Rome
History and energy. The two words that we would use to best describe Rome. It has such a unique feel to it, that there are countless ways to have a perfect day in Rome. This would be one place where we would definitely spring for a tour or two, since getting the full story from a trained guide can make all the difference. It is a place where you must carefully plan your time, since there are amazing restaurants, neighborhoods, and experiences to be had; but a visitor with limited time can easily be stuck waiting in long lines, or succumb to intense hunger by grabbing a bite at a place that is perhaps a little too touristy, overpriced, or just not authentic. Rome has always been one of our favorite cities in the world. It is a walkable city that exudes so much history that locals are almost blasé to the thousands of years of ruins around every corner. It is also a city that has reinvented itself over and over again, and seeing it come into the 21st century is such a treat.
There is so much of Rome to see. But if you’re like us, sometimes you need a break from the fast-paced city.
Enter a bike tour to the Appian Way. We can’t imagine any other way to see it!
We met at 10:30 in the morning for a lengthy day of biking. Once we got outfitted with our bikes, helmets, and rain ponchos (which were thankfully never needed!), we were off to see the catacombs, Appian Way, and aqueducts!
