Itinerary
the Jewish Ghetto of Rome is one of the hidden treasures of the capital, a small neighborhood rich in archaeological and cultural heritage, as well as religious. Considered among the oldest in the world - it is second only to that of Venice - the Ghetto of Rome was born in 1555 by order of Pope Paul IV. The people inside had the obligation to reside there and to always carry with them a distinctive sign of belonging to the Jewish community.
The Campo de’ Fiori (Field of flowers in English) is one of the main squares of Rome. It is lively both during the day; with its flower, fruit and vegetable market, and by night; when the terraces are packed with people.
Navona Square is one of the most spectacular and characteristic squares of Baroque Rome, built on the remains of the Stadium of Domitian. The shape of the current square reproduces precisely the perimeter of the ancient stadium that the emperor built in 86 AD for athletics competitions and horse racing.
A source of inspiration for the greatest architects of all ages, its beauty, the harmony of the lines and the perfect geometries have always struck people both in the past and the present. The story of one of the best preserved examples of Roman monumental architecture begins in 27 BC, when Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, a close friend, son-in-law, and lieutenant to Augustus, commissioned a temple in this area dedicated to “all the gods”.
View, Explanation and pictures of the church from outside
Probably, the construction of the building was commissioned by Emperor Hadrian who intended to dedicate it to his wife Vibia Sabina, who died and was then deified in 136. However, the works were concluded, around 145 A.C., by his son and successor Antoninus Pius who dedicated it to the deified emperor Hadrian.
The terminal part of the Vergine aqueduct, the only one of the ancient aqueducts continuously in use to this day, the Trevi Fountain it is the best known of the Roman fountains.
View and explanation of the Trajan's Forum and Imperial Forum
Piazza Venezia extends between Via del Corso and Via dei Fori Imperiali and its current form comes from the renovations of the area, taking place between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, for the construction of the Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele II.
The Arch of Constantine, located along the route taken by the triumphs, in the stretch between the Circus Maximus and the Arch of Titus, is the largest honorary arch that has come down to us and represents a synthesis of the ideological propaganda of the Constantinian era. The arch in fact celebrates the triumph of Emperor Constantine over Maxentius, which took place on 28th October 312 A.D.
The Circus Maximus is the largest building for public entertainment in antiquity and one of the largest of all time (600 metres long by 140 metres wide) and is related by a legend to the very origins of the city: the Rape of the Sabine Women took place here.

Traveler reviews
Awesome Rome Highlights Tour
Great bike tour! Both my hubby and I have done bike tours in many cities we visit and the Rome one did not disappoint! We had Lorena who was so knowledgable about Rome history and gave out great recommendations for coffee spots and food throughout the tour. Highly recommend if you want to learn about Roman history with all the important sites the city has to offer.
Great bike tour!
We had an amazing experience doing the bike tour with Arvin! The kids had a great time following around and learning all about the city of Rome! I would recommend this tour to anyone!
Best way to see Rome
Just book it! Without doubt, the best activity we did in Rome! We saw all the sights, and our guide Stephan was very knowledgeable. No need for e-bikes (it’s all flat and streets are very busy, so e-bikes seemed to struggle with control).
Great tour guide, but it...
Great tour guide, but it was hard to enjoy as the roads are very busy with cars and pedestrians. This city is not built for bikes.
Fun ride around the city
I often book a bike tour when visiting cities and this one was excellent, our guide was very knowledgeable and made the experience fun. I was with a small group which meant no one got lost! Would recommend! We got to see many of the highlights in Rome which is always helpful to decide where to go back to.
