Ride Rome’s ancient Appian Way, admire monumental aqueducts, and explore Cecilia Metella’s mausoleum through an immersive VR experience.

About this tour

Leave Rome’s busy streets behind and follow the ancient Appian Way through a landscape of Roman history and open countryside. This 210-minute Rome E-Bike Tour of the Appian Way and Aqueducts begins near the historic road, where a local guide leads you along its timeworn cobblestones on a pedal-assisted bike. About 90% of the route follows the ancient basolato, so the ride rewards steady cycling and a sure hand.

Pause beneath the towering arches of the Acquedotto Claudio in Aqueduct Park, a striking reminder of Roman engineering. The journey continues to the Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella, where an included ticket and immersive VR experience reveal how the monument and nearby Caetani Castle may have looked 2,000 years ago. A helmet and rain poncho are provided, and the small group setting keeps the ride personal, with up to 8 guests per guide.

Choose this Rome E-Bike Tour of the Appian Way and Aqueducts for a memorable blend of history, scenery, and technology. Book your ride and see the ancient city from a quieter, more open perspective.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 9 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 7.6. Top 21% in Rome means it ranks in the top 21% of tours in Rome by this score.
