Eduardo was a great guide. He had alot of knowledge and passion for the organisation. We got to see many sites and in depth conversations on the history and culture around the anti mafia movement. I would high recommend this tour.

Really interesting tour. Our guide Stefano was very articulate and passionate about his movement, and spoke in great detail about the events that shaped the mafia and the growing resistance to them.

A fantastic way to see Palermo with fascinating insight into the events of 1992 and afterwards. Stefano’s passion for his organisation’s work and the vision for an extortion free Sicily is inspiring. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience and learned a great deal
In the process.

The bike tour was a great experience with passionate tour guide, Stefano (if I remember his name correctly, he was an English teacher and played the drums). He told stories about the history and the present situation of the Mafia, which is relevant if you visit Sicily. It is not a tour through the historic center. Thanks for your passion, Stefano!

It was a very interesting tour by bicycle around Palermo. During 3-hours we saw memoryplaces of murded people, murals, prison and the work the organisation make today. We think this is the most interesting tour to make in the city and on second place (street foof tour). We also recommend a trip to the antimaffiamuseum in Corleone.

Dov'è il cuore di Palermo, città dal grande fascino? I Quattro Canti, la Cattedrale, Ballarò? Forse il cuore di Palermo sono le tante persone che hanno creduto in una società e in un mondo migliori, e che hanno perso la vita inseguendo e cercando di realizzare questo sogno. Visitare Palermo sulle tracce di Falcone, Borsellino, Libero Grassi e dei tanti che hanno lottato contro la mafia in un viaggio assolutamente da non perdere. L'Antimafia bike tour è un'esperienza intensa, in cui si intrecciano conoscenza ed emozione. L'associazione Addio pizzo porta avanti con grande coraggio e caparbietà i grandi ideali dell'antimafia e consente al turista di calarsi in questa realtà e di scoprire un volto importante di Palermo. Un grande grazie a Stefano, che ha guidato il tour in modo accattivante, competente e generoso.

Wir sind in unseren ersten Tag in Palermo mit der von addiopizzo organisierten Radtour gestartet. Unser Guide Attilio war super freundlich und hat uns bei seinem ersten Stopp in die Entstehung von addiopizzo eingeführt. Anschließend haben wir die wichtigsten Denkmäler für die Opfer der Mafia besucht. Attilio hat und bei jedem Stopp sehr interessante Hintergrundinformation gegeben. In meinen Augen ist die Tour ein Muss! Und wir werden bei unserem nächsten Besuch wieder eine Tour von addiopizzo buchen. Ich kann an dieser stehle auch die Hotels, die bei addiopizzo mitmachen, empfehlen, um die Organisation zu unterstützen.
Allerdings würde ich die Tour nicht für Familien mit Kindern empfehlen, da es in Palermo leider kaum Radwege gibt und die Autofahrer oftmals rücksichtslos fahren.
