“I love to bike and seeing the city by bike and was great. Correlating the route with the map that we had acquired from our hotel was valuable for getting around the city without a problem, thereafter. Our guide had the two of us share an arancini which for the money that we spent for the tour we should have had one each. They are so inexpensive-that was insulting.”

He was the ONLY one who was willing/able to rent me a gravel bike, despite many other bike rental companies listing gravel bikes on their websites! Everyone else tried to push me to use a hybrid or said unavailable, despite me knowing I wanted a gravel bike with drop bars. Cesare was responsive over text on Whatsapp, and had my bike ready at his shop. It was a great experience working with him.”
