I took a bike tour with Top Bikes out to the catacombs via the Appian Way, then to aqueduct park and also to a sheep farm for a snack of pecorino cheese with some wine. Small group, using electric assist bikes. Highly recommend. The office is just up the street from the coliseum. They also have other tours within the city of Rome. I personally am a bit reluctant to consider biking in the city traffic.

I have also taken food tours in Testaccio and Trastevere with Eating Europe. I would also highly recommend those, with my personal favorite being Testaccio rather than Trastevere, although they are both good.

We did Eating Rome’s Sunday tour of the Jewish Ghetto and Campo di Fiore. Wonderful tour!.

Only bike and food experiences in Rome or would you be interested in a recommendation for Florence too?

Wow, thanks for the ideas! I have lots of stuff to investigate now.

Patricia, I was wondering about how your Appian Way bike trip was traffic-wise. I've seen a few mentions about how much traffic there is, which was a surprise because I've never seen any photos with cars on it. How does this work? I seem to recall seeing that only Sunday was traffic-free.

Also intrigued by the many food ideas, especially the one that involves food and biking. I'm hoping the weather is dry enough for that kind of an outing.

Thank you, everyone, for jumping in so quickly with suggestions.

We enjoyed Eating Italy's Trastevere food tour in January. When we checked in our guide asked if we had any dietary restrictions. I'm sure they will be able to accommodate you if you contact them in advance of scheduling a tour.
