A memorable way to experience Rome
We had a great experience with Demetri. He is a wonderful historian and storyteller. We enjoyed the itinerary, especially riding on the Appian Way in the countryside. He made a video of our trip which is special to us and was fun to share. The ride was a little more challenging than we expected, so we were glad we upgraded to e-bikes. Also recommend opting for helmets as the beginning and end of the tour are bike lanes on urban streets around the colosseum until you pass the city walls. Definitely a memorable experience!

Cycling through Roman history.
Dimitri is very knowledgeable of the history of Rome which he enthusiastically shared. From his cycling experience in Rome he was able to avoid the most heavily trafficked streets. Most of the cycling was on dedicated bike paths, side streets, or dirt paths which I gratefully appreciated. The pace was comfortable and I had a wonderful experience.

Awesome bike tour of Rome!
What a fun way to end our trip in Rome. If we would have met Dimitri sooner, we would have booked all of his tours! We were 45 min late for our tour because we got lost and he waited for us and then still extended the tour! He is a great guide and gave us fun facts about everything Rome! My kids loved it.

Another side to Rome
Super experience with knowledgeable Dimitri -a nice blend of Roman history and Ecclesiastical-a fabulous trip into the countryside where we availed ourselves of shaded leafy cycle ways .interesting views of aqueducts and via appia .Dimitri stopped many times to allow us to replenish our bottles at the numerous drinking fountains that peppered the route .A most cheerful & informative guide.He also phoned me a day prior to ensure that we were happy to still take the tour in the heat -and as I still wished to -he offered to meet up an hour earlier than planned to escape the rigours of the sun .He edited a lovely souvenir video of our 4 hours -.Also pointed us in the direction of a nice restaurant for lunch after our trip.

Dimitri was just awesome!
Dimitri was a fountain of historical knowledge. He is very proessional and truly enjoys what he does, which we truly appreciated. This 25 km tour was a great ride where we saw multiple points of interest within Rome and several points of interest outside of Rome in more rural type or "hidden gem" areas. We highly recommend Dimitri and his team.

Biking tour along the Appian Way
I booked this tour to learn about the Roman history and explore the area on bike and Dimitri did not dissapoint. He has such a vast knowledge of Roman history and told the stories behind the events. The first part of the tour was a lot of history (Colosseum, Circus Maximus, the Gate of San Sebastian, etc..) with the second part of the tour biking through the Roman country side and parks. Dimitri always took time to answer our questions and we went at a comfortable pace. This was the highlight of our visit to Rome and we're so pleased that we booked this biking tour. Well worth the time and money. Highly recommended.

Outskirts of rome
This was the highlight of my Rome trip. We saw way more then we would have on foot. Being outside of the city was beautiful, we seen goats and farms and lots of ruins. Dimitri was lovely and gave us a really good overview of the history of Rome. This trip was better then expected and a great morning. You won't regret it.

Best Way To See ROMA
Dimitri, the tour guide, is one of the most kind people I met during my long years of traveling.
Very knowledgeable, experienced, and supportive.
From the moment I met him until the very end, he had a smile 😃 on his face.
I really enjoyed the cycling tour of around 26KMS inside and on the outskirts of the Eternal City, Rome❤️.
I strongly recommend to everyone to experience this tour as it is the best way to see the city, which is literally an open museum.

Unforgettable bike tour with the amazing Dimitri
This bike tour was so much more than it appears. Dimitri is a font of knowledge. His stories and knowledge of Ancient Rome are second to none. This is what turned a great bike ride into a fabulous tour. We got to experience so many places that we would not have seen had we not ventured out. For me, cycling around the colosseum was the highlight! For my husband, cycling along the Appian Way in the footsteps of countless legions was his personal highlight. Dimitri is personable, approachable and encouraged questions. We covered a wide variety of topics! We would highly recommend this tour.

The best experience you could ever do in Rome.
This bike experience surpassed my daughters and my own expectations! Dimitri was friendly and so knowledgeable about the sites we saw and the history of Rome. We loved riding past the city and into the countryside which was beautiful. Even though it was winter, the ride was exhilarating, easy to complete, warm and so scenic. Our favourite day of our European trip. We would do it again. Thanks Dimitri!
