Here’s What’s Waiting For You:
Welcome to Lesser-Known Rome
Your journey begins with the Piaggio Ape Calessino, a vintage electric three-wheeler that adds charm to the experience. Depending on your selected departure time—morning or early afternoon—you’ll meet your expert guide and fellow explorers at a starting point along the Via Appia Antica. From here, you’ll set off to explore the historic Appian Way, a stone-paved road that’s less than 2 miles (3 km) from the Colosseum yet offers a peaceful escape from the typical tourist route. As you ride along, your guide will share captivating stories and historical insights, bringing to life the ancient figures and events tied to this famed Roman road.
Discover the Appian Way’s Treasures
A memorable stop is the Domine Quo Vadis Church, where Saint Peter is said to have encountered Jesus in a moment that changed history. A short ride further reveals the grandeur of Emperor Maxentius’ Villa and Circus, a site steeped in the luxury and power of Rome’s past. You’ll also encounter the Tomb of Cecilia Metella, a towering mausoleum from a noble family, and explore Quintili’s Villa, with its elegant baths and sprawling gardens that reflect ancient Roman opulence.
Uncover the Mysteries of the Catacombs
Descend into the mysterious catacombs, where the early Christian communities laid their loved ones to rest in an intricate underground network. Dimly lit passages and solemn tombs tell the story of ancient burial customs, while your guide’s insights transform this eerie experience into a deeper understanding of Rome’s spiritual heritage.
After the tour, take the opportunity to savor a meal at one of Rome’s authentic restaurants nearby, completing your experience with traditional flavors.
