★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 194 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $84Top rated

Set out from Ribera with B.G. Racing Escursioni in Quad for about three hours of quad riding, from Poggio Diana castle and the Verdura River canyon to Piana Grande and Borgo Bonsignore. Guides Vincenzo and Angela have used a translation device to help guests communicate, though it is worth confirming the language arrangement before you book.

“What started as a booking mistake turned into one of the most unforgettable days of my 4-week trip through Italy. I accidentally booked the “Castle to Sea” quad tour not realizing it was in Ribera, on the opposite coast from where I was staying in Palermo. I reached out to cancel, and Vincenzo reassured me that if I made the 2-hour trip, they’d pick me up from the bus stop (more like a post in the middle of nowhere!) and promised I’d have fun.

“Fantastic tour! We were traveling 2 hours for this tour and had some hiccups along the way. We let the guide know about us possibly being late and he was extremely accommodating. He called and made arrangements to leave the entry tickets for us. He then let another guide who was giving a tour know that we could possibly join her tour. She kept an eye out for us and even came back to the entry gate to get us. They were all so kind, and welcoming. The tour itself was fantastic. They gave so much interesting history and answered lots of questions. I highly recommend this tour!Read more”
