Ride the Appian Way by e-bike, passing ancient landmarks and countryside before venturing off the beaten path to the Park of the Aqueducts.
About this tour
Explore Rome beyond its grand avenues on a 12-mile e-bike ride along the Appian Way and through the surrounding countryside. With electric assistance on varied terrain, the route makes the journey accessible to riders across fitness levels, while a PhD archaeologist guide brings the landscape’s history into focus.
Starting near the Circus Maximus, ride past the Baths of Caracalla and the Circus of Maxentius, a setting used in the 1959 film Ben-Hur. Along the ancient road, discover imposing tombs built to display the status of Rome’s prominent families and hear how engineers created a remarkably straight route stretching for 50 kilometers. The ride also leaves the usual path to reach the Park of the Aqueducts, where monumental remains reveal the scale of Roman engineering. E-bikes, helmets, and headsets are provided, and a short practice session takes place before the tour begins.
Choose this Rome E-Bike Tour along the Appian Way for a lively way to connect ancient landmarks with open countryside. Get ready to ride, explore, and see a different side of the Eternal City.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 3 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 7.3. Top 35% in Rome means it ranks in the top 35% of tours in Rome by this score.
