Rome Bike Tour Reviews

1. Rome in a Day Cannondale E-Bike Tour with Typical Italian Lunch

If you’re looking for a proper Rome electric bike tour, look no further than the Rome in a Day Cannondale E-Bike Tour with Typical Italian Lunch. This 7-hour excursion shows off its labyrinth of history, art, culture, and cuisine in a seamless itinerary designed to keep you engaged throughout the experience.

Maximize ground coverage with an e-bike there to boost your pedaling power, so you don’t have to work up a sweat in order to see all the best sights.

Equipped with top-tier Cannondale bikes, you’ll simply glide past iconic landmarks like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and Trevi Fountain, with minimal effort. The electric assist is actually super powerful, making even the ultra-steep inclines at spots like Aventine Hill a breeze, allowing for laid-back exploration.

Start off by meeting your guide in the city center, don your included helmet, and put all your valuables in the handlebar bag before setting off.

The exact itinerary won’t always be the same as it does depend on your start time, weather, and other variables, but you’ll still hit all the same sights. One of my favorite parts of the day was heading up to Fagutal Hill (which I thought was going to be more like Fatigue Hill, but thankfully my bike put in the work for me).

You’ll get some incredible Colosseum views that many tourists miss out on, before heading to Piazza Venezia, and the Trevi Fountain. I loved pedaling through the tranquil Villa Borghese Gardens, getting a bit of a breather in before finally taking a break for lunch at a traditional Italian trattoria.

We had some incredible appetizers, and I chose a pasta dish, though their pizza is also quite tasty, from what others in my group mentioned. After, you’ll see the St. Peter’s Basilica and some lesser-known local gems, so make sure to fuel up!

2. Rome: Appian Way E-bike Tour with Catacombs, Aqueducts & Food

If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Rome’s city center and step into more of its natural beauty, along with less commonly-viewed sights.

The Rome: Appian Way E-bike Tour with Catacombs, Aqueducts & Food experience is one of the best options if you’re into history or simply want to learn far beyond what standard tours offer. Appian Way is one of the earliest and most important roads of the Roman Empire, offering a look into the past while enjoying the convenience of modern electric bikes.

Start by meeting at the bike shop where your guide and the rest of your small group will be waiting, listening to a briefing before doing a little spin on your e-bikes to ensure everyone feels comfortable riding them.

We all got to choose between either a full suspension e-mountain bike or regular e-bike – I chose the former and it was so smooth and easy to use! Right from the very beginning, our guide did a wonderful job of communicating himself, sharing interesting stories about the area and its history.

We started out at the catacombs, which were absolutely fascinating to learn about and I admittedly had no idea Rome also had some. Our guide was very respectful while still regaling interesting, accurate historical accounts, then passing various ruins as we pedaled.

The Park of the Aqueducts was also quite interesting, offering a quiet little break from the hustle and bustle of the city. We then took a well-deserved break to try typical Roman dishes and I can confidently say they were easily some of my favorites!

3. Rome by Night-Ebike Tour with Food and Wine Tasting

Rome’s ancient streets are overflowing with history, and there’s no better way to explore them than on two wheels – more specifically, electric ones. While bus tours can be comfortable and convenient, it feels a bit separate from the reality of the city sometimes.

As soon as the sun goes down, Rome becomes a whole different place – check it out in the best way with the Rome by Night E-bike Tour with Food and Wine Tasting!

This 4-hour experience starts off with you meeting up with your guide around 7 pm, with friendly staff making the check-in process smooth and quick so you can focus on the fun stuff.

Our guide was a ton of fun right off the bat, ensuring we all had our helmets, mobile phone holders, etc., so we didn’t lose anything and were all ready for the adventure that lay ahead. Our group was all-ages, from some elderly people to teenagers, but everyone was excited and having a great time right from the beginning – the vibe was perfect.

At night, the energy just feels magical – not just the warm glow the city becomes enveloped in, but the fact that there’s hardly any traffic or masses of travelers walking around. It feels like the city is yours, alone, and even if you’ve already seen all the major sights, you’ll experience them differently at this hour.

You’ll learn all about them from your guide, but they’ll also take you to some hidden gems that you surely haven’t discovered yet. If that weren’t enough, you also get to enjoy a welcome drink, some local wine samples, and some local dishes that perfectly exemplify local cuisine.

As our group was so small, it felt more like close friends just enjoying a night full of great food and great sightseeing, with plenty of entertaining stories. I’d do this tour over and over again, and I can’t recommend it enough!

4. Rome by Night eBike Tour with Pizza Option

Next up is another fantastic evening option: the Rome by Night eBike Tour with Pizza Option. It’s slightly shorter than the previous tour, as we won’t be doing the wine tasting portion – rather, you have the option to enjoy traditional Roman pizza in the midst of your explorations after dark.

Here, you’ll get to see the aspect of Rome that so many people miss out on when it comes to sightseeing! Guided by passionate locals, you and the rest of your small group will set off through Rome’s illuminated streets, discover hidden gems and lesser-known landmarks along with some major sights.

Start out by getting your e-bike and helmet – you can also request a child seat if they’re under 25kg, which makes it ideal for quite literally all ages! The e-bikes proved to be super easy and smooth to ride, which also made it convenient for different fitness levels.

Aside from the more “authentic” stuff that is usually reserved for the locals, you’ll get to see the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, and other iconic spots.

If it’s your first time seeing them, you’ll have the good fortune of seeing them in a truly special way – all lit up. As you travel along, your guide is there to share interesting stories, historical accounts, and other interesting info.

I recommend taking on the pizza upgrade, as it’s the perfect way to cap off your night out in this legendary city. After all that sightseeing and pedaling, you definitely deserve it!

5. Rome Highlights by E-Bicycle

From the mindblowing archaeological sites of Ancient Rome to the breathtaking Baroque architecture throughout the city, there’s truly a never-ending supply of places to see and learn about.

The Rome Highlights by E-Bicycle is one of the best ways to go about seeing the most iconic landmarks, and if it’s your first time in the Eternal City, it’s one of the best options. Clocking in at 3 hours and with multiple start times available, it’s also super easy to fit into a busy schedule!

If you’ve been on a tour before in a popular tourist city, you may have had experiences that weren’t exactly the most enticing. Perhaps you were just part of a big crowd of people, weren’t able to hear your guide, or simply felt like you were being hurried along.

None of that happens hear – rather, you can expect an intimate tour consisting of no more than 8 participants, which means a more customized, unforgettable time out on your bike.

If you’re worried that all those carbs from the pizza and pasta are accumulating, this is a fun, exercise-friendly way to see all the sights without having to deal with the hopping on and off that many bus tours involve.

Cruise around with a fantastic, knowledgeable guide there to share some personal anecdotes just as well as interesting stories about the city’s culture and history. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them, as the dynamic of this tour is very personal and fun.

While I’m a huge fan of walking tours, you just can’t cover as much ground as you’ll be able to on a bike like this one. Not only that, but you’ll get to really take your time and see things at your leisure!

6. Rome: Top Highlights & Hidden Gems Tour by Cannondale E-Bike

Quality is of the utmost importance on the Rome: Top Highlights & Hidden Gems Tour by Cannondale E-Bike! With top-standard bikes and incredibly knowledgeable guides, you’ll gain a whole new appreciation for the city’s ancient history.

You’ll not only get to see the major landmarks, but will travel through hidden backstreets and quiet piazzas that turn this tour into something unforgettable. The meetup spot is one of the most convenient, sitting just a few minutes from the Colosseum, which is super accessible to the majority of hotels.

After we met our guide and the rest of our small group, we had a briefing on how to use our bikes, and were given a helmet and handlebar bag to use to keep all valuables safe and accessible. We then set off – the e-bike made navigating the cobblestone roads effortless, with completely unobstructed views of everything around us.

Focusing more on Rome’s city center, you don’t have to worry about trekking all over the place – not that it would be all that difficult with the electric bike assistance. The itinerary we went on was very smooth, without any lulls in between, as each of the sights are basically right next to each other.

However, that’s also because our guide new the ins and outs, complete with routes only locals would know about. Aside from massive sights like the Colosseum and Spanish Steps, you’ll have plenty of other stops, like the Jewish ghetto, Theatre of Marcellus, panoramic views of the Roman Forum, and much more.

Our passionate guide made it a ton of fun, with interactive quizzes, encouraging engagement, and personal anecdotes that took it far beyond what you’d learn from a history book.

7. Highlights of Rome Bike Tour (Including Jubilee Sights)

From busy main streets to hidden pathways, you’ll see it all on the Highlights of Rome Bike Tour (Including Jubilee Sights) experience! It’s crazy to think about just how much we were able to see and learn about in 3 hours. If you’ve just arrived to the city and are trying to get a lay of the land, I highly recommend this one!

Just like with most others I’ve covered, you’ll start by getting your bike, helmet, and bike bag and head off through the well-trodden paths and hidden corners. You get to select either a regular bike or upgrade to an e-bike if you really want to take things easy.

Along the way, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to hop off your bike and take photos – our guide was so cool he even offered to take some for us! Our group consisted of just a few people, so we were able to navigate with ease and really take our time without feeling like we were competing to hear the guide.

For this reason (and the personality of our guide), I’d say this is one of the best if you’re taking kids along. It’s a dazzling way to see all the sights, hearing engaging stories connected to each one from an entertaining guide.

This intimate, personalized experience covers major monuments, as well as some unique cafes and eateries, with a focus on architecture like the Baroque piazzas (which I LOVED). I suggest taking this tour your first day in Rome – it’s sure to not only show you great spots to explore further, but will undoubtedly change how you see the city.
