One of The Best Tour In Rome! - We were a group of 8 people that vacationed in Rome for 2 weeks. We love all the excursions we did. Especially The E Bike tour. The Bike tour was last minute and we were so glad we did it. Alessio was our tour guide. He was knowledgeable, extremely friendly and funny. We could tell he loves his job very much. The Catacombs were amazing. The Appian Ways and The Aqueducts were so beautiful and interesting. We love every minute of it. This is the best tour by far. Thank you Alessio and Matteo, for making our trip a memorable one.

An awesome way to see the Appian Way and Aqueducts! - This tour was the highlight our Rome visit. This was our first time using e-bikes. They are easy to use and helped on the hills. Emanuele, our guide, is super friendly, a seasoned cyclist and knew his history. He navigated nicely along the cobblestone Appian Way, then taking roads and touring the Roman Aqueducts along with some back city roads with minimal traffic. We stopped periodically for photo ops and he took pictures of us as well. It was the time of the year that poppies were blooming and the meadows were just beautiful! We definitely would recommend this especially for tired feet in need of a rest from walking everywhere in the city. In fact, it was nice to get away from the crowds!

Do this Tour! - This was a highlight of our time in Rome! First of all our guide, Guido, was fabulous- the e-bikes are a bit tricky to learn and he was so patient, pacing himself to ensure we were comfortable and managing our tour route to ensure we took route we were comfortable riding. The tour was beautiful- Appian way and acqueducts were stunning to see amidst all the greenery which is unexpected in Rome. Super enjoyable and highly recommend!

Beautiful and interesting bike tour with good guide. - Beautiful and interesting bike ride with electric bike. Great way to get around and see parts of Rome that you would not otherwise go to. Knowledgeable and committed guide, Emanuel. Gave extra good service when we forgot EarPods in one bike bag that he came and left.

If you want to go on this tour, get Ricardo he is the best tour guide. - Had a great day with Ricardo he knew heaps of stuff and we learnt a lot. It was great to be out of the city in the open fields as we saw another side to Rome that we would’ve never seen. Ricardo is the best. Riccardo is my king. Your very very truly Jake Martin

A cycle trip with a difference! - This was a wonderful trip - accessible by public transport from the city centre, and starting with a fascinating tour of the catacombs. Then electric assisted bikes to explore the Appian Way and Aquaducts - with a convenient coffee stop half way through. A unique experience and highly recommended. Our guide Peppo made it fun and interesting!

Wonderful trip - Had a great time on the tour of the Appian way and aqueducts. Our tour guide Alessio was excellent and full of tonnes of information from ancient history to more recent goings on in the different areas we passed through.

Yikes! Rough terrain and traffic! - Decent experience but understand that this is not for novice cyclists. The terrain is rough and the instructions on how to operate the e-bike were nominal. My daughter (18) had a tough time and fell multiple times with the “off road” terrain. She was not the only one that had trouble. Tour guide talked a ton about things that were not relevant to the tour. Still a worthy experience but tour could be way better.
