Amazing bike tour - Fantastic tour! Bikes were top notch, easy to use. The gentleman at the front desk was so friendly. The mechanic had bikes ready to go as soon as we walked in. There were 9 of us for 6 hours our tour guide, Sina, was informative and attentive the whole time! Our 3 boys, 21, 18, 16 said it was the best part of our trip! We loved it! Perfect blend of activity and education! Definitely book this tour!

Super plezant - Very nice tour, 25 km about. Really very nice guide (Claudia): very friendly, attentive and sense of humor. She told a lot of interesting facts.
Blessed to cycle and then end up in a quiet part of Rome. The highlight for us was the aqueduct.
Nice to cycle through the woods.
Highly recommended!

Best tour in Rome - Nima was an excellent tour guide and made sure we were all safe. He was very knowledgeable about Roman history and all the archeological sites we visited and was very patient with everyone.
The tour was difficult at times but doable especially with really good tour guide. Also the catacombs is a must do when in Rome.

Must Do E-Bike Tour - Fantastic trip and great to get out of Rome Centre. Professional tour company and all staff were helpful and friendly. Our tour guide was Bita, and her knowledge, calmness and friendliness made the trip. Definitely ask to be part of Bita’s group. It was great to be on the old Appian Way and see the aqueduct’s.

Worth the money, great day out - Fantastic tour for the whole family. 10 and 14 year old riding ebikes for the first time had an amazing time. Felt very safe and most of the time the roads are quiet and you can take in the sights. The aqueduct were just 'wow' and even impressed the teenagers!
My 10 year old rated it a 9/10 only because he wasn't allowed to take home a baby turtle we saw in a pond on the way back. 10/10 from the rest of us!

Great sites off the beaten path of Rome - Great tour! We went >20km around the city and saw things tourists don't often get to see. The bikes are great for riding in the parks and seeing a large part of the Appean way. Claudia is a great tour guide and highly recommended.

Fun, unique experience - Great tour experience! We learned some new history about Rome, we enjoyed seeing the Appian Way, catacombs, and the aqueducts, and enjoyed a scenic route outside of the main part of the city. It was nice on a hot afternoon because it was cooler than walking, and there was lots of shade. A few scary patches of uneven ground and rocks only made it more exciting! Plenty of water and didn't feel too long at all. Only downside is a few mosquito bites, so bring bug spray for some of the stops.

A must-see tour! - The bikes were impeccable and the service A-1. Our guide Zach is informed and generous in his details about the history of Rome. In addition, he is attentive and respects the rhythm of the group. It deserves a score of 10/10.
