Group tours require a minimum of 4 participants to commence. If this number is not met, an alternative date or a full refund will be offered.

Tours are capped at a maximum of 8 guests per guide to ensure an intimate and personalized experience. We prioritize keeping booking groups together and may occasionally add 1–2 extra guests. Tours may also run with fewer than six participants.

Approximately 90% of this tour takes place on the ancient Roman basolato (cobblestones) of the Appian Way (Via Appia Antica), with no vehicular traffic.

A minimum level of cycling experience is required. Please note that the Appian Way is paved with ancient Roman basoli (cobblestones), not asphalt, which requires competence to avoid falls. Only two brief crossings on roads open to light traffic are necessary (to access the Aqueduct and Caffarella Parks).

A short assessment test will be conducted before departure. The guide reserves the absolute right to deny admission to any participant deemed unsuitable due to lack of ability or health concerns. No refund will be issued in such cases.

Upon return, guests will have the option to stop and purchase food at a nearby self-service/cafeteria restaurant (tavola calda).

Infants (under 20 kg/44 lbs): Travel free of charge in a provided child seat.

Children (under 139 cm/4 ft 7 in): Must use a child extension (trailer or tag-along bike).

E-Bike Operation: Children must be at least 12 years old to operate their own E-Bike.

In the case of official/public celebrations and events in the center of the city of Rome, the tour operator can replace one or more of the highlights of the itinerary.
