I recently took the "All Day" Tour and absolutely loved it! Glenn is a great knowledgeable guide. This is such a perfect way to spend a day in Rome. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Rome especially for the first time. Great way to get a lay of the land.

Recently spent four days in Rome and booked the sunset tour thinking it would be a great way to cover some ground and see some different sights after a full day checking out the normal tourist spots. We had a great time and Glenn was really accommodating with a novice cyclist and even had a seat and helmet for the... More

What a great trip. I'm a 61 year old well-travelled guy, and this was one of the best travel experiences I have ever had. Bravo!

Hi, we took our children ( 8 & 10) on this cycling tour. It is really great, and really not dangerous ( as many people assume). Our girls loved it; the perfect combination of seeing cultural stuff and action. Not nearly as tiring as walking. Our guide was charming and knowledgable, native english and fluent italian, and showed us stuff... More

Glenn is a great tour guide, and he really shows you the majority of the worthwhile sites on the tour. In the morning, we saw the inner city with all of the important stops (listed on his website), and then took a break for lunch, which was included in the tour ticket price. After lunch, Glenn had to take care... More

Taking a cycle tour round an unknown city is a really great way to see the sights but with the real benefit of lots of interesting information that doesn't make it into the formal tour guides. There is the added benefit of avoiding the sore feet feeling at the end of the day. The Red Bicycle Touring Organisation is a... More

We decided to take the Rome City Tour on our first morning in Rome to get a good overview of the city! Best idea ever and we had such a great time on our bike tour with Glenn! It was actually just my friend and myself on the tour, so it was basically a private tour. It was a tour... More

Having arrived in Rome the previous evening the first thing we did in the morning was the Red Bicycle Tour with Glenn Newland. I had pre booked this on his website before leaving Australia. I would highly recommend this as a first day activity as you will get to see a lot of Rome with commentary from an interesting and... More

We were in Rome for one night in October 2012. Have been to Rome a couple of times so didn't need to visit The Vatican, Colosseum etc, so decided a bike ride through this mad city was a good idea at the last minute. We rang Glenn on the day he was so helpful and went out of his way... More

My boyfriend and I weren't sure which tour we wanted to do, so we booked with Glenn to do the city tour in the morning and then decide at lunchtime if we were going to continue. The weather was beautiful so were continued down the Appian Way in the afternoon. The city tour was my favourite part as it was... More
