Our tour was with Chiara - it was well paced, informative and fun. Initially, we cycled round the back streets of the Old Town, then went down to the marina, where we tasted delicious cannoli. After that, we continued on cycle tracks ( mostly!) to the new town, before cycling to the cathedral area,where we tasted sublime arancini. Our group was an interesting mix of nationalities and ages and it was great experience. Highly recommended.
Great way to discover Palermo by bike! Chiara was a wonderful guide, born and raised in Palermo, and her personal stories made the tour truly special and inspiring. Just keep in mind that cycling in Palermo’s lively traffic can be challenging, so consider your own cycling experience and confidence. Overall, a memorable experience!
Chiara was a fabulous guide, always made sure we were safe and made the tour enjoyable
Great Tour Great experience But most of all, Great Guide Chiara 🤗🍀❤️
CHIARA was our guide, who is local from Palermo and provided an amazing tour. This is her business and she expertly lead us through the city while we followed on our rented bikes. The restaurant stops were yummy.
What a fantastic bike ride, especially with our cheerful and articulate guide Chiara. It was super in 1 word!!! Recommended for everyone. Greetings Sam and Estella
This was a wonderful biking tour. Our guide Chiara was phenomenal. Very knowledgeable fun and kind. she was patient and kept the tour safe and easy to manage if you are not a strong biker. She was helpful as well to give recommendations for food and shopping. She gave alternatives for people with dietary restrictions for the tastings.
A super fun interesting bike ride! The guide Chiara was so pleasant and funny. She spoke passionately about her beautiful city. Because of him, we came to love Palermo even more ☀️
This must be the best way to tour Palermo. Firstly, Chiara was welcoming and very generous with her knowledge of her city, that she clearly loves. Very personable, fun and made every guest feel welcome. We had a great group on our tour. As a solo attendee, i was made to feel very welcome. The bikes were great, the stops were brilliant and the food tasting was excellent. I really felt I got a good sense of the city on this tour. Palermo is a beautiful and unique city. This tour is a must if you are able to ride a bike.
A fabulous bike tour of the City, with Kiara. Fun and informative, tailored to all abilities. A great way to see the City and its sights. Highly recommended!
