She made took good care of the group around the busy city streets.
We chose normal bikes instead of the E-bikes which was great as the route was almost flat. They were clean and well maintained. Everyone at Top Bike made us feel welcome.
Great to get out into the countryside. The visit to the catacombs and aqueducts was interesting and we had a hearty lunch included (with wine - this is Italy after all!)
I would definitely recommend the tour.

I have done many mountain biking and cycling tours. This was the best, not so much Rome is the best city, but rather it was Myrice. She just make the tour a huge difference
The lunch was delicious and comprehensive.
