Cave Trips with Food Worldwide: 5 We Would Book

1.Appian Way & Aqueducts E-Bike Tour (Catacombs & Food)

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 1,498 reviews · 3.5 - 5 hours · from $88Our pick

Leave central Rome behind for a 3.5 to 5-hour e-bike ride along the Appian Way and through the Aqueducts Park. You’ll use a full-suspension CUBE bike, visit the catacombs if selected, and finish with Roman food or an aperitivo. Guides such as Silvia, Iman, Bruno, and Felipe lead in English, French, Italian, or Spanish.

“This is a brilliant tour and was a perfect activity for my teenage son and I. Our guide, Bruno, was very knowledgeable and interesting and really made the history of Ancient Rome come alive. The e-bikes were great fun and made the 15 miles of cycling easy. The catacombs were incredible and the guide there was also brilliant and clearly really loves her job. Lots of these tours don’t include lunch in the price, but this one does, which makes it even better value. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough.”
