We had a very good experience with our guide, Chris. It was nice to do something a bit different from the museums and churches we've been visiting.

This tour was a fantastic experience and Hans our guide did an outstanding job! He made sure everyone was comfortable using the E-Bikes and keeping up with the group. His knowledge of antiquity made it come a live. I highly recommend taking this tour and hope you get Hans to share it.

We had a great experience with Starbike Roma. Ava took two friends and me out to tour the aquaducts just outside Rome, via the old Appian Way. Ava was great company and lots of fun to have around, she knew the city really well and told us lots of interesting things. The bikes themselves were well maintained and easy to use. I can highly recommend this service.
