Ever dreamed of cycling past Rome’s magnificent sites without the usual hustle and bustle of traffic and tourists? Then, gear up for our expert guide-led e-bike tour that’ll get you out riding along the Road of the Imperial Forums, through the Trastevere neighborhood, and up Capitoline Hill before the crowds wake. Plus, with virtual reality (VR) headsets included, you’ll have a chance to witness the virtually reconstructed ancient Rome, ensuring an experience you’ll be bragging about for years

- Cycle through Ancient Rome
- Effortless Exploration
- Small Group Experience
- Step into the past
Starting bright and early, you'll reach your designated starting point close to the Colosseum, the first attraction you will admire during your tour. In fact, after a brief introduction, hop on your e-bike and embark on a delightful ride to one of Rome’s landmarks. As the crowds have yet to have woken, you'll savor the unique opportunity to bask in the grandeur of Rome's most impressive sites in peaceful solitude. Put on your VR headsets to virtually experience the Colosseum in its prime, then continue your ride to Piazza Venezia and Piazza Navona.
Next, peddle to the Pantheon and admire its grandeur in the soft morning light before weaving your way to the charming Trastevere neighborhood. You’ll also enjoy the vibrant energy of Campo dei Fiori's early morning vendor bustle, climb Capitoline Hill for impressive city views, and imagine the excitement of Circus Maximus when it was a vibrant chariot-racing stadium. Remember to don your VR headsets at each stop, and once you’ve arrived back at the starting point, the choice is yours to transfer back to your hotel or grab a well-earned lunch at a nearby restaurant.

Dawn at the Colosseum
You’ll meet your group at the meeting point early in the morning for a brief introduction to your e-bike. These high-quality bikes are easy to ride, even if you’re not an experienced cyclist, and will allow you to check out the city’s many iconic highlights before the crowds hit the streets.
With anticipation building, you’ll hop on straight away and embark on a short ride to the Colosseum. Marvel at its grandeur, free from the usual daytime tourists, and delve into the rich history of the amphitheater as brought to life by your knowledgeable guide. You’ll also don your VR headsets to admire what the Colosseum looked like in its prime.
Piazza Venezia and Piazza Navona
Next, follow your guide along the Via dei Fori Imperiali (Road of the Imperial Forums) to Piazza Venezia (Venice Square). Along the way, admire the Arch of Constantine, one of Rome's best-preserved triumphal arches, and the Imperial Forums, which date back as far as 46 BC. Take a moment to check out Venice Square's impressive buildings and statues, which will look exceptional in the tranquil morning hours, before continuing to Piazza Navona.
Also known as Navona Square, this is arguably the most beautiful of Rome’s squares, and in the early morning, you’ll have the freedom to admire its magnificent fountains and Baroque Roman architecture without the crowds.
The Pantheon
The next part of your Rome e-biking tour takes you to the Pantheon, a marvelously preserved ancient Roman monument. The soft morning light lends a mystical aura to its grand facade, and as you put on the VR headsets, you'll be shown a Pantheon untouched by time, granting you a newfound appreciation for this architectural masterpiece.
Trastevere and Capitoline Hill
Your e-bike tour then continues past the Campo dei Fiori, a vibrant marketplace that'll only just be waking up for the day ahead, and through the picturesque streets of Trastevere, a neighborhood known for its bohemian vibe and ivy-clad houses. Then, climb up to Capitoline Hill for a grand view of the cityscape sprawling before you continue past the ancient Roman chariot-racing stadium of Circus Maximus. Along the way, your guide will point out other interesting landmarks and hidden relics, but before you know it, you'll find yourself returning to the starting point, energized and invigorated, just as the city around you stirs to life.

Our guide was great and knowledgeable. We had a great experience. The best way to see Rome is on the bike.
The Perfect Way to See the Historical Landmarks
April Richter
My husband and I REALLY enjoyed our electric bike tour! We had the BEST tour guide DANIELA.☺️ It took me a few minutes to gain my confidence but Daniela was so patient and encouraging.♥️ We had many favorite moments buts a few of our favorites were: the VR headsets that allowed us to “see” what some of the constructions “looked” like when they existed and Daniela’s knowledge of the history of Rome in which her passion for her “home” sines through! My husband and I highly recommend this experience with Roma Star Bike. Ciao!
A Great Way to See Rome!
Stacey O'Reilly
We loved this tour! We have been to Rome before, but really enjoyed seeing the city in this way. We covered so much of the city during our morning ride. Veronica was our guide and wonderful! She loves fun facts and telling stories about the city. She also made great recommendations for gelato, shops, and restaurants. We would do this tour again for the fun of it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What to bring?
We will be outside the entire time, so make sure to bring a bottle of water and sunscreen in summer.

What if it rains?
This tour usually runs rain or shine. If your guide deems the weather conditions unsafe for bike riding, the tour will be canceled for your own safety. We will do our best to reschedule you for another tour or offer you a full refund. We understand your time in Rome is limited, and we want you to experience as much as you can!
What should I wear?

What to bring?
We will be outside the entire time, so make sure to bring a bottle of water and sunscreen in summer.
