Unique Rome Experience - Eliana was a wonderful guide, super knowledgeable of the area and it's history. The catacombs were a unique experience, but my favorite was biking through the aquaduct park, so beautiful. Feels like the country even though your right next to the city!

Great tour for the family - We had a great tour with Riccardo. He was knowledgeable and funny. The tour team did a great job making sure we were comfortable on the bikes. The tour was a great way to learn history and get some exercise at the same time.

Great day out! - Lara our your guide was awesome!! The area to meet was a short cheap trip in a taxi and we started the day riding the e-bikes through the country side - it was gorgeous and the bikes so easy to use, riding through the park where the Aqua Ducts was impressive. We finished at St Sebastian Catacombs, a coffee at the cafe where the bikes are left and home for lunch. That was so nice to get out of the busy ness of the traffic

Brilliant trip - Loved this experience!! My partner and I haven't been on a bike in over 10 years. Was surprised at how easy it was, the boost certainly helped. Our guide Riccardo was so much fun and really entertained us. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave us lots of interesting information. I would highly recommend this tour and our thanks go to Riccardo for elevating the whole experience!!

Spectacular must do! - Hands down my favourite Roma experience! Small group of 5 plus our friendly funny & very knowledgeable guide Emanuelle. Our e-bikes were very comfortable & as a 50+ women I was able to keep pace no problem. Catacombs tour was definitely worth it, however the highlight for me was the Antici Appia & the aquaducts - absolutely spectacular. Fewer crowds (even though it was a national holiday) and so much space to enjoy the beautiful day & park. Cannot recommend more highly. I will even do again next time I am in Roma!

A breath of air in the countryside - My son and I loved this experience outside the city center. Massimo was a top guide. He gave us a lot of information and he knew how to interest my son in the story. He took pictures for us and he knew how to adapt the tour to the unexpected. He made us enjoy a historic celebration on the course.

Ebike to Castel Gandolfo - This e-bike tour with Alessio was hands down the highlight of our trip to Rome. He customized the entire experience for us, taking us out to Castel Gandolfo and even including an inside tour, which made it feel incredibly personal and unique. Along the way, Alessio was informative, engaging, and clearly passionate about what he does. He showed us so many hidden gems and viewpoints we never would have found on our own. He’s also just a genuinely kind and fun person to spend the day with, which made the experience even better. If you’re looking for a typical, crowded Rome tour—this isn’t it. This is something much more special. It’s an unforgettable experience that takes you beyond the usual tourist spots and gives you a deeper, more authentic feel for the area. Highly recommend.

Worth the trip - This was a beautiful bike ride and our Guide Eleana was very knowledgeable and fantastic and handled a difficult situation well. One of the bicycles on the tour had a chain that broke and a replacement chain had been removed and not replaced in the kit causing 45 minute to 1 hour of the tour stopped and waiting on another chain or bike. No fault of the guide who educated us well and operated with professionalism. It is a beautiful trip and worth the booking.
