A must do in Rome

Jim_B, Apr 2024

This tour ended up being the highlight of our trip to Rome. Our guide was incredible, knowledgeable, and very friendly. We got to see a lot of the countryside and learn history along the way. Our guide was more than happy to bike at our pace, which was pretty fast but numerous stops for pictures. I don't bike often but the e- bike made it so easy and fun. I highly recommend this tour!

Response from Host, Jun 2024

History of Rome by e-bike.

I believe that on a hot October afternoon, my wife and I had a unique experience. Not only because it turned out to be a private tour, but above all for the fact that we were accompanied by Matteo. With his passionate, engaging, and very interesting stories along the way, he helped us discover a past world full of real characters grappling with conquests and power. The Appian Way, built with the intent of being able to supply the Roman troops grappling with the Samnites, the various tombs of wealthy Romans, so as not to be forgotten and disappear into the dark Tartarus, the history of the 11 aqueducts, explained in a pleasant and exhaustive way against the backdrop of a fairytale landscape, and finally the visit to the underground labyrinth in the Caffarella park, are all beautiful fragments that together contributed to a unique and highly recommendable experience.

: "Un'esperienza unica... uno sfondo da favola!" – Grazie di cuore per questa recensione così meravigliosa, poetica ed emozionante! 🚲✨ Matteo è stato immensamente toccato nel leggere le vostre parole. Per lui non c'è soddisfazione più grande che far rivivere la grande storia di Roma — non come una semplice lista di date, ma come un racconto vivo fatto di uomini, conquiste, ingegno e desideri d'eternità. Sapere di avervi regalato, in un caldo pomeriggio d'ottobre, un viaggio nel tempo tra i basoli dell'Appia Antica, la maestosità degli acquedotti e la suggestione della Caffarella ci riempie d'orgoglio. Grazie di cuore a te e a tua moglie per aver scelto Bicycle Roma e per aver condiviso questo splendido ricordo. A Roma sarete sempre i benvenuti!

Take a bottle of water that you will be able to refill at the numerous fountains on the road. A jacket for the labyrinth is welcome.

Un grand merci pour ce super conseil et pour votre avis si utile ! 🚲✨ Vous avez tout à fait raison : remplir sa gourde aux "nasoni" (nos fontaines romaines traditionnelles) et prévoir une petite veste pour le frais des catacombes, c'est le combo parfait pour profiter pleinement de la balade le long de la Voie Appienne ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé un bon moment avec nous. Merci d'avoir pédalé avec Bicycle Roma, et au plaisir de vous revoir pour une prochaine aventure !

Beautiful

Great experience. An excellent bike trip that allowed us to discover exceptional places of Rome, outside the tourist overmass and enhanced by an excellent guide, Matteo, helpful and who taught us many things. Thanks again to him for an excellent afternoon

Un immense merci, Ingrid ! Nous sommes ravis que cette sortie en e-bike vous ait permis de découvrir une Rome authentique, loin de la "sur-masse touristique". C’est exactement l'expérience que nous souhaitons offrir. Matteo sera très touché par vos compliments sur sa connaissance et sa serviabilité. Ce fut un plaisir de partager cet après-midi exceptionnel avec vous. À bientôt pour de nouvelles découvertes ! 🚲🌿✨
