Why Choose It?
- Journey down the Appian Way, immersed in its picturesque landscape.
- Marvel at the enduring structures standing just off its path.
- Explore the monumental remains of thePark of the Aqueducts.
Tour Description
Take a break from Rome’s historic center by exploring the surrounding countryside. Just south of the Circus Maximus marks the beginning of the Appian Way or as the Romans call it, the Via Appia Antica. All roads lead to Rome, but this was the one you took when you left it for good – for the Appian Way is lined with the tombs and catacombs of the ancients whose burial inside the city was forbidden.
Your private Appian Way and Roman Aqueduct Tour takes you on a scenic drive along the long surviving section of the Appian Way. Started in 312 BC, this impressive road once spanned the Italian peninsula, connecting Rome with Brindisi in the south. Today, flourishing with greenery, this tree-lined country road is considered one of the most picturesque landscapes in Rome.
Marvel at the Tomb of Cecilia Metella
On our journey along the Appian Way, we’ll pass the towering Tomb of Cecilia Metella. Built for an aristocratic woman from a powerful Roman family, it more closely resembles a castle than a burial structure. The artworks on its outside are breathtakingly immersize.
Pay a special visit to the Aqueduct Park
Spanning 240 hectares of the countryside outside Rome, the Park of the Aqueducts truly is one of Rome’s hidden gems. It’s the home of two aqueducts, one from the 16th century, the other from the 1st. Both survive remarkably intact, paying testimony to the durability of Roman engineering.
Movie makers appreciate the Park of the Aqueducts’ beauty. Federico Fellini included it in the opening fly-over scene of his masterful La Dolce Vita. More recently, Paolo Sorrentino’s recent Great Beauty featured a memorable performance-art scene here.
Visit the monumental Baths of Caracalla
The Baths of Caracalla were one of the few positive contributions of an otherwise horrible emperor. Towering above the Circus Maximus, they still provide an awesome sense of their original size.
You can visit the public baths’ many rooms and mosaics inside. And your guide will vividly reconstruct the hustle and bustle of the place to bring the Baths of Caracalla to life.
Your final stop is the Circus Maximus
Not much of the original Circus Maximus has survived the roughly 2,500 years since its inception. But from the structure that does, your expert guide will reconstruct the entire arena.
Leaving you to envisage the ferocious chariot races, bizarre wild-animal spectacles, and roars from the Circus Maximus’ thousands of spectators.
Customize the tour to cover the Christian Catacombs
We’re happy to extend this tour to include a visit to one of the Appian Way’s Christian Catacombs. Or if you want to focus mainly on the catacombs, we offer a Catacombs and Appian Way Private Tour.
Both include a private car with driver so you can relax away from the hustle and bustle of the Eternal City.

Then we walked through the market to pick out some of the ingredients, the meats and such. Then we went back to their excellent small group kitchen. We had a wonderful time learning from Sara. She taught us to make ravioli and saltimbocca and tiramisu. It was fun and relaxed and extremely delicious. We thought the whole experience was splendid. 10 out of 10. read less - 9/26/2022

We got to try a ton of different food and even returned to one of the restaurants later in the week. The tour groups are kept small, so our group easily got to know each other throughout the tour. We were especially pleased with how accommodating it was: My fiance is a vegetarian and can be a bit of a picky eater, so he had low expectations going in and this ended up being his favorite activity all week! We actually had a couple of vegetarians in our group and there was always an equally hearty substitute whenever necessary. Super pleased with this experience and with Luca! Best part of our week! read less - 9/21/2022

A great evening with plenty of incredible local food and drink and a really good way to meet and get to know other travellers. The small group size made it much more personal and conversation flowed all evening! Sara (our guide) was absolutely amazing - so friendly and chatty, and so full of knowledge about the local food and Rome/Trastevere's history. She could not have been better.
I'll be coming back to Rome and will definitely be booking this again. Thank you so much, Sara, for making my first trip to Rome that much better! read less - 9/21/2022 - mrsmac0912Delicious food from fabulous foody Luca Boccia was PHENOMENAL!

His knowledge of Italian cuisine was exceptional, especially welcomed because it included more than just the well known dishes. He was funny and friendly, making our time together unforgettable.
Most appreciated was his offer to remain a resource for the duration of our visit with DELICIOUS recommendations off the tourist path.

This was my third time to the Vatican but this time I took my adult/teen children and wife and we used a tour guide. It was a small group of 9. Just 2 families. She was great. She does this 4 days a week and all the guards knew her by name. If you want to see the Sistine Chapel, then you have to go early. We were one of the first to enter and with her connections basically did not wait on anything. We also entered a section in the Vatican Museums usually off limits to the public, a section with many animal statues and other mosaics. She gave us so much history and culture. My children said it was AP World History made real. You could tell she truly loved what she did. read less - 8/29/2022

It was a very hot summer day and she always looks for ways to give us the information under the shade before we went into the sun. I highly recommend this company and Martha as well. It was very easy to make the reservation and pay. We took the private tour and was perfect. 3 hours that feel like Half hour . We didn’t do any limes to get into the places. Know that if you go by yourself or in other yours you could be up to 2 hours under the sun to get into the coliseum or forum. I highly recommend the private tour. read less - 8/05/2022
