“Cesare was very responsive, helpful, and nice. I was looking for rent a gravel bike to tour the whole island. He was the ONLY one who was willing/able to rent me a gravel bike, despite many other bike rental companies listing gravel bikes on their websites! Everyone else tried to push me to use a hybrid or said unavailable, despite me knowing I wanted a gravel bike with drop bars. Cesare was responsive over text on Whatsapp, and had my bike ready at his shop. It was a great experience working with him.”

Poi le mura della valle dei templi, le stradine interrate, i sentieri, i resti di due piccoli templi il tutto sempre accompagnato da riferimenti storici dei nostri accompagnatori. Che dire poi delle biciclette: fantastiche, è stato semplice anche per me che non avevo esperianza con biciclette elettriche con i cambi. Escursione che consiglio vivame...”

Consiglio questa modalità per visitare Agrigento in modo diverso dal solito ma vi assicuro che vedrete tutto. Bravo Angelo!”

Not only does he take the time to help you with your bike, but he also has lots of interesting stories about Mount Etna, including edible plants that he lets you taste. Is the descent too scary? No problem, we'll go slowly. Fallen and hurt your knee? Gino has disinfectant and bandages. Broken chain? Gino fetches tools from his home so you can get back on your bike in no time. Hikers laugh at you, then cheer you on.…”
Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
