Italy Private Tours and Trips

Our first trip with them (Cycle Puglia) was amazing. From the wonderful route they chose - which keeps you mostly on quieter back roads or cycle paths, to the great hotels and the delightful add-on (Matera - a must do, and go for 2 days not 1 like we did). The app was very easy to use - even when we faced some unexpected detours (which just added a dash of adventure to the trip).

A nice moderating hike with day 1 being most challenging in terms of length and elevation, then moderating to the end. Lots of natural landscape views and scenery. Great towns all offering a bit something different.

Loved our walk from Assisi to Spoleto. The scenery was amazing and the navigation app and transfers all ran smoothly. Would highly recommend this walk to anyone who loves being immersed in nature and the idyllic scenery of the Umbrian countryside.

We booked an extra night at the start and finish of the walk which was a more relaxing way and gave us more leisurely time to explore Assisi and Spoleto. The app was excellent to use and gave warnings when you were on the wrong track, which we found at times easy to do. The tracks were mostly easily defined, although a couple of times they were just narrow gullies which seemed to be waterways. Luckily we had great weather in early May. It would be really helpful if there were more details on the types of tracks you would encounter each day. The occasional coloured markings on walls and trees were very welcome and comforting, knowing you were on the right track. The accommodations were mostly very good, but after staying in quite a luxurious farm stay resort in Poreta, our final night's hotel was very basic. All hotels were in good central locations and they had substantial continental breakfasts. We saw spectacular scenery, beautiful medieval villages, olive groves, and poppy fields. It was a fabulous walk, definitely challenging in parts, but a truly wonderful experience. Just do it!

They provided excellent information well before the cycle holiday. I knew how to prepare for cycling, what to pack and what to expect each day. The cycle app was so useful. The e-bike was sturdy and the luggage delivery went smoothly. The accommodation was excellent with a variety of smaller, local B&Bs as well as some larger hotels.

Overall our cycle trip was a great experience. The pre-departure briefing was a little disorganised but everything along the way worked out well. The hotel in Trento was a real highlight accommodation-wise. The cycling paths are in excellent condition. The mapping app worked well. Overall we had a great time despite 2 days of rain.
