Our E-bike tour was one of the highlights of our time in Rome! Our guide Iman was super knowledgeable about the various stops on the way, and he was very communicative regarding safety and upcoming traffic crossings throughout the tour. The E-bikes were easy to figure out; you can adjust how much power they give you, which is great if you are used to riding a regular bike. The terrain varies: there is some travel on unpaved/dirt paths and old cobblestones (the original parts of the Appian Way), which we felt comfortable navigating. The lunch stop that was included was great and the Catacombs were very interesting. Would highly recommend!!

We had the best time cruising through neighborhoods, parks, trails, and of course the Apian Way! Our guide Bruno was amazing! He went above and beyond to accommodate us and was very knowledgeable. This tour is 5 hours but it flys by and the bikes do 90% of the work. Lots of stops to absorb the history and take stunning pics. Definitely a highlight for us while in Rome.

This tour starts in a neighborhood somewhat near the Colosseum and takes you out of the walled city to the catacombs, on to the Appian Way, and then to the acqueducts, returning near the city to have lunch. I loved that it was so immersive - bus/van based tours are certainly great for covering long distances, but being on a bike for this kind of tour was a new experience that my family really enjoyed. We had never ridden e-bikes before and found it very easy to learn & get around on. (You do have to be comfortable riding a traditional bike in order to participate in this tour). The tour starts at the bike rental facility; our guide made sure we were all comfortable riding the e-bike and operating the motorized assist. The company provides a water bottle for each person, and there are many stops along the way to refill your bottle with fresh, cold water. The tour at the catacombs is provided by a local guide. The site that this tour stops at is massive and takes you through several of the papal tombs as well as several family tombs (in addition walking through columns of hundreds if not thousands of other tombs). The guide explains the history of how the catacombs came to be, what their relationship is to the Roman Empire & early church, why they fell into disuse, and the history of their later discovery and exploration. (The temperature is a welcome respite from the heat if it’s a hot sunny day, which ours was). The bike tour on the Appian way was also immersive and interesting. You see ancient estates, castles, and relics of the Appian Way itself (e.g., soldier guard stations, etc). It’s also just a beautiful scenic ride that goes through several parks, including out to the acqueducts. Our guide, Silvia, made sure to keep our group together, helped make sure we crossed safely while in the city and in the presence of traffic, regularly offered to take pictures of our family together, and chose great spots to stop, give us a bit of historical background, and just enjoy the beauty of the area. The ride finishes at lunch, which was delightful and refreshing. The food was not overly complex, but it was delicious. The tour covers about 12 miles total distance, according to our guide. Even with hills and so on, this is not at all challenging with the assistance of the e-bike. You can basically lightly pedal with little to no effort & just enjoy the ride. The vast majority of this ride is on paths and roads that are closed to automobile traffic, which is beneficial both from a scenic perspective, but it also reduces the stress of any concern for interaction with cars or motorcycles. We had the good fortune to have booked this tour on a Sunday morning. This was purely coincidental to our schedule, but it worked out very well for our family because traffic was very, very light during the portion of this ride that is on city streets (as compared to weekdays in Rome).
