A must for your trip to Rome! - This is a fantastic way to enjoy the Appian Way and the surrounding parks of Rome! The aqueduct is breathtaking, and the catacombs were fascinating. Iman was such a great, knowledgeable fun guide and he made us feel at ease right away on the bikes. Whizzing around on e-bikes, history, and a stop for delicious food with a great guide - what’s not to love?

Everyone should do this!! - Wonderful experience: Simple starting point in a major Roman area. You will receive a brief E-bike lesson so that you are confident. Then... Off we go! Very pretty biking tour for (almost) all ages; we are in our mid-sixties and had no trouble at all. BRUNO, our guide, was excellent at "herding" many tourists throughout the experience.

Best tour we did in Rome. Eccezionale - This was by far the best thing we did during our stay in Rome. Sylvia was so much fun and kept us in line on our adventurous travels through the streets and parks. To travel along the Appian Way and learn about the history of the Catacombs and Aquaducts took us back in time and made us all feel in awe. Would definitely recommend this as a must do.

A challenging but absolutely wonderful tour! - We had an absolute blast on this bike trip! It is not for the faint of heart or new bikers—the old rocky Appian Way and fast paced city traffic kept us on our toes while our MARVELOUS tour guide Sylvia helped us navigate city, country, and suburb. She was incredibly attentive, provided clear instructions and advice about safety, and extremely knowledgeable about all the wonderful ruins and structures we saw. The catacombs tour was fascinating, the aqueducts awe-inspiring, but as they say, the real trip was the friends we made along the way! Be honest with yourself about your biking abilities for this one, but we can’t recommend this tour enough. We had a total blast and will be talking about the gorgeous sites and sights for years to come.

Amazing unique experience! - Our favorite guided tour experience while in Rome! High quality mountain e-bikes make this a super comfortable ride especially on the ancient stones of the Appian Way. Tour guide was so friendly and informative. Note that the catacombs are a separate guided tour arranged at the site and are large groups - interesting to see, but I probably would have preferred more time just on the bike with our small group and guide. Overall a wonderful outing!

Best Tour in Rome Away from the Crowds of the City - The tour was the highlight and favorite of the tours we did in Rome. It was absolutely amazing. The other tours and attractions are definitely over rated and crowded but this tour takes you out of the city into some beautiful areas of nature, away from the crowds and the noise of the city.
Our guide, Iman, was the best. He did an excellent job communicating and leading our group. He was incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, and we learned so much throughout the tour. He was attentive and helpful, was just a genuine good human being.
The bikes were top-quality and very comfortable to ride. The route was incredibly varied, offering a great mix of scenery and experiences. The aqua ducts were fascinating.
Highly recommended!!
