Good to know

- The 4-h version of the tour DOES NOT include a guided visit of the Catacomb (it only passes near it).

- On Wednesdays, the route of the tour includes an unavoidable deviation. For this reason, the tour will last half an hour more (4.5 instead of 4 hours and 6,5 hours instead of 6 hours). The tour may also last 30 minutes more in the period January 25th - February 20th)

- E-bikes are available only for participants over 8 years old.
- Wearing a helmet while riding is mandatory on this tour.

- 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.
