Our guide Isabelle was great and gave us a lot of interesting details about the city! Also the three osterias we visited all offered us delicious snacks and wine. The bikes were comfortable and the length of the activity is just right! Thank you very much for showing us around! We definitely recommend the bike tour.

Great way to get to learn about the Arena at a reasonable price which included entry. We had a brief history of the arena outside and then proceeded inside bypassing the line up for tickets.
