Great experience, lovely man
The tour was enjoyable. A great introduction to the city!
Antony gave us clear instructions on how to get through the city. We had a blast, went to Mondello and Capo di Gallo, and found some grat gelato brioche on the way back. Also took a train to Castellomare di Golfo and explored that city.
Very reliable, honest, and ready to help in times of need.
Very attentive and helpful with us. Great price and excellent location. 100% recommended!
Excellent guide Fabio. Very knowledgeable and great enthusiasm.
Super professional, Antony is very professional and takes care of the customer. Highly recommended
Great tour with a good atmosphere and interesting information. We have already participated for the second time. And we would gladly come back. Thank you very much :-)
Great! nice owner! Highly recommend!
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.
