Itinerary
After checking in at the selected facility, your guide awaits you at the meeting point at 3.00 pm for presentations and a short briefing on how to correctly use the electric bike, which will be with you for the entire duration of the trip (even at night !!).
We then set off to discover the points of greatest interest in the center of Rome.
Cycling along the Tiber, the river that gave life to the city, you will reach Baroque Rome, with its elegant squares and its spectacular fountains, such as Piazza Navona, Piazza di Spagna, Trevi Fountain.
You will cross characteristic neighborhoods, photographing churches, statues and historic alleys, to experience the atmosphere and vitality of a city that never sleeps.
Today the oldest road in the world awaits you!
In fact, your destination will be the Via Appia Antica, a protected natural area of shocking beauty!
You will be immersed in greenery and surrounded by engineering works dating back to 300 BC.
After lunch we will return to the center to dedicate the afternoon to discovering the Vatican with a guided tour of the Vatican Museums. It is one of the largest art collections in the world, since it displays the enormous collection of works of art accumulated over the centuries by the popes. You will pass from Egyptian and Etruscan finds to paintings by great masters such as Raphael, up to contemporary art works by Matisse or Michelangelo.
When you visit a city as large as Rome there is nothing better than escaping the traffic of the main streets and immersing yourself in an oasis of peace like Villa Borghese!
In fact, this last day we will dedicate to getting to know the green areas of Rome with their historic villas, it will therefore also be the turn of Villa Ada, and to end on a high note you can visit the Crypt of the Capuchins or alternatively the very famous Coppedè district.
Upon returning from the tour at the meeting point (the same as on the first day), you will return the bikes, and you can collect your luggage here before saying goodbye.
