Do not miss this tour! Best tour in Rome!

5.00Hands down one of the best tours that we did in Rome. You will be biking 15 miles but with e bikes with pedal assist it’s a breeze! Sylvia was a great guide and made sure safety was first and foremost. We saw the catacombs, aquadects, beautiful scenery that you wouldn’t otherwise see on a regular guided tour. Group was small. Highly recommend!
Sylvia is the best.

5.00Sylvia was a wonderful guide. Able to negotiate many types of personality with ease. Trip was fun. Great to get away from the heat of Rome and see the countryside and soak up the history.
Catacombs = best AC in Rome

5.00Phenomenal! Our guide was great, knowledgeable, fun, light hearted. Kept us safe but not too controlling. Good pace. E bikes are so fun! I think this would be somewhat challenging if you didn’t feel really comfortable on a bike. There is some off roading, some city navigating. Highly recommend this!
Book now! If there’s space

5.00We had the most amazing time with Silvia our tour guide. She was firstly just so lovely, friendly, kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and wonderful!!!! She helped us firstly understand the bike and get confident on it, she was so informative and knowledgeable about everything we saw, she answered all our questions, she was constantly offering to take photos and videos of everyone at every stop. The tour showed us some absolutely beautiful scenes and places. The e-bikes were effortless in the 32 degree heat and there was a breeze when cycling, as I initially was a little nervous when I saw we were meant to be doing our tour in the middle of the day, in 32 degrees sunshine but it didn’t feel like that even once as the e bikes were so easy and effortless to use. This was the highlight of our trip to Rome, and we went to thank you so much for the tour and recommend that everyone does this when they visit Rome.
Best thing to do in Rome! Kudos Silvia!

5.00Silvia is a live wire of energy, fun, encouragement, positivity, stamina and knowledge. She led our tour with a lot of finesse as she created a very warm informal vibe right upfront. She trained a few of us who had not used ebikes before very very well. Her instructions were always very clear and made the whole tour a lot of fun. She especially cared a lot for me, helping me with pictures and videos through the way and patiently explaining things to just me when I needed more understanding . She has almost become a friend. I absolutely loved this tour and highly recommend everyone to take it. Top notch ebikes too.
Iman was the best

5.00When we crossed a busy intersection, Iman made sure we crossed safely. He provided delicious lunch for the group. We got a tour of the catacombs and experienced the 2000 year old Appian way. Iman was very informative, friendly, and sometimes funny. Me and my group had a lot of fun despite one group member… but we won’t go there. Overall super fun experience, definitely recommend. Iman provided water and we refilled it along the way a couple times.
History, physical activity, green spaces

5.00Highlight of our Rome visit! Great to get out of the busy city center, learn and experience the history of Rome from another perspective. You get out of the tourist zone and enjoy the natural surroundings among modern Roman citizens.
Best day in Rome

5.00Excellent experience! Our guide Bruno provided instructions for each leg of the trip and what to expect such as turns, uphill, downhill, etc. The pace was good and we had several stops to take pictures of sights along the way. After riding for about an hour, there is an hour break from riding for guided underground catacomb tour. The Aqueduct Park was great and not crowded. A pasta lunch is included with the tour then it is about half an hour ride back to the bike shop. Guide was professional, provided good instructions and was knowledgeable about the sites.
