A day on the ancient highway: Catacombs, Ancient ruins and the Appia way.
The Appian way was once described as the “Queen of Roads” a title well earned, considering it stretched a whopping 563km and was built in 312bc! Still today the black, basalt cobble stones are marked with the scores of ancient cart wheels and yearn to tell tales of the Spartacus revolt, WW2 Battles and the Olympics of 1960. An eclectic and unbelievable history which we will explore together, along with a visit to a set of Catacombes, ruins of an ancient tomb, Imperial circus and more. A great day on the outskirts of the city followed by a wonderful spot for Lunch. Alexander Mariotti Dolce Vita Rome FEELING LIKE SOMETHING RELAXED AND EASY?

In doing so, they never really get a chance to see the or experience the true soul of Rome. That’s what we are...
Orvieto
A perfectly preserved medieval town located on the top of a massive volcanic ash, cliff. Delicious Wild boar dishes, cheap yet delicious wine, great shopping, no people and all a one hour train ride from Rome. How to get there Trains from Rome’s Termini station leave regularly and take between an hour to an hour and twenty two minutes, depending on wether you take the IC (Inter City) or RV (Regionale Veloce) train. This also affects the cost with the IC costing 20 euros per person and the RV costing 11 euros per person. OUR ADVICE: take the RV, it’s cheaper, often quicker and there is no difference in train to be honest. Once at the train station (Orvieto Scalo), you simply take the Funeculare (like a ski lift) to the top, it lasts 3 minutes,...
