As an avid cyclist, bike tours are a must when we visit any city. Rome is filled with people on scooters, e-bikes, and buses...we wanted something different. I found Simone's company and sent an email to book a tour for my wife and I. Simone is the best. He's super knowledgable, friendly, and authentic. We started in downtown Rome and safely made our way to the edges of the city walls. We continued through the outskirts of town along the aqueducts eventually stopping for lunch...by this time it felt like we were hanging out with a friend more than paying for a tour. Lunch was at (what seemed like) a local spot before heading down the Appian way back towards town. All in all the tour took around 6 hours. We both highly recommend and would send friends Simone's way in the future.

My husband and I took The Appian Way Bike Tour, guided by the exceptional Simone. Simone was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable about Roman history and architecture. He took us through beautiful parks, we rode along the actual Appian Way and we saw the remnants of stunning aqueducts and Roman tombs. We learned more about the ancient Romans than we previously knew and were enthralled by Simone's stories that brought history to life for us. If you want to see more than just the Colosseum in Rome this trip is a must. Hidden gems and a taste of what Ancient Rome was really like. This tour exceeded my expectations. Thank you Simone for an absolutely amazing adventure!!!

Our guide Simone and us after 31 km bike ride!!

After a standard morning tour of the Forum, Colosseum, Pantheon and Trevi our 10 and 12 year old children were ready to call it a day. After refueling with lunch, we saw the Forum and the Pantheon again plus biked up to the Capitoline Museum with beautiful views during the sunset, the Mouth of Truth, and the Spanish Steps at night. It was not boring through the jovial guide Simone. He's not only kid friendly but a kid at heart. The children were excited, energized, learned and retained more through his stories! We saw the same sights from angles you can reach only by bike or foot. Everything felt so up close and personal. I thought it would be scary - weaving through the streets of Rome. But Simone watched my beginner 10 year old biker like a hawk and made sure the rest of us followed suit. He turned onto quiet picturesque streets whenever he could. And to top it off - he's a great photographer! And gladly took family photos of us. I think we have our family holiday card photo!

Biking the Appian Way is a must when in Rome. I ended up booking this last minute and as life turns out, it is a HIGHLIGHT of my trip. My guide, the wonderful Simone, has a passion for his city, it's history, and people. He was thoughtful and patient as a guide and caters to your skillset. If you want to enjoy a more authentic experience outside of the usual touristy things in Rome, this is an amazing thing to do: it's adventurous, yet there's plenty of time to take photos, relax a little, and soak in the environment. If you book the afternoon, you get the setting sun and it is truly spectacular. We returned to Rome as night was falling, and cycled through the streets and past the Colosseum which was all lit up in its majestic glory. I highly, highly, highly recommend this activity--and Simone as you're guide, he is truly the best, I promise!

Our bike tour with Simone was the perfect start to our Roman trip last week! I had never been to Rome but my partner had and this tour was an amazing way for me to get a lay of the land while also providing new information and sights for my partner. You do not just go to the typical tourist spots but get a feel for the true life of the city, even in a brief amount of time. Simone's passion for the culture and history of Rome cannot be under-stated. Highly recommend!

Simone made this bike experience excellent! The tour was about 4 hours long and we enjoyed every second of it. We are so glad we decided to do the tour with Free Bike Tours Rome on our first day in the city. Simone really helped us learn the layout of Rome. He is incredibly knowledgeable about his city. Best part about this bike tour was that we weren't seeing the big touristy sites. This was exactly what we were looking for. Simone took us to places we probably never would have visited in Rome. He also was able to give us the history of Rome and all the back stories to every place we stopped. This was one of our highlights of our trip to Rome. Simone will adjust the tour to whatever you want to see or learn. I strongly suggest booking a tour with him. You will not be disappointed!!! We did a number of tours while in Rome (at the Vatican and the Colosseum), and Simone's bike tour was by far the best. We learned the most with him and had the most fun! He is worth every penny and more! Plus, you're supporting a small local entrepreneur!!

Incredible experience. It rained on us in the first quarter of the trip but we ended up all grabbing coffee and waiting out the rain. The sun peaked through and the rest of the excursion was breathtaking. Our guide Simone was amazing. Our group was huge and he kept us all together and kept us aware of each space we entered into.

Our family of four (two adults and a 14 and an 11 year old) did the morning bike tour on July 11, 2019 with Lorenzo the day after arriving to Italy and it was our favorite part of our whole 2 -week trip! We started off early to avoid the heat and the worst of the crowds. Lorenzo asked us our preferences regarding what we wanted to see, helped us select equipment, observed our riding abilities, and then we were off! The tour ended up being five hours as Lorenzo never rushed us and we got to see so many things. We capped the tour with gelato place that ended up being our favorite in Rome. I can't speak highly enough of Lorenzo. He was very knowledgeable about Roman history, which he shared in an interesting and not overwhelming way. He is intimately familiar with the city and was able to show us vistas and perspectives that we would not have seen otherwise doing the usual tours (which we did do in later days). For example, we were able to look down on the Roman Forum and Colosseum from up on a nearby hill. We were able to get an overview of part of the city which then informed our later sightseeing. Lorenzo is also a very skilled bicyclist. The whole time, we felt safe and comfortable, which allowed us to enjoy the sights around us. He helped guide my 11 year old daughter at the end when she was getting really tired. He was easy going and fun. In short, this tour was AMAZING and you should definitely make it a priority if you can.

Amazing bike ride with Simone to see the Appian Way and the Ancient Roman aquaduct.. there were three of us on this 6 hours private tour. My sister got an electric bike, but we thought we rise to the challenge using regular bike..what a great experience! Simone was ÂMAZING!! He loves the city and its rich history. He is so passionate about preserving the culture.. Simone is very knowledgeable and took us to places we would have never seen. He told us the history of the Appian Way and the aquaduct. We would definitely take another tour with him again when we come back to Rome.

Had a great ride with Lorenzo today. The weather wasn't the best, with a bit of drizzle but Lorenzo took us on a 4 hour ride with many interesting stops and provided comprehensive narrative throughout the ride. Highly recommend!

10 – Villa Borghese Bike Tour

Rating: ⭐️ 4.5/5 ( 20 reviews )

“Worth every penny! Our guide was knowledgeable, helpful, and very charming. A great way to see the Borghese property. A must!” Cynthia, Viator

Welcome to Villa Borghese, Rome’s largest public park! However, calling it simply a public park is simplifying the space to a point of unfairness. Villa Borghese’s grounds encompass a lake, woods, theaters, ruins, a zoo and ornate mansions.

The collected art works of Cardinal Scipione Borghese are on display at the dazzling Borghese Gallery . Also within the park is the Bioparco di Roma, a zoo sheltering several hundred animal species. A tour through Villa Borghese is an introduction to an enriching slice of Rome.

The vast knowledge of the guides paired with the multiple allures of Villa Borghese makes this an extremely popular tour. If you’re looking for a chance to use your legs to explore a special corner of Rome teeming with attractions, we confidently suggest taking this tour.

11 – Sunrise E-Bike Experience with Coffee Tasting

Rating: ⭐️ 4.9/5 ( 70 reviews )

“This was probably one of the best tours I’ve done! The bikes were easy to ride, the stops were well planned out and the guides kept us safe and were so knowledgeable about the whole area.” Sarah, Getyourguide

Visitors to Rome don’t often witness the ancient city at dawn. All the more reason to rise early for an e-bike adventure fueled by some of Italy’s first-rate espresso. Well-educated guides will make spots like Trevi Fountain and Piazza Navona come alive with stories, facts and surprises.

This tour earns our highest praise thanks to amazing guides and a chance to see Rome’s attractions before most of the visitors arrive.

12 – Small Group E-Bike Tour

Rating: ⭐️ 5/5 ( 72 reviews )

“Very nice guide with a lot of knowledge. would we do it again Highly Recommended.” Svenja, Getyourguide

Imagine cruising along Rome’s cobbled lanes with a private guide and only company you choose. Coast to a stop in front of the Trevi Fountain and St Peter’s Basilica as your guide retells the story of these eminent locales. Small-group private e-bike tours get you to premier spots in Rome easily and in a short period of time.

This is hands-down one of the most highly-rated bike tours in Rome. The combination of stellar guides, comfortable bikes and affordability for a private tour garners abundant five-star reviews.

13 – Rome Highlights by E-Bicycle

Rating: ⭐️ 5/5 ( 308 reviews )

“Awesome experience with friendly and knowledgeable guide. Definitely one of the best tours that we have done in Europe, great value and a lot of fun.” James, Viator

If you want the luxuries of a private tour but don’t want to part with too many Euros, a Rome highlights by e-bicycle tour can be an ideal choice for you. In groups no larger than eight people, your guides will whisk you to Rome’s main draws like the Pantheon and the Roman Forum as well as hidden surprises.

This is a choice tour for people wanting to see corners of Rome not often seen by holidaymakers. Guides speak excellent English and make travelers’ safety their highest priority.

Looking for gift inspiration.

This tour was so amazing and I felt like we really got a chance to take as many pictures as possible. Our tour guide was phenomenal and was super knowledgeable about the  Colosseum . She was so patient as well as some of the tour guests couldn’t walk as fast to keep up. I definitely recommend this tour to all!

Very interesting and bruno, the guide, was so professional and friendly. Even perfect for kids. We saw a lot and had fun!! Thank you Natascha W. Rome Bike Tour

Lucia was a fantastic guide – we did this on our first morning in Rome. It gave us a good grasp of all the main attractions and helped us decide where and where not to go. I would highly recommend. There were 3 of us in our family group – 2 adults and an 11 year old – we all enjoyed it. Sarah S. Rome Bike Tour

Marco our guide was brilliant and so enthusiastic.  Saw most of the key areas and learnt so much. Kirsty D. Rome Day Segway Tour

A brilliant bike tour led by the wonderfully enthusiastic and knowledgeable Lucilla. I would put this tour right to the start of any trip to Rome, especially if you have kids. Guy N. Rome Bike Tour

Loved this tour. Helpful, relaxed atmosphere and the cycling was stress free and moderate in effort. Chris was a friendly knowledgeable guide. Full of information and happy to answer questions. He even helped us with our plans for the rest of our day. Would definitely recommend 😀 👍 Scott C. Rome Bike Tour

A must do in Rome. The Segways enables us to cover lots of ground with ease. Our guide Livia was friendly, very informative and her instruction and diligence when using the Segways was spot on. Lachlan Rome Day Segway Tour

Hi Bruno, many thanks for a wonderful introduction to Rome. None of us had been there before, and you gave us a great overview so that we could plan our next few days. Your cool and calm instructions on how to maneuver the Segways gave us the confidence we needed to enjoy the tour. Emma Rome Night Segway Tour

We enjoyed seeing Rome from the Segway and went to places we would have not gone on foot. I have an 18 year old daughter, the segways made sight seeing exciting! Our guide spoke perfect english and was very fun and interesting! Louise Rome Day Segway Tour

We had a great evening with a super-fun group of people. Our guide, Marco, was knowledgeable and made the evening one of the highlights of our trip to  Rome . I highly recommend Fat Tire Tours! Kimberly H. Rome Night Bike Tour

My friend and I had one day in  Rome  and wanted to see as much as possible. A bike tour is the perfect way to get a quick overview of the city and see many of its highlights quickly. Our guide, Marco, was so much fun and very knowledgeable. He brought the history to life. I highly recommend this tour! Kim H. Rome Bike Tour

Excellent! Enjoyed the whole ride from the sites to biking through some of the piazza restaurants. Saw some hidden gems in Rome. Michael Rome Night Bike Tour

I visited Italy for a month earlier this year and spent some time in Florence and Rome. I went on the food tour in Florence, the wine experience in Rome and the bike tour in both cities. All of these were incredible and I am so grateful I did! Was the best way to see any city and feel the true Italian culture with the most talented local guides in the world. Its a must! Richard M.
