Best bike rental in Palermo - We had a great experience renting bikes here for our week-long trip from Palermo to Agrigento. The touring bikes were reliable, well-maintained, and really comfortable for long days of riding. The rental price was €110 for the week — the best deal we found in Palermo — and it even included a spare inner tube for each bike, which came in handy during the trip. The owner was wonderful to deal with: relaxed, genuine, and fair. Everything was straightforward from start to finish, and our deposit was returned immediately. When one of the bikes lost its kickstand, he didn’t make a fuss about it at all. It’s rare to find a place run with this kind of honesty and kindness. We’ll definitely rent here again. Five stars.

Very enjoyable cycle tour. - We had a very good cycle tour of Palermo on Tuesday 14th October. The guide (Eleanor) was friendly and knowledgeable. She ensured that the cycles were the correct size for us and explained how the gears and brakes worked. The tour was conducted at a very manageable pace and any potential hazards were brought to our attention before we set off on each section. The bicycles were comfortable and well maintained. The whole tour lasted approximately three hours, which included sampling some of the local street food. It was good value and I would recommend this tour.

Elena’s Palermo insights were gold - Most cycling tours feel like more chat than cycling but we covered a fair bit of ground AND got the great Palermo nuggets that only a knowledgeable local can provide. We had a few wobbles with equipment as a group but Elena took it all in stride and got us sorted quickly. The street food tasting was well organised and ACE. After all of Elena’s hot tips, we felt confident armed with our local insider info to wander the streets, hit a few attractions and then get stuck into more street food. We really enjoyed our morning on the bike tour - set us up beautifully for the rest of the day feeling like we’d had a great overview of the areas of the city to explore further.

Unforgettable experience! - A truly unique experience to discover Palermo from a different point of view! The bike tour in the historic center was very pleasant: the perfect pace, neither too fast nor slow, with stops in the most beautiful and rich in history. The guide was prepared, nice and full of interesting anecdotes about the city — you can see that he loves Palermo and knows how to convey his passion. The tasting part was the icing on the cake: fresh and authentic typical products, in a convivial and relaxed atmosphere. Excellent organization, comfortable and fully functional bicycles. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience Palermo in an authentic, fun and sustainable way!

Fabulous Bike Tour of Palermo with Claudio! - This was hands-down one of the best city bike tours we’ve ever done—and we love using them to orient ourselves when we arrive somewhere new. Claudio, our guide, was simply brilliant. As a historian, he struck the perfect balance between history, culture, gastronomy, and fun. His English was excellent, and he seamlessly switched to Italian for another couple in the group—such a lovely way to pick up a few new words! Claudio was fantastic at engaging with everyone, making the experience feel personal and inclusive. The bikes were ideal for navigating Palermo’s beautiful streets, and the pace was just right—relaxed but thorough. We even got to sample some delicious local treats along the way, which added a lovely touch of Sicilian flavour. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Palermo (a bonus if you get Claudio as your guide). It’s a fun filled , insightful, and delicious way to explore the city!

Very Average Tour! - Tour was very 'historical' based with lots of dates but lacking in humour. Easy cycling although the chain jammed in the cogs on one of our bikes and the (contracted) tour guide had no tools to resolve the problem, so he had to borrow some from a local bar. Tasting consisted of fried potato fritters (we were hoping for a slightly more tasty and varied selection). We have been on a lot of city cycle tours and this was pretty average by comparison.
