Hello I'm Nicola and I was born and raised in Trastevere in the very centre of Rome. Since I was a child I loved to show my places to friends and visitors and make them feel completely at ease walking in the narrow streets of my city. Today many things are changed…I remember during the 80s when the area was full of handmade workshops, the kids like me were still playing soccer in the streets and you could feel a strong identity of the neighborhood. Nowadays many restaurants and clubs have been opened and the noise of the trolleys on the "sanpietrini" (the typical kind of pavement in the centre of Rome) can be heard everywhere! Anyway a real Rome still exists and it is exactly this one I want to show you, your buddies or your kids. I can arrange tour for families as well, I have three kids. I attended the classical high school, I graduated in "Geography" .The passion of showing my city and its surroundings became a real work almost more than ten years ago when I started to work with the Richmond University in Rome carrying out outdoor activities for the students. At the moment I collaborate also with other American universities based in Rome organizing all the "not touristic" tours. In the last five years I started to carry out private tours for travelers who want to visit the "other side" of Rome creating personalised itineraries. I'm a curious and positive person and my background of studies allows me to show you the city from a geographical point of view focusing on a mix of historical information, anecdotes and curiosities involving as much as possible the participants. Social aspects, history, Architecture, anecdotes about Rome and a bit of culinary make my experiences much more appealing and complete to understand different aspects of the Italian culture. I'm also a tireless traveler and I am convinced that having spent so much time in contact with other cultures allows me to enter easily in tune with people. During my tours I like to stop by my favourite places to have a coffee, a supplì (ball of rice with mozzarella inside typical of Rome), a slice of pizza or a gelato. Most of my itineraries are by bicycle or electric bicycle since I've always loved to ride my bike. In recent years I started promoting cycling in Rome with a bicycle association, for which I'm the president, most of all through elementary school educational projects. What is important for me is your complete satisfaction and I will do my best to match your needs. If there is something specific you want to visit, to eat or know I will be glad to make it possible, just let me know. Write me also to have any suggestion or advice about Rome and its surroundings, it will be a pleasure to help you. I can costumize any of the tours according to your needs and expectations, just let me know. I am not a driver but I can arrange transport from the place you are to the meeting point, even for shore excursions. See you soon.

Overview of your Rome tour

Rome is famous for its seven hills and it is exactly the top of these we will reach to observe and admire the breathtaking views of the city. We will start the experience in Trastevere where we will take our bicycles or electric bicycles. We will ride for around 15 km on a circular itinerary in the city center stopping by the most scenographic spots; not only peaks but also insane views from the bridges and from the quays of the Tevere river. Bring a camera with you! I have always loved looking out over the buildings or from the vantage points to get an overview of what surrounds me; during the stops we will have fun recognizing the several monuments visible from the different spots: the Altare della Patria for which Romans have given it a number of humorous and somewhat uncomplimentary nicknames, including la torta nuziale ("the wedding cake"), the Pantheon with its holed dome and the always-there San Peters' dome just to name a few.

Nicola did a great job of navigating the busy streets and alleys to show us sights we never would have seen without him. We saw an incredible number of sights and we really appreciated his knowledge and patience. It was very crowded in some areas and some roads were busy but all in all , totally enjoyed this tour

We had a wonderful time seeing the city on two wheels. Nicola was a great guide as we navigated the streets and alleyways of Rome. We would highly recommend this to anyone who is comfortable on a bicycle.

This was our favorite thing we did in Rome. Nicola is excellent! We opted for e-bikes and were amazed at how much we were able to see. He knows the city like the back of his hand! We requested a few specific stops and he was very accommodating. The views from the hilltops were spectacular and we were able to enjoy seeing the city without being bogged down by the crowds.

Amazing way to see Rome through a local’s eyes. Nicoli quickly understood what we wanted to see and experience and he seamlessly provided a tour that met our expectations. He found a bike rental location near our hotel so meeting was easy. Somehow he avoided Jubilee crowds as we peddled through tourist areas. We spent time exploring and learning about parts of the city we would never have seen on foot or from a tourist bus. He provided exactly the tour we wanted. This is the way to explore Rome!
