Overview of the tour in Rome

We will have a unique opportunity to ride along the ancient Roman Appian Way, 2300 years old.

We will see an ancient tomb, Roman statues, the ruins of a circus, as well as the imperial palace. Furthermore, we will see the famous Christian catacombs and pagan mausoleums.

Next, according to the plan, we have a ride along the ancient Roman aqueducts towering over the fields. We will drive through the picturesque countryside, which will not leave you indifferent. Such famous people as Byron, Goethe, and Stendhal were impressed by this beauty.
