Not many places in Rome are off the beaten track so we’re going underground to witness the wonders of the Ancient Appian way.

Experience the epitome of Rome as you ride our professional electric bikes through the lush meadows and captivating archaeological sites of the Ancient Appian Way, like the Regional Park!

Descend 40 feet through a Roman quarry and uncover a story that has remained hidden for centuries. We will tell you a story which has remained untold for a long time. Quiet yet fascinating galleries which once hosted ancient roman catacombs were later turned into air raid shelters during the World War ll.

The catacombs of San Callisto are part of the so-called Callistian complex, an area of about 30 hectares between the Via Appia Antica, the Via Ardeatina and the Via delle Sette Chiese, in Rome, which houses various funerary areas and catacombs
