Great tour of the Appian Way - Awesome tour. Our guide gave us a lot of great information about architecture and Roman history across the ancient times, Middle Ages and Renaissance. The e-bikes made riding really easy. We were blessed to have perfect blue skies for the whole day.

Beautiful Ride through the City and Countryside - This tour was very fun (6 hour version), catacombs were okay but skipping them for the 4 hour one would be fine. The aqueducts were very cool to see up close, and riding in "the open country" while still in Rome was beautiful. The ebikes make this tour suitable for almost anyone, as you can adjust the assistance to change how much you work and even on the lowest setting, I never sweated expect maybe going uphill. Favorite part was going down and away from the city and turning back to see the gates that were so massive up close to be just tiny dots in the distance 😄

One of my highlights of my 2-week trip! - The bike route was perfect. I enjoyed the little escape from the city center and exploring a little bit of the countryside. Marie was very kind and thoughtful about making sure everyone could manage the ride and explaining all the stops to us. Meeting point was very clear and easy to get to. The weather was beautiful—crisp and chilly but still sunny and not too cold. Highly recommend making your trip in late Nov/early Dec if you are OK with chilly weather. I went on my own and felt very included and a part of the group.

Wonderful tour, would highly recommend! - We had an amazing time on this bike tour with Marie! It was such a fun way to see parts of Rome we wouldn’t have otherwise seen on our trip. Marie handled a small “bump in the road” beautifully and we would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone interested. Be prepared for a true intermediate course where you’ll have to deal with some of the city streets and the unevenness of old stone and cobble stone, but it was always enjoyable and a great experience!

Great bike tour - We had a beautiful day for this during the off season. It was perfect. Our guide was knowledgeable, patient and kind. We loved going through some of Rome and seeing the aqueducts and the Appian Way. The electric bikes made it fun too.

Perfect complement to busy, touristy Rome - After a few days in the busy, tourist-filled, Rome, this was the perfect tour. Our guide, Bita, was terrific and the route was peaceful and gorgeous; we saw a side of Rome I didn't know existed.
