About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- pete4990 contributionsPerfecto Bike HireWe rented two city bikes and cycled round the bay from Siracusa. We swam at Spiaggia del Minareto which was idyllic. Francesco made sure we had Google Maps set up for where we were going and put his phone number in our phones in case of problems- there weren’t any- bikes were great. We had considered going the day before but Francesco advised against it due to the approaching rain- he was right to do so as we had a proper deluge just a few minutes after leaving the shop,Written September 21, 2024
- carol03170 contributionsBEWARE: Untrustworthy Bike BusinessI am beyond disappointed with Siracusa Tour Bike and Viator. We arrived for our bike tour on Monday morning 11/27/23 only to be told that our guide was home sick with a fever and our tour was cancelled. We were not given any notice nor were we contacted by them prior to us showing up and they are keeping our full payment. The worst part of the situation is that they are denying that they cancelled our trip and telling Viator that it was us that did not show up for the tour. Viator is taking their word and to this day have refused to refund our payment. We have used Viator for many years from Europe to South America to Japan and have recommended them numerous times to other travelers. We feel completely ripped off by both Siracusa Tour Bike and Viator for not believing us (4 adults). We did show up, Siracuse Tour Bike cancelled on us and are keeping our money. Do the right thing and refund our payment!Written January 29, 2024
- benb8690 contributionsGreat value e-bike hire with great customer serviceWe hired four e-bikes from Francesco, who was super relaxed, friendly and helpful. He even rounded down the hours we hired the bikes for. The bikes worked well and had plenty of battery and were good value: 88 euros in total for four bikes for five hours.Written October 10, 2022
- samlA6662CG0 contributionsGreat bike hire company!Francesco was incredibly helpful and flexible to what we needed. We hired e-bikes, which can vary enormously in quality and these were all great. Powerful and had a 50km range. We also had a hitch at the end that really inconvenienced Francesco but he was generous and very relaxed about it ( which made a stressful situation much easier!) One of the nicest and ‘can do’ people we met while in sicily.Written September 12, 2022
- 123jillianf0 contributionsHighly recommendedWe hired 2 ebikes independently to ride to Fontane Bianche beach (40kms round trip) which was recommended. Francesco charming and v helpful… Highly recommended for your cycling needs.Written September 10, 2022
- Patti G0 contributionsGood bikes, fair price and excellent service. Would rent again from this bike shop.We rented bikes (road bikes) for 6 days. Francesco provides excellent services and knows his bikes. We would stop in to his shop and he readjusted bike components when we needed, helped us with cycling routes and is very knowledgeable.Written May 13, 2022

- Nnphuong_17100 contributionsThe best bike rent service you can find in SiracusaWe've rented two city bikes for 24h from Francesco to explore the city. He and his wife are extremely kind, lovely and with such great sense of humor, with all the instructions for the bikes that suit you most, and even for where to visit. The price are cheap and the bikes are in great condition, really suitable for travel from and to Isola di Ortigia when there’re no direct buses, and also to the surrounding attractions such as the Spiaggia di Arenella that he recommended. We had such a great time! Highly recommended for everyone!Written August 27, 2021

One of the nicest people we met here! With great enthusiasm he prepared two city bikes for us which we rented for a whole week :) Half past our rental period one of the bikes had a flat tire, in no time Francesco switched our bike and we where back on the road. I highly recommend Siracussa tour bike!Written July 22, 2021

We are a family of 5, we took 3 normal bikes (comes with a basket and a phone holder which made it very easy to navigate through the city and hold bags and things we purchased on the way) and one electric bicycle for two (we had a 9 year old girl who is capable of riding but needs rest from time to time and tht was a perfect solution). We traveled around the city and stopped in some churches and fountains as well as a market we found on the way. The bikes came with a lock and were very easy to manage around. The owner (Francesco) is very lovely and helpful (we managed to speak half Italian and half English with him). Great experience!

I was looking for a bike to rent so I could do a tour around ortigia and see also the beaches further.
As many many people said this company Siracusa tour bike owned by Francesco is great.
He is enthusiastic, skilled and helpful.
He understood quickly my needs and chose a comfortable E bike for my tour.
I rode a bit more than 2 hours and got invoiced for 2 hours only. I appreciate.
The bike receives all good maintenance. Brakes works perfectly. No rust, no dust. Seat bike it thicker so you can sit and ride long time without suffering bottom pain.
The bike comes also with the chain lock and key.
The E bike I used had assistance, 1 to 5 level. It could work for 40km. Very useful when climbing and riding under sunny 38 degreees
It also had a basket in front and a back seat.

Our bike tour of Sircusa and Ortigia with Giuseppe was absolutely wonderful. He has a deep knowledge of the history of the area. He made the Ancient Greek and Roman theaters come alive with his stories. We also visited the Ear of Dyonisus and the beautiful surrounding botanical gardens. Touring Ortigia on bikes was ideal because we were easily able to cover so much of the area. Giuseppe’s encylopedic knowledge of the area and his passion for its history bought it to life. We enthusiastically recommend Giuseppe and Siracusa Tour Bikes.
