EXCELLENT - Very good
I recommend without reservation.
Valeria is an excellent guide and is so keen to share her Sicily. She tries to make us forget the preconceptions that many of us had about Sicily and the Mafia.
Well maintained bikes. Anthony very adequate to prepare each bike before departure.
Comments through headphones for each customer a real plus

Lots of fun! - Lots of fun! We rode at a pleasant pace and our guide was very amicable and knowledgeable. She fully answered all questions that people had, regardless of if they were tour related or more general about Sicilian culture - we learned a lot. The street food provided was tasty. Definitely recommend!

Nice way to tour Palermo - We picked up the bikes in a really central location. Set off around quattro canti and saw all of the landmarks in close proximity. Ended with some local Palermo nibbles. Really worth doing if you want to see quite a few of the sights in a shorter space of time

Culture by bike - A great experience. I really enjoyed the tour. A bit of different way to explore Palermo. If you like bicycling or a bit of exercise it is something for you. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a small lunch at the end of the trip in a local shop with with was a bonus.

This bike tour was great fun - Laura was a great guide, very knowledgable, interesting and amusing.
Our family of 4 adults thoroughly enjoyed our bike tour through the streets of Palermo and even cycling around the port area. Laura pointed out some of the main sights and a break with tasting of street food was also included. She was helpful in offering suggestions of places to eat and drink too.

Palermo on a bike - I loved the tour and my guide. My only complaint is that I had to pay for 2 people, even though I was solo. It was still worth it.
