Sorry, no products match your filters.
Inspired by a genuine love for cycling and a true passion for this incredible city, for over 17 years Top bike has been offering unique ways to experience Rome's cultural, historical and natural riches. In all these years, our formula for the perfect Rome bike tour hasn't budged: a fascination to share, top-notch bicycle equipment, uncompromising safety-conscious guide training and a never-ending itinerary research.

When you are searching for the best bike tours in Rome, Top bike has a wide variety of options available throughout the year. For those who want to fully experience the heart of the city, we designed three great E bike tours in Rome.
If you have half a day to spend, our 4-hour City Center Highlights tour can be the ideal introduction to many must-see sites in the historic center. From the Colosseum to the Pantheon and Piazza Navona, this rather short ride will be a concatenation of jaw dropping moments.
​
To make the most out of these relatively brief Rome bicycle tours, we recommend you to join us just after arriving in the city. Not only will the ride help you map out this central area of the city, but through our guide's explanations, you will also benefit from a general historical framework which could be useful for any further discoveries you will make in the upcoming days of your stay.
Full Day Electric Bike Tour Rome: Italy at its best
If you can't wait to indulge in a full city experience and you are searching for a Rome E Bike tour that covers all the highlights, including the Saint Peter Basilica and Castel Sant'Angelo, we present to you the 7-hour Rome in a Day tour.
Our city is rather hilly, so you will appreciate pedalling on two wheels with an electric motor - especially in the summer months! Moreover, this activity includes a lunch in an Italian trattoria, which makes it quite the typical Italian experience.
A different yet extraordinary Rome electric bike tour

If you're after a splendid E bike tour in Rome, we have even more to offer besides the formidable historic center. Are you ready for an epic off-the-beaten-path ride, away from the vibrant city, plunging in nature and surrounding yourself with incredible historic structures?
If your heart starts beating a little faster as you read this, our Ancient Appian Way, Catacombs and Park of the Aqueducts tour is the perfect solution for you: a ride that has been rated by our guests as one of the best bike tours Rome can offer. Gear-up and pedal on our tough tires on one of the most important Roman roads, towards the stunning Ancient Aqueducts.
The 6-hour version of this excursion includes a visit of the famous catacombs of St. Callixtus or St. Sebastian.
In this 27-km (17-mile) bike trip we explore the history- and landscape-rich countryside of Rome, riding predominantly on off-road surfaces including unpaved roads and dirt paths. For this reason we rate the ride as intermediate in difficulty, but rest assured: this E bike tour of Rome is perfectly doable for anyone who can confidently ride a bicycle! As on all our Rome bike tours, here too we chose all the safest and easiest route options available (including bicycle lanes where possible). And if the length of the ride troubles you, fear not: an Electric-assist bicycle is included by default!
Panoramically photogenic: possibly one of the best bike tours in Rome
We tailored our Panoramic Tour especially for travelers who adore scenic views. On all of our Rome Bike Tours the camera could potentially shoot overtime, but this excursion tops all others in the photographic opportunities it offers. If you like to see the city at large and gaze at the hills, iconic structures and domes from a higher ground, this may be the Rome E-Bike Tour for you. Discover how photogenic the "Eternal City" can be from a birds-eye perspective.
Spin with one of our skillful guides up to the roof of the city (Janiculum hill), to find out that this is one of those bike tours Rome looks different through, but spectacular for sure! After the pleasant downhill ride you can rest your wheels on the kickstand to marvel at the vast Saint Peter Square.
Why cycling in Italy? (and two alternative bicycle experiences)
One of the reasons travelers choose La Bella Italia is the abundance of beautiful seas, cities and scenic countryside. An electric bike tour in Rome is a great opportunity to discover the remarkable fusion of history, nature and modern-day life. A bicycle tour of Rome will boost your imagination and make history come alive through the explanations of our guides.
For our guests with different scenic wishes, we suggest two special day tours outside of Rome.
For those who have experienced the capital several times already, we developed the Appia Antica and Castel Gandolfo with Lunch - an outstanding ride to Castel Gandolfo (the Summer residence of the Pope) and Lake Albano (a small but deep lake of volcanic origin). On this trip, we ride on the green banks of the lake and enjoy a voluptuous Italian lunch there, before pedaling back the complete surviving stretch of the Ancient Appian Way, slightly downhill.
The second option, Alviano, Bagnoregio and Orvieto with Wine Tasting is a picturesque countryside ride towards two famous medieval hilltop towns: Civita di Bagnoregio and Orvieto. You will be impressed!
Please contact us for detailed information about one of these day trips.
How safe are you on a Rome bike tour with us?
A bicycle tour in Rome with us is as safe as it gets! While the city slowly improves its cycling infrastructure, we have designed carefully planned routes combining traffic-free sections with stretches of limited traffic. Above all, our expert, safety-conscious local guides are determined to put you at ease, because safety is our top priority. Each and every Rome Bike Tour includes a safety helmet for everyone and a bottle of water to make sure you stay hydrated throughout the ride.
The Italian capital is full of hidden gems. However, reaching them across smooth cycling surface isn't always simple or even possible. This is why quality equipment from world-renowned brand Cannondale, solid bike components and thorough and regular bicycle maintenance can make or break a cycling experience in the Eternal city. Our Top Bike mechanics know this best: all our bikes are checked after every single use in order to have components perfectly tweaked or, if necessary, replaced.
Riding with children is also a familiar sight, so we are prepared: we have a wide variety of child-seats, tag-alongs and children's bicycles available. All our Rome bicycle tours are a priceless experience for children too!
How hard is the ride? Find out on an electric bike tour: Rome will be defeated
Our Rome bike tours are marked as of either easy or intermediate level, depending on whether they run prevalently on a smooth surface or predominantly off-road. The smoothness of the ride is enhanced by the fact that we pedal with an electric bike. Rome is rather hilly, but don't let that put you off: it never has been easier to conquer than on an E-Bike!
