Guidekin's take

An e-bike day out of the city: the Appian Way's old stones, the countryside of the Castelli Romani and lunch in Castel Gandolfo above the lake, in a group of about eight with a local guide.

Bike, helmet, poncho and guide are included at €104 per person, food and the return train ticket are not. It needs a few bookings to run, or you get a new date or a refund.

In our comparison: #27 of 75 in Day Trips from Rome, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
