5-star Palermo bicycle tour. - My husband and I recently did this bike tour, which was one of the best! Chiara, the owner of this small tourist company, is the actual person who guides the group around Palermo. She takes you to some of the prominent tourist attractions but also some of the hidden gems and gives a perspective from a true Palermo local. I 100% recommend this tour. However, it’s a little hard going on a bike on some of the cobblestoned streets, but she is highly aware and conscientious about her group.

Informative and enjoyable - Relaxed and very informative. Till date this is my most enjoyable city bike tour. Chiara the host was very welcoming, professional and knowledgeable about Palermo. The bikes were not electric (I prefer this personally) but it didn’t matter because the terrain is mainly flat. I used same gear through out the tour. We all had an intercom-like device which meant we could hear the host all throughout without having to strain to hear. We were shown several important landmarks. Really enjoyed it, would do it again if I could!

Great sneak peek of Palermo - Great way to learn a bit about Palermo in a fun way. Chiara got in touch beforehand to check we had all info we needed to find bike office and managed to delay start of tour for us as we were stuck on a train, really appreciated that. Palermo was Sicily bonkers and tour really gave a flavour of that. Would recommend for all Palermo first timers as a way to get a sense of city. Head sets were a good idea

Great guide who cares for her guests - Chiara was a fabulous guide - knowledgeable and open to questions, whilst caring about her guests and regularly checking everyone was ok - all with a smile. The Bluetooth headsets worked really well. Bikes well maintained. The old town is better for cycling than I imagined! When my daughter had some difficulty towards the end of the tour it was no problem for Chiara to allow us finish a bit early - which was a shame but much appreciated - part of the caring for guests. We were missing one family member due to an emergency, who is sad to have missed the tour. I would recommend this tour as a way to hear about Palermo and Sicily from a local.

All of Palermo in 3 hours - A great (and bumpy) way to get around and see multiple parts of Palermo. Chiara put together a great tour around town, showing the historic city, new city, the port, a stop for a arancini, and good information to understand the setup of the town. It was blistering hot, but she found shade adequately, and over three hours we were able to see almost all of Palermo! Great recommendations as we went along, so bookmark those spots to return in the evening. Recommend!

Perfect way to see all of Palermo on a very hot day, with very knowledgeable guide! - We wanted to see Palermo and this was definitely the best way to do that in very little time! We clocked 10 km during this tour which made us see the old town, the churches, cathedral, palace, the new harbor, and much more. The heat was definitely a concern, but the wind from biking was cooling and made it much easier to stand. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and was happy answer all questions about Sicily and Palermo. She was funny, warm, and took very good care of the group. This was a big success and I cannot recommend this experience enough!
