Great riding, starting on the quiet roads in the south and working up to the Amalfi coast ride. Hilly, but not hard hills. A very attentive and informative guide who gave us lots of cultural and historic information which made the trip more interesting.
Interesting side trips.
The ride along the Amalfi coast was amazing and an absolute blast. The narrow road clings to the cliff side with lots of tight bends. It would be scary to drive but felt totally safe on a bike.
Our guide was exceptional, very patient and safe. Our support driver was also very helpful.
Include some hills in your pre-trip training.
This was my first experience of travelling solo and my first experience doing an organized cycle tour. So I had a few concerns about whether I would like the group, would the cycling be interesting and challenging enough, would I meet people that I could become long term friends with. Well I should not have worried. The group dynamics were fantastic with a range of ages and professions from all corners of the world and we all got on wonderfully. The cycling was beautiful – I had heard so much about the Amalfi coast so was very surprised that the Cilento coast was even better to cycle with a little less traffic and a lot less touristy. And it was certainly challenging – not ever so much that you think you can’t make it but even the fittest of us felt some of the long hills. And we did develop friendships that are enduring – even looking at more trips together.
Two thumbs up to Paolo the guide – absolutely brilliant. Accomplishes everything with a smile on his face. He really did an outstanding job keeping us all on track and making sure we were all looked after.
But the most pleasant surprise for me was how relaxed you become so quickly. Everything is taken care of for you so the 100 decisions you normally make on holiday such as “where shall we have lunch?” or “what time should we have breakfast or dinner?” are all taken care of for you. In fact by day 3 you didn’t have to care about where you slept that night or how far you were going to cycle – you just got on the bike and knew everything would be taken care of. A really relaxing experience!
The highlight for me was probably Cilento - your ride through small coastal villages and the locals seem genuinely happy for you to be there. The few cars you encounter are incredibly considerate even on some pretty narrow roads so you never feel in danger.
Paolo was absolutely fantastic. His leadership style certainly taught me a few things. Getting 16 people of all ages and backgrounds to do exactly what he wants when he wants and all enjoying the experience - absolutely no conflict what so ever. Incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic. A real asset to the company.
Pack light - you can wash your shirts and shorts along the way. Leave your laptop at home and relax.
My first trip to Italy & my first group holiday; I’m very well travelled but had several reservations about an ‘organised group tour’ – all my concerns vanished quickly – this is a superb trip with a brilliant guide and I’d have NO reservations about recommending it. Just come prepared for some tough climbs!
Hard cycling, views I’ll never forget, delicious food particularly the first few days with lovely local suppliers sharing their produce, the insights into the life and culture of the region, stunning medieval villages, and most of all – great variety from the quiet pace of life, empty roads and warm welcome of the local people around gentle Cilento to the hectic & dramatic Amalfi coast – it just has it all!
There were so many...but the exhilerating coastal roads around Amalfi that wind like ribbons around impossibly high cliffs, sheer drops over perfect crystal water & picture perfect towns.....from lung-busting climbs to absurdly exciting decents, there were so many moments of jaw-dropping beauty & excitement around here, I hardly know where to start!
We all felt so lucky to have Paolo as our group leader; he shared so much knowledge, interest, a genuine passion for the local people, the hidden corners and the changing lifestyle of the region. He helped us feel confident and safe on the challenging roads around Amalfi, and to discover and enjoy the incredible and - to most of us - completely unknown region of Cilento. He was good fun, has a dry sense of humour, was always there for us and nothing seemed too much trouble. He helped me with my travel plans at the end of the trip, and shared great advice for my time in Naples. A total star!
This trip is down as moderate, but most of us agreed it was challenging at times. The distances were manageable but the inclines - wow! The first and last day were intense - it shouldn't put anyone off, but worth knowing and if you can, get lots of hill training - we did several days with over 4000ft of inclines each. It's absolutely worth it though...I've fallen in love with this entire region of Italy and for all the pain of getting to those incredible heights, the views are unfortgettable and will stay with me forever. Only other advice - take mossie spray, they are vicious, and bite day & night if you're not covered!
An amazing trip led by the kind, caring Paolo. I’d advise being prepared for tough hill climbs in the middle of the day in the heat. Well organised, accommodation comfortable, food and company wonderful.
The surreal experience of riding along the winding coastal roads of the Amalfi, looking out at the sparkling blue sea and gorgeous vertical villages from well above.
Paolo was very professional, caring and calm
As above, this trip is probably on the challenging side of moderate, especially from July-Sept climbing those hills on 30 plus degree days. Hydrate +++ and go at your own pace. Then again, I hadn't really done the training, that might be a good idea too.
An amazing trip with some brilliant fellow travellers. Never would have made it up some of those hills without the support of Paulo and the rest of the team.
The cycling was tough at times but I think that was partly due to the heat. We had average temps between 30 and 35 degrees. There are some challenging climbs but what goes up must come down and everyone in the group made it through. I would recommend putting some time in on the bike before the holiday.
Paulo is a great leader with excellent knowledge about the area as well as knowing all the best places to eat!
On the final day we found a tour of the lemon groves in Amalfi which I would hugely recommend. It was advertised in the hotel and we had a great time learning about the history of lemon growing in the area as well as sampling some of the lovely food and drink they create! (www.amalfilemonexperience.it)
Accommodation was all nice and the dinners were great-you definitely won’t go hungry. Pools at all hotels except the last one but the beach was 2 minutes walk away. Take some insect repellant for the agriturismo.
Seeing everyone reach the top of the climb out of Sorrento and the big one on the first day. The group were so supportive of each other.
Paulo was fab and we were sorry to say goodbye! Trust him when it comes to food recommendations!
Padded shorts are a must as there's a fair few lumps and bumps in the road. Make the effort to put in a bit of training before you go as it'll let you make the most of the holiday and enjoy the stunning scenery even more.
Great trip!
The scenery and the biking
Pablo was good leader and a good person.
Some hill training would be helpful.
This was a stunning cycle ride. The scenery was fantastic, the people very friendly and the food was delicious. We had a really friendly and supportive group and Paulo, Sara and Giovanni provided excellent leadership and support throughout.
I think the rating as “moderate” was a little off the mark – unless you were fit and had some experience of challenging hills it may pose a tough challenge, particularly in the Italian heat.
The accommodation was good throughout (although the farm residence was disappointing at breakfast with limited choice). During our lunch stops the food and value for money were excellent.
Strangely enough on one of our days "off" I made the trip to Capri and could look back on the coastline to see the amazing terrain (which we did successfully cycle!) - a real sense of achievement. The group was inspirational too with much humour and support when needed.
Paulo did an excellent job , managing each day in a professional and supporting way. He made sure everybody was looked after and gave excellent advice for our times in built up areas. His announcement on the transfer from the airport (a long 3 hours!) was that we needed to forget two words this week - flat (Amalfi was not flat at all) and diet (there was no point in worrying about diets with such marvellous food) stay in my mind.
Make sure you are fit enough for the ride. Practice those hills before you arrive so you can manage the often steady climbs in the heat.
Fantastic trip, hard work (do some hill training before going – it will make it all the more enjoyable) but the scenery and food make it so worthwhile. The guide, Paolo is fantastic, great local knowledge, especially when it comes to where to eat! We were told on the first day to forget the words “flat” and “diet”……..he was right!
All of it was great, just beautiful scenery the whole way.
Fantastic! Very considerate of everyone in the group, timed each day perfectly obviously loves this area and knows it extremely well
Do some hill training prior to going!
EXCELLENT FOOD………….EXCELLENT ACCOMMODATION…………..EXCELLENT COMPANY………….PAULO, THE TEAM LEADER & SARAH, HIS NON-PAID HELPER, WERE ALSO EXCELLENT……………THE REASON MY ASSESSMENT IS “VERY GOOD” RATHER THAN EXCELLENT OVERALL, IS BECAUSE THE CYCLING HOLIDAY WAS BILLED AS ” MODERATE”……….. IT NEEDS RECLASSIFICATION AS ” CHALLENGING”
MAGNIFICENCE OF THE CILENTO COAST , BREATHTAKING VIEWS BOTH THERE AND ALONG AMALFI COAST.
VERY SKILLED IN BOTH EXPLAINING THE TERRAIN & DETAILING ITEMS OF HISTORIC INTEREST.....PAULO IS THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT JOB.
THINK LONG AND HARD ABOUT THIS ONE, BEFORE MAKING ANY COMMITMENT.... THE COACH AND LORRY DRIVERS ALONG THE WINDING MOUTAINS SPEND MUCH OF THEIR TIME ONTHE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE ROADS DUE TO THEIR NARROWNESS.....HORN BLASTING IS THE ITALIAN DRIVERS WAY OF LIFE, IT SEEMS ...TAKE CARE ON BENDS, OF WHICH THERE ARE MANY, & ENSURE YOU HAVE ACHIEVED A GOOD DEGREE OF FITNESS BEFORE SIGNING UP. MANY UPWARD HILLS ARE BETWEEN 5 AND 10KM PLUS LONG.....
This was the perfect holiday for the recreational cyclist who wants to see the Cilento National park and Amalfi coast in a very low impact way.
To see cyclists who have low levels of experience battle to the top of some challenging climbs.
Paolo longo our tour leader did an excellent job of instructing the group and looking after the safety of the riders as we had some difficult decents in wet weather on a couple of days, as well as being very friendly and approachable at all times.
Book the single room supplement as the rooms can be very small.
