Imagine cycling on the Via Appia Antica, one of the oldest and most historic roads in the world. Feel under the wheels the same stones that supported Roman chariots and pilgrims. The air smells of history, and the landscape transports you back in time.
Cycling along the Appian Way is like leafing through a living history book. Every kilometer traveled is a chapter to discover: monumental tombs, majestic aqueducts, ancient villas... Every stone tells a story, and you are the protagonist of this adventure.
But the real surprise awaits you underground. In the Roman Quarry of the Caffarella park, a labyrinth of hand-dug tunnels opens up to your eyes. It is a unique experience, a dive into the heart of underground Rome. Here, where pozzolana was extracted for centuries to build the city, you can cycle through the ancient tunnels, touch the walls dug by slaves and imagine the life of those who worked in these dark depths.
Whether you are a history enthusiast, a nature lover or simply an explorer, this tour is the perfect combination capable of offering you unique emotions. Leave the usual tourist itineraries and book now to immerse yourself in an authentic and evocative atmosphere.
