Discover the magic of Rome by bike
Our everyday mission is to share the magic of our city with you. As with all our tours, our afternoon/evening itinerary is studied in such a way as to avoid the crowds to the maximum. That is why on this tour we prefer to take you to the peaceful Orange Garden on Aventine Hill for a fantastic view over the city and the dome of St. Peter’s Basilica, rather than to the Trevi Fountain where it gets rather crowded in the afternoon. And as local bike enthusiasts, we opt for the small side streets of Trastevere and the romantic Piazza Navona, instead of the Spanish Steps, which tend to get busier throughout the day. In between, we will make a longer stop at the Pantheon, to give you the time to admire this intriguing ancient temple, dedicated to all the gods.
The bicycle tour starts with a stop in the heart of ancient Rome, at the Circus Maximus and the Palatine Hill. Towards the end of the tour we will make a stop at the lesser-known Theater of Marcellus in the Jewish Ghetto: a 2200-year-old theatre, which inspired the architecture of the Colosseum. We will end our time together with a breathtaking view of the Roman Forum from Capitoline Hill. Finally, we will cycle back to the shop along the majestic Imperial Forums, a real open-air museum!
You will learn about all these major highlights in the space of only 4 hours, with regular stops along the way. We also foresee one longer stop for a coffee or refreshment.
