The trails, aqueducts, and catacombs are amazing and a highlight of our trip. Zack was a great guide and made frequent stops to talk to us about different things and answer our questions. Food at the end was quite tasty and ample for dinner (along with a recommendation of gelato).
Amazing morning with Silvia as our guide! Highly recommend this experience. Everything from the ride, explanations, views, etc. was excellent.
Fantastic tour! 5 hour e-bike tour we began at 3pm in July heat and was very pleasant change from walking around. Our older teen boys loved it too. Adrianna was fantastic and a wealth of info and really kept us engaged. The route was gorgeous and well planned. Catacombs were cool and the aqueduct park gorgeous. We learned so much. The biking was a bit challenging at times due to ancient bumpy stone roads and a bit of mountain bike trails but we all managed it and Adrianna guided us well. Stopped for appetizers and a drink at perfect time and was overall just a fantastic experience!
Went with 16yo son, it ended up being just the two of us and we both loved it! The e-bikes were super comfortable and we rode through city, suburbs, parks, as well as the Appian Way and out to Aqueducts. Great way to see a lot of different settings, learn about some history and way cooler and more relaxing than walking. Teenager’s favorite activity in Rome.
This was a great way to see parts or Rome you cannot see by car or train. The guide was informative and the electric bikes made the ride enjoyable. There are some bumpy rocky parts to this ride so please know it’s not all flat.
Amazing experience solo! Get to get away to the quiet countryside area! Seeing the aqueducts and mausoleums was surreal.
Excellent! Beautiful experience. Mattia was so helpful with booking. Iman was incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful. Thank you
I wasn’t able to join due to Burno having concerns that I couldn’t go fast enough to keep up with the group. So me and my husband paid $201 for nothing.
Dear David, When booking a shared e-bike tour, guests are expected to be able to ride at a normal cycling pace. You expected to complete the tour at around 8 km/h, while the average walking speed is about 5 km/h, which would have significantly slowed down the entire group. Out of respect for the other guests, who had also paid for a shared cycling experience, our guide Bruno advised you not to join the tour. His decision was made solely to ensure the best and safest experience for everyone
Did the tour with my 16 yr old son and we both thoroughly enjoyed the tour led by Andriana. We had a wonderful day- fantastic tour with a friendly and very informative guide …Andriana and shop team were friendly and very supportive- great job and highly recommended and would definitely use again. Not a hard ride with electric bikes that are all in tip-top condition.
Such a FUN tour!!! Our family had an amazing time on this tour. Great food also included. I highly recommend to anyone traveling to Rome.
