Stunning 6 days cycling, mixture of pleasant countryside and beautiful cliff top views, crystal clear water and then classic old Italian towns with cobbled streets and nice osterias. Cycling was definitely doable for a relative non cyclist, especially with an e bike!

We had a fabulous trip. Everything went smoothly. The bikes were fine, the accommodation was excellent. Most of the rides were brilliant. Only the landscapes of the 70km day were "oversold". The information and the app provided were very good. We didn't need any support but, we heard from one person who did that it was provided very quickly. Thankyou for such a lovely experience.

Foodies Paradise

Have just returned from a brilliant 8 days with a great fun group of people. Its a beautiful part of Italy with plenty of pretty towns and villages that differ from one to the next and great mixture of peaceful countryside and coastal views. The bikes were very comfortable, with gel seats and easy to ride. Everything was very well organised and the staff at every hotel were welcoming and friendly and getting our rooms every day was quick and efficient which is so important after a long day in the saddle! The food was fantastic and I tried so many things I haven't tasted or heard of before! The afternoon at the farm location with the most stunning pool is a real treat after a very hot ride! There is plenty of spare time at the end of the ride of a few days or that could have been because we had an efficient group that all kept up. Nobody was particularly super quick or slow and our leader kept a good pace the whole week.
