Syracuse Tours in September 2027

Fascinating tour with great variety of archaeological sites and Baroque architecture. Our guide, Antonio, was very informative and looked after us extremely well. The planning was excellent and the accommodation very comfortable and well sited.

An in depth journey through Sicily's layered history and stunning terrain. From Phonecians to Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Arabs, towns rose and fell leaving spectacular ruins. The tour picks up on the islands Norman heritage and later development of baroque architecture.

A fantastic week exploring the Baroque region of Sicily. Great group, absolutely top notch guide Davide who imparted his extensive knowledge of Sicily in an entertaining way. Very scenic route, good stops for swimming and sight seeing, lovely restaurants and bars. Davide was well supported by Sepi the driver/mechanic

Have been on 5 Exodus trips and this was by far the best of the best. Sicily itself is utterly breathtaking, wonderful scenery, great group of people to cycle with and our guide Davide was the best tour guide I have had the good fortune to meet. He was really knowledgeable, funny, supportive to everyone who were at all different levels of cycling ability and treated us all as individuals. The routes he took us had some of the best views ever and every day was totally different. He picked out wonderful restaurant choices and stayed with us until the bitter end. On the penultimate day I was looking to the left coming down a steep hill instead of keeping my eye on the road and fell off my bike (I really am the clumsiest person alive). I injured my arm and Davide quickly came to the rescue and ensured that my safety was paramount. He went over and above, even offering to drive me to restaurants in the evening to ensure I didn't miss out, he is one in a million and made our holiday really special (it was our 33rd wedding anniversary and my husband's birthday). If Davide is still there next year we will return as we both fell in love with Sicily's charm, architecture, coastline and of course the wonderful cuisine. If I could give this trip 10 stars, I would. Also a huge shout out to the lovely driver Sebi/Sepi not sure which, who kindly ferried me around in his van after my accident and really looked after me.

A brilliantly organised and executed tour - this was our first time doing a group cycling trip and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our leader, Davide, had done over 70 trips on this route which meant that almost nothing was left to chance. The hotels were excellent, food stops were delicious and well timed and the support offered by Sebi was reliable and always delivered with a smile. The cycling itself was fun and just the right length and difficulty for a mixed group. Gorgeous scenery and amazing smells of fig, pine, lemons and oranges as we cycled through the countryside. And there were plenty of swim stops when we were by the sea. Highly recommend this tour especially if it is led by Davide.

Post covid the first trip with Exodus, a little bit of anxiety, a long time since a cycling holiday, however, already decided that based on past experience, I would not be disappointed. Aboslutely right, having spent endless hours worrying about getting fit again, Covid had not been kind to me, I realised that I was not unfit. So enjoyment was the usual making new friends, seeing a country that I had not visited before, tasting and enjoying the culinary delights, understanding the culture, seeing wonderful sights and all on two wheels. But most of all thanks to our guide and everyone else on the trip having a very good time, the latter being an understatement. Even a bit of rain could not put a dampner on the holiday.
