Fantastic and highly recommended ebike tour - It was great to get out of the city but still see important historical sites. Fascinating, just the right mix of history and nature, exercise and learning. Cas was amazing, caring and supportive to our entire group. Always concerned, very communicative and relaxed. So glad he was our guide! Thank you to your excellent mechanic - the bikes were in good condition, had lots of charge Everyone was warm and made us feel like friends! What a great atmosphere - TopBike are running an excellent company with great service. This tour exceeded our expectations! Highly recommended!

Experience Rome in the best way possible! Worth it! - Pablo was an amazing guide, definitely the highlight of my trip to Rome. He kept us safe and was very knowledgeable. Safety was his first concern but his love for the history and telling the story to us was priceless. Definitely book this tour you won’t be disappointed!

Johanna’s thoughts - A bit challenging in some areas, but overall not bad biking terrain. Beautiful way to experience the Appian Way and the ruins of the Aqueduct. Our guide was super helpful and historically knowledgeable.

Great tour with a terrific guide (Han), excellent bikes and lots of fun biking along the Appian Way - Great tour with a terrific guide (Han), excellent bikes, lots of fun biking along the Appian Way and the Aqueducts, and a nice group of people. Check-in was smooth - and the office is well organized and well staffed. The bikes are in great condition. Han, our excellent guide, provided a nice introduction, some quick training on the pedal assist, and generally made everyone feel welcome and excited. Off we went, first through some streets (mostly side sides although you should be aware that there are stretches on the road with some traffic). We would stop every 5 to 10 minutes for a chat, to learn (and discuss) history, and generally make sure everyone was connected. The Appian Way can get a little bumpy - FYI - but generally the biking was easy to moderate. The pedal assist worked great. Coffee at mid point of the tour was nice. Would definitely recommend - and one of the best things we did in Rome! Thanks Han, and everyone, for a great day!

Fun Rome experience - Very fun experience. Loved getting out of Ancient Rome and seeing the sights. The bikes were in good shape and our guide was informative and fun. Would definitely recommend! Might be a bit scary for someone who has never biked because you are on lots of rocky terrain.
