“This was a cool way to see Palermo and cover a lot of ground. We had not been on bikes for years but this was not difficult.

“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.”

Explore Palermo by bike, honoring Falcone and Borsellino while learning how Addiopizzo and Libera challenge Mafia power today.
“Being on bikes allowed us to see important historical sites outside of Palermo center. We biked on both the road and bike paths, and it was safe and not strenuous. Our guide told us fascinating stories that gave the context for how the Mafia worked and how resistance was built and is still ongoing. He also had a personal connection to the history, being a child living in a building across from one of the bombings. It gave me an appreciation for how change takes place as the result of the actions of many ordinary and extraordinary people, a message I needed to hear more than ever now. Highly recommended.”

“Mike was an awesome guide. Took me on a great private trail to see Parlemo from a different vantage point. Even with an e-bike it was a workout!”
