Reviews for Rome: Appian Way Catacombs And Aqueducts Bike Tour
Great bike tour of the Via Apia!
Richard_G
Great tour, excellent guide, highly recommended!
The tour took us riding on e-bikes from the banks of the Tiber north of the city, across the historic center to the Circus Maximus, next on to the Catacombs of Calixtus, where we took in the guided tour, and finally on to the Via Appia, after which we rode back across the city to where we had begun. It was a great, four-hour-plus tour, with some special site seeing, and a mixture of city and countryside biking.
This was our first experience with e-bikes. The equipment was excellent, and the tour was a perfect intro to using electronic assists.
Our guide, Noam, was excellent. He adapted the pace for us, explained well how to use the bikes, provided informative descriptions of sites, answered our questions well, and was warm, engaging and attentive throughout. Riding through the city could have been stressful, but Noam made it easy.
Great tour by e-bike

E-bike ride through Rome and the Appian Way

Great guide. Really competent cyclist and we felt safe on the roads and trails. Also very knowledgeable. Interesting cycling through the middle of Rome. Didn’t go to the Catacombs but the experience was excellent. Only problem we had was that one of the e-bikes needed some attention but overall a great afternoon 😊
Great day out, wonderful way to see Rome.

I booked this trip for my 14 year son and I, but then got a bit nervous about whether I had been rash, given the somewhat hectic traffic conditions in Rome. But I needn't have worried - much of our route was along the river Tiber, or else on cycle paths. The electric bikes made it a doddle. It was a great way to see Rome and to cycle in the footsteps of St Peter down the Appian Way. Great also to have explanations of the sights we saw en route. I last visited the Catacombs in 1988 and they have lost none of their magic and mystery. My son thought 'it was alright' - high praise indeed from him :)
Great service
