“This was a well organized event, with two very conscientious leaders. There were some slip ups, but nothing serious, and not the fault of the leaders. One was having no hotel in Trento when we arrived, but they found a very good one nearby before too long.”
Wonderful adventure!

“This was my first organized cycle trip and my first trip to Sardinia. It was wonderful. With a very diverse group of ages and backgrounds we spent a week bonding and laughing! Everything was so well organized, such knowledgeable guides ~ with endless stories of the history, culture and people. Michele and Giovanni were so full of energy and fun, knowing when to encourage us as we climbed higher and longer challenges. They provided for us so well ~ water, fresh fruit, picnic lunches, where to go, what to see.”

“This early season ride was great as we were out of the hot weather period and no crowds and very little traffic on the roads, Paolo choice of luncheon spots where local food and wine were grown and produced were spot on at very reasonable prices, as were the superb evening meals. The riding was not as hard as I expected and the grades were easily climbed without too much effort, which made for a very scenic and photographic experience of southern Italy”
