Catacombs of San Sebastiano on Wednesdays. Other stops include the Circus of Maxentius, the Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella, and the Aqueducts Park, where the remains of Rome’s ancient water supply system are visible. The six-hour tour adds visits to the Villa dei Quintili and the Baths of Caracalla. The trip is conducted on high-quality e-bikes equipped with anti-puncture tires and helmets are mandatory. A local guide accompanies the group throughout. Front bags and biodegradable water bottles are provided. The route covers about 17 miles (27 km), with roughly 60 percent off-road on paths in the parks. Although some city streets are used, traffic is limited and the tour route is chosen for safety. Food and drinks are not included, but there are chances to buy refreshments along the way.
