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.
