ABOUT YOUR PRIVATE APPIAN WAY BIKE TOUR
Your three-hour tour starts at a central location in Rome where you will meet your private LivItaly guide and get acquainted with your easy-to-use electric bike. Enjoy a picturesque route out into the Roman countryside, riding past the Terme di Caracalle (Baths of Caracalla). These were once Rome’s second largest public baths and one of the most spectacular thermal springs built between the years 212 and 216. Further on, ride under archway doors and arrive at Via Appia Antica, Rome’s oldest highway! This remarkable ancient road was built in 312 BC, connecting Rome to Brindisi in the south of Italy. As you journey along Via Appia Antica, learn about its historical importance, all the difference ways it was used during the Roman Empire, and why it is the reason we say today “All roads lead to Rome.”

With your private LivItaly guide alongside, journey along this storied cobblestone path out in the countryside, learning its fascinating story and stopping along the way at its many incredible ancient historical sites. Get up close to the large basalt stones of volcanic rock used to build the original road and begin to imagine the many who traveled along this path between Rome and the south thousands of years ago. Discover why Via Appia Antica was also used as a funeral street, as you see many tombs and mausoleums along the way, stopping at the most famous of all, the well-preserved Mausoleo di Cecilia Metella (The Tomb of Caecilia Metella). Continue on, stopping outside the Church of Quo Vadis and learn the well-known parable of St Peter seeing Jesus here, inspiring him to return back to Rome instead of fleeing persecution.

The endless number of ancient landmarks and fascinating stories lining this path will be sure to amaze you! Stop along the way at San Callisto Private Park and San Sebastian Church, as your private guide tell you about the fascinating catacombs that lie beneath the ground. Stop at Villa di Massenzio and Circus of Maxentius, the second largest arena in Rome after Circus Maximus, and marvel at how beautifully preserved it is with much of its brickwork still in tact. Enjoy the freedom of riding your e-bike along Via Appia Antica, uncovering its endless treasures with ease along the way. As you ride further out, covering up to 4 miles of the 40-mile stretch, you will start to get a real sense of how long and important this road really was in building the Rome we know today!

SAN CALLISTO CATACOMBS
Along Via Appia Antica, after the Church of Quo Vadis, you will pass the San Callisto catacombs (Catacombe di San Callisto). These were founded in the 2nd century and became the official cemetery of the newly established Roman Church. As Christians of Rome didn’t have their own cemeteries, unless they had their own land, many buried family members here. The San Callisto catacombs are some of the oldest catacombs along Via Appia Antica, and a fascinating place to explore.

San Callisto catacombs are also some of the largest catacombs, with 12 miles of tunnels, some tunnels at 70 feet high! Not to mention that they house the remains of about half a million Christians, including 16 popes and many martyrs. Inside you will also see early Christian art, such as drawings and frescoes on the walls depicting early scenes from the bible, as well as Christian symbols like the dove. It is no surprise that these catacombs have become so popular amongst visitors, and while you are on Via Appia Antica, they are worth a visit!

Your three-hour tour comes to an end after exploring up to 4 miles of Via Appia Antica on your e-bike with your private guide. You will have seen so much and experienced another layer of ancient Rome in a fresh way. After the bike tour, make a full day of it and go back and visit some of the main sites on your own, like The San Callisto catacombs. Enjoy this unique experience, out of the hustle and bustle of Rome, out in the countryside amongst ancient Roman relics!
