Bucket list thing to do! - We simply loved this tour. Our guide was superb and very knowledgable. Loved listening to his music along urbanism way. The e bikes were top notch too. The whole experience was a highlight for our teenage boys 14 and 16 too - Rome itself has so many impressions and there is so much to take in and the trip was a lovely way to mix up steering and some amazing scenery of the countryside which is a stark contrast to the bustling city. Loved it!! Highlight of my life and will never forget this 😘❤️

E-bike is the way to see the Appian Way! - This was a great way to see another part of Rome. Filipe, our guide, did an excellent job of guiding us through the streets of Rome to the park areas where we would spend most of our time. The e-bikes were easy to use and the power very helpful of the uphill rides (confidence and basic cycling skills are necessary). We made regular stops along the way and Filipe clearly explained the significance of the site and answered any questions we had. Riding on the Appian Way, the tour of the Catacombe di San Callisto and Aqueduct Park were highlights. We also had an excellent lunch stop. We would take a tour like this again.

Great Experience! - Excellent experience. Guide was great as was the lunch. Great way to feel like you’ve experienced Rome outside the City. Bikes were fun and easy to learn how e-bikes work. Highly recommend.

Must do! - My bike ride was led by Bruno, and it was an incredible experience. It was an easy, safe bike ride. There was plenty of water along the way, and the lunch was delicious. Bruno was the best! He had so much knowledge and was such a great guide.

Amazing Appian way experience! - Iman was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable and great at sharing historical info in a fun and informative way.
The ebikes were fabulous. But be sure you are comfortable on a regular bike as there is a variety of terrain (gravel, rocks, cobblestones, narrow paths, and Rome roads). Iman did everything to keep the group safe on the bikes!
The aperitif was yummy, refreshing, and a wonderful (almost) end to the tour.
I highly recommend this tour!

Amazing tour of the catacombs - This tour is a must do, our guides were amazing, full of information and ensuring the safety of the group when crossing streets.
You stop on the way to ruins, aqua ducts and other points of interest not accessible by car.
I hadn't ridden a bike for years and the guide was worried for my safety. No other tour would do this, the owner who wasn't planning on going on the ride had an ebike with a pillion seat and doubled me the entire way. I am so grateful as I would have missed out on my favourite your of Rome.
Couldn't recommend this highly enough

Very nice tour - The guide was wery friendly and took us safe around. The tour in the Catacombs was interesting and we had a good guide. The bikes were very good and the trip was amazing. We also got a good lunch at a cosy place. It was warm this day but that was not a problem on the e-bike.
I would have done it again.

Great Tour, lots of fun and Informative. - Our tour guide Fernando did an excellent job for our tour on July 9th. He was very knowledgeable on the history of the Apean Way and was a great guide as far as keeping everyone safe while riding to our destinations. He had a great personality and was very easy to talk to and ask questions. The lunch was much more than expected and you did not need to be an expert cyclist to handle the tour. Very much recommend this tour.
