Great experience with Palermonbike; the kind Antony welcomed us and helped us organize our tour in Palermo, including Mondello for the beach, with information about the bike paths in Parco Favorita (recommended) and those for the city center. Beautiful experience; we will definitely return in September, always with the bikes, congratulations.
