A less busy side of Rome by bike - Very cool experience, riding throughout the outskirts of Rome. Gave us a more peaceful view of Rome and open/recreational areas. We ended riding for about 12 miles. Be prepared. Worth the experience. Cris from Switzerland was great.

Great tour super... - Great tour super informative. It’s a bike tour through a crowded European city. if you or your kids are not familiar with riding a bike in a city and you get scared easily it’s probably not for you. If you love history, peaceful sights, and can handle a bike this tour is perfect. Eat beforehand though.

Best thing we did in Rome! - Probably one of the best things we did in Rome! An absolute breath of fresh air to get out in the beautiful, quiet countryside and see a different side to Rome. Our guide, Nico, was welcoming and very knowledgeable, both historically and of the roads and routes to go. Our 2 pre-teens loved it too. Steady and relaxed pace on e-bikes, definitely recommend, thank you Nico!

Highly recommend - best Rome tour - It was a wonderful way to see the Appian way and learn about the history along the way. The countryside was beautiful, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and took great care to ensure everyone was together in the group and had a sense of what the trails would be like along the way. The ride was easy with the ebike and very enjoyable.

An interesting ride, if not particularly comfortable. - Very busy at Starbike on arrival with groups and bikes everywhere. We were sorted quickly but up to you to check if the bike was the correct size, and instructions around the controls were limited. Groups were 10 each. Our guide Marco gave quick instructions on traffic or riding issues after each stop but was pretty quick to move along, not always checking if his group was still behind him. As it was May Day, there were hundreds of people out and about, which meant it was hard to keep him in sight, and at one intersection, half the group lost him for about 15 mins. Riding conditions were also tricky given the cobblestones and the large uneven stones of the Appian Way. We often needed to use dirt tracks, narrow paths and downhill paths. As a part time cyclist I found it tricky and not particularly enjoyable. There was plenty to see. When we stopped Marco provided great information and history. A few more stops would have been good to take photos. Marco left us to our own devices at the Catacombs with our tickets but we worked it out. The park of the Aquaducts was beautiful. Lunch was some pretty uninspiring sandwiches and a couple of small pastries. If it's a warm day, you need to take water as none was provided until lunch. Overall the ride was interesting, if not particularly comfortable. If you're not a very confident rider or your fitness is poor I would not recommend it.
