A Ride to Remember - We had a wonderful experience with our guide, Alex. I am an average, casual bike rider and found the E bikes to be fantastic. Frequent stops and made the ride very manageable. Our guide was patient and kind. The "brunch" was a nice stop, but not memorable in terms of food quality. Really enjoyed the catacombs and other historical stops along the way.

Our Favorite Rome Tour! Thanks Alex! - My son and I booked this tour to see the country side, get some fresh air and move. We received so much more. From the beginning, the Starbike was friendly and very helpful. The bikes were premium and easy to adjust and learn. Our guid was Alex. He had this tour unforgettable. Alex was very passionate and knowledgable about the many things we saw during the tour. The brunch was a very nice meal. The highlight of the tour for us was the Catacombs. It was overwhelming to think of the number of Christians buried there, with 1/3 being martyred. It was a very moving experience. Thank you Alex for the incredible tour and friendship! I appreciate the other suggestions to St. Peter in Chains church. It was amazing!

Worth it - We did the tour with Alex and it was great. Alex is super knowledgeable, takes the time to help if you need it, and made sure we saw parts of Rome we otherwise wouldn't have seen. FYI If you have never used an E-Bike know it still requires peddling but it makes going up hills a breeze. Overall it was by far our families best tour in Rome.

E-bike - We did the tour with Alex and it was great. Alex is super knowledgeable, takes the time to help if you need it, and made the tour worth doing. If you have never used an E-Bike know it still requires peddling. We biked from the Colosseum to the Roman Baths then to the Drusus Arch and the Porta San Sebastiano. From there we went to the Catacombs of Callixtus also known as the Catacombs of the Popes, which once contained the remains of 6 Popes and St. Cecilia. We then saw the mausoleum of Caecilia Metella and the Castrum Caetani. We then biked on the Appian Way where the 3rd Servile War against Spartacus and the slaves occurred and where Jesus saw Peter on the road. We then went through the countryside and saw the aquaducts Aquia and Claudia. From there we had lunch at a nice café. We finished up by biking back through a park and seeing more of the Aurelian Walls. Overall it was by far our families best tour in Rome.

Nice fun family activity, beautiful country side - The scenery and sights are unforgettable. Aqueducts, the appian way, the Aurelian wall, and the Roman country side are beautiful, albeit dusty in the summer. It's a pretty long ride, but the e bikes make it very easy. Fairly bumpy roads and some major intersections on the public roads but most of the ride is fine for even relatively skilled riders. Our guide, Ava, was fantastic!

Family fun on an ebike tour. - The tour allowed us to see Rome, both modern and ancient sights, from a new perspective. The aqueduct park, Appian way and goong along the old city wall for several km were our favorite sections. The kids (11, 13 & 15) stayed interested throughout and had no trouble managing the e-bikes. Ava did a great job as the guide for our group of 9!
