Recommended as a Break from Central Rome Tours

Very good experience to see an area of Rome we would never have seen otherwise. Took about 2 blocks to understand the e-assist bike (unless you’ve ridden one before). Some areas on the Appian Way road are moderately technical annd were difficult for my wife, but she only had to get off twice. Easy for a decent rider. Highly recommend. We did a private 2 person tour.
