We met Gorgio down the River Tiber at a very relaxing sports club house. We chilled out with a morning coffee and then got measured for our bikes. Gorgio went through everything e-bike and how to work it etc, my husband already has an e-bike so was good to go. I myself hadn’t been on a bike for many years and was very apprehensive about riding one. I really shouldn’t have worried as they’re so easy to ride and Gorgio was amazing making sure I was ok and talked me through gears etc if I got a bit confused. The bike ride itself was very relaxing and an amazing way to get round the gardens in Villa Borghese. Gorgio was very informative about Villa Borghese and showed us lots of amazing views of the city and we took plenty of pictures too. He was also so kind to show us other The castle where Hadrian was buried which was not on our tour. I can’t recommend this tour enough. Especially if you want a little adventure and feel the breeze on your face instead of feeling the heat and exhaustion of walking everywhere! We had an amazing tour thank you so much Gorgio ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My 11 year old son and I...

Hannah_O, Mar 2026

My 11 year old son and I had a great time with Alessio on this tour. Since it was just the two of us, he customized the tour to show us another park, a neighborhood often filmed in movies, as well as the Borghese gardens. We stopped frequently for photos and informs on various landmarks and cool sights. It was a highlight of our trip and the e-bikes made it easy to cover a lot in the time allotted. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

What a special memory to create with your son! We’re so glad Alessio could tailor the ride to show you those "cinematic" corners of Rome and the hidden beauty of our parks. The e-bikes really are the secret weapon for families—you get to see so much more without the tired legs! Hearing that this was a highlight of your trip is the best feedback we could hope for. Thank you for choosing Bicycle Roma!

Great e bike experience

Bike tour around Borghese gardens

Andrea_W, Sep 2025

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you so much, Andrea! We’re thrilled that Gorgio made your tour of Villa Borghese so special and helped you overcome your apprehension about riding. There’s truly nothing like feeling the breeze on your face instead of the Roman heat! We’re also glad you enjoyed the "extra" stop at Hadrian's Castle; our guides love sharing those extra amazing views of the city whenever possible. At Bicycle Roma, we want everyone—from e-bike pros to those who haven't ridden in years—to feel safe and excited. We’ll be sure to share your 5 stars with Gorgio! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Delightful ride in Borghese Gardens!

Thank you, Lena! We’re so glad you had a delightful ride in the Borghese Gardens.

Beautiful day in Rome on a bike in one of the most beautiful and famous parks in the world!

Villa Borghese July 24

Jocelyn_S, Jul 2024

Our guide was George. He was knowledgeable and very friendly. He made sure we were able to ride bikes and use the electric assist. The electric assist made it extremely easy to ride. Villa Borghese was beautiful and George gave clear Explainations of the history and surroundings. We also saw the Spanish steps and church. Overall the trip was well worth it and would do another bike tour. Thank you.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

A very nice tour...

Lucrezia_B, Jul 2025

A very nice tour especially if done early in the morning, with less traffic and less heat. Very competent and helpful guide who showed us many wonders of Rome, in addition to the garden of Villa Borghese

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Grazie mille, Lucrezia! Siamo felicissimi che il tour ti sia piaciuto. Hai dato un consiglio preziosissimo: vivere Roma la mattina presto ha un fascino unico, non solo per il clima più fresco e il traffico ridotto, ma anche per quella luce speciale che avvolge Villa Borghese. Siamo lieti che la nostra guida sia stata all'altezza delle tue aspettative, mostrandoti che c'è tanto altro da scoprire oltre il giardino. Speriamo di rivederti presto per un'altra pedalata tra le meraviglie della Capitale! 🚲🏛️🌅

steht und fällt mit dem motivierten und freundlichen Guide - den hatten wir!

Thomas_K, Nov 2022

bemühter Guide, gut ausgestattete Fahrräder (eBikes); anpassungsfähig im BEreich kurzfristiger Änderungen (unsere Tochter war bspw. zu klein für das eBike) - rasch eine Alternative organisiert.
