Appian Way Aqueducts PRIVATE eBike Tour with Catacombs and Lunch/Aperitif

Step into the depths of ancient history on this immersive journey through the Catacombs of St. Callixtus and the storied Appian Way. Begin with a guided visit to the Catacombs, one of the most important Christian burial sites in Rome, located within the expansive Callistian complex. Dating back to the late 2nd century, these catacombs served as the official cemetery of the early Church. As you descend into the underground chambers, you'll explore a network of tunnels that once housed the tombs of martyrs, popes, and early Christians—bearing silent witness to centuries of faith and perseverance. The site is named after Callistus I, who played a pivotal role in managing and expanding the cemetery during his time as deacon and later as pope.

The tour continues with a captivating ride along the Ancient Appian Way, one of Rome's oldest and most fascinating roads. This e-bike adventure offers a unique and sustainable way to experience the serene beauty of the Appian Way Regional Park, where time seems to stand still. You'll cycle past remarkable landmarks like the Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella and the Circus of Maxentius, all while learning the stories hidden within this once-military route. Midway through your journey, take a tranquil break in the enchanting Holy Wood, where you'll enjoy a delightful Roman-style brunch or aperitif, depending on the time of day. As you rest, hear the romantic legend of Egeria and Numa Pompilius, adding a mythic touch to this rich cultural and historical experience.
