Italy Bicycle Tours

We thoroughly enjoyed our week of cycling with Explore. Our guide Gus was caring and knowledgeable, taking us not only on a great itinerary of mostly off-road paths, but on a culinary tour of local restaurants and extra walking trips to local attractions. The tour exceeded our expectations!

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

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.
