About this experience

N.1 Outdoor Tour Operator in Rome on Tripadvisor!

Join our expert and safety-conscious guide aboard a quality E-Bike with anti-puncture tires and comfortable seat, for a discovery of Rome set between the golden twilight hour and cool evening atmosphere!

This tour is offered in two versions: a 4-hour version and a 2,5-hour version. The two itineraries are identical, but the 4-hour version also includes a dinner in an Italian trattoria.

Cycling with no effort, on this night tour you will discover the Eternal City’s best-known highlights and best-kept secrets: from the Colosseum at sunset to the Pantheon set in dusk, and from the sparkling shine of the Trevi Fountain to the mysteriously lit Imperial Forums. See also the famous Spanish Steps, and ride through Rome’s charming alleys to discover little-known spots, such as the Jewish neighborhood and the Theatre of Marcellus.
