Ortigia Rickshaw Tour: Explore Historic Alleys

I recommend travelers to undertake this kind of ecological tour because, being a rickshaw, it allows access to the pedestrian zone, a labyrinth with historical alleys allowing a 360-degree tour of Ortigia Island, both internally and externally with stops, explanations, and photos taken by the drivers.

Beautiful tour with Nicolas - Beautiful tour with Nicolas, a boy passionate about history but especially his Syracuse. Gentle, prepared, he told us history, myths, legends and even a piece of his story. If you are in Ortigia look for it for this tour, it is really worth it. Tips also on where to eat, on the best granita. Who better than a local to have tips not too touristy!

Beautiful experience among the beauties of Ortigia with the sympathy of Nicolas - We chose Velobike because we wanted to take a nice scenic ride and we immediately liked the idea of using electric vehicles, therefore environmentally friendly, non-invasive in the historical context and quiet. Expectations were fully met especially thanks to our Cicero Nicolas who, as a native and with the passion of those lucky enough to live in such a beautiful place, was able to give us all the information and some curiosities about this corner of paradise that is Ortigia. In addition to being very comprehensive in his explanations he was very nice and very kind, even stopping to take a very welcome thought since that day was my wife's birthday. Highly recommended!

A great tour in Ortigia - We hadn’t planned on doing a tour of Ortigia, but Nicolas approached and was so friendly we decided to hop on to the velobike. The tour was excellent! Nicolas shared fascianting information about the town and took fantastic photos for us. Highly, highly recommended if you’re in Ortigia.

EXCEPTIONAL - 60min beautiful tour of Syracuse. Beautiful city and very good Nicolas, you could feel his passion for the city and every question was exceptionally Response. It is beautiful to see young guys with this love for their city and so much knowledge above all. I would do it again. The price, in my opinion, very fair, is absolutely worth it. Recommendation to everyone.
