An Electric Bike Tour in Rome with Starbike

An Electric Bike Tour in Rome with Starbike

A cool, comfortable and healthy way to enjoy the ancient charm of the eternal city, an electric bike tour is often an underestimated solution for one's leisure.

Recently this practice has caught on especially among Central Europeans looking for the best way to enjoy the beautiful sights of the old continent and to enjoy the relaxing summer days.

This is especially true for a country with a pleasantly temperate climate such as Italy, which is characterized, among other things, by a density of historic sites, panoramas and new and old structures with astonishing architectural details that make a bike tour an ideal way to enjoy a vacation in Europe's most evocative "boot."

In Italy? Yes , but where exactly?

Venice, Turin, Genoa, Naples, Milan, Florence... Of the many Italian cities we recommend you visit none can really rival the capital, Rome.

Cradle of the Roman Empire, Rome is Italy's largest collection of historic buildings, works of art and legends dating back nearly 3,000 years.

We assure you that even if you spend a month touring it and getting lost in its quaint alleys, you still cannot say you have seen even half of all that the city has to offer. I am not just talking from the historical, artistic and architectural points of view but also culinary and contemplative of the beautiful views that the Roman hills have to offer.

The only flaw for a city that would otherwise be perfect for being toured by bike is the hilly structure of the land on which the city is built that could make for the less trained some of the climbs a bit too heavy.

This problem has been circumvented by several Roman bike rental companies through the use of pedal-assisted electric bikes that make it possible to overcome even the most difficult climbs in agility. We have done our research and identified for you the best of these electric bike rental companies...

Roma Starbike

Roma Starbike is a team of young people working in tourism, they offer several services but their specialty is private electric bike tours.

Here are some of the best solutions we have found, all riding an e-bike.

  • Morning tours of Rome

A morning tour with specialized guides through the varied history of the capital, exploring places otherwise inaccessible by other means.

This is a great time of day because it allows you to see the city before it gets crowded with the hectic life that characterizes it, allowing you to enjoy a bubble of tranquility out of time.

The company also offers 3-D reconstructions of some of the most striking historical sites through the use of state-of-the-art virtual reality viewers, allowing you to see the city a couple of millennia ago.

  • Rome by Night by e-bike

If you've never experienced Rome at sunset then get caught up in the charm of monuments, majestic fountains, churches and ancient buildings that are tinged with a warm evocative and romantic color as the sun goes down.

  • A tour of the ancient Appian way

Among the most evocative tours offered by Starbike we suggest a tour of the ancient Appian way, one of the earliest roads in Rome.

The Appian way runs through the famous Aqueducts Park, a place full of thriving vegetation that will provide the backdrop for your tour of the city center.

The route will pass ancient vestiges, imperial villas, statues and tombs scattered throughout a 2300-year-old nature trail.

In addition, if you want to unleash your spirit of adventure, then I suggest you delve into the underground of this mysterious route.

With Starbike's guides you can venture on your e-bikes into the silent and impressive underground structures of the Catacombs of St. Sebastian and ancient Roman quarries, places that have remained inaccessible to the public for many years.

The catacombs of St. Sebastian in particular are closely linked to the history of early Christianity and the early martyred saints, fortunately for us they have been incredibly well preserved to this day.

  • Roman street food

Ever tried supplì, fried cod fillets or pizza by the slice in the Italian capital?

If you haven't yet, I recommend you run out and try them, during this tour you will also have the chance to try the typical desserts of the Jewish tradition as well as the latest innovations in Capitoline street food.

Here ends our story, we hope we have given you some good ideas for your well-deserved vacation. If you decide to follow our advice let us know what you think of the impressive city of Rome and feel free to share with us the places that most involved and excited you.
