Traveler reviews
Great tour. Great guide
Massimo was the best. Amazing tour! learnt much. he knows his stuff for sure
Great experience and Andy did a great job
Andy (Andrew Stevens) was our tour guide and he was fantastic. He had great knowledge and a good sense of humor. Also helpful with handling any issues with the bikes. Was also accommodating to stop for water refills. Would highly recommend. Quick side note - my Dad said he booked this tour online but not sure where exactly he did it through
Via Appia by e-bike
This was an excellent way to experience more if ancient Rome, get some fresh air and some exercise away from the main tourist attractions. Massimo was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide and as we were the only 2 people on the tour, it became our very own private tour! The e-bikes were convenient and very useful on the hills. The perfect way to experience the Via Appia. Thank you Massimo!
Great tour/Ama ing guide
Ricardo (Ricky) was INCREDIBLE!!! We had 3 kids in the back of bikes and he rode with one. Our little one fell asleep but Ricky held her head the whole way. He was incredibly informative, great with the other kids and kept us informed. I’m so grateful we had him as our guide. Details about Rome and the countryside were things we’d never learn otherwise. Because he is from Rome we were treated to an amazing wealth of information.
Wonderful outdoor experience!
Loved this tour! Mattia was an excellent guide and clearly loves educating others about his city. This was a great way to see a portion of Rome while being outside and getting exercise. Highly recommend!
