The ride through the city is short and we went early enough that traffic wasn't an issue. The park and open spaces made for a very relaxing day trip. Going through the catacombs was informative and not overly rushed as soany tours are. Our guide along the was shar6her love for Rome and it's rich history.
Great bike tour!

This was a great tour to get outside of the City. The aquaducts and catacombs were amazing. Nima was a great tour guide.
Awesome Time!

The itinerary was great as you passed several other sites on the way to the beginning of the Appian Way. The equipment was very easy to use. Even though it's e-bike, it's still a workout as the Appian Way is a bumpy road.
