Traveler reviews
Escape from hustle and bustle of Rome
This was a fantastic escape from scorching hot Rome. The trip exceeded our expectations. The villages of Castel Gandolfo and Nemi were quaint. There was a nice vibe. Also restaurants in Nemi were very good. Wild strawberries in season! Delicious. Our guide Emmanuelle was very knowledgeable and good fun.
Wonderful way to experience the Appian Way and C Gandolfo. Emanuele, what a great bloke😊
What always makes an experience worthwhile is an educated, professional and personable guide. Emanuele was all of this. The e-bike ride itself, whilst a little tricky in some places, is quite easy given Emanuele’s instructions. Appian Way is historical and beautiful. Castel Gandolfo was wonderful and picturesque. The ride surpassed expectations despite threat of inclement weather.
Fantastic day
We had a wonderful day (about 6 hours). Great tour guide (Emanuele) . Very interesting surrounding and historical monuments. Lovely time at the Oil and Wine tasting. The bikes were good and with electricity this was a easy tour although we covered over 50 km.
Amazing trip!
This was the highlight of our journey to Rome! Allessio was an amazing guide - we had a perfect day exploring the city. Our favorite part was stopping for wine, olive oil, and cheese outside the city!
Lovely experience
The tour stops at a couple of locations on the way over to lunch, where Alessio, the guide, told us a lot of interesting facts about Rome and the Via Appia. Even though it was not my first time in Rome, I still learned a lot of new stuff. The Via Appia itself is beautiful and surrounded by many ancient ruins, and even though the terrain inclines quite a bit, you won't need to break a sweat thanks to the e-bike. Lunch was simple but delicious, on the way back to Rome you can go as fast as you dare. I'd definitely recommend this tour!
