Overview

This itinerary was created to introduce you to a magnificent road with many monuments that meet.

The park of Aqueduct is a tale of the history of water in Rome and related engineering works, in fact six ancient Roman aqueducts converge here.

You will ride a top-notch e-bike on a smooth 2,300-year-old meadow and relive the history of the great empire, crossing a unique landscape full of ancient footprints, imperial mansions, statues and tombs. A is a very emotional bike tour.
