Great cycling tour out of the city - Although occasionally bumpy off-road, this was easy cycling with a capable e-bike. Our guide, Oscar, was excellent; setting a good pace between cycling and info/comfort stops with a keen eye on our welfare. It was great to get out of the centre of Rome to see a different perspective of the parks, aqueducts and Appian Way.

Best day in Rome! - This was a great bike ride but at points challenging. If you can ride a bike this is doable!We enjoyed the day and did about 16 miles. Our guide Bria was fantastic. The history we saw and learned was amazing! We enjoyed the entire day!

Amazing, peaceful, historical bike ride through the Roman countryside - Here is the text in a copy-and-paste format: Our guide Mina was awesome. He knew a lot of historical facts and showed us lots of cool things along the way. He genuinely cared about everyone in our group and made sure we were all safe and taken care of. We had a great time on the electrically assisted pedal bikes. Much of this tour is off road so be prepared for some bumpy roads and rough terrain. It was so much fun! It’s a great way to get out of the city and enjoy the peaceful countryside. If you have allergies, bring some allergy medicine with you because you will be riding through lots of diverse wild plants. It’s about 15 miles and does require some physical endurance but as a couple of middle aged people we had no problem.

Great guide and scenery - Exceptional experience. It was our favorite Rome experience. Aaliyah was a great tour guide, bring the history alive and making all levels of bike riders feel confident. The bikes were great when you needed a little boost and the scenary amazing. It was a lovely break from the crowds of Rome.

PABLO IS THE BEST! - Very nice experience with a top guide! Our Argentine Pablo had a lot of facts about the city with both a funny and critical view! Pleasantly surprised by the green surroundings Rome has to offer and much more fun than all the tourist attractions! Big chapeau for Pablo!
