Ricardo (Richard) - thank you for great tour! - Ricardo was our entertaining and attentive guide who confidently navigated us through Rome traffic on well maintained and easy to use e-bikes.
Highlight was the ruins of the aqueducts in a an expansive grassy valley park only 8km from the City. Bicycles are the best way to see the Appian Way. We were fascinated and curious about the old rich villas and estates hidden behind gates and hedges along the cobbled stone road. Tour with Ricardo highly recommended.

Great tour, enjoyed riding the eBike! - The ebike tour was fun. Never having ridden an ebike before, I found it to be easy and fun, taking a lot of the work out of riding. The tour got a little messed up as there was a major marathon run on the same route as we started on. After a while the guide decided to do the tour backwards which got us on a different route and things went smoothly after that. It was interesting to see things outside of the hustle and bustle of Rome and it was very enjoyable.

Well, that was wonderfully different! - We saw a very different rural part of Rome, which we’d never have found otherwise. The e-bikes were brilliant and made the trip very enjoyable. The caves were fascinating, the Appian way was somewhere we’d love to explore further and the catacombs were extraordinary. Our guide was brilliant - very informative and helpful and I’d absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who wants a different experience in Rome.

Wonderful e-bike ride around Rome - Our guide was perfect, I can’t remember her name but the tour couldn’t have gone better. The trainee Victoria was amazing also. We got to see Rome in a unique way and exercise at the same time. 10/10 Would recommend!

Worth going to see more than just the city - Fun tour. Small group. Tour guide (Elena) was great. Took about 4 hours total. Learned a lot about the Appian way (granted I did no research prior). Note: the catacombs are cool but way different than Paris. No bones, but the guide is knowledgeable.
