Bikes are in good condition, the women at the counter had already prepared everything perfectly and was extremely friendly. Returning the bikes was also very straightforward.

- 982olesyao0 contributions👍Palermo by bike!👍I highly recomend Sicicla to rent your holliday bikes. We were with a family of four. Sergio prepared the bikes perfectly fitting us, including our kids. Him and his colleagues were very helpful and insightful. They gave us some ideas how to go around Palermo and Mandello and also contacted the travel guide on our behalf for a city tour by bikeWritten July 31, 2024
- zoraw680 contributionswonderful cycle tour from PalermoMe and my friend made a bycycle tour from Palermo to 'Riserva Naturale Orientata dello Zingaro' and the bikes where perfect to cycle for the longdistance and we got well equiped with 'ortlieb' cyclingbags. The staff was also super friendly and flexibel with the hours of bringing the bikes back. Thanks for everything, we loved to explore sicily on the bike.Written July 14, 2024
- jcesare0 contributionsMountain Bike Italy - Mt Pelligrino - SicilyThe trip was exciting and our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He also created space for us when we were in traffic and looked out for cars. The views were spectacular as well.Written May 8, 2024
- Jtavo0 contributionsBest place to rent bikes in PalermoI highly recommend Sicicla for bike rental in Palermo! Sergio was fantastic, he not only provided the bike and equipment needed, he gave destination suggestions as well as maps. The bikes were in perfect working order with no issues. Truly fantastic, I rented for a couple of days and will return to Sicicla every time.Written May 7, 2024
- F4149DHaleksandram0 contributionsHighly recommend Sergio! 🙃👌During my stay in Palermo I wanted to rent a road carbon bike to visit Corleone and I was lucky to bump in to Sergio because of his profesionalism and sympathy. I found there a great choice of bikes for rent and I was happy to find a size S which is hard to find, the bike was in a great condition, got all the gear there and Cannondale was perfect for climbing the hilly route. Also, the owner made a route with me according my wishing destination choosing the roads with less traffic and gave me tips on what to visit on a way. The price for the rent was reasonable and didn't need to give a deposit.Written April 9, 2024
- GSch120 contributionsAwesome Gravel Bike rental experienceGreat experience with Sergio. Responsive on email and WhatsApp from first booking two bikes in the right size over email from the US (we went for gravel bikes considering the roads) to late night adjustments to the routes I had picked out ahead of time. Always on time, good English communications, happy to swap our saddles and pedals on the bikes. Bikes were Al gravel bikes with 40mm tires and Shimano GRX. Ran dead silent, great disc brakes. He knows every road and gravel track in the area so we ended up on some really pretty and quiet segments on our 40-50M rides. Riding in the city itself is a real adventure. Very attentive drivers but boy 😀, it's chaos.Written April 8, 2024
- Kikikatjap0 contributionsGravel bike rental and great advicesI had a fantastic experience renting a gravel bike for my solo Sicily Divide trip from Sicicla agency. I visited the agency a day before my journey began to check the bike. They were friendly enough to provide duffle bags so I could pack everything and be ready the next morning. My extra luggage was stored at their shop during my ride. Sergio ensured I had all the necessary equipment and offered a couple of friendly and practical suggestions for the trip. Since I didn't have a credit card, I left my passport as a guarantee, which was very convenient. Traveling alone for the first time, I was initially a bit worried, but having contact with someone who understood my plans made me feel much more at ease. Luckily, I didn't need to contact anyone as everything went smoothly without any flat tires or other issues along the way. Treat yourself to a lovely Sicilian jersey available at their shop. Thanks a lot Sicicla!Written December 4, 2023
- MikkoR3070 contributionsGreat Bike Shop in the center of Palermo.Sergio is your man if you need to know anything about bikes or cycling in and around Palermo. Bikes for rent are great quality and service just perfect and kind. Recommended 100%!Written November 23, 2023
- Henrik S0 contributionsEasy rental serviceVery easy to get in touch with, and hazzlefree rental. I even got a proposal for a route, created on site and exported as a gpx-file for my bike computer. Wouldn't have been able to find those roads without the support. Tried a road and a gravel bike. Both were in excellent mechanical state. The roads in Palermo are rough though, but a lot better when you get out in the countryside.Written November 17, 2023
- 503elviat0 contributionsSergio the BEST Tour GuideI can’t recommend this company enough. Sergio was the ultimate tour guide!!! I was having a really hard day biking on our tour and Sergio was so patient, calm and very protective of me as I tried to navigate heavy traffic. I bent the handle bars on his bike and he just calmly fixed the problem. The sweetest man possible🙏. Thank you Sergio for putting up with my novice biking skills with such patience and care🙏🩷Written November 9, 2023

- Safari412564664080 contributionsGood bike, great price, great service.I needed a city bike on short notice and Sergio accommodated me that day. The bike was in good shape and worked very well. The price was excellent, especially considering that the lock, helmet and quick repair kit were included. The helmet was clean and in good functioning condition and the lock was a decent u-lock. I had zero malfunctions in the 35km I rode over 2 days. I will definitely return here for my next rental in Palermo.Written November 1, 2023
- tdfam20 contributionsOutstanding biking experienceBike was the same in the ad picture. Very nice, comfortable, and fast bike with great disc brakes.

- Culture279951565180 contributionsHighly recommendedWe highly recommend this rental service, we rented e-bikes for 24 hours, zipped around Palermo then off to the beach in Mondello. The bikes operated perfectly. Francesco was fantastic, friendly, funny and informative. He was very accommodating, interrupted his day with his dog to meet us for the return.Written October 18, 2023

Our guide, Sergio, was terrific in every way! My husband in an avid cyclist but I am not and overestimated my ability for this ride. Sergio was patient and very helpful and managed to find me an electric bike for the return trip which made all the difference. Thank you for everything, Sergio!

My wife, I and our two friends rented bicycles from Sicicla for a ride and tour to Mondello. All four bicycles were excellent. Well maintained and in nearly new condition. Francesco gave us the opportunity for high-performance bicycle upgrades, as well as water for our trip. He made sure the bicycles were properly fitted before starting out on our ride. Great customer service.
Our bicycle guide (PierGiorgio) was outstanding. He set a comfortable pace and stopped every few blocks to give us the history of the region. He is very proud of his city Palermo. This 40 Km (18 mile) ride is not difficult with only a few slight uphills. I would highly recommend this tour to see the most beautiful beaches near Palermo.

Travelling with my wife and two children (4 and 5 yrs old) Sergio made this tour informative and fun. There were no other reservations from our cruise ship so it was private tour. Well worth the reasonable price. Sergio met us at the appointed time just outside the cruise ship port gates. Bike with child bikeseats and bike helmets were all ready to go. We were off quickly with headsets to hear his commentary as we rode. Great scenery, great information. I highly recommend this tour - even without kids!

This was a truly wonderful way to see Palermo and Mondelo. Our guides, Sergio and Julia were so informative. We saw a number of sights and covered a lot of ground. Riding through La Favorita was beautiful. Mondelo was charming. I would highly recommend Sergio and this company.

Sergio is an exquisite person who with extreme sensitivity for adults and children allows you to appreciate destinations by bicycle that would be difficult to travel on foot or by car. Congratulations for the athletic preparation given that during the entire journey he practically never stopped instructing us on history, habits and customs. Highly recommended tour for everyone! The Chinese building, the Favorita park and finally Mondello are a sight not to be missed.

Fantastic experience. A beautiful ride in the nature reserve of the Monte Pellegrino park with a visit to La Favorita and arrival in Mondello. Sergio was a wonderful guide: he made us experience a journey through time through curious anecdotes and the history of this beautiful city. Absolutely worth doing
