Bike Rental inside Appian Way Regional Park
Description
Visit the beautiful Appia Antica Regional Park by bike. As you pedal through centuries of history, the legends and figures of the past will unfold before your eyes: spot mausoleums, mounds, tombs and remnants of Ancient Rome. Cycling along the Appian Way is a beautiful adventure that will take your mind on a journey through time, dreaming of emperors, centurions, and patricians of times gone by. Bike rentals are available for children and adults, and are a great way to explore the area at your own pace. Follow a series of recommended itineraries, or create your own! Having a bike gives you more freedom to go where you want, with less stress. Please notice that the entire Appian Way is a cobblestones path, a little confidence in riding the bikes is required. You can easily reach us to get the Metro A up to Arco di Travertino stop and then take the 660 bus to the Bike Rental Point

The provided guide map was appreciated and the ride and sites were beautiful. We ran into an unfortunate situation where a nearly fully charged battery completely died approx halfway thru the route. I got plenty of unexpected exercise peddling back up to the bike rental. After a brief exchange and request for additional time, I was directed by the attendant to call and speak with the owner. The owner listened to my experience and request, then promptly spoke to the attendant over the phone. Within minutes I had a different bike with a fully charged battery and we were back on our way to finish our tour. Unexpected things happen in business - batteries go bad. My compliments to the owner for promptly taking care of the issue which resulted in a finished bike tour and a happy experience overall. As a business owner myself - if I had one (constructive) criticism, it would be to empower your staff to recognize issues such as this. Do not insinuate even for a moment that the customer is at fault for a premature dead battery. The attendant should make the call to the owner, not the customer. The conversation should never need to escalate to the point of frustration, for both the customer and attendant. All in all my son and I had a very enjoyable experience and would 100% do it again and recommend others do the same. Our minor issue was resolved promptly and properly by the owner, which I very much appreciated.
TripAdvisor: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience and for your highly valuable feedback. 🌟 As a fellow business owner, I truly appreciate your constructive insight. You hit the nail on the head: unexpected technical glitches like a sudden battery failure can happen, but how we handle them is what makes the difference. I completely agree with your perspective on staff empowerment. Our goal is always to provide a seamless, stress-free experience, and your feedback is a fantastic tool for us to refine our internal procedures. We are already working on training and empowering our team so that solutions can be deployed instantly on-site without putting any administrative burden or friction on our guests. I am very glad that we were able to step in promptly, swap the bike, and give you the extra time needed to finish the tour with your son! Knowing that you both had a beautiful ride and would 100% do it again is the best outcome we could hope for. Thank you for choosing Bicycle Roma, for your trust, and for helping us grow. We hope to welcome you and your son back for an absolutely flawless adventure next time! 🚲🌿✨
Great experience, it was one of the highlights of our Rome visit. The bikes were in good shape and we didn't have any tire issues.
Thank you so much for your review! 🌟 We are thrilled to hear that renting from us was one of the highlights of your Rome visit and that you had lots of fun. You're totally right—riding on the ancient Roman paving stones can get a little bumpy in places, but that's all part of the authentic, historic adventure! We take great pride in keeping our fleet in excellent shape, so we are very glad you appreciated the reliability of our bikes and had a smooth, trouble-free ride through the park. Thank you for choosing Bicycle Rom
The reception was a bit cool. The gate was closed and the area somewhat quiet and deserted. A driver's license will be withheld as a deposit. Which I didn't like. The tour is a lot of fun. But challenging because of the huge boulders. And bumpy paths. The mountain bike is qualitatively fine to make the trip. We had the bikes 2 hours. Fine to cycle the shortened route. The old road and surroundings are beautiful. The park with the old city walls and views was great. Lovely trip with a little challenge here and there. Great to do all! On my return I got everything back neatly.
Hartelijk dank voor je feedback! 🌟 We zijn blij te horen dat je hebt genoten van dit "kleine avontuur door de geschiedenis" en dat de kwaliteit van onze mountainbikes aan de verwachtingen voldeed om de hobbelige paden en de oude Romeinse kasseien te Wat betreft de ontvangst: onze excuses als het wat koeltjes overkwam. Omdat we ons midden in een beschermd natuurpark bevinden, kan de omgeving soms heel rustig en stil aanvoelen, maar we willen altijd dat onze gasten zich welkom voelen! Wat betreft het rijbewijs: het achterlaten van een document (of een borgsom in contanten/creditcard als alternatief) is een standaard veiligheidsprocedure voor het fietsonderhoud, en we zijn blij dat alles bij terugkomst netjes is afgehandeld. Fijn dat de kortere route van 2 uur langs de oude stadsmuren en de prachtige uitzichten zo goed is bevallen. Hopelijk tot een volgende keer bij Bicycle Roma! 🚲🌿
Obtain good maps of the route, if it is not straightforward. Using Google Maps on a phone mounted to the bike may be insufficient.
Grazie mille per l'ottimo consiglio! 🌟 Hai perfettamente ragione: i sentieri del Parco degli Acquedotti e del comprensorio dell'Appia Antica sono ricchi di storia, ma a volte Google Maps non traccia i percorsi sterrati in modo ideale. Proprio per questo, a tutti i clienti che scelgono il nostro servizio di noleggio bici, forniamo mappe dettagliate e consigliamo app specifiche per il cicloturismo (come Komoot o GPX tracciati da noi) che funzionano perfettamente anche offline. La sicurezza e il divertimento dei nostri ospiti sono la priorità. Speriamo di rivederti presto..,
Great way to see Rome without the crowds. Recommend you get a park map, take an extra phone battery and a refillable water bottle
Thank you so much! 🌟 You nailed it—exploring the park is hands down the best way to see Rome without the crowds. We love your practical tips! Getting a map, bringing a portable battery, and a refillable water bottle are the perfect ingredients for a smooth and sustainable adventure. At Bicycle Roma, we always have maps ready for our guests and plenty of water refill points along the way. Thank you for the recommendation, and we hope to see you back in the greenery soon! 🚲🌿
Riccardo was excellent! He was knowledgeable about the sites and was able to navigate our group safely in and out of the sites and through the Roman traffic. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for this highly recommended review! 🚲 Navigating the streets of Rome requires skill, and we are thrilled to hear that Riccardo made you feel completely safe and relaxed while guiding you through the local traffic and around the historic sites. Combining deep knowledge of the city's history with top-notch safety and group management is exactly what makes our guides so special. Thank you for riding with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another smooth and memorable tour with Bicycle Roma!
A very pleasant moment, a breath of fresh air and history.
Merci beaucoup pour ce joli retour ! 🚲 "Une bouffée d'air et d'histoire", c'est exactement la formule parfaite per décrire l'expérience au cœur du Parc Régional de la Via Appia. Nous sommes ravis que notre service de location vous ait permis de déconnecter et de profiter pleinement de ce cadre unique, entre nature et vestiges romains. Au plaisir de vous revoir chez Bicycle Roma pour une prochaine échappée verte !
Riccardo was the best tour guide! He made sure everyone stays together and genuinely cared about the group. We had so much fun during our bicycle tour and he explained everything very well. We learned a lot during our afternoon trip.
Thank you so much! We are thrilled you learned a lot and had so much fun. Riccardo truly cares about every single guest, making sure everyone feels safe and connected. He’ll be so happy to hear he made your afternoon trip special. See you next time! 🚲
Fabulous staff and a great morning out - you only need 2 hours as it’s hard going on the cobbles. Take ID. They were very accommodating as we forgot so we left our phone. Kept safely. Lovely cafe next door
Thank you for your feedback! 🚲 We are happy you enjoyed our "fabulous staff" and the quality of our bikes. You're right, those ancient Roman cobblestones can be quite a workout, so a 2-hour rental is often the perfect "taste" of the Appian Way! We were more than happy to help you out when you forgot your ID—customer service is our priority, and we're glad your phone was kept safe. We hope to see you again after another coffee at the cafe next door!
Great experience! Super bikes, good directions. Jakob helped us very well.
