Self-Guided Cycling

Self-Guided Cycling Tours

Join a self-guided cycling tour run by our sibling company Headwater and the decisions are yours to make, based on your personal interests and preferences, as well as detailed trip notes that provide all the information you need. With self-guided travel, you set your own pace, which means there’s always time for that paddle in the sea, detour to a nearby chateau or extra piece of cake at lunch!

If you’re looking for a little more independence, self-guided cycling trips provide the opportunity to explore in your own way. And, of course, Headwater takes care of your luggage, making sure it’s transferred and waiting for you at your next accommodation. Perfect for that anniversary or birthday celebration!

In focus: Self-guided cycling holidays in Italy

“Don’t tell anyone about how beautiful Lecce is – everyone will go there! There are white limestone cathedrals, old squares and little cobbled streets, but it’s nowhere near as busy as somewhere like Rome. Cycling 50km a day, in southern Italy, with bikes supplied and all your baggage transported for you – I was sold! Our family’s split across countries – my husband, teenage daughter and I live in Geneva, but our son’s in the UK – so it would’ve been tricky to bring our own bikes. And, as there were five of us, we thought a self-guided trip would give us that extra bit of flexibility and the chance to go at a leisurely pace, chatting as we cycled along. Exodus gave us route notes about the area and suggested detours to the sights – castles, lighthouses, grottos.”
