Amazing!! - Very nice tour outside Rome! Lots of ruins to see and and cycling on the via Appia is an experience in itself. Definitely worth it.

Best tour you’ll have near Rome - One of the best tours I’ve ever had. Alessio was an amazing guide and made me feel like I was with a friend riding a bike across beautiful scenery in Rome. He was very knowledgeable and I learned so much about the city and its surroundings.

A superb visit out of time - A superb bike ride on the Appian Way! The setting is beautiful and full of history, perfect for an off-the-beaten-path discovery. Many thanks to our guide Alessio, very friendly and passionate, who knows the history of Rome perfectly and made the experience even more enriching. Recommend without hesitation!

Best bike tour! - We had the most incredible time on this tour! Would definitely recommend. We loved exploring the Appian way on the ebikes. The Catacombs were wonderful to see too. It was great to get into the countryside, so close to the centre of Rome. Very easy to ride, the time flew by. Emmanuel was very kind, informative and patient. Thank you for a great time.

The one thing not... - The one thing not mentioned on the description was the ride through City Center Rome with all the people and cars. Our guide was considerate of our riding ability and careful, though.

E-bike tour - My husband and I did private e-bike tour which was great! Our guide did an excellent job in ensuring we made it through Rome safely and was very knowledgable about the areas we cycled through.

Not a family-friendly bike ride! Be prepared for a nerve-wracking and very bumpy ride. - The Appian Way and Aqueducts Bike Tour was an interesting way to see parts of Rome but it is NOT for families with children! Be forewarned that this is not a relaxing ride on a smooth bike path through a park. The first surprise was finding out that the Tiber Cycle Path next to office where you start is closed (by the city for the Jubilee) so we were forced to ride on the busy streets and sidewalks of downtown Rome to get to the Appian Way. When we were trying not to get hit by the taxis and buses, we were dodging the pedestrians who walk into the street without looking. I would never take a child on this tour. We are not wimpy, out-of-shape cyclists - it’s dangerous! At one point, we were stopped at a red light and an Italian woman was standing on the sidewalk next to me. She looked at our small group and asked (with a look of complete disbelief): “Is this a bike tour?!” My response was (only partially in jest): “Yes, a very scary bike tour that we hope to survive!” Bicycle Roma should tell customers about this when they book their tour - not when they arrive. I warned my sister who was going to Rome the following week and she asked Bicycle Roma if they could meet at the start of the Appian Way in order to avoid riding through the streets of Rome and they agreed. This option should be made available to everyone when they book. Second, once you get to the Appian Way, it’s very beautiful, but it’s a historical road made up of paving stones that make for very rough, uncomfortable riding. When the grooves between the pavers made riding too hazardous for our tires, we had to ride on a very narrow dirt path next to the street that wound around trees and had sharp turns - that wasn’t any more relaxing. The best part of the tour was after the catacombs when we were riding next to the aqueducts: it was smooth riding on a dirt path out in the countryside. Our guide was friendly and informative. It was an adventure, but be prepared for a nerve-racking and bumpy ride.
