Incredibly professional company and Luca was an exceptional guide. Communication, pick up, drop off, and the tour itself was a 10/10.

Great to mtb-bike at Etna. Great guide that met expectations. Suitable for people that can bike 20+km and wish to experience vulcanic sand paths.

Very nice experience, the tour guide was wonderful for us and we enjoyed the scenes and ride. The tours can be quite tough if you are inexperienced.
There was enough time to rest and enjoy the scenery.

Bike Sicily picked us up at the ship as planned. Beautiful ride up to mount Etna. We biked but my husband and I struggled a bit due to altitude, and probably our state of fitness. Luca, our guide, was supportive and understanding and let us have breaks as needed. He then drove us to the top to see the crater. A wonderful experience

If you want to see Mt. Etna and love MTB, this is an excellent tour. You ride on the south side of the peak with great views of the summit and towns and valleys below. You don’t go to the top. It is absolutely beautiful, and we were even pleasantly surprised to ride through a swarm of thousands of lady bugs!
I did the half day extreme tour, and loved it. It isn’t extreme as far as obstacles or challenging single track, but there are some mild obstacles, and we did a lot of climbing (~2000 ft total). If you aren’t a skilled, in shape rider, do the easier tour.
They provided a decent bike, energy packs, helmet and windbreaker.
Luca, my guide, was great, and booking was easy. Highly recommended for mountain bikers who want to see Mt. Etna in a unique way.

We spent an awesome morning at Etna. The Tour was challenging enough, the landscape was beautiful and the bikes worked well.
Our guide Luca led the Tour in a wonderful way, with his diverse facts about the Sicilian lifestyle and Ethna.

We had a fantastic day with Luca. He picked us up in the old town of Catania and drove us all the way up to the starting point, approximately 1 hour drive. Luca had good equipment with him, one normal MTB and one E MTB.
During the ride Luca shared a lot of information of mount Etna, eruptions and the landscape with us, which was really great.
Halfway, Luca let us decide if we wanted to take the Easy Plus tour or the Advance/Extreme tour back. We took the latter and that was really not disappointing. What a magnificent landscape!
Although the trails were technical, with some good MTB experience and the right equipment (E MTB) or physical shape they can be done well.
Thank you Luca for this wonderful day!

We had the mtb easy plus tour in April. The reservation of the tour was very easy, thanks to the efficiency and politeness of the staff.
We really enjoyed the routes, the difficulty was just right and the landscapes were breathtaking... from woods to lava flows. The guide was very competent and enjoyable, keeping safety always first for all the routes we have made. He also told us interesting facts about Etna, the geology, the history and the deep relationship between the vulcan and sicilians people. I truly recommend this tour to get an unforgettable experience. Thank you Luca!!
