Your Itinerary

Rome

You will meet your guide near Pantheon, and embark on your journey through the magnificent Roman legacy.

Roman Forum

Head on to see the next witness of the ancient time. A central market in the past, the Roman Forum now is a square in the center of the city’s oldest part. It used to be the nexus of social and political life for the ancient Romans, gathering them together to discuss important issues of the time, which promoted the word "forum" into many languages of the world. Discover ancient places and antique artifacts from the Sacred Road to the Saturn Temple.

Admission Not Included

Trevi Fountain

Continue collecting the highlights of Rome by reaching the most illustrious Trevi Fountain, located in front of the majestic Palazzo Poli. Constructed following Bernini's plan, the fountain's composition reaches 26 meters high and 20 meters wide, with Neptune in the center. Hear captivating legends about the renowned masterpiece, and don’t forget to throw a coin there to surely come back here again.

Piazza Navona

Pedal through Piazza Navona right to the Four River Fountain to witness one more artwork by Bernini, the second significant fountain in Rome. Following his masterplan statues of four river gods are put around the obelus, symbolizing the Danube (Europe), Gang (Asia), La Plata (America), and Nile (Africa). The square is oval, a reminiscence of an ancient stadium built by Caesar, and for a long time it was a marketplace.

Pantheon

Be astonished by the ancient pagan temple, converted later to the Christian church of Saint Maria and Martyrs and devoted to three Roman gods. Marvel at the well preserved monument of the pre-Christian Roman era and take a chance to see a miraculous ray of light shining from the ceiling.

Admission Not Included

Museo Nazionale di Castel Sant'Angelo

Discover more remarkable sights and approach the Castle of Saint Angel. Having been finished in 135 AD, it was repeatedly rebuilt during its history, playing the role of not only a castle but also a mausoleum, the Pope's residence, storage, and a prison. At present, it houses the Military and History Museum, where you can see a secret archive, Treasure Hall, Pope apartments, Paul III loggia, and many more. Learn the story behind the castle’s name and ride on.

Admission Not Included

St. Angelo Bridge

Enjoy the inimitable atmosphere standing on the St. Angelo Bridge, leading right to the Castle of St. Angel. Dive into the Renaissance as you get surrounded by Bernini’s statues. The most beautiful bridge in Rome crosses the Tiber River with its five arches, three of which are ancient Roman. Get to know some fascinating facts about the history of the place from your local guide, who knows Rome like no other.

St. Peter's Square

(Pass by)

Head to the sacred place for all Catholics and see St. Peter’s Square and St. Peter’s Cathedral in the Vatican with your own eyes. It is the place where thousands of Catholics from all over the world gather to hear the Pope’s speech. Admire the Egyptian obelisk standing right in the center of the square, which has been playing a role as the most ancient astronomic tool.

Teatro di Marcello

Take a look at the Teatro di Marcello, a place with 2,000 years of history. Be amused by how people live in residential medieval buildups to the first and second ancient half-destroyed levels. Wander around and be surprised at how it feels to live in a former theater that saw gladiators sever each other, heard the screams of Roman crowds, and witnessed tortures and executions. The picturesque site is located on the Tiber River and surrounded by three gorgeous white marble columns of the Corinthian Order, the last remnants of the Temple of Apollo, and Bellona, the goddess of Motherland protection.

Piazza Venezia / Ancient City

(Pass by)

Bike through the largest and most magnificent squares of Rome. This is also a crossroads of the principal streets, forming rays in different directions. Be mesmerized by the views of Palazzo Venezia, a gorgeous residence of Petro Barbo, a venetian cardinal who came to be the Pope of Rome afterwards. The ancient buildings were of little value to 15th-century Romans, so the Colosseum and Marcello Theater were as helpful as quarries for the palace and other buildings of that time.

Complesso del Vittoriano

Admire the grandeur of the Vittoriano Compex with its rows of perfectly white columns, statues, and bas-reliefs. Constructed as a memorial to Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of united Italy, it is sometimes considered too pretentions and has been evoking controversies since its opening. Get your own opinion about the structure, sometimes referred to as the “wedding cake”.

Colonna Traiana

(Pass by)

Ride by the remarkable structure of Trajan’s Column, with 23 volutes of bas-relief and at least 2,500 pictures of Romans and Dacians. The images tell about two Dacian wars, and in the past they were in color. The whole structure rises 38 meters above the ground and has stairs inside it that lead to the top of the column.
