Sonda was great. The bike...

Amy_T, May 2025
Sonda was great. The bike tour started a bit late but well worth it. She was very informative … what can I say electric bike are super fun!!!

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour—and we agree, electric bikes really are a blast! We appreciate your patience with the delayed start and are happy to hear Sadaf made it well worth the wait. She’ll be thrilled to know you found the tour informative and fun. Hope to see you on another ride soon!

Eduardo and his staff...

Linda_G, Apr 2025
Eduardo and his staff were fantastic guides! They safely navigated us through the heavy Rome traffic and offered interesting details at every stop.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you for the great feedback! We're so glad to hear that the team made your experience in Rome both safe and informative. Navigating the city’s traffic can be pretty difficult, and we're happy they helped make it smooth and enjoyable for you. Hope to welcome you back for another tour in the future!

Scenic ride overlooking Florence and Tuscany hills.

Chava_R, Nov 2024
This was such a great trip! It was an ideal choice for getting out of the city of Florence, seeing that stunning Tuscany scenery, without having to go far. Our guide Sasha was so patient with my daughter and I, answered all of my many questions, and seemed like he enjoyed what he was doing. This was a perfect half day trip to see glorious Florence from atop and get to experience some countryside too. The ride wasn't too hard, especially thanks to the electric bike! I would definitely do this again, just dress warmly if you do it mid November! ;)

Great way to see the city

Claire_R, Oct 2024
We had a wonderful time great fun way to see the city. Constance our guide was so full of facts and brought the tour to life would definitely recommend.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're thrilled to hear you had such a fun time exploring the city with us. Costanza will be happy to know that her knowledge and storytelling made the tour come to life for you. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again for another adventure!

Enjoyable for our family

Tim_H, Sep 2024
Zipping around on the e-bike was a good change of pace for our trip. Time wells spent with the family.

So worth doing, a great way to see some of the sights.

Pauline_E, Sep 2024
Loved the whole experience, got loads of info about places where we stopped with our bikes, from Danielle who was our guide. So lucky to have her,she's great fun. We had Roberto on the day also who sorted out our headsets.

Excellent

Charlotte_C, Aug 2024
Excellent!! Great day out fun for family highly recommend Daniela for her knowledge the 3d glasses our kids loved and also her energy!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

So glad you enjoyed the plus that we add to our tour, the 3d visor! This is what makes our tour unique! Happy you had a great time

Great ride with interesting stops

William_F, Jun 2024
Getting to do the tour with a newly minted PhD in Archaeology certainly;uy made the trip even better! Our guide came equipped with a virtual reality headset that let us see historical sites as they were in ancient times! Relly brought it to life! Only downside was my Ebike was in need of some service to the front wheel. It worked ok, but for less experienced rider might have been a problem.. Need to keep their bikes better maintained

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Dear William, thank you for the feedback, We are glad you had a good time. With regards to your comment on the e-bikes I would not generalize! We have a wide range of e-bikes and they are all well maintained. We have mechanics working on them every single day and checking them out after each tour. You can see the very good comments on other reviews. If there was a problem with a bike that we didn't notice it would have been nicer to know it straightway and we could have changed the bike. We hope you will have another chance to try our e-bikes again in the future

Great tour

Elizabeth_N, May 2024
Lorenzo was an excellent guide. The bike was great, and the tour was lovely. Terrific way to see the highlights of Rome in a few hours.

Response from Host, May 2024

Dear Elizabeth thank you so much for your kind review. Definitely bike tours are the best way to see the city and our e-bikes make it very easy and enjoyable. We hope to see you again soon

Value tour of Rome's highlights.

brucefield888, Oct 2023
Great Highlight tour. Although my wife had an accident cutting / bruising her butt in a fall in the 1st 20 mins I continued on to enjoy a magic ride across all of Rome's major attractions.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thanks Bruce!

Wonderful way to see the Eternal City

Vanessa_S, Sep 2023
Stefano was an energetic and engaging guide—was fun to see the city’s highlights this way. I was grateful the tour company provided a second staff member to bring up the rear although we managed to stay together as a group regardless. I definitely recommend taking the free/provided helmet. :)

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you Vanessa

Best tour operator- Starbike!

Malika_B, Aug 2023
Star bike guides and staff were wonderful! They made sure we enjoyed our tour. Even gave us recommendations where to go eat which was so helpful! Irene and Mateo and the manager at Starbike who facilitated the partial refund. These guys are amazing! Highly recommend going with them.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Kathryn_V, Jul 2023
Best way to get to all the major sites in Rome and keep the kids entertained in between! Our guide was very knowledgeable and sweet. Did have some close calls with traffic so make sure you are an experienced bike rider.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you Kathryn :)

Fantastic!

Seth_S, May 2023
A great way to see a lot of places relatively quickly, the virtual reality googles really helped you imagine what it was like 2000 years ago. The E bikes were fun and easy to ride!

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you Seth! Come visit us again anytime. We send you our best regards.

Best tour ever

bruce_w, Mar 2023
Being able to see a lot more of Rome than on foot. I loved the virtual glasses where we could go back in time to see how old Rome used to be.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Thank you Bruce, we are very glad you enjoyed your time with us. Best regards from team Starbike.

Take this tour— w Sara— on your first morning in Rome!

Madonna_C, Sep 2022
Sara, our tour guide, was great…fun, well informed about history of Rome, enthusiastic, and has impeccable English (she is Italian but teaches English). She was very accommodating and took us to places off the schedule , including a church w a sculpture of Moses by Michelangelo. Our tour began at 10AM, when traffic is not heavy and bf heat of the day set in. Highly recommend for day 1 in Rome to get general layout of Rome and an intro to some of the history, which gave valuable context for our tour of the Vatican. Ask for Sara! Scale of 1-10, her tour was a 12!

Response from Host, Sep 2022

You guys were amazing! I enjoy my job even more if it's followed by such an awesome feedback. thanks for riding with us. xx Sara P.

Great EBike Experience!

Melissa_L, Aug 2022
E Bikes are wonderful! Especially in super hot, humid weather. It made getting around Rome easy and we didn't have to work up a major sweat. The tour guide was informational and we saw all the most important sites. I might suggest not wasting time doing the VR headsets. It was interesting but I would have rather just kept biking. (feedback from my 2 kids). Especially since looking through the VR headsets while in the hot sun, was a little annoying. Biking and movement are more interesting to kids for sure! Regarding the tour: Time well spent! Also, our time was cut short because another person on the tour had to be back sharply at a certain time. I would suggest that the company doesn't allow guests to go on a tour that might not be done at a certain time sharply. I'm not sure how you can mitigate that though. We left 20 min late since it takes that long to get everyone outfitted with bikes, helmet, etc. Maybe tell everyone to arrive 30 min early (requires the store to open earlier) and then we can leave on time. Or describe in the tour description that we might arrive back within 30 min of the suggested tour time. Anyway, we were rushed at the end and missed one place we were supposed to see. Despite this, we REALLY loved the Ebike way to see Rome. Suggestion for other guests: bring water bottles (amazing fountains with fresh water all over the city!!) and sunscreen. Your bikes will have a little bag to store stuff. Most of the other riders in our tour didn't bring these obvious items... Also, these are the best well maintained E bikes we've ever used. They didn't require you to have to change gears. Just change power on your Ebike. SO EASY and effortless. Well done!

Highly recommend this

Laura_L, Jul 2022
Fantastic experience. So much fun and really interesting. The highlight of our trip. Lovely company to deal with. Guide was so knowledgable and the early morning trip was the best time to see Rome.

Excellent Ebike tour of Rome

Justin_W, Mar 2022
Had a great experience on our E bike tour of Rome. Saw several sites and learned many things from our terrific guide, Fabrízio.

Must do experience.

Neil_R, Mar 2022
Highly recommend this tour. Our guide Fabrizzio took good care of our group and had excellent knowledge of all sites visited. Bikes were so easy to handle too. The ‘VR’ experience was incredible bringing the ancient city to life! Hoping to return and experience a different site with this company.
