“Arrive 10 mins early to ensure a fab window seat to enjoy the ride over. Loved the free icy pole given out by staff. Bit of a walk to get to the bike hire shop but the bikes were great quality and easy to ride. Get a basket for $5 extra. Worth it to carry your own bag etc. we usually get seasick and it was a bit hectic on the return trip with the wind up but all smooth sailing. Very impressed!!”

Also the brakes are close to non existent. It's lucky there isn't much traffic but the hills were hard work with the bike they supplied”

“It was very nice to be able to cycle along the ancient Appian Way for a few kilometers outside Rome. No cars or motorbikes to disturb the rural peace, just the occasional jogger or dog walker. Ruins of ancient villas, forts or shrines among the shady pine trees. It was easy to imagine what a variety of scenes this ancient highway has witnessed over the last 2300 years: merchants and travellers on foot or horseback, soldiers, pilgrims, government emissaries, ox-drawn carts, herds of cattle and goats being driven to market. The road surface can be rough at times, and you may need to ride through large shallow puddles, but who…”
