About this experience
Do you want to combine physical activity with a naturalistic and historical excursion? This is the experience for you! We will do an urban fitwalk of about 11/12 kilometers going up the Claudio Aqueduct, from Pigneto to Cinecittà. A journey through the thousand stories of Rome, the ancient ones and the more modern ones.
We will leave early in the morning, to admire the Eternal City when it gets up!
We will go at a brisk pace, but we will not rush and I will always adapt to the needs of the guests.
At the end of the fitwalking we will take the Metro A to return to the starting point.
At the end of the walk we have breakfast together!
