Our guide was very... - Our guide was very informative and let us safe during our ride in the city and on the outside of the city. We also had a chance to see many parks, tombs and aqueducts. The ride had many defined trails.

E-bike - I enjoyed using the e-bike. Gave great instructions. Learning so much along the way. Like the ancient aqueducts and the one that still brings water into the city. Seeing where St. Peter decided to go and face adversity instead of running away from Christian persecution. Seeing the city walls and the first Roman highway. I can’t say enough good things about this experience. Learning about the catacombs was very interesting

Excellent! - What an excellent day! The e-bikes are well maintained and they had a great option for our 10 year old son. The route was very enjoyable. You will be biking alongside cars for a few kilometers, and parts of the route are bumpy (you are along the Appian Way after all), but you are comfortable on a bike, this is no problem. And with the electronic motor, you don’t have to break a sweat! It was a real treat to travel alongside the Appian Way, along the Roman Aquaducts, and through parks. Even lunch at Pizza Gege was a treat. This bike tour was definitely a highlight of our days in Rome!

This is a deeply interesting excursion that is well worth your time. Great guide, great bikes and a great value. - The aquaducts were the most impressive to us. And the park there is quite lovely. The highlight of the trip though was our guide, Zacchi. (I'm not sure that is the correct spelling.) His depth of history and the area is very impressive and he shared his stories and information with great enthusiasm, He was ever upbeat and supportive despite our being rained upon most of the way, sometimes quite heavily. Plus he kept us together and safe navigating the Rome streets and traffic. Plus, we had to reschedule our ride and your communications to us were excellent. Thank you!

Explore the less famous part of Rome - The tour visited parts of Rome that are not well known and that still show the greatness, ingenuity, and humanity of the Romans. We did the tour with children aged 7 and 9 and the experience was fantastic.

One of the best things I could have ever done in Rome - The entire experience was top-notch. Our tour guide was a Dutchman who studied history at University. What a perfect combination. He blocked traffic for us to be able to cross streets safely in the city, was very knowledgeable about everything in the countryside, and city landmarks, friendly and funny. Couldn't have asked for more. We were very well treated and I would highly recommend this. I own an eBike and I can tell you that they have the top-of-the-line Cannondale bikes to suit your size and will help you learn to ride it if you have never done so. Highly recommend.

Fun and Varied Antiquities Tour - A great tour of Rome and the nature around it. Easy way to see a lot of highlights from antiquity. Our guide was very good, knowledgeable, and safety minded. E-bikes take all the work out of it, but comfort on a bike and traffic navigation is good to have.
