Interesting and fun! - It was a wonderful e-bike tour! Our guide, Bita, was terrific and made every effort to ensure the safety of the riders throughout the tour. The route was interesting and took us to places that we had not visited before. The e-bikes were in good condition and anyone who feels comfortable on a bike could enjoy this tour.

Memories for a Lifetime - Day to remember. Memories for a lifetime. One of the best activities in Rome. E-Bike makes the experience accessible. Excellent way to escape the city by riding the Appian Way to Aqueducts Park then back around through the city and park before returning. We enjoyed everything about the tour.

Best experience in Rome for a family! - We had a fabulous tour with Top Bikes. Our guide, Sina, shared wonderful stories and paced the tour wonderfully. The eBikes are well maintained and easy to use. Our family of 2 adults and 2 teenage girls had a wonderful time in this tour and it was the highlight of our trip to Rome! Highly recommend.
