7 E-Bike Tours in Sicily Worth Booking Early

1.Bike tour of Catania by e-bike

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 9 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $84Our pick

Spend about three and a half hours cycling Catania’s main sights on an e-bike, with a guide and stops at places such as Piazza del Duomo, Castello Ursino, and Giardino Bellini. Guides named Anja, Kate, and Katha have led tours, sharing local stories and food tips. Bikes, helmets, and headphones are included; drinks are extra.

“Great Guide--Learned a lot, she speaks 3 languages and immersed in Italian culture and Katha was the best. Lived in Italy last 8 years I believe. Did a lot in 3 hours, quality bike as well. A little scary biking in Sicily but really the drivers stop when you move so don't worry. Katha also gave me some recommendations on bites to eat and the Pizza place off the beaten track was a treat and pretty inexpensive”

Poi le mura della valle dei templi, le stradine interrate, i sentieri, i resti di due piccoli templi il tutto sempre accompagnato da riferimenti storici dei nostri accompagnatori. Che dire poi delle biciclette: fantastiche, è stato semplice anche per me che non avevo esperianza con biciclette elettriche con i cambi. Escursione che consiglio vivame...”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · from $147

From Piazzale Rifugio Sapienza, ride an e-bike up Etna’s volcanic sand paths with a guide and instructor.

Guide Gino is known for patient bike help and stories about Etna’s plants and geology.

“What a fantastic and unique way to visit Mount Etna! It takes blood, sweat, and tears, but it's all worth it. Gino is an extremely enthusiastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and patient guide. Not only does he take the time to help you with your bike, but he also has lots of interesting stories about Mount Etna, including edible plants that he lets you taste. Is the descent too scary? No problem, we'll go slowly. Fallen and hurt your knee? Gino has disinfectant and bandages. Broken chain? Gino fetches tools from his home so you can get back on your bike in no time. Hikers laugh at you, then cheer you on.…”
