Via Appia Antica, Rome, Italy The Appian Way (completed in 312 B.C) was one of the earliest and longest roads of Ancient Rome. It was also the most significant- both symbolically and strategically. Symbolically in that all roads really did lead to Rome (like that famous saying) most likely and maybe even literally at this point. And strategically because, the Appian Way was the main route for all supplies and the military, connecting Rome to Brindisi in southeast Italy.

Meeting was as described, a regular place for many tours.
Our Guide Giuseppe was very knowledgeable and happy to take questions. The trip to the via appia and aquaducts was a nice break from the norm.
I cannot remember the name of the guide in the catacombs but he was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the subject.
We did this tour 5 years ago and wanted to take our kids (in their 20's)/partners on it this time as it was just amazing.
A great tour close to Rome , a three in one that still gives you the rest of the day.
