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
Really enjoyable
We had a great few hours on the tour. It was very very busy so take this in mind if you’re not a confident rider. Very informative and funny guide. Would totally recommend
Pauline, you made us fall in love with Rome!
We made an electric bike ride through Rome with a Dutch guide, Pauline. We are a family with 2 adolescent girls aged 16 and 13. We ended up having a private trip, which was great! We have seen the most beautiful places in Rome and Pauline has also given us all kinds of tips and advice on things we wanted to shop and where we needed to be for that. Totally succeeded, happy kids, happy parents! Pauline thank you for your nice bike tour, we enjoyed it very much!! Highly recommended at the start of your city break, so you have already seen more of the city and know where you want to go back later! We keep booking these bike trips during city trips, because it's just really cool to do!
Great experience. Bikes...
Great experience. Bikes were well maintained and in great shape. Tour guide was excellent. Route was very well planned out.
Sightseeing in Rome was perfect!
I loved sightseeing by bike! Rome was my first time, then I decided to repeat this experience in London.
Definitely worth it!
A wonderful activity as a family and to get your bearings in Rome! Our guide, Bruno, went above and beyond to care for our children and to keep us all safe. We got to see at least 10-12 major sites and a great explication of each site. Be sure to have your phone online and confirm that we are on your way before the activity. Each person has a radio/earpiece so that you can hear the guide's explanation and directions. Truly a wonderful experience!
