As per my review above - The Appian Way bike tour was great. Our guide, Laura, was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and took care to ensure that our group was safe as we rode through the streets of Rome. The visit to the catacombs and aqueduct was very interesting and amazing. It was a wonderful day for a bike ride and the picnic lunch “hit the spot”. The countryside was spectacular; quite a contrast from the hustle and bustle of Rome. I would highly recommend it.

Love the bike ride - We loved our bike tour. Our guide Julian was great! He checked frequently if we are all still ok and attended needs we had. It was an awesome bike drive on Via Appia!

Fantastic Tour. Please sort out your communications!! - Once we started it, this was an excellent tour and great value. Richard, our guide spoke perfect English and was charming and knowledgable. The catacombs were incredible, ebikes made the whole trip a joy. We thoroughly enjoyed our delicious lunch in the park. Now, you need to sort out your communications! We couldn't open any of the emails you sent and no one replied when reached out. I see that some others thought this trip was a scam because of this. Please sort it out. We were quite stressed because of this before joining the trip which is such a shame because everything else was brilliant. Thank you.

DO NOT TAKE THIS TOUR - No one showed up for our 9 am tour. We had to find the correct number to call. Finally got a hold of someone and she said the guide didn’t show up for work that morning. No one contacted us to let us know. She assured us that someone would be available for the 3 pm tour. We did have a guide for the 3 pm tour but it wasn’t what I expected. The tour is 28 km. My pedal assisted e-bike only worked for part of the tour. I had to pedal it like a regular bike… and e-bikes weigh more than regular bikes! There was no audio in the helmets so I really didn’t know what I was seeing. We were given 20 minutes for the picnic. The tour guide was adamant that we get done by 7:30 pm and pushed everyone to keep up his pace. I would not recommend this tour.

NEVER EVER BOOK WITH THE RED BICYCLE COMPANY - I wish we had a story to share. But the story is that the tour company guide never showed up, they never answered their phone and never reached out to say what happened. Was it a scam? Don't know but I want my money back NOW!

The Guide never showed up!!!! - The Guide never came. We were 11 people waiting. We called the service tour operator Tea red bicycle tour: receptionist spoke neither French, nor English nor Italian, only Spanish. Fortunately, one of the participants spoke Spanish. She told us that the Guide had a last minute problem....she thought we were only 2 or 3 people, and did not see fit to notify us???!?!!! Day wasted!.

No no no! - Our tour was cancelled just when we arrived at the meeting point. Our tour guide could not access the bicycles and the owner would not offer any alternatives and told us to individually contact our tour companies for a refund. It was a horrible experience and would never use this local tour company. We are still waiting for our refund from Viatour.

Very Disappointed - Extremely disappointing! Tour operator did not even expect us and we were a group of 8. Since they did not expect us we were unable to go which was very disappointing. No one admitted fault to this mistake and no refund was offered by the tour operator. I had to contact Viator who says they are refunding at least my 2 tickets sometime today.

Very Disappointed - We booked with Viator months ago and we had a confirmed 2pm October 7th 2024 date. Others in our group booked directly with them. When we got to the meeting address early there was no one there just a graffitied gate. We waited until our 2pm time when a small group on old looking bikes showed up to the gate. We waited patiently for the other group to leave and expected to be greeted by the guide. When she did not greet us we approached her and she stated there were no other tours scheduled for that day and wanted to see proof of our appointment. 6 in our group showed her their confirmation emails which she seemed to question and she was really surprised to see my Viator ticket for 2. We were all very upset and simply asked for a refund and she told us she would have to talk to the owner. She then said they could fit us in at 3pm if she had enough bikes, what?? We stated due to arranged plans later in the evening we could not altered from the 2pm time which by now was already 2:20pm. Everyone wanted a refund but no refund was offered. I had to contact Viator to handle this and I am now being told that the tour operator has 72 hours to respond to their email. All we wanted was to be refunded but no refund has been yet to be offered. Now I have to argue with Viator, my credit company and sit up writing this. Not Happy

Guide never showed up - I booked this trip months in advance. The day before the trip I was charged and a confirmation was sent for 10am. I checked and the email message confirmed 10am Sunday morning. We arrived at the meeting point at 9:45 am. We then waited 45 minutes and the guide never showed up. We called Red bike tours and texted them with no response. At 11:08am we got a text that said “hello”. They had totally missed the tour. We looked back at reviews and the same thing had happened the previous Sunday. If you book this trip, beware of Sunday bookings as this seems to be a trend.
