E-Bike Appian Way: Aqueducts & Cecilia Metella Mausoleum VR

Strategic Start: Maximum Exploration, Almost No Traffic

Start your adventure by saving time and effort. Our strategic departure directly from the historic Appian Way (Via Appia Antica) eliminates the long and tiring E-Bike ride through central Rome traffic. This ensures a safer, optimized experience focused exclusively on the history, ruins, and nature of the archaeological parks.

After collecting your E-Bike, your expert local guide will lead you along the millenary Regina Viarum (Appian Way), lined with ancient tombs and majestic umbrella pines.

E-Bike Tour Highlights:

Aqueduct Park: Witness Roman engineering up close by observing the impressive Aqua Claudia and the monumental arches that dominate the landscape.

Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella: VR Time Travel (Included): The tour's climax! Visit the Mausoleum, the Appia's signature monument, and use a Virtual Reality (VR) viewer. You will relive the Mausoleum and the Caetani Castle as they appeared 2,000 years ago, providing an unparalleled historical perspective.

Roman Countryside: Enjoy the serenity of the historic parks (such as Caffarella and Tor Fiscale). Cycling through the Roman Countryside offers a breathtaking contrast to the city's hustle.

A unique adventure combining effortless exercise, ancient history, and innovative technology, designed for your maximum comfort and safety.

Optional Lunch: Upon return, guests have the option to stop and purchase food at a nearby self-service restaurant (tavola calda).
