Ride an e-bike along the Appian Way from Rome to Castel Gandolfo.

What an amazing experience! A lifetime memory to be sure! Between the mind blowing surroundings and knowledge you are following in the footsteps of Romans, soldiers, citizens, merchants and slaves throughout centuries- and the gorgeous landscape and scrumptious food- this is an experience not to be missed. Our guides Alessio and Adriano were superb and Alessio shared so much history, taking time to show us history you would breeze by if cycling on your own. Worth every cent and more! Quick note for understanding the type of ride this is-you need to be comfortable on uneven roads, rocks and more rocks, and navigating through some traffic areas. If you’re looking to feel the Italian landscape, history and earn an amazing lunch- this trip is for you!

Even the best guide cannot guarantee a risk-free adventure! Emmanuele was a wonderful guide. This was the first time my wife and I had used e-bikes. He explained how they worked and allowed us time to acclimate using them. He also went into detail explaining the terrain, which on the Appian Way, although flat was paved with large irregular shaped lava pavers. What he couldn’t control for was the fact that my shoes kept sliding off the pedals [I usually use cages and bike shoes]. Shortly before we transitioned to a more traditional surface, I bounced off a paver, and with both feet sliding off the pedals, causing me to land onto the ground and fall under the bike. Fortunately, I only suffered some cuts and bruises. We were able to walk to a bar, to get washed and bandaged up. We then proceeded to continue by car to the Castello Gandolfo and then ultimately returning to Rome by train. Throughout the trip, Emmanuele was supportive, helping us to safely accomplishing our goal of getting to the Castello. Despite the fall, it was a positive experience overall. Our only recommendation to prospective clients would be to have some experience before e-biking on the Appian Way, and wear proper foot gear. The lesson learned however is, this should not be your “first rodeo” on an e-bike!!

Great, for those who like biking and are interested in Roman history. And it doesn't even need to be in good shape (e-bikes).

We had an absolutely fantastic day cycling from Rome along the Appian Way to Castel Gandolfo and back, and Alessio made the experience unforgettable. His knowledge of the history, culture, and landmarks along the route was exceptional, bringing the ancient Appian Way to life with fascinating stories and insights. He struck the perfect balance between being informative, engaging, and fun, while always making sure everyone in the group felt comfortable and safe. The ride itself was beautiful, with stunning scenery, ancient ruins, and spectacular views around Lake Albano. Alessio’s enthusiasm for Rome and its history was contagious, and his passion for sharing it made the experience so much more meaningful. If you’re looking for a unique way to experience Rome beyond the typical tourist sites, we highly recommend this tour—and especially Alessio as your guide. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy!
