It was a very organized tour. Our guide was Anna. She was organized, pleasant and very knowledgeable.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you very much for this great review. An excellent comment is always a good fuel that drives us to improve our services.
This should be your first trip when getting to Rome, we saw all the sites in the four hour E-Bike tour. Now we can determine what we really want to see. Adriana was amazing, her knowledge of all the sights was beyond comprehension. It really helps that she has a masters degree in History. The bikes made this trip effortlessly and the distance travelled was incredible.

Dear John,
Thank you for the wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you had an incredible e-bike tour and that Adriana’s impressive knowledge made your introduction to Rome so memorable.
We appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again soon!
Our tour guide was wonderful, but groups of 30 are a little large for the basilica. It was very in depth, but also had to rush a little to get all 30 people through

Mia was amazing! She was very knowledgeable about our destination. Such a great experience! I would definitely use this company again.
Alexandra made the visit memorable. Her depth of knowledge shows she really cares about the history and wants to provide that save value to her customers
Anna did a fantastic job of sharing the highlights of St. Peter's Basilica in a fun way. She engaged everyone in our group including younger kids. She remembered where we were all from and made connections our different backgrounds! Even advocated for us on our behalf when we were waiting in the hot sun for the dome climb. Loved it!
I love how our tour guide was very passionate about the history of Catholicism. He was very friendly and worked well with accommodations needed across the group.
