With a couple of friends I made this tour. After a pleasent ride, with a coffee stop, we arrived at Villa Romana del Casale, where we admired the beautiful mosaïcs. In the neighborhood from the Villa, Giovanni arranged a nice lunch at a very good restaurant. After that we continued the journey to the Valle dei Templi, where we enjoyed the wonderful temples and a stunning sunset. Giovanni has an comfortable car, is an excellent driver, is enthusiastic, very kind and is doing his utmost to make you feel at ease. It was a marvelous day. Highly recommended!

We experienced a misunderstanding, causing us to pay for the cable railway to go to the top of mount Etna without using it. The bus driver, Alessandro, was extremely understanding and helped us to get the money back. Top service and a very nice experience.

I had a rough time finding a good place to find quality road bikes but once I found sicicla it was really smooth. The bikes are rented at a fair price (20/30€ a day for bikes worth 1000-2000€) with all the equipment needed (lock, helmet). They have an impressive collection of bikes which is waiting for a post Covid summer. The owner is a really nice guy who provided me with a great tour (Monreale and the coast) with breathtaking views. I also went to Cefalu that I can’t recommend more. The coastal roads of Sicily are a great fit for road bikes!
