“This bike tour was amazing! Tour guides were excellent from start to finish. Bikes were well greased and mechanics worked well to shift appropriately riding up and down the hills. Castle tour was cool - we were able to see where they store the barrels of wine (Italian and French oak barrels) and learn about the process of wine making, olive oil, and history behind the castle. The tasting of the wine was delicious paired with a robust pasta lunch!”
Ride Rome’s Appian Way by e-bike, visit catacombs and aqueducts, and enjoy a Roman food stop on this five-hour countryside tour.
“It was great to leave the noisy city and visit the catacombes and the aquaducts. However there are a bit more roads with real traffic than what the photos suggest, so one needs to be a confident city biker if he or she wants to keep up with the group. Having said that it was still one of the best programmes, the only one which allows a tourist to engage himself by the sight of the wonderful ruins, without the noise and crowd.”

Everything from preparations to check in , riding & drop off went very smooth due to great service & instructions. Winery was beautiful & relaxing reward after the more challenging part of the rlde.
