Overview

Not many places in Rome are off the beaten track so we’re going underground to witness the wonders of the Ancient Appian way.

This tour takes you through the Ancient Appian Way Regional Park, one of the largest urban protected areas in Europe. You will be immerse in the history of the Ancient Appian Way, a 4th century BC roman road, over 500km long that connected Rome to Brindisi, south of Italy.

A very much deserved break next to the Appian Way awaits you to enjoy a tasty Lunch in the morning tour or aperitif near the Aqueducts Park in the afternoon.
