I was in Italy for a week and spent about 2 days in Rome. This Night E-bike tour of Rome was the first thing I did there and it turned out to be an awesome way to see the highlights of Rome - which was indeed special to see at night. The guide was knowledgeable and clearly cared for the group's safety. We all felt at ease cycling throughout Rome. This was one of the highlights of my trip!

Nice tour through the streets and history of Rome. Everything was perfect; E-bikes, guide, tour, even the weather. In particular I would like to highlight the professionalism of Arina, who took such good care of us and shared so much of the city she lives in. Best recommendations from us :-)

Superb company with high quality bikes, wonderfully designed night itinerary of Rome, as well as flexible and friendly service. Our guide Rik had a vast knowledge of Roman history and always had interesting facts to share. Warmly recommended!

What a great way to see Rome in such way! Our guide was brilliant - very knowledgeable and went at a good pace for everyone on the tour. The ebikes were brand new (Cannondale!) also very easy to use. Rome by night has its own charm.

The tour was awesome and our tour guide Steven was great. One of the best things we have done in Rome. Would highly recommend
