Itinerary

Your tour begins near Piazza Venezia

Meet your guide in Via dei Delfini, near Piazza Venezia. After a quick safety briefing, hop on your city bike or e-bike and roll into Rome's historic center to begin chasing 2,000 years of history.

Pedal past the mighty Colosseum

Glide toward the Colosseum, the vast amphitheater where gladiators once fought before roaring crowds. Pause for photos beside the towering Arch of Constantine, then hear how this arena has stood for nearly 2,000 years.

Ride alongside Circus Maximus

Next, roll along the grassy expanse of Circus Maximus, ancient Rome's largest chariot racing track. Picture 150,000 spectators cheering as your guide describes the thundering races that once filled this open valley.

Roll past the Imperial Forums

Pedal beside the Imperial Forums, the ruined civic heart where emperors held court and citizens gathered. Look up at the marble Vittorio Emanuele II monument, its bright columns towering over the busy piazza below.

Cruise through the Roman Ghetto

Wind through the Roman Ghetto, Europe's oldest Jewish quarter, where cobbled lanes hide centuries of stories. Coast past the Theatre of Marcellus, an ancient stone theater that inspired the design of the Colosseum itself.

Weave through lively Campo de' Fiori

Cross into Campo de' Fiori, a bustling market square by day and a buzzing meeting spot by night. Then drift into Piazza Navona, ringed by Baroque palaces and Bernini's dramatic Fountain of the Four Rivers at its center.

Coast to the majestic Pantheon

Roll up to the Pantheon, the best-preserved monument of ancient Rome, crowned by a vast concrete dome. Marvel at its towering columns and open oculus as your guide reveals how Romans built it nearly 1,900 years ago.

Your tour ends at the Trevi Fountain

Finally, coast to the Trevi Fountain, Rome's grandest Baroque masterpiece, where cascading water meets carved sea gods. Toss a coin over your shoulder to guarantee your return, then set off to explore the city on foot.
