Sadaf was awesome!

Anne Coulton, 29 September 2025

We had a lot of fun on the Appian Way e-bike tour. Sadaf was great! She made sure the group stayed together (in Rome traffic, a little hard to do). She was nice and informative. The food could have been a little bit better, but the view from the restaurant was awesome! We had a great time, and Sadaf really made all the difference!
