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.”

It’s the best way of cursing around the marvelous views on Cape Town. Our guide was right on time for the pick up and so friendly throughout the journey. I am not an expert at riding so I booked the E bike which Id recommend for anyone who isn’t a pro rider. I don’t think I would be able to be one with nature as much as I did on my trip if it wasn’t for this particular tour. Again…”

This was a unique opportunity to cycle through the nation’s largest city park that happens to be a stunning forest.”
