The 4 Best Private Cycling Tours in Rome

1.Rome’s Best by E-bike: Guided City Tour (Small Group or Private)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 207 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $90Our pick

Cover Rome’s headline sights by pedal-assist e-bike with guides such as Giorgio, Riccardo, Alessio, and Adriana. The four-hour route uses the Tiber cycle path and quiet central streets, with stops at the Colosseum, Piazza Navona, St. Peter’s, the Pantheon, Trevi Fountain, and more. You ride past the monuments rather than touring their interiors.

“We were in Rome for a day and looking for fun ways to see some of the most popular sights in Rome. This e-bike tour was fantastic and our guide was both energetic and knowledgeable. We were on an afternoon tour (4:30 pm) which was very hot so I’d recommend bringing a backpack or something to carry water as most of the bikes did not have baskets or drink holders. The bikes themselves were great and made pedaling very easy around the crowded and hilly streets. I was hoping our tour would ride around both the Colleseum and St Peters Basillica but we could only seem them from a distance.…”

2.Private Rome City Bike Tour with quality Cannondale EBike

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 176 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $139

You’ll cover about 14 kilometers of central Rome by quality Cannondale e-bike on a private four-hour tour. Guides such as Bita, Francesca, Marco, and Valerio lead a relaxed route through the Forum area, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Villa Borghese, Piazza Navona, the Pantheon, the Jewish Quarter, and Capitol Hill.

“We did the city center bike tour, and it was amazing! We had walked a bit of the city the day before, but clearly miss so much and the tour unlocked so much more knowledge. So close to everything you want to see. Highly recommend taking this tour early in your trip to Rome to get a wonderful lay of the land.”
