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!

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

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 ! 🚲🌿✨
