Description
Why waste time and energy cycling through Rome’s dangerous city traffic? We are the only tour offering a private 9-seater shuttle transfer from Circus Maximus, whisking you away from the city chaos directly to the heart of the Appian Way Park. By skipping the initial paved sections open to cars, you save 5km of stressful riding and focus only on the 15km of pure, ancient beauty.
Our experience is masterfully designed around the seasons. To beat the heat, we strategically schedule the Catacombs underground visit during the warmest hours of the day—whether you choose a morning or afternoon departure. This ensures you stay cool and energized for the rest of your ride. Riding on ancient "sampietrini" (cobblestones) requires a basic level of cycling balance, but our premium e-bikes and born-and-bred Roman guides make the journey smooth and safe for everyone. This is the ultimate "transfer + bike" combo: less pedaling, more exploring, and total comfort from start to finish. Available in English, French, Spanish, and Italian for small groups or private elite experiences.
