We took the 1 hour tour with Nicholas (sorry if I misspelled your name!). Very sweet, personable and funny young man who was very knowledgeable about the Island. We saw all the major sites listed. I almost wish the tour was longer. He was even kind enough to take a picture with our travel buddies Hootie and Bubbles!

What a pleasant and surprising ride we made with Nikolas. He showed us interesting things and told us nice stories, everything with enthusiasm and humor. A very kind guy! Great way to discover Ortigia! Grazie mille!

David gave us an informative, lighthearted and fun tour of Siracusa/Ortiga. We enjoyed hearing his local point of view and the interesting history of the area. We got a chance to see all major points of interest giving us a chance to explore further at our leisure. David was high energy and a pleasure to learn from.

When we booked this tour, we received a voucher that stated the time for the tour as 12am! I spent a fair amount of time contacting Velobike using the number provided to try and figure out when I could actually schedule the tour. Each time I called, I spoke to a different person and my best guess is that my call was being forwarded to the next available driver. I made arrangements with one, who had great English, to meet near the cruise terminal at a specific time. But we were done with our boat tour early and when we called that driver, he was unfortunately on a different tour. However, there was another Velobike available near the meeting point and the driver of that one recognized the phone number I had for the original driver—so he called him, got his blessings and took us instead. The driver we got was wonderful—he had excellent English and was very personable. He took us to the Duomo, the Arethusa Spring, and pretty much all over Ortigia and he made the ride interesting with his commentary. A quick, easy and unique way to get around the island! Highly recommend it!

The driver was prompt on pick up. Our guide was pleasant and knowledgeable of the few sites you can see in a short time. I felt disappointed for the money spent and small amount of time included. For the cost the tour, it should be at least an hour in my opinion as the guest. Gratzi

There was a lady by a sign as we exited the cruise port offering 30 or 60 minute Velo bike tours. 10$ deposit and then return at your chosen time and pay balance of 40$. We chose 60 minutes but only got 35 minutes and they insisted it had been a full 60. Driver played a few pre-recordings, showed us the back of a fountain and 10 minute drop off at church. Not what we paid for or expected. It could of been good...so pre-book with good company.

Such a unique way to see Ortigia. Mad was an awesome tour guide and he is so knowledgeable about the history of Ortigia. Our teenage kids loved this tour. The Velobike can go down streets that are only for pedestrians. Don’t hesitate to book this

A wonderful experience! Our guide, Madalin, gave us a lot of valuable information. We felt good and in the following days it was easier for us to identify the most important objectives in Oriegio, thanks to the initial velobike tour.

Very vibrant and well spoken young gentleman who demonstrated a great amount of knowledge about the city and culture of Siracusa. Being driven around is by far the way to go. Nikolas and Daniel were great!
