This is a full day tour that takes place in the North of Lazio and the Southern tip of Umbria. After about an hour's journey by train we will proceed by bike along the Tiber Valley in the Nature Reserve of Alviano and then go all the way up (it's a rather long uphill slope, but the few stretches where it's tough are not too long..... and it's definitely worth it) to delightful Civita di Bagnoregio. This is what's known as "the dying town". It is one of the most beautiful medieval villages in Italy and it sits atop a plateau of rock that is connected to the rest of the world by just a narrow bridge which can be crossed on foot or by bike.

And lastly we will visit Orvieto, a city that is famous not just for its impressive cathedral but in general for its all-Italian beauty and mysterious charm. ...an amalgam of natural, artistic and historical beauty and breathtaking landscapes.

Coming along with us on the Rome Afternoon tour you discover many of the main highlights of the Eternal City, but also parts that are just known by the Romans themselves and that hide beauties and legends you would not easily discover going around on your own. Narrow alleys with little shops, local people chatting with each other on their favourite squares and gardens, archeological remains and beautiful panoramic views.

Pedal on the Ancient Appian Way, a 2300-year-old cobblestone Roman road while going past ancient Roman ruins, statues, an imperial palace, Christian catacombs and pagan mausoleums. Then leave the "Regina Viarum" to cycle towards the Roman aqueducts rising over the fields on the horizon and follow them on their way back to the center of Rome.

Leave the bustling city center of Rome behind and enjoy a bike ride through the Roman countryside, which inspired 19th-century travellers such as Byron, Goethe and Stendhal. On this extraordinary bicycle tour of absolute beauty we take you on a journey through a unique landscape where nature, farmlands and ancient history meet.

Please note that approximately 40% of the route of this tour takes place in the city. We ride carefully chosen city streets, but some traffic is unavoidable to connect the Ancient Appian Way Park to the Aqueducts Park. In the remaining 60% of the route (riding in the parks) we encounter no traffic.
