Our guide, Luigi, was excellent. He was very patient with our slow pace and informative about the surrounding area. It was hot the day we cycled up Mt Etna at 91 deg F.....Luigi kept us topped off with fluids from the local water fountains and our water bottles. The bikes we rented from them were top notch. Highly recommend them for anyone who desires to cycle Mt Etna.

The best and most gruelling ride in a long time. This is so long overdue. So first off my apologies! The scenery, the hospitality and the ride was a trip to remember.

The overall experience was great and would definitely do this again with Leonardo. However, I would make small adjustments in planning for a better experience. - Set expectations for you guest such as bring your own food and drinks. I thought there was going to be a rest stop between climbs to fuel up...only water powered me through the ride. Next time, I will bring more food and proper hydration - Set expectations that we need to climb at a minimum of around 6-10km/hr avg. otherwise the ride will be too long. I cramped up near the end so we ended completed the entire ride in 4hrs. I think to let everyone know that max ride time is around 5-6hrs. - While Leonardo set the pace and lead the ride it was just him and I. While he did his best to guide me through the climb it would have been better for him to set the pace based on my conditioning. I was soloing until the next regroup point after I cracked with cramps. These are very minor points and like I said would definitely recommend to all my friends.

I had a one on one guided road bike tour with Enrico. Booking was easy and email communication was quick and responsive. I hired my bike. We did the Wine Routes tour. Enrico was incredibly informative about the countryside that we rode through. The highlight for me was the climb to Castiglione di Sicilia and the views from Castello di Lauria. A thoroughly enjoyable ride and Enrico was a very friendly and professional guide. Highly recommended!
