So if you are searching for the best bike tours in Rome, this is it! Whether you are looking to experience the spectacle and charm of Rome’s city center, or you are eager to leave the hustle and bustle of the city for the beauty that lurks in its expansive green areas – we have just the tour for you.
For starters, our staple tour of central Rome is the 4-hour Rome Highlights E-Bike Tour. It can be the ideal introduction to many of the city's must-see sites: from the Colosseum to the Pantheon and from Piazza Navona to the Villa Borghese gardens, this 14-km (8.5 mi) itinerary is a succession of jaw-dropping sights. To make the most of this experience, we recommend you to join us just after arriving in the city. Not only will the ride help you map out this central area of the city, but through our guide's explanations you will also benefit from a general historical framework which will doubtless be useful for all your further discoveries in the upcoming days of your stay.
Full Day Electric Bike Tour Rome: Italy at its best
Rome wasn’t built in a day, but with an E-bike you can see it in one!
If you are eager to see even more and go even further than on our 4-hour tour, join us on our 7-hour Rome in a Day tour. This is our most extensive Rome E Bike tour, covering 25 km (16 mi) on its quest to see nearly all of the top highlights (including S. Peter's square, Castel Sant'Angelo, and a breath-taking view from the Janiculum Hill).
A full day experience of Rome should never neglect the central role of culinary tradition for the city's cultural identity - as well as its day-to-day life. Which is why on this activity you will also enjoy a lunch in one of our favorite Italian trattorias!
Our Off-the-Beaten Track Tours

You've already visited the city center and you are ready for an epic off-the-beaten-path ride? Away from the city, in the midst of nature and some of the most impressive remains of the engineering genius of ancient Romans?
If your heart starts beating a little faster as you read this, our Ancient Appian Way, Catacombs and Park of the Aqueducts tour is the perfect activity for you: a ride that has been reviewed by our guests as one of the best bike tours Rome can offer. Gear-up with our E-mountain bikes and join us on a ride on one of the most important Roman roads, towards the stunning Ancient Aqueducts.
The 6-hour version of this excursion includes a visit of the famous catacombs of St. Callixtus or St. Sebastian.
In this 27-km (17-mile) bike trip we explore the history- and landscape-rich countryside of Rome, riding predominantly on off-road surfaces including unpaved roads and dirt paths. For this reason we rate the ride as intermediate in difficulty, but rest assured: this itinerary is perfectly accessible for anyone who can confidently ride a bicycle! As on any other E bike tour of Rome, here too we chose all the safest and easiest route options available (including bicycle lanes where possible).
Our Panoramic Rome Bike Tour
We tailored our 4-hour Panoramic Tour especially for travelers who adore scenic views. Though all of our itineraries will tempt your camera at every turn, this excursion tops all others in the photographic opportunities it offers. If you like to see the city at large and gaze at the surrounding hills, the iconic buildings and church domes of the city from a higher ground, this may just be the Rome E-Bike Tour for you. Discover how photogenic the "Eternal City" can be from a birds-eye perspective!
With one of our skillful guides, you will discover the Garden of Oranges, and you will weave through the alleys of Trastevere before pedaling up to the "roof" of the city - Janiculum hill. After the pleasant downhill ride you can rest your wheels on the kickstand to marvel at the vast Saint Peter's Square, before continuing further towards several other surprises!
Beyond Rome: discovering the Italian countryside
An electric bike tour in Rome is a great opportunity to discover the remarkable fusion of history, nature and modern-day life of the Italian capital. But beauty doesn't stop when you leave the Eternal City: on the contrary, it appears even dearer, more nuanced, and perhaps - even more genuine! Italy's countryside boasts an abundance of scenic countryside, beautiful waterways and charming towns, and we've developed two itineraries that highlight these riches better than any other.
Appia Antica and Castel Gandolfo with Lunch is an outstanding tour that takes you to Castel Gandolfo (the summer residence of the Pope) and Lake Albano (a small but deep lake of volcanic origin). On this trip, we ride on the green banks of the lake and enjoy a delicious Italian lunch there, before pedaling back the complete surviving stretch of the Ancient Appian Way.
The second option, Alviano, Bagnoregio and Orvieto with Wine Tasting is a picturesque countryside ride between the regions of Lazio and Umbria, which takes you to two famous medieval hilltop towns: Civita di Bagnoregio and Orvieto. You will be impressed!

How safe are you on a Rome bike tour with us?
We all know Rome is not at the forefront of incorporating cycling infrastructure in its urban fabric. The sheer footprint of two millenia of world-shaping history, in the form of historical buildings, archaeological areas and ancient cobbles make the challenge of bike lanes unlike that of any other European city. But worry not!
After extensive drawing-board study, trial and error, and continuous re-examination of the city's street plan, we have designed carefully planned routes combining traffic-free sections with stretches of limited traffic. We rely on expertly-trained, safety-conscious local guides who will keep you safe and make you feel at ease. Safety is our top priority.
This is also why we rely on quality equipment with solid bike components from world-renowned brand Cannondale; and why we insist on thorough and regular bike maintenance. Our Top Bike mechanics know this best: all our bikes are checked after every single use in order to have components in immaculate condition. Needless to say, each and every Rome bicycle tour includes a safety helmet.
Riding with children is also a familiar sight for us, so we are very prepared: we have a wide variety of child-seats, tag-alongs and children's bicycles available. All our tours are a memorable experience for children too!
How difficult are our tours?
All our tours are marked as of either easy or intermediate level, depending on whether they run prevalently on a smooth surface or predominantly off-road. The smoothness of the ride is enhanced by the fact that we pedal with an electric bike. Rome is rather hilly, but don't let that put you off: it has never been easier to conquer than on an E-Bike!
