Only 3 km from the Colosseum, ancient Rome waits for you in complete privacy. Your dedicated guide meets you and your party alone, and you set off along the Via Appia Antica from the section closed to cars. No traffic, no crowds, no group to follow. The oldest road in Rome is all yours.
Here two worlds meet: the golden fields of the Roman countryside, where local shepherds still walk their flocks, and the monumental tombs and ruins of ancient Rome lining the road. On a private tour, you choose when to stop and when to simply enjoy the silence.
With every kilometre the city fades, until you reach the calm of the Parco degli Acquedotti. The imposing arches of the aqueducts rise above the park, proof of how advanced Roman engineering was. Under centuries-old trees, your guide shares their stories at your pace.
The final chapter takes you underground: the Catacombs add a note of mystery and close your private ride in an unforgettable way. Reserve your date, and the Appian Way is yours.
