Very good bike hire in a prime location - right on the Via Appia Antica and bus stop on the doorstep. Good bikes and if the battery goes on strike on a long tour, someone comes round immediately to replace it and the tour can continue. Very nice service. Our recommendation!

Get the mountain bikes for bumpy Roman era roads. Great instructions to get to aqueduct. Beautiful. Very happy with experience!

Great to Go outside the City. Biking IS easy but Mountainbike you should get for bumpiness. Invest the 8€ allong the path to See the different sites, its worth it!

julianne_s

I loved every minute of this bike but warning it’s rough terrain so Really recommend the E bike! I upgraded to a better bike and enjoyed my experience way more than if I had just had a regular one diffuser spectacular and the scenery is just magical it was so fun to do it on a bike.

Extremely interesting, sometimes challenging cycling through this ancient Italian landscape!! The ride is slow & go with plenty of side details to absorb. The To and Fro for the trail access was, um, tricky. I have two suggestions: Bike mirrors & lights for safety // clearer Map drawn with graphics (roads, directions, paths) designated. Riding along side the speedy traffic was horrendous for me. Take my ideas please, before someone is hurt. Thanks all, Paul Marinello 06/23

As advertised. They provided a detailed map, and the staff was helpful explaining the route including a detour to Aqueduct Park. Pack a pair of bike shorts, it’s a bumpy road.

Great trip along the Appian Way. Staff very helpful and the two e- bikes we rented were in good condition. Most of the road is cobbled and a bit treacherous in the heavy rain we had for an hour. Once the sun came out this was a breathtaking day out.

Bikes were in very poor condition. Very poorly maintained, chains kept coming off both our bikes, they were noisy, gears constantly grating. Don’t think they had seen a drop of oil in a long time. While the route on the Via Appia Antica is lovely and worth doing, I would not recommend hiring bikes from this outlet.

Such a great day out from the city. The Appia Antica Bike Rental was easy to book, and they were nice enough to allow me to change the days after i had booked. Very friendly and helpful staff, would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to hire some bikes for a great relaxing ride down the way.
