Great outdoor Rome learning experience - Our tour guide, Zach, was very knowledgeable, well organized, patient and a wonderful leader for our group. It is the first time I have ridden an e-bike and I enjoyed it! Zach would explain any changes in terrain… cobbled stone path to the streets to turns and uphills and downhills. All 7 of us stayed biking as a group safely. I would highly recommend this as a way to see part of the aqueduct system, the Appian Way and part of the catacombs.

Active Tour of Rome - A physical and fun way to get out of the city, and e-bikes make it feel almost like cheating. Tour takes you along the Appian Way to outside the city, where we visited a couple of aqueducts, monuments lining the Appian Way, and catacombs. Highly recommend to anyone seeking an active tour of Rome.

Excellent family event - We had a great day with our guide (Pablo) exploring the Roman countryside. Our kids (aged 10 to 15) loved it. The bikes were in excellent condition. Even though we had to bike through some urban areas, the routes taken were safe and the guide helped us navigate them safely. There were many sites that we would have never encountered if we didn't do this excursion. Five stars.

One not to Miss - Excellent tour around the surrounding areas of Rome. Mostly through countryside, riding down the appian way seeing a quite side of Rome. Visited catacombs and had lunch in a great restaurant pizza was amazing. Definitely recommend this tour

E-bike Tour of Rome and Appian Way - I cannot recommend this tour enough. It was a fantastic way to see and experience Rome differently. It was the highlight of Rome for my two teenage boys. The bikes were top quality and our guide Bita was fantastic. We really enjoyed the ride through Appian Way and Aqueduct park with so much history.

Wonderful Rome - Our guide (Yoop?) was amazing and so passionate about the historical story he shared with us. He tailored our ride to the experience levels of our group. It was a great day exploring Rome in a fashion I’d not done before, on roads I’d not traveled before, and insights I was previously unaware. Kudos!

We loved this, our family... - We loved this, our family of 6 love to do outside activities. This was not hard, the bikes had assist and we were able to see all the things outside of the city that we couldn't walk to. Kept our kids engaged and it was a great break from a typical tour.
