It was excellent and tour guide was professional and passionate. My favorite tour so far.
The tour guide was enthusiastic. The bike riding was not for beginners, or older people that aren't in shape, as we rode quite fast as well. Mostly biking on cobbly roads, bump bump bump, so just so you know, not a relaxing bike ride! hard on backs and heads....Great tour company, my husband and I did their other bike tour around central rome (we actually liked that one better as the biking was on smoother ground, and it was not as difficult a ride. (we're 53)
The appian way is beautiful and so is the surrounding areas. You are not on the appian way all that long, (the appian way goes for 560 km)_
We would have liked to have seen a bit more of it, really absorbed the experience, but the guide veered off into the countryside quite early on)
We stopped at a sheep farm , which was quite nice, and some people bought cheese and some bought lamb for a snack (cooked on the b.b.q. )
I know we would have preferred a slower ride , evn if perhaps shorter, and lots more time to take pictures. Riding the bike and filming or taking a picture was what I resorted to as the spots were too gorgeous to not get on camera, and there was no time to stop if i wanted to keep up to the group. My husband and I both agreed that we would have liked more explanations along the way, and sometimes we felt we were biking only and not really learning, which is what we really also wanted to do. Not enough time I guess to stop the group and explain more things that we saw.
Guide was knowledgable and attentive. Not for those uncomfortable with biking on city streets or off-road. Great sites! Made the trip to Rome a very memorable one.
Loved it! A beautiful part of Rome that is not to be missed!
This was a wonderful tour. The tour guide was very knowledgable and provided us with opportunities for pictures as well as questions. The tour was also paced well - not too fast and not too slow.
Excellent way to see the countryside! Very relaxing. Thorough, knowledgeable tour guide. Not like most of the tours in Rome where you felt that the tour guide was pushing your quickly through the tour. Would definitely recommend it to travellers who want to see something different at a much more easy and relaxed pace. The next time I'm in Rome on vacation, I will book another one of these tours!
The tour was excellent and a highlight of our European visit. Our guide was excellent both on the history and coordination of our route and safety. If visiting Rome this is a must do bike tour and you just need an standard level of fitness.
We loved this bike ride, we had a lovely guide Matteao who explained so much to us about Rome and Italy, he was so patient with our many questions. The catacombs were interesting and the scenery was wonderful. We loved the stop at the country villa that made cheese. For someone who hasn't ridden a bike much, the 30km was a fairly easy ride. A pleasant change from the hussle and bustle of Rome. Would recommend this tour.
This is a fun class and something that will make a great story to tell your friends. Especially if you're tired of old stuff and museums, here you get to move around hopping and ducking on the Sparticus machine. The only problem is that it's hard to find at the end of a dirt road number 18 with a barking dog and the taxi driver left me in the middle of nowhere. If you call them, they will tell you how to get there.
Amazing experience that my son will be talking about for years to come. Don't be put off by the appearance of the place down a funny lane way when you arrive. Really well done.
This was a brilliant tour - the guide (Rosa) was really good - we enjoyed it very much. It was informative and really good value
A great way to spend a couple of hours learning to fight like a gladiator in realistic arena surroundings. A little musem adds to the learning with freindly staff and relaxed atmosphere. Book AM as it was very hot PM
Guide's English was difficult to unerstand at times although she was very enthusiastic and knew her stuff.Catacombs themselves were fascinating but the different guide took too large a group.
Small group (only had 16) so felt we had a personal experience. Guide very informative and upbeat. First visit for me to the catacombs since I was 5 (more than 60 years ago) so it was a special trip. Favorite part of the trip was standing on the Appian Way and under the aqueducts. Highly recommended tour.
Fantastic experience. The museum is great. Our trainer gave us an exceptional lecture about Roman way of fighting and the way Romans conquered their enemies. He could even handle our 7 year daughter, who wants to obey any rules. Highly recommended.
