Enjoy the ride. - Very responsive to booking questions. Fun and easy ride - a bit more on city streets than we expected. Good tour of city gate and walls, Via Appia and Aqueducts, plus some riding through parklands. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable.

Wonderful Combination of History and Nature - Alex was an excellent tour guide. He was attentive to making sure our bikes were set up and working properly. The E-bikes were high quality and provided the necessary boost for any hills on the route. Alex also ensured we had a bathroom break and could refill our water bottle as needed. The tour included stunning views of Roman parks with aqueducts as well as stops at many ancient sites that would have been difficult to access walking from the city center. Overall it was a delightful combination of history and nature. The route included a couple more difficult terrain areas which were manageable for my wife and I as casual bikers but could be more difficult for inexperienced bikers or senior citizens. If needed it would have been easy to walk the bikes across the couple difficult stretches and still have a wonderful experience.

E-bike tour - Imon with Starbikes was amazing. Gorgeous landscape and great e bike. Highly recommend. I’ve been to Rome a few times but had never seen the aqueducts. Truly great experience. It felt empty as we didn’t see many other people while on the tour.

Our best city cycling tour yet! - We have done a lot of guided tours and the unanimous view placed this top of the list. Our tour guide, Nico, was very knowledgeable. However, he used the right mix of anecdotes and history to keep us captivated and entertained for the three hours. Weaving through the back streets of Rome added to make the experience our best city cycle tour yet.

Great e-bike tour of Appian Way - What a great e-bike tour!! We booked a private tour for two. We didn’t start off on the right foot as we had difficulty with our transportation from our hotel to the Starbike location. But we sent a message to the Starbike team and told them we would be about 10 minutes late. They quickly replied, “No problem. We will wait for you.” Once we arrived, we met our guide, Valerio. He helped us get fitted to our bikes and helmets and off we went. Valerio was outstanding. Not only was he an extremely knowledgeable historian and guide, but he was so patient and kind with us. We learned so much from Valerio about the ancient Romans, dating back over 2000 years ago. We travelled through streets, cobblestone roads, and off-road through parks. The ruins we saw were impressive. By the way, who knew Rome had so much green just outside of the craziness of downtown. I would highly recommend this tour and Valerio. A couple words of warning, though: During parts of the tour, you will be riding on heavily trafficked streets, sharing the road with crazy Rome drivers. If this makes you nervous, this may not be for you. In addition, although these are e-bikes, there is no throttle on the bikes. It is pedal assisted so you will have to do a lot of pedaling. It’s not difficult pedaling but just be aware.
