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!
