Great view all the way to the top and awesome guide! - Weather & view through out the journey to the top was great and we took many photos and videos. The bicycle was in good condition and I was very happy there was a xs size available. I had some trouble with the gears (camagnolo, I am more familiar with Shimano) initially; which Cesare helped me out a few times. There was enough gear to comfortably ascend if you have some decent fitness. I am not exposed much to elevation when riding. Cesare was very patient with me with the ascend & descend of Monte Pellegrino. He took great care of me by always turning back to see if I was still following close by. As we were riding to the top, we stopped twice for me to catch my breath and the view. The first half is hard than the second half. Overall, it’s less than 500m of elevation. Just be mindful that traffic in Palermo is pretty busy. Keep close to Cesare as your guide and it will be all good.

Do this bike trip with Cesare!! - Cesare was wonderful! He knew exactly what bikes would be good for each one of us!! He went at our pace but kept encouraging us to make it to the top… and we’re so glad we did!! Spectacular views and a lot of laughs!!

What a way to work off the pasta!! - What a fantastic morning with Cesare! He was adaptable, ready when we arrived with bikes ready to go. Took the time to make sure we were comfortable and safely guided us to the monte and up it. It was a challenging ride and he encouraged us and took regular breaks from the heat and were rewarded with fabulous views! We would highly recommend to anyone who is a regular cyclist. We would do it again!

What a way to work off the pasta!! - We had such a wonderful time in the trip. It was easy to organize with Cesare and we arrived to bikes waiting and ready to go promptly. He went at our pace and took regular breaks and motivated us all the way….what an accomplishment and what a view!! We wouldn’t hesitate to do it again and recommend it to anyone who bikes regularly and is a strong biker. 👍🏻 all the way!!!

Amazing 25k ride in Palermo with the best tour guide and rental company for carbon bike - Caesar was an exceptional guide, bike partner and rental Provider for my very brief tour of Palermo in Sicily. He even agreed to start early to accomodate my schedule. Awesome ride, amazing vistas, excellent terrain and perfect views. Highly recommended!!

Courteous and friendly cycling guide to enjoy the views over Palermo. - Cesare was brilliant, guiding me through the Palermo traffic and then leading me up the climb of Monte Pelligrino to provide spectacular views across Palermo and the surrounding coast. I was warmly welcomed at his cycle shop by Cesare and his wife. Rental bike adjusted to my requirements and then off we went. If you are looking for a challenging but steady ascent, great views and a thrilling descent then look no further. Grazie Mille Cesare

Conquering Monte Pellegrino - Cesare and his wife were very friendly and fitted the bike to my sizable frame easily. He guided us safely and efficiently through Palermo traffic and stayed with us on the climb and descent of Monte Pellegrino. Cesare really made the the trip enjoyable with his ability, knowledge and friendly banter.

Good workout and great views - Great mountain bike with low enough gears for the climb up to Monte Pellegrino, great views then a fabulous descent

Spectacular Monte Pellegrino with Cesare - The bikes were well maintained. Cesare went out of his way to fit the bike for my husband. The ride was as challenging as wanted. The views were spectacular and Cesare ensured a safe and enjoyable. It was a highlight of visiting Palermo.

Amazing experience, highly recommend! - I booked this tour as a solo experience dueing our cruise stop to ensure I could keep up with my triathlon training and have a unique cycling experience. It was a great 1 on 1 experience with experienced guide! It was easy to take taxi from the port to meeting point and everything was very timely. The bike was great and guide gave orientation to use. I was able to store extra items I brought for after the tour in his shop. He led ride at my pace and skillfully guided me through short ride in streets of Palermo before we reached the base of Mt Pelegrino. The views on the way up and at the top were amazing! It took us 1 hr up and we stopped and took photos on the way. We even saw wild goats on the ride! At the top I was able to enter into beautiful church in a cave. The panoramic view of the ocean, beach and town were well worth the ride up. There were minimal cars on the mountain on the day I went which made it smoother for me. The way down is fast with some cobble stones on curves, but manageable even for a novice road biker like me. It was a very memorable day and I felt like a champion at the end. Guide gave me triathlon training info and shared info about Palermo Tri in the fall. I hope to return then! It was a great experience.
