Best tour in Rome! - This was a great tour with Leo as our guide. A delightfully small group of 8. It is not for the faint hearted and requires some good riding skills on great e-bikes. So nice to see different parts of the city and almost the countryside! We came across a herd of goats! Very accommodating as I needed a step through bike which they made available for me. Highly recommended.

An alternative activity in Rome - When you are in Rome, it is necessary to alternate visiting of the museums with some other activities. A bicycle ride along the Appian Way is a wonderful alternative. Beautiful places, a little additional historical information. The bicycles are in excellent condition, and the guides are friendly and attentive.

Wonderful Tour. Will do it again. - This is a fabulous thing to do on a nice sunny day in Rome. Mixture of exercise, fresh air, beautiful scenery and history /culture.
The guide, Iman was a student of ancient history at the university. Very knowledgeable and you could see he loved the history. Perfect English. He was also very good / caring on the cycling bits.
Most of the cycling is away from traffic on cobbled or dirt tracks through the countryside. When on road Iman was super protective.
So long as you can ride a bike it's very safe.
The e-bikes are very good quality and powerful. Even hills a breeze to cycle up. Or you can switch the motor off if you want to work a little harder to burn off yesterday's pasta 🤣😂
The trip (5hr) is not cheap but included a guided tour around the catacombs which is quite a lot on its own and a surprisingly good lunch at a little organic spa in the countryside.
A lovely ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ day out.

Brilliant Trip. Aim for a sunny day. - Excellent trip. Beautiful scenery. Cost quite high but was worth it as includes entry to the catacombs with expert guide, and a much better than expected lunch!
The guide, a university student, was terrific. Very knowledgeable, great sense of humour, and clearly safety conscious. 👏👏👏

Awesome Biking Experience of Rome - We had a great experience with this tour. It was a small tour group of 6 and Imran our tour guide was very informative about the places, history of the points we stopped. Ebikes were very easy to use and this tour is highly recommended for anyone who interested in seeing the extent of the Via Appia road, Aquaducts & Catacombs.
