Panoramic Rome Off-the-beaten-track Tour with Cannondale Ebike
Description
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.

I had an incredible time on the tour; I traveled alone, and this activity helped me meet people and understand some things about Rome. I highly recommend it. The guide was spectacular.

It was a blast! So beautiful and fun to get outside the city, to see breathtaking archeological treasures, and to move my body while zooming up hills -- easy but invigorating at the same time. I loved every minute of this tour and would do it again
Everything perfect, from the staff who manage bookings, the bike and safety accessories in very good condition and our Meghan guide with details and comments during the tour. It is a fun and different way to tour Rome.
The tour with Irina was excellent. Really good explenation of all the history or Rome. We had a wonderfull afternoon 10/10
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring the history of Rome with Arina. We are happy to know the tour made your afternoon so memorable! Valerio
Excellent tour. Tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about Roman history. Good to get off the beaten path. Highly recommend.
Very nice and varied tour with a super accompaniment in Dutch by Youp. All the important sights are covered and you get a very broad view of Rome that I had not seen before.
The tour was just as described- the bikes were so easy to use, our guide was great and very knowledgeable, and we saw Rome from a whole different viewpoint!
Thank you, Evalyn, for this review! We are always proud to see that our commitment leads to a pleasant experience for those who rely on us! We are enthusiastic about showing Rome from a different point of view and we are proud when we succeed! We hope to see you again soon, Best Regards, Simone TopBike Rental&Tours
Super nice route, doable with electric bike. Visited many beautiful places, both known and unknown parts of the city. Highly recommended!
We’d booked a panoramic tour and were offered an alternative when there weren’t enough people on our route. We were glad we went. Nima was knowledgeable and fun and we felt well-briefed and safe. We saw so much more of the city than we would have done on foot and yet the pace was relaxed and we didn’t feel rushed. There was even time for ice cream. One tip: we wouldn’t recommend this for peak season. Even in November, it was as crowded as we would have wanted to experience by bike. But for this weekend? Just great!
Amazing and fun tour. Our guide, Klass, was very fun, enthusiastic, and informative. While the activity level is “easy” you still are biking and moving your legs for 4 hours so while the e-bikes do most of the hard work you still need to be able to manage riding a bike for a lengthy period of time. It can also be a rough (bumpy)ride getting through the small cobblestone of Rome. That being said, seeing Rome on bike was amazing. We did the Panasonic tour of Rome and the views we got to see were spectacular. We would not have been able to see the back roads and streets we travelled had we been in a car. And being on an e-bike sure beat walking! Loved the tour!
Dear Renee, Thank you for taking the time to write us a review! We could not agree more: Rome has some breathtaking views and being able to reach them by e-bike makes everything more enjoyable! Hope to have you ride with us once back to Rome! Kind regards, Caterina
