My guide was most wonderful! She took time to share her own personal stories as an Italian in Rome. Which made the history behind all the sights comes alive!
Great way to see the sites of Rome. Our tour guide Lorana was very knowledgeable. She navigated us through the city with ease. She showed us places we never would’ve found on our own. Great, fun experience.
Very informative. Learned a lot about the history of Rome. Saw little nooks of the city that I would never have found on my own
Such a fun way to get an overview of the Rome! Our guide (we can’t remember her name but she was wonderful!) was fun and informative - we saw so many sights and got a feel for the city. Our tour was July 3 and 6pm and we really cannot say enough good things about our guide! The evening tour was perfect as it was not quite so hot.
Nice bikes, crowded streets but beautiful sites to see! The temperatures were cooler and streets less crowded than midday.
This was our 2nd Fat Tire bike trip in Rome. Mary took us places we hadn’t been on the afternoon ride. Riding up the street facing the Spanish Steps all lit up was special. At times the ride can be exciting with all of the traffic but with Mary in our ears (we had headsets) I always felt safe. For planning purposes assume that you’ll be on the tour for at least 3 hours.
We had an amazing experience. The tour guide Danielle was so much fun, very accommodating and knowledgeable. It was the best part of the day: cool and breezy. We saw illuminated Rome. It looked magical !
Our Tour Guide Marika was awesome. She showed us so much of her beautiful city and gave us just enough info to keep us interested, without dragging it out. I would recommend this for families, especially teens.
Matthias did a great job! Definitely recommend, very insightful tour. Having been to Rome several times, this tour hit some off the beaten path of history I had not known.
We just got to Rome and this was a nice way to get to know the city. Our tour guide was nice and great information and history of the city.
We scheduled the night bike tour for our first night in Rome! Matt was super informative and really helped us get our bearings of the city. He gave us many helpful tips for our trip!
Having done a fat tire tour in Paris a few years back, I knew we needed to do this with our large group! None of us were hugely experienced riders, but Lori made this so much fun, and it wound up being the highlight of our trip! You see so much more from a bicycle, and there’s something freeing about being able to experience any European city, like the locals do. Our bikes were sturdy. We even had rain gear for a small downpour, Laurie was helpful amazing and none of us will ever forget this! Thank you fat tire tours for delivering again!
The stories of the guide and his friendliness brought Rome alive- his English was excellent and he offered his tips and hints about living in Rome and even a few Italuan words!!
I've done bike tours in a dozen other cities around the world in the last few years. I always do my research to book the best bike tour in each city. The Fat Tire Rome tour which we booked was easily one of the best, if not my favorite of all. Why? Well Rome has a lot of cool history which you can cover nicely on a 3.5 hour bike tour ... AND because our tour guide, Marco, was probably the best tour guide I've ever had. He's fluent in English and knows the history of Rome incredibly well. Also he is so likeable, and we laughed a lot, and he tells the history of Rome in such a cool and easy to understand way, splitting it into Acts ... Acts 1, Acts 2 and Acts3 ... you'll see when you take the tour! We loved the tour so much we booked the Rome Night Tour a few days later, and specifically made sure that Marco was taking it! The Rome Night Tour is amazing to experience at night on bicycle during summer, especially since its a bit cooler... I think there is a bit more content and history during the Day Tour tho ... in any event, it's hard to pick a favorite. Thank you Marco! Ryan & Feryal (from Cape Town, South Africa)
Fantastic bike tour of Rome ! Set off early evening and cycled around Rome as the sun was setting ! Lenora was a fantastic guide ! She was so friendly and made it such a fun experience. She gave us so much information at each stop ! Finished off with a glass of wine at the end ! This is a must for anyone visiting Rome !
Make sure they give you the right bikes. We had reserved e-bikes, but they gave us standard bikes and wanted to charge us an additional 20 euros each when we noticed. Thanks to my receipt, they made the change. This is the reason for the 4 stars; the guide was fantastic, very flexible, and friendly with our two teenagers.
A very pleasant experience at the end of the day, less hot, evening light, charming, cheerful, and attentive guide.
Fully recommended. It is a didactic and fast way to see the most important points of the city. Mattias is a magnificent guide telling the story in a fun and interesting way.
