It really is off road for a large portion. My teenagers thought it was perfect to get away from all the walking of the city.”

I hadn’t ridden a bike in years much less ride an e-bike before this trip. Planned into the trip, was visiting the Catacombe di San Callisto housing (at one time) over 500k bodies, spanning over 14 Hectares (13 football fields!) underground. Later we dropped in to a aesthetic-pleasing Roman-local restaurant for a delish dining experience. In total, over 5 hours of rapturous beauty of the Eternal City away from the road traffic. Expect to be blown away by the adventure of a lifetime!”
