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 .
This was my first tour group and it exceeded my expectations. Our guide Massimo was fantastic. Paid attention to every detail and made sure we were always safe on our bikes. Some of the hills were a bit more difficult than I expected, but I had rented an E bike and therefore had no problems. The countryside was beautiful and the itinerary was great. It was not just about biking but visiting the regions as well. .
One of the best cycling holidays so far.. Massimo was a great guide, the itinerary was perfect. So much to see. Having two nights at each stop allowed us to really soak up the atmosphere. Along with a fantastic group of people I couldn’t have asked for more
My wife and I had a great time on this trip. The riding was relatively easy (thanks in part to the e-bikes we were using) and the places we visited were interesting. Our leader (Fabio) did a great job of keeping the whole tour glued together. There are the usual responsibilities of setting the agenda for each day and guiding us through the rides, but Fabio is also very friendly. He went above his duties by guiding us to good restaurants and making sure that our time outside of the biking was enjoyable. He also provided extra care with everyone’s well-being - arranging a bus when there was a miserable rainy day, distracting a fierce dog while we all biked past, and arranging transportation for people who couldn't ride. So overall, the trip had great biking, wonderful things to see, and we had a pleasant time with Fabio and the other participants.
A very well planned tour led by Fabio, an experienced local guide. Most of the group chose to hire e- bikes , and at various times I was envious! We rode around 30 miles a day, with only two or three serious climbs (for me - must do more training!) Interesting hotels, generally for two nights each, including a cave hotel. Good international group of ten people who all got on well.
