Guidekin's take

An e-bike ride through the Appian Way park to the park of the aqueducts, where six ancient water channels converge, with a catacombs visit and lunch or an aperitivo on the longer tier.

E-bike, helmet, phone holder and child seats are included at €69 per person, tips are not. You must ride well, and there is a weight limit.

In our comparison: #21 of 46 in Catacombs & Underground Rome, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
