Riding through the Appian Way on our eBikes was a captivating experience, allowing us to appreciate the grandeur of ancient aqueducts and the serenity of the catacombs. One of the highlights was pausing for a delightful Roman lunch, which perfectly complemented the day’s exploration. While the pace was enjoyable, we felt that a bit more time at the catacombs would have enriched our understanding of their history.

Exploring the ancient roads on eBikes was a fantastic way for our group to uncover fascinating sights, like the stunning aqueducts that felt frozen in time. Cycling through the countryside, we enjoyed the thrill of navigating the historic paths while learning about the local catacombs. The lunch experience was delicious and offered a nice pause amidst the adventure, although we wished the meal could have included a bit more variety. Overall, we came away with wonderful memories and a deeper appreciation for the history that surrounded us, even if a few sections of the route were a bit bumpy.
