Itinerary
The temple is situated in the middle of the small island on the artificial lake in Villa Borghese. At that time, in fact, reproductions of ancient temples and statues were realized as a decorative landscape feature. Enjoy to the utmost this romantic corner in Villa Borghese by renting a rowboat!
The inventor Giovan Battista Embriaco built this hydrochronometer (also known as a water clock) in 1867 and displayed it at the 1867 Universal Exposition in Paris. In 1873, the hydrochronometer was placed in the Villa Borghese gardens in a fountain designed by the architect Gioacchino Ersoch. The water clock works 24/7.
If you are looking for points of interest in Rome, you shouldn’t miss the Pincio Terrace. Pincian Hill is not one of the Seven Hills of Rome, but it is a popular panoramic viewpoint among Romans. From here, you can see the historic center and the Vatican from above.
Cycle inside Villa Ada. Learn about the flora and fauna of this beautiful park.
Admire the beauties of Quartiere Coppedé

We brought a group of 40 high school students on a bike trip and we had a spectacular time. The staff was so supportive of everyone’s needs. They made safety, kindness, and fun as a top priority. I highly recommend this company, you will not be disappointed!!!
Everything was perfect, and a special mention to our guide LIBÉRONS for the knowledge he shared with us kindly and for the attention he paid to us. A very beautiful discovery of the garden and of this gentleman.
Un immense merci pour ce magnifique témoignage ! 🇫🇷✨ Nous sommes profondément touchés par vos mots. Libero (que votre correcteur a joliment transformé en "Libérons", ce qui lui va très bien !) sera absolument ravi de lire votre message. Transmettre son savoir avec gentillesse, attention et passion est sa marque de fabrique. Chez Bicycle Roma, nous croyons que la beauté des paysages et des jardins est sublimée par les rencontres humaines, et vous venez de le prouver. Merci encore pour votre confiance et au plaisir de vous revoir pour une autre magnifique découverte ! 🚲🌿 Grande et belle salutation à vous !

A walk off the beaten track very informative and really pleasant. Giorgio, our guide, is extremely friendly, considerate and knows the history of the city very well. We definitely recommend.

Merci beaucoup ! Nous sommes ravis que cette balade entre Villa Borghese et Villa Ada vous ait plu.

Ilenia was a fantastic guide!
Tack så mycket! Vi är så glada att du uppskattade din e-bike tour och att Ilenia gjorde ett fantastiskt jobb som guide. På Bicycle Roma älskar vi att visa upp de vackra parkerna som Villa Borghese och Villa Ada. Hoppas vi ses snart igen för ett nytt äventyr i Rom!
We completely enjoyed the bike tour with Giorgio. He was patient, kind, friendly, knowledgeable and spoke perfect English (he also does tours in Italian, French and Spanish). We ended up getting a private tour as there were no other guests (I thought the minimum for the group tour was 4, so we really lucked out to have Giorgio and a private tour). We had a few bumps in the trip, which Giorgio handled with grace. First, there was an international meeting being held in a building on the route, and the normal tour route needed to be adjusted. Second, one of our bikes got a flat tire. Giorgio gave his bike to my husband and rode the bike with the flat tire. Third, while my husband was riding Giorgio's bike, Giorgio's back pack fell off the bike, and it wasn'tniticed until we stopped for him to share some information with us. Giorgio had to retrace our route to retrieve it. Thank you for a wonderful day!
Thank you so much for this detailed and kind review! We are so glad you had a wonderful day with Giorgio. You’ve perfectly described why we value him so much: his grace and professionalism shine even when things don’t go exactly as planned. From rerouting due to city events to handling a flat tire by giving up his own bike, Giorgio’s priority is always the guest's experience. We’re also relieved his backpack was safely retrieved! At Bicycle Roma, we believe the best tours are those where you feel safe and cared for, no matter what. See you next time for more Villa Borghese and Coppedè magic!
Alex was a terrific guide. This was a great morning activity and a fun way to see the park. Alex shared lots of Roman knowledge and navigated us through the park. It was a great break from walking 20,000 steps every day. Highly recommend!
Thank you, Monette! We’re so glad Alex helped you save some energy—we know those 20,000 steps a day can be tough! It’s wonderful to hear that our E-bike tour was the perfect "break" while still allowing you to enjoy the beauty of Villa Borghese, Villa Ada, and the Coppedè district. At Bicycle Roma, we love combining fun with Roman knowledge. We truly appreciate the high recommendation!
Great fun! Ilenia was a great guide. Very engaging and let the kids enjoy the ebikws. Ebikes around the park made getting around so easy, you can enjoy the scenery and stories. Also loved the pit stop for gelato! Thanks Ilenia for a great experience.
Thank you, Rebecca! We’re so glad your family had great fun exploring the parks with Ilenia. It’s wonderful to hear that the kids enjoyed the E-bikes and that the gelato pit stop made the day even more special! At Bicycle Roma, we believe that sharing stories and scenery is best done with a smile (and a treat). We’ll be sure to pass your thanks to Ilenia!
Our guide, Manfredi, was THE best possible for us. He was very thoughtful for our needs and extremely knowledgeable of the sights we were seeing! He took as many pictures of us as we wanted. Our safety was a prime concern of his as he would explain our path to us if we were going near traffic areas. Another person in addition to Manfredi helped get our bikes prepared for us and he was very polite and helpful. Overall, we were very pleased with the bike tour and would recommend it to anyone desiring such an adventure!
Thank you so much, Richard! We’re thrilled to hear that Manfredi was the best guide for you and that his thoughtfulness and knowledge made the tour so special. At Bicycle Roma, we believe that safety and comfort are just as important as the sights themselves, so we’re glad you felt well-guided through the traffic. A big thank you also for mentioning our bike preparation team—they work hard behind the scenes to make sure everything is perfect for your adventure! We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again soon!
