Mediterranean Bicycle Trips

Amazing trip. The cycle routes were a good challenge, very scenic and nicely broken up by drinks breaks and lunch stops. The food on offer was often simple but delicious. Our tour leader Tarkan was very friendly and knowledgable as was our other guide Ali who shared his love for the region and its history. The trip also included some very welcome swims in the sea after some tough climbs in the heat (it was Sept but still in the 30+ degs) and the boat trip and swim at the end of one morning of cycling was a highlight. The accommodation was varied but each room was clean. We had a really friendly, fun group and enjoyed evening meals in some lovely restaurants. Highly recommended.

Very interesting and varied tour, scenery and towns visited were fabulous. Both Raz and Geo, the guides, were extremely personable, knowledgeable and helpful. Maybe an extra day or two of cycling would have been nice as you just wanted it to keep going :)

Our guide Erwin was amazing. He was caring, so knowledgeable about all the places we visited and fun to be with. The places we cycled to were amazing to see! Would highly recommend this tour

This was our second tour with Erwin as our leader. Erwin has planned an excellent itinerary with the 4 nights in Avignon and 3 nights in Pernes-les-Fontaines. Each ride was different and the destinations were stunning. Even the stops on the way were stunning. Erwin really cares about how everyone is doing. His patience is a wonder to behold. Lots of laughs and lots of great memories.

The trip was a first bicycle tour and it exceeded my expectations greatly . The tour took us to beautiful parts of Puglia and allowed us to live experiences and see cultural sites along the way . The key to this success of this tour was due to the expertise of our guide . Massimo was attentive to each group members needs and every detail of the tour was well planned and executed .

My first Explore holiday and definitely won’t be my last. The leaders Tarkan and Ali were amazing. Tarkan saw to our every need and was confident in his leadership and knowledge. Ali was also wonderful and had an incredibly rich knowledge of Turkish history and wildlife. Together they made a great combination. The cycling was hot, hilly and hardwork, I wd rate it at above moderate personally but a great way to see the real Turkey. Going in Oct rather than Sept cd possibly be a better option with the heat. All in all a wonderful holiday, thank you
