Appian Cycling Tour
by Red Bicycle ToursThe ancient Appian Way, built in 312 BC, is one of Rome's most famous roads, and a bicycle is a great way to explore it.

Ride out to the catacomb burial tombs, past luxurious homes, and out to the aqueducts, built centuries ago. On your way back into Rome, you'll see an old vatican outpost, the Spring of Santa Egeria, and ride through the Cafarella Valley. This tour departs from in front of the Colosseum at 2pm daily except Wednesday. Tour lasts 4 hours (3 hours of riding and 1 hour at the catacombs). All in all, you'll cycle a distance of 25 kilometres. Tickets to the catacombs not included in the price. This ride is rated medium for difficulty.

Castelli Romani Lake Cycling Tour
by Red Bicycle ToursThis three-day tour will show you some of the charming countryside and quaint towns beyond Rome's gates. Ride along the ancient Appian Way and along the river towards Santa Marie delle Mole and Castle Gandolfo, a small town that boasts stunning views of Lake Albano. This is where the pope spends his summers—and where you will spend your first night. On Day Two, your group will make its way to Albano, a lake nestled in a volcanic crater. Ride along the crater's rim to find Ariccia, a town known for its porcetta, and then proceed to Nemi, another small but welcoming settlement. Then you'll ride back to Rome and through scenic Rocca di Papa before settling in at a bed and breakfast in the Vatican City for the night. This trip departs Friday afternoons. Price includes bicycle, guide, support vehicle, accommodations and breakfast. Meals other than breakfast are not included. This trip covers 100 kilometres and has some big hill climbs, so is only suitable for experienced riders.
