We heard about this tour while on an e bike tour in Prague earlier this year. That recommendation did not disappoint. Our tour guide, Alessandro, was extremely knowledgeable and explained the points of interest along our route. We had great weather and no problems operating the e bikes. The included tour of the San Callisto catacombs was excellent. We had a blast riding along the Appian Way and enjoyed our time by the aqueducts. The included lunch was also excellent.

Join a guided tour in the underground maze of the St. Callixtus (or St. Sebastian) Catacombs.
