About this experience

Your bike tour starts by meeting your guide at a central location in Rome. You'll be paired with an electric-assist bicycle, which looks like a regular bicycle but takes out most of the work of pedaling up Rome’s famous hills. Pedal away from Rome’s busy traffic, following your guide past sights like the Circus Maximus and the Castle of the Holy Angel; ride through the colorful neighborhood of Trastevere and visit popular piazzas like Piazza Farnese and Square of St. Peter’s Basilica. Climb on the Janiculum Hill for a breath-taking view of the Eternal city and ride down to the square of Saint Peter’s Basilica, then finish the tour by going on the Capitoline hill, for a view over the monumental ruins of the Roman forum.
