Bike or e-bike?
Pick an e-bike if you want an easy ride. All six of our picks use e-bikes or offer one as an option.
One e-bike tour calls its 14 km route a leisure ride. Another says its e-bikes take the effort out and help you beat the heat.

The Appian Way by bike
Our guided pick rides the 2,300-year-old cobblestones of the Appian Way by e-bike for 4 hours.
On the way, you see the Roman aqueducts, the Circus of Maxentius and the Caffarella Valley Park.
Bike rental in Rome: the Appian Way on your own
Our only rental pick is on the Appian Way, from €20 for the day. You choose an e-bike, a mountain bike or a city bike.
There is no guide, so you go at your own pace. Helmets and locks are included, but food and drinks are not.
Bike tours with kids
The 14 km e-bike tour is the best fit for families. Children aged 1 to 4 ride free in a child seat, and children aged 5 to 8 ride on a child extension.
Two other tours offer child seats: one on request, and one for children up to 20 kg.
On the city highlights ride, children under 10 must be very good riders.
Tips before you book a bike tour
Go early in summer
The rides last up to 4 hours. In summer, book an early start and pick an e-bike if you can.
Check who it does not suit
Some tours list weight limits, such as 100 kg (220 lbs) or 120 kg (264 lbs), and health limits. Read them on the listing.
Wear closed shoes
One listing asks you to wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes. Dress for the weather.
Free cancellation
All six picks have free cancellation. Read the cut-off on the listing. One tour needs at least 4 riders, or it offers you another tour or a full refund.
