Just back from a fabulous trip cycling in Sicily lead by Davide . Davide went above and beyond to make sure that we all had the best possible experience cycling in Sicily, above all ensuring our safety, well being and enjoyment of this wonderful area. Davide was born, grew up and has studied in this gorgeous landscape. Davide can tell you the history, geography and culture of this land which he loves so passionately .
Day 6, the hardest cycling day but the most amazing experience in terms of the natural beauty of the area and my personal sense of achievement
Davide was outstanding in creating a safe, trusting and harmonious group of cyclists from different nations, ages and abilities and enabled us all to have the most fantastic week exploring Italy by bike.
Do not miss going on this trip!
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
The gorge and descent on the Noto circular ride
Brilliant, safe, good sense of humour and great local knowledge

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.
Too many to mention but probably the beauty of Nota and Syracuse. Having the best fellow travellers out of all of our trips, everyone was kind, interesting and very supportive towards one another.
Davide as per above is the best tour leader I have met so far. He really went out of his way to ensure each and everyone had the best experience in Sicily. He absolutely gave his all during this trip, great sense of humour, so knowledgeable, so compassionate and how he managed some of us I will never know, Davide deserves a medal, he has the patience of a saint.
Look where you are going at all times, not like me! This Exodus trip was the best out of the 5 we have been on, cannot recommend it highly enough. Hopefully you too will have Davide as your tour leader.
Wonderful holiday with a great leader, Davide. Superb scenery with enough challenging cycling
Seeing Noto and Syracuse again
Davide was wonderful. Full of knowledge of and love for Sicily. Managed the group very well
Do it!
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.
The care and support shown to one of our group who unfortunately had a fall from her bike and had to go to hospital. The group rallied round and Davide and Sebi were brilliant.
Exceptional and caring and knew all the interesting places to visit often with a personal touch as he knew all the people that mattered.
Bring lots of your local idioms and the cultural exchange will be all the richer for it.
Superb Cycling Trip
The entire ride as the highlight. My wife and i loved every minute.
Davide DiMauro is a fantastic group leader. He has has a wealth of knowledge and passion for Sicily which inspired us all. He is very attentive to the needs of all the various and frankly "challenging" riders. Exodus needs to clone Davide!
The Sicily trip is great in all respects.
The itinerary was very interesting. I learned a lot about Sicilian history and culture. The riding distance each day was perfect, considering the challenging hills and heat. Wonderful riding leader and driver. We were well taken care of!
Accomplishing the climbs in the extreme heat and without an e-bike
Paolo was a great leader, kept everyone together well, and gave us excellent information about the countryside, history, and what to expect.
Lots of sunscreen!
We joined 14 other folks for a wonderful week of cycling in Sicily. Beautiful towns and countryside steeped in history. Our tour guide Davide Di Mauro was exceptional – he looked after us start to finish. He made the trip so much more interesting than just a cycling holiday. His love of Sicily continually shone through.
Exploring such beautiful towns which I hardly knew. Palazzolo, Scicli, Noto, Modica, and the magnificent Siracusa.
Davide was excellent. His diligence, attention to detail, including bike safety, his knowledge and love of Sicily all made for a great holiday. If Davide is your guide - you will enjoy this cycling holiday.
My one reason not to give 5 stars, was that the joining instructions provided by Exodus had an error, and we showed up at the wrong hotel. Once sorted, all went very well.
Open air, history and good food! A surprisingly full and rounded introduction to Sicily. All on a bike.
Learning of Ancient Noto. Amazing history in this SE corner of the island. Wonderful baroque towns.
Perfect leader. Excellent knowledge of island, history and invaluable guiding to best restaurants and stops. Well designed week. Well looked after on the road.
Could be hot at the end of June! Made the moderate rating just enough for this average cyclist. Do be ready to jump in the sea; it’s lovely - and welcome! All the hotels are good quality. Singles and couples in equal rooms.
Excellent cycling, wonderful guide and an all round great trip
Reaching the top of the Cassibile canyon ride in the Cavagrande National Reserve and the wonderful descent
Fantastic! Very thoughtful, utterly professional and a really interesting person, relaying lots of interesting information about Sicily to the group
Quite a lot of ‘up’ on the first day which can be a bit of a baptism of fire in the heat! And some busy roads at times. Also, the included flight time of 16.35 from Gatwick on the first day is far too late to enjoy the hotel or indeed get anything to eat on arrival; so consider an earlier flight or a night in Catania and arrange your own transfer.
