About this tour

Trade Rome’s busy center for the open landscapes of the ancient Appian Way on a quality e-bike built for the ride. This Rome Appian Way, Catacombs and Aqueducts E-Bike Tour covers about 17 miles (27 km), linking historic roads and countryside scenery with the striking remains of the Aqueducts Park.

Ride with a local expert guide along a carefully planned route. Around 60% of the journey is off-road through the parks, while the city sections use selected streets where some traffic is unavoidable. The intermediate ride suits travelers with moderate fitness and confidence on a bike. Choose the 6-hour version for a guided Catacombs visit; the shorter version does not include it. A helmet, front bag, biodegradable water bottle and anti-puncture e-bike are provided, with child seating options available for eligible ages.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.99 from 1,022 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 9.7. Top 1% in Rome means it ranks in the top 1% of tours in Rome by this score.
