You must have already heard of the walking tours of Rome which are definitely better than the bus tours that are unable to provide you the actual feel of the ancient city. You must have also understood the fact that a bus tour is better because it covers a larger area. Now you must be wondering how to combine both these qualities of a walking tour and a bus tour. The answer to this is a bicycle tour which keeps you the master of yourself and helps you cover most of the city. So a bicycle tour provides a wider coverage and an awesome experience.

A bicycle tour is of nearly the same duration as a walking tour. That is 3 to 3 and a half hours. The best time of the year when you can peddle through the gorgeous city of Rome is from May to September. It is this period when the historical centre is closed every second Sunday of the month to the autos and motorini. The city is called Isola Verde or "Green Island" in this period because of the environmentally friendly aspect of reduced air and noise pollution. Touring Rome on a bicycle is the perfect way to experience Rome from a “fresh” perspective.

Bicycle tours include nearly all the important aspects of the city of Rome. The definite inclusions are the Colesseum, Trevi Fountain, the Forum, Castel Sant'Angelo, Vatican, Pantheon and Spanish Steps. Other spots arte those of the museums and the parks. Atop a bicycle, you have all the freedom of enjoying Rome in its original light. There are no added pressures to look for parking places as is the case of getting on a motorised vehicle.

Bicycle rides across Rome gives children a sense of ownership too. They love to see where they are going and occasionally stopping to catch up with lunch is an excellent option too, which is not possible with a bus ride. Wine tasting trips and the jewish ghetto trips can also be performed on a bicycle in a single day. Get into the romantic mood with a night trip on a bicycle. The biggest advantage of getting onto a bicycle is that its pollution free and thus can be taken all across Rome, even places restricted for other automobiles.

Bicycles are available all throughout the year and thus there is not much of pressure of getting an advanced booking. Added seats are also available for children with the larger bikes.
