This tour was our favourite day in Rome- so unexpected, an oasis of calm, so green and such stunning vistas so close to the bustling city centre.

This was a really good tour. The welcome when we arrived, the introduction to the e-bikes (first time for me, was wonderful!), and then the tour itself. So nice to get out of the city and appreciate the countryside as well as the amazing roman sites. Would definitely recommend!
