Ride Rome’s ancient Appian Way past tombs and aqueducts, then explore the hand-dug tunnels of the Roman Quarry beneath Caffarella Park.
About this tour
Trade Rome’s busy streets for the ancient stones of the Appian Way, where monumental tombs, aqueducts, and old villas line a route steeped in history. On this Rome Appia Antica E-Bike Tour, pedal through a landscape that feels far removed from the modern city, with most of the ride following the original Roman paving.
Your route passes through the Aqueduct Park and the green spaces of Tor Fiscale and Caffarella, with just two short road crossings. The journey’s most unusual stop lies beneath Caffarella Park: enter the Roman Quarry and explore its hand-dug tunnels, where pozzolana was once extracted to help build the city. E-bikes, helmets, lights, and a guide-led route make it easier to take in the scenery and underground history along the way. A basic-intermediate level of bicycle riding experience is required, and the guide conducts a brief assessment before departure.
Discover a quieter, more unexpected side of Rome on this Rome Appia Antica E-Bike Tour, from open countryside to the city’s hidden underground labyrinth.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.96 from 54 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in Rome
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.4. Top 9% in Rome means it ranks in the top 9% of tours in Rome by this score.
