Ride Rome’s ancient Appian Way by e-bike, passing historic landmarks with a local guide on a small-group or private tour.
About this tour
Trade Rome’s busy streets for an electric-bike ride along the Appian Way, the ancient road that once connected the capital with southern Italy. This three-hour Rome E-Bike Tour of the Appian Way begins near Circus Maximus, with views toward Palatine Hill, before heading past the Baths of Caracalla and out onto the historic route, built in 312 BC.
Ride through the Appian Way and Park with a professional local guide, passing landmarks that include Porta San Sebastiano, Villa di Massenzio, the Temple of Romulus, and Villa dei Quintilii. Along the way, hear about the mausoleums, churches, aqueducts, and catacombs that shape this landscape. The electric bike helps with pedaling, while the small-group option keeps the ride intimate, with no more than six guests. Prefer to set your own pace? A private tour is also available.
Choose the Rome E-Bike Tour of the Appian Way for a refreshing perspective on the city’s ancient history. Meet your guide outside the Easy E-Bike rental area and set off to explore beyond the usual city sights.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.99 from 182 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 9.3. Top 2% in Rome means it ranks in the top 2% of tours in Rome by this score.
