Great trip
The trip was great with a decent amount of hills! The distances were doable and the cycles by the coast wonderful! The hotels were all very good especially the Agriturismo which was amazing!! The only gripe about hotels was the one in Syracusa which was ok and had no outside space!
We had thee most fantastic lunches courtesy of Giussippe which were better then any dinners we had!!
All in all a great trip!!
Great group of people helped!!
Cycling in Sicily was INCREDIBILE!
Cycling in Sicily is the first cycling trip my husband and I have taken. We both absolutely loved it and are anxious to start planning our next one with Exodus. Everything from start to finish was terrific; the itinerary, accommodations, events, FOOD and FRIENDS!
Most Inspirational Moment
There were many unforgettable events on this trip! But, some of my favourite times were the coastal drives drives, swimming in the Mediterannean and enjoying lovely, long evening dinners with our travelling companions.
Thoughts on Group Leader
I could not say enough wonderful things about our group leader Thomas. Attentive, knowledgable and engaging! Our 2 accompanying drivers, both named Guiseppe, were also terrific.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Cycling in Sicily is classified as a 'moderate' level. I would suggest that it is leaning towards challenging, due to the regular steepness of hills. I am a regular cyclist and am comfortable with distances, however, my experience was for the most part on flat roads. I thought this would put me into a 'moderate' category but, I was incorrect. I would make sure that you are comfortable with long, very steep climbs if you are considering this trip.

Only to take a gel seat

The holiday got off to a rocky start, as the flight was shifted to arrive very late and we just arrived at our hotel in time for bed on the first day. Similarly, the flight back was also very late. Maybe this was due to BA, but Exodus should consider how to avoid this in future.
We landed in unusually hot weather, in the 30s, but the riding was pretty manageable, albeit the toughest day first.
Food was excellent throughout and a real highlight.
Thomas was a fine leader.
Most Inspirational Moment
probably the food!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Thomas was pretty much perfect. He was very helpful and always conscious of our needs in what turned out to be very hot weather. He was also charming and amusing, which oiled the wheels. A great deal of care and thought went into his restaurant recommendations, which surprised us by how good value they were.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Try and learn at least a little Italian, as English is certainly not that widespread in Sicily.
SICILY - Group tour
I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. The time of year was perfect in that the scenery was green and the verges full of flowers. The people in Sicily were extremely friendly and the food we had was delicious (local knowledge of the tour leader and local operator obviously need to be thanked for this). I wouldn’t call this “moderate” as there are many hills so a good level of fitness is required. We’d expected temperatures to be mid-late 20s but instead we had mid 30s!! Beautiful weather but tougher for cycling up the long hills. I’d definitely recommend this tour.

Thoughts on Group Leader
Lovely tour leader with a great, dry sense of humour. Then again, I'm half Bavarian so I would say that! He was very keen to please his very big group of 16 and I believe everyone really liked Thomas.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Make sure you're fit for this one! There are long stretches with no breaks as people seem to race along. I took my time and stopped for photos and drinks but it meant I was constantly at the back. Take your own gel saddle and think about protection for your poor behind.
Cycling in Sicily
Good trip, well organised, easy going helpful leader and support staff. No permanent cycling back- stop meant a few of the group got a bit lost an a couple of occasions. Very good choice of Hotels and food everywhere. Hotel in Syracuse needs finishing off !!!

Thomas was very helpful, well informed, spoke good Italian and English. Put up with a couple of awkward clients with humour and discretion. A joy to be on his trip

The cycling was fantastic. Not too difficult climbs although you had to be quite fit. The acommodation and food was excellent.
Thoughts on Group Leader
We had three leaders to which everyone was fantastic in looking after us. They made sure the bikes were safe and were very attentive to all the group. Also gave a lot of history about the Island.
