    Had an amazing time with Anna as our guide. She is highly knowledgeable about the things we saw on the tour and has brought us to a beautiful location. She cared for our safety and made sure we were all doing alright throughout the tour — it is so much fun! It was a small group so it made the tour a lot more comfortable and interesting The bikes were also well kept and the receptionist and technicians at the bike warehouse were warm and friendly too :) It was a great time. At the end of the tour Anna also gave us a lost of recommended restaurants to go to. It was so good to have something good to eat after a 4 hour cycle. Perfect end to the day

    This was a highlight of our weeklong visit to Italy! It was a great way to see a different side of Rome, enjoy the beautiful sunshine. We had ages 42-70. Most had ridden an e-bike except my 70 year old mom who rides a bike everyday but not an e-bike. She did great! Highly recommend!

  • Fantastic tour!

    This was one of the best tours I've ever been on. Our guide, Agnese, was awesome -- knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and fun to talk to. She made every stop interesting and even adapted the tour to our special interests with a couple of quick extra stops. The itinerary was an immersive blend of ancient sites, beautiful countryside, and urban backstreets. It was all very memorable, and worth it just for the conversations. By the end I was surprised that 6 hours had passed... time really flew by! When I booked the tour, I was a bit concerned about the long duration and the fact that I'd never ridden an e-bike before -- seemed like it might be exhausting and/or difficult to ride in the city. But it turned out to be easily the most relaxing day of our trip. The provided e-bikes were high quality and required very little effort to use, and Agnese took great care of us on the route, allowing us to just chill and enjoy the sights. After multiple days of walking 20,000 steps in the city, this was a huge relief! You'll probably want to have at least a little experience on mountain bikes as some parts of the Appian Way route are bumpy, but in terms of physical exertion, it's a breeze. Just make sure to bundle up and bring gloves if it's cold out. Overall I highly recommend this tour -- it's a perfect way to spend a day and see some of the coolest parts of Rome, with local guides like Agnese who seem genuinely passionate about what they do.

    Our guides knowledge of the Appian way and aqueducts was excellent and he made this a fun tour for all. The catacombs history was very interesting to see as we walked through the depths. E-bikes made this an easy bike ride and our teenagers had fun

    Our tour was amazing! We had the best guide called Bita. We had our 8 year old son and 4 year old daughter with us and Topbike had everything we needed so all of us could enjoy the tour. Beautiful scenery and good guidance and information about the places from our guide. We all loved it and would recommend this activity to all families that are traveling to Rome!

    Awesome tour with Nami! Book with confidence, the bikes are top notch too. Most of the tour are off road through parks, Via Appia, Park of the Aquaducts, Ancient Wall. Refreshing perspective being outdoors compared to inside the museums or monuments.

  • Just great!

    The e-bike tour with our guide Oscar was one of the highlights of our trip to Rome and a great change from the city hustle and bustle. The bikes were very high quality and the guide just great. I was there with my 13-year-old son and he too was thrilled. The aqueducts are really impressive, but the pizza break was also great. Attention was always paid to the safety of the participants. If we come to Rome again, we will repeat this tour. Thank you so much!
