About this experience

Ready to ride for 12 miles on an eBike enjoying amazing landscapes and ruins of the roman countryside along the Appian way?

Uphills won't scare us as this tour is tailored on any accustomed rider regardless the fitness level. The eBike will constantly assist you on any surface and condition.

Different from most of the e-Bike tours of the Appian Way, we'll go off the beaten path and ride up to the Park of the Aqueducts, an incredible work of engineering whose remains are still imposing!

Starting from the Circus Maximus, biggest chariot race truck of ancient Rome capable of 250000 people, and the Bath of Caracalla for 1500 people, our bike tour will take us to the Circus of Maxentius location chosen for the Movie Ben Hur in 1959, to several illustrious tombs flanking the Appian Way and meant to show off the social status.

While riding, the guide will show you the secrets and the amazing technical skills to build a road perfectly straight for 50 km!
