We were on a Thomson cruise and were daunted by their 10-hour excursion to Rome (and the price) so did our own research. So glad we did! We got the train to Rome (9 euro return) and Glenn was waiting for us by the Colisseum, even though we were a bit late. Just the two of us, 65 and 64... More

We wanted to see around Rme and find our bearings in an easy way - and this was it. Glenn was a great leader, taking us around the city along safe routes and showed us all the major attractions. The food stop was fun and the easy and flexible approach was most welcome. More

really great way to start our stay in Rome - I was visiting with my 14 year old son and within 2 hours of arriving in Rome we were cycling round the Colisseum. Glenn was a safe, confident guide; the group was small; bikes were fine. I'd certainly recommend the tour More

We did two tours with Glenn--one around the city in the evening and one to the catacombs and aqueduct. Both were excellent. They were the highlight of our trip to Rome. We saw cool vistas and he knew a lot of history of Rome and Italy. He is outstanding and patient with children--we toured with three kids, ages 12, 9... More

We were a bit concerned with the "legit-ness" of this tour, considering that some companies are probably out there offering lackluster tours to dumb tourists. Immediately, these fears were replaced with excitement about the day. First, the bikes were incredibly nice, and were easy to ride even for novices. The tour guide spoke perfect english, and was able to communicate... More

The Red Bicycle Tour down the Appian Way was recommended to us by a family we met on a tour of the Catacombs of Priscilla. They guaranteed that we would not be disappointed and we weren't! It was everyone's favorite activity. Our family is very active and loves to bike so the 15 mile round trip with several long scenic... More

My son, stepson and I did the Appian Way family trip with Glenn in mid-March, on a Monday. I was initially concerned about traffic and my 11-year-old, but Glenn had it all figured out so that we would avoid dealing with cars as much as possible, and indeed it was all smooth cycling -- so to speak. The advantage of... More
