E-bike Rome for sure - Duarte and another gentleman (who had the good music playing the whole ride) kept us safe and were so knowledgeable of the whole tour and Rome in itself. We were able to see so many sites during the ride and brought us for cappuccino and a delicious cornetto at the end. Learned so much from Duarte, his speaking in Italian, Spanish, English and Portuguese was impressive. Bike was comfortable, low profile and the braking system was excellent. Helmet is supplied. Bring a wind breaker should it be on the chilly side early in the morning. My wife and are avid e-bike owners and riders in the USA, and I was so happy she booked this tour while in Rome.

E-Nike tour Via Appia - The tour with our guide Alessio was fantastic! Alessio is a very experienced guide who can tell you a lot about antiquity along the way and he showed us places in Rome that you would not otherwise have seen. The E-bikes ensure that you do not need to be trained to take this bike tour.

Perfect day tour - The tour was fantastic, with great views. The electric bikes and two guides (one in front and the other one as the last), helped a lot and the tour was really safe, as we were not experienced bikers. One must do tour if you have time and have kids over 13 (youngers may have some difficulty to bike for 36 kilometers). But don’t worry, you won’t need an athletic preparation… the electric bikes do most of the work for you!

Highly recommend this ebike tour! - We had a couple of brilliant day(s) out in Rome (this tour on the Sunday and we also did the central tour on the Saturday). Our tour guide Alessio was really fantastic, spent lots of time with us showing us many incredible things to see around Rome. Super friendly and very knowledgeable, we saw so much more than we would ever have expected in a limited time (unfortunately we had only two days in this amazing city). Both of our first time on an ebike but I would really recommend it, not strenuous at all, feels very leisurely! Alessio was very patient and generous with his time (we went way over on the second day), took some great photos of the two of us, and shared so many facts about this incredible city, and I can't speak highly enough of the bike tour.

Favorite activity in Rome - This was an AWESOME experience. It was nice to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city. Our guide Emanuele was the BEST. It’s a long ride so you need to be ready for it. Definitely a highlight of our Rome trip.

Excellent tour. - Fantastic! I took my daughter and she said it was her favorite thing we did. Andriana was an amazing tour guide. She is a history major and had so much knowledge about everything around us. I highly recommend this adventure!
