3 hour Tour WITHOUT the VIRTUALLY Reality :-(

Karen Hoffmann, 24 September 2025

The small group size of just six people was perfect. Our tour did not start bright and early as described. Our guide, Iman, was fantastic: knowledgeable, friendly, and kept the ride fun while sharing history. The one MAJOR disappointment was that the virtual reality goggles weren’t available, which had been a significant selling point for us when booking. I would recommend the tour, but please double-check that the VR headsets are working before you go. In fact, I think the TourGuy should have offered us a partial refund; thus, the 3-star review. When you pay for a service, you expect it to be delivered.

Great way to see Rome!

Christine Dressler, 28 August 2025

Electric bike tour is a great way to see Rome. We had a 8am tour and I would suggest you go at that time. Not too much traffic in the streets and not too hot. We traveled all around Rome and the bikes made it so much easier. The only addition I would suggest is to have ear mics so the tour guide could talk to us as we were riding to tell us about the areas we in and what we were passing. There is a great restaurant across the street for brunch. Enjoy!
