Matteo was a great guide, who allowed my shy 13yo son to get out of his comfort zone and have a blast biking around the city. It was our last day on a quick visit to Rome, and we were able to see lots of gems that we otherwise would have missed. Matteo was friendly, knowledgeable and a great trouble-shooter when we had some unexpected road closures. I would highly recommend.Great way to see city highlights

It was wonderful to start my first time in Rome with this bike tour. We managed to get a great idea of Rome on the first day. We went along beautiful trails within the parks around Rome and visited the main tourist attractions. It was great to have a bit of nature and a bit of the city on the same tour. Mateo is extremely kind, he knows Rome very well, he has excellent bikes and respects everyone's rhythm.Great experience

we really enjoyed our afternoon. Matteo was very friendly and set out a varied and wonderful tour from through the woods to the historic center to along the tiber. The bikes were top too. wow (and luckily electric with the roman hills). a wonderful experience throughout. wonderful experience

I enjoyed this tour very much. Matteo was kind, on-time, helpful and happy to answer any questions we had along the way. The bikes are relatively easy to figure out and Matteo took the time before the ride to explain their features. I must say this tour is not for everyone. The bikes are assisted by battery powered motors but you will still expend some effort pedalling through Rome. Plus the route Matteo chose for us brought us through some dirt pathways, wooded areas and even stairs. You will also ride along busy city streets where you must be cautious and alert. Otherwise, it was fantastic to cover so much ground seeing Villa Borghese Park, The Spanish Steps, The Altar of the Fatherland and much more. Also you'll get to see some lovely Roman neighbourhoods most tourists miss. This is a great tour for those who enjoy being outside and on the move!On the move in Rome!

We had an excellent morning riding around Rome with Matteo. He was was very knowledgeable and took us to parts of the city more untouched. The e-bikes were high quality and so fun to ride around town. Grazie Matteo!A perfect morning in Rome

Seeing Rome and two of its beautiful parks on bike was so much fun. The ride was the perfect combination of city and trail riding and the ride home along the Tiber was a perfect way to finish the day. It was a great, active way to see the city. My teenage boys had a blast too.
Matteo is a great guy, a great tour guide and generally just fun to be with for a few hours. We are grateful to him for our entire experience. Perfect for our whole family

We very much enjoyed our trip with Matteo, and the electric bikes were very good on Rome’s many hills!
Matteo took us through two large parks and neighborhoods before entering the touristic center. We largely stayed on park roads and bike lanes and felt very safe, despite the infamous Roman traffic.
This is a great way to get an overview of Roma and also enjoy the large green areas! Recommended :)Lovely, safe biketour in Rome

Wir genossen eine Super-Velotour mit Matteo und konnten dabei auch Orte abseits der Touristenrouten kennenlernen, z.B. den Veloweg dem Tiber entlang. Die Menschenmassen in Rom konnten wir somit teilweise umgehen und haben trotzdem sehr viel von Rom gesehen. Auch auf individuelle Wünsche ist Matteo eingegangen. Sehr zu empfehlen!Mountainbiketour in Rom

We had so much fun on our ebikes with Matteo. He took us to Villa Ada and to Villa Borghese, exploring parts of Rome that we had never seen before. Matteo was professional, attentive...and fun! Knowledgeable and made our trip completely enjoyable. Highly recommended!A Real Rockin' Roma Experience on Bikes with Matteo

Spent a wonderful morning in Rome with Matteo exploring parks, the old city and along the Tiber. The bikes were high end and well maintained. Mountain ebikes made the trip easy for our group of varied experience. Matteo was an excellent shepherd and kept us all safe along the route He was engaging and informative. We greatly enjoyed meeting him and spending time together. The parks were lovely. Seeing the city from the river was a new experience. Highly recommend this tour!! Fun informative ebike ride with excellent vistas!

An eMTB is the perfect machine to discover Rome and its beautiful parks and villa's on the surrounding hills. You discover an entire city and not only the highlights while having the real mountainbike fun, on high and and well maintained electric mountainbikes. Matteo is like an old friend you didn't see for years and now is proud to show his favorite spots in his hometown. We spent an absolutely unforgettable afternoon and slept very well.

Matteo will show you the real leisure side of Rome, with many of the city highlights included. Beautiful parks, quit viewpoints, hidden ruïnes.
He is a very knowledgeable and friendly guide, adapting program to your wishes en true Rome/outdoor enthusiasts:
Bikes are great, you decide the intensity and if you are keen on singletrack and/or taking some steps: no problem these beauties are up for it.
Highly recommended and highlight of our trip.Now this is a tour you want to take!

Thank you Matteo for a fabulous bike tour through Roma. It was great to see many city monuments and ride through some city streets, but we particularly loved riding in two of Roma's large parks. The lookout view was a bonus. In addition, thank you for the photos you took and the video clip you edited and sent through of us. They are great memories of our day.Fabulous E-Bike Tour

Pyöräilyn ystävinä ja sähköpyöräilijöinä, koimme vaimon kanssa tämän kierroksen aivan loistavana tapana nähdä sekä Rooman keskustaa, että sen puistoja ja myös Via Appia. Pyysimme siis Matteolta 5 tunnin kierrosta 3 tunnin sijaan. Näin saimme kokea vähän enemmän "samalla vaivalla" ja meidän ei tarvinnut pitää kovaa kiirettä. Matteo osasi kertoa paljon asioita, mitä normaalit oppaat yleensä eivät ehkä kerro. Toisaalta hänellä ei ole syventävää tietoa Rooman historiasta, kuten virallisilla oppailla. Tämä kannattaa siis ottaa ensisijaisesti polkupyöräseikkailuna. Pääset näkemään paikkoja, joihin et muuten olisi osannut mennä. Pyörät olivat uusia Moustache ja KTM täysjousto sähköpyöriä Boschin Performance CX moottoreilla. Todella hienot kyydit sai!!! Aivan mahtava kokemus!

We had a great trip with Matteo. This was the first day in Rome with my two teenage boys. Matteo was super respsonsive on "With locals". He has top notch e mountain bikes and equipemnt - the best I have tried so far. We had a great trip exploring some forest tracks and going through the city - always safety first. This gave us a great first glance at top sites. An extra bonus was that he took videos of our entire trip and great pictures. He immedaitely edited them on the same day and now we have a very cool memory - All included in the price. Thanks a lot - highly recommend!Perfect way to see Rome with teenagers

Superb! A lot of fun and the perfect balance between city and nature.
You get to see a lot of the city, even a few highlights, even if we could not go to the historic city center with the bikes.
A really fun experience and original way of discoverin a city. On top that Matteo takes really good care of us during the tour.
I am jealous of the next person booking that tour!Magnifique

My 2 kids and I did a 3 hour bike tour with Matteo on electric bikes through Rome. My kids are in their 20's and we are all pretty good bikers so Matteo brought us into some park trails which was great for my son and then we biked into the city proper. Crowds were tough on a busy Saturday in June but being on the bikes allowed us to cover so much of the city. Matteo was super flexible given our jet lag (we had just arrived that morning and had gotten no sleep) and was very informative and fun to spend time with. I think this is a great way to get your bearings when visiting a new city and you can decide from there what you want to go back and see. The electric bikes were awesome; I may never want to ride a regular bike again. Great Way to See the City

FIVE STARS *****
We visited Rome for a long weekend, just the two of us. Our trip was amazing but Matteo really made it! Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see Rome off the beaten track, we saw so much of Rome and really got an insight into the culture - loved it. We saw parts of Rome we would have otherwise ignored or never have seen and can’t thank Matteo enough for taking us there.
Can’t wait for more adventures! Fantastic time & unique experience

Matteo is a great guide who knows his way around Rome (not only the highlights in the city center but also the trails in the hills and parks)! He can tell you all about the history of Rome. As a bonus he even took great pictures and made a video!
I really enjoyed the trails on Monte Mario. What a superb view of Rome!
Matteo is friendly and service oriented. He can adjust the tour according to your wishes and experience.
If you want to experience Rome in a different way I can highly recommend a tour with Matteo!
Cool E-MTB tour with great guide!

Me gustó mucho la experiencia. No es fácil andar en bicicleta en Roma. Con motor eléctrico es más liviano. La ruta nos llevó por parques, por el centro y por el lado del rio Tiberio. Los mountainbikes son buenos, pero no para chicas pequeñas. Es buena tener experiencia con los mountainbikes. Nos gustaría nuevamente andar con bici con Matteo. Una experiencia especial

Matteo was great! Very flexible with our schedule and adjusted our tour to our desires. We went into some gorgeous parks, one with an incredible view of Rome. Then we circumvented the heart of the busy city (at our request) and took a scenic ride down the Tiber. Matteo was knowledgeable and kind and took pictures of us with his professional camera. Would definitely recommend this tour!Fantastic bikeride!

Matteo was such a knowledgable tour guide. He really knows his city and the electric bikes were an absolute blast. Easy to use and really assisted on hills. You can use as little or as much of the electric power as you want. It was the perfect tour to see the beautiful parks and gardens in Rome. I took my three teenage children for a break from all the museums and we had a fantastic afternoon. Matteo was even kind enough to take photos of our family and send them to us after the tour! I highly recommend this tour. Absolute Blast!

We are a family of four (two teens) and this was the perfect way to get out of the crowds and see some of the natural beauty of Rome! The mountain ebikes added some adventure and something to “do” for the teens! Matteo was a fabulous guide, completely tailoring the tour to our wishes and pace! The colosseum is mind blowing, the Vatican amazing, but this was my favorite activity in Rome!Must do!

We have a great ride with Matteo. We were a party of four of various ages from 26 -70. the electric mountain bikes were awesome and Matteo took us through Villa Borghase down into the centre of Rome to see the sights. He was expert at picking the safest route through the traffic and we never felt at risk. He explained te sites as we arrived at each. There was also some more challenging down hill trails in the parks which were optional. Weather was great as well. Well done M Great ride with Matteo

We had a great time it was fun to ride with him through the city and the parks. The possibility to go of the tracks gives you an advantage. Mateo takes in account the capabilities of the different riders and gives them different oppertunities! He takes his time and we even got some great photos afterwards.Great Electric Mountain Bike Tour

Matteo is positive and funny, his tour is not just a bike tour is more about an experience. First of all because his bikes are electric so you can cycle everywhere in Rome (considering Rome was built on seven hills); second point that his electric bike with big wheels can bring you to the countryside of Rome which could be an interesting area to see (Appia Antica, Tombe di Cecilia Metella and Catacombs).
He can personalize his tour and he wants to show not the tourist streets to the guests. He is kind and sportive, he 's able to make you comfortable and help you if you have any problems with your bike.Electric Mountain Bike Tour: Parks & City

Matteo is a very friendly, likable guide providing a truly exceptional experience. The electric assisted bikes are amazing - very little effort required if you desire an easy ride around the lovely parks and streets of this beautiful city. It does help to have some experience of riding a bike, but otherwise it is suitable for everyone wishing to see Rome from a different perspective. As a family of four, with two teenagers, the best accolade I can give, is that we would all definitely do it again!! Great fun!

More about me
Hello to all bikers and explorers of an unexpected Rome. My name is Matteo. I own a little web agency but I'm also an outdoor enthusiast.
Tired of working only in front of a computer for hours, I've decided to start also an activity that allows me to share my passions: mountainbiking and the love for my beautiful city.
But I'm still a tech guy. That's why I rent bikes that combines fun and technology: electric MTB with Bosch Ebike System. They are great for everyone to enjoy biking in long trail or in challenging climbs: riders can choose the electric help level according to their athletic training and trail difficulty. Everyone can reach destinations that can't even imagine, playing sport at the same time.
