If you are looking for a unique way to see and experience Rome, allow us to organize a private tour that includes all of the main sites in a 3 hour fun-filled cycle. See the famous landmarks such as the Trevi Fountain, the Colosseum, the Pantheon and many more! You will have a guide all to yourself, allowing you more time at the stops that interest you most, and less time spent waiting around for others. Your guide will share the history of each site with you in a fun and easy-to-understand way that will make you want to keep learning about this beautiful city well after the tour is over. Plus, we will be happy to take you to the best spots for amazing photo opportunities.
The historic center of Rome has so much to offer that it can be difficult to take it in on foot. We can easily cruise from the Imperial Forums to the Circus Maximus on our comfy city bikes and still have time to stop for some pizza or gelato; or both! You can let us know the occasion for your trip; a family reunion or birthday celebration, or just a getaway, and we’ll be sure to pair you with the best guide for your group and tailor your experience so that it is the most memorable part of your Italian vacation.
Our guides are locals who know and love their city, and they want to show it off to you! Learn about the hidden gems of Rome and experience breathtaking views of the city from various vantage points. On a private tour, we can access so much more of the city, and spend extra time taking it all in.
In addition to your private guided bicycle tour, we are happy to organize skip-the-line entry into the Colosseum or include an exclusive wine tasting just for you; simply let us know if you have other ‘must-do’s’ on your list and allow us to create the perfect bespoke experience for you in Rome. Our guides can point out the best restaurants, neighborhoods, and museums to see after the tour is over so that you don’t miss out on anything.
This tour meets at our office, located at Via dei Delfini 35/36, Rome. We are about a 5 minute walk from Piazza Venezia.

While all of our tours maintain a leisurely pace, we want our guests to have fun and be safe, so being able to ride a bike is paramount.
Our Rome Bike Tour is perfect for intermediate bike riders. You should have good balance, be able to start and stop comfortably, and be familiar with hand brakes. Most of this tour is on roads and although we stick together as a group and carve out a lane for ourselves, we ask that all guests feel confident with their riding ability. The road surfaces in Rome vary and may include cobbled streets as well as smooth gravel and pavement.
Safety is our number one priority but confidence in yourself is the first step to overall group safety.
If you're not sure how you'll fare, we invite you to come to our office about 30 minutes prior to your tour start time to try the bikes.
Yes! This bike tour is a wonderful way for kids comfortable on bikes to discover Rome. We only ask that your children have been riding for a while, are comfortable riding in a group, and can navigate riding a bike on various surfaces including cobbled streets.
Please keep in mind that children under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult on the tour. You can see a bike chart of all kid's bikes and accessories available here.
