Walking Cappadocia
Fantastic way to see and feel the region
We only cycled on Bali and Java
A very interesting and varied country and culture but too much traffic for comfortable cycling

Wira was a really attentive and well organised leader with a safety conscious approach
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be aware that cycling may not be as relaxed as on some other Exodus cycling trips

The Island of Korcula is truly beautiful.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The group leader took great care of us. He clearly loved his country and his job and was very happy to share his knowledge with us.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Some of the hills are perhaps a little more challenging than you might expect! The accommodation can be basic and the coffee isn't the best!
Beautiful Sicily
My first cycling holiday….without a doubt not my last!
Most Inspirational Moment
Chatting with the other group members who had all been on many other Exodus cycling holidays and hearing about their great adventures …. and arriving in Syracuse, Ortygia Island, simply stunning
Thoughts on Group Leader
From day 1 of meeting Davide, it was clearly apparent that he is so very passionate about his role as leader and his total professionalism shone through. He took great care for the safety and well being of all the guests from start to finish with clear advice, instructions and guidance for cycling in this area. His knowledge and expertise not only for the area but the ancient history and cultures and many other facts is impressive and together with his stories and idioms- all made for the most interesting holiday. His love of cooking and food was an added bonus as the activities he arranged for us included a fun pasta and bread making session, and we visited many interesting restaurants for some fantastic food. There is no doubt about the amount of time, effort and research Davide has put into making sure all the guests have the best holiday possible This was my very first Exodus adventure and I felt extremely happy with the whole experience, I had the best holiday and smiled all the way home. Resulting from this experience I am now about to book my next adventure - with Exodus- as I feel confident of the standards to expect although Davide has set the bar very high, he is a total superstar and deserves recognition for all of his hard work … well done Davide !

Canyons and National Parks Review

An evening with the Navajo, learning their history and experiencing their culture
Thoughts on Group Leader
Great, she is one of the best guides I have had, and worked very hard to ensure that everyone had a great experience.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for a great holiday, America isn't cheap but the views and experience is worth it.
Great Cycling and Great Guide
Arrived in Naples to heavy rain….however Sunday started cloudy but warm and the weather just kept improving. Hotels were very good, perhaps Hotel Rita could be improved in the evening meal and breakfast (Buffalo Burgers – avoid). Lunchtimes gave us a good variety of Italian food. Cycling on the actual Amalfi coast is “interesting” but we all survived. Great views throughout the whole holiday with some hills to test your legs and lungs. Just the right amount of history and monuments. The ‘free day’ gave us a great (lots of steps) walk.
Most Inspirational Moment
Memorable moments rather than inspiring was eating fresh mulberries at our lunchtime stop, who could forget our very cheery host. Watching fireflies was brilliant. The Temples etc at Paestum was amazing
Thoughts on Group Leader
Paolo, what a great leader, lots of interesting information pitched at the right time with the right amount of detail, really helped to make the holiday full and terrific. The bike support was excellent .
Superb walking holiday in this lovely country
The walks were amazing, the food was great, the hotel was excellent being about a 20 minute walk from the beautiful harbour of Kyrenia and the weather was warm after a wet first morning!
Most Inspirational Moment
Climbing the 680 steps up to and then back down from Buffavento Castle and being rewarded by the fantastic views, seeing only 4 other people on that climb, in fact maybe the whole day.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Gizer was patient, helpful and knowledgeable with a good sense of humour. He provided us with a detailed history of Northern Cyprus with lots of other information and arranged some very tasty meze meals. He found a Chameleon and a Blunt-nosed Viper for us too!
Advice for Potential Travellers
You do need to be fit. Wear walking boots and long trousers for walks through the scrub. Take an extra water bottle as the hotel provides a glass bottle of water with the packed lunch which added to the weight.
Porto to Lisbon
Well organized, well lead, and great way to maximize exercise, viewing and discussion of the northern coast of Portugal with a small group of likeminded travelers
Most Inspirational Moment
Final day of biking with several moderate hill climbs and ocean views
Thoughts on Group Leader
Armando was always always organized, prepared, joyful and funny, and knowledgeable about restaurants and local culture. His support guides were equally happy and helpful throughout.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Enjoy.
A trip around Sicily
This trip has been running for several years and the itinerary works well. We felt there was a good balance between organized activities and free time to relax/explore on our own. We enjoyed wandering around Ortigia, Erice and Cefalu, but found Taormina underwhelming as, apart from the Amphitheatre, it is basically one long, crowded street of tourist shops and expensive boutiques. The accommodation was generally fine – our favourite was Il Barocco in Ragusa. The agroturismo stay was disappointing; we had expected a meal featuring homegrown produce, which was not in evidence!
Most Inspirational Moment
Walking into the cathedral at Monreale and seeing the stunning mosaics was a standout moment. The Roman villa near Piazza Armerina is pretty special too. Selinunte: standing alone among wild flowers and grasses looking up at the honey-coloured stones of a Greek temple glowing against an intensely blue sky.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Tiziano was brilliant! He is an experienced tour leader, yet his enthusiasm for Sicily, its food and culture is undimmed. He was great company and made sure everything worked well. He coped well with a couple of birthdays and one member of our group who became ill. He also included some additional stops at places of interest, which broke up longer journeys and added to the itinerary.
Advice for Potential Travellers
This is an excellent trip. Take comfortable, light walking shoes. May is a good time to visit; not too hot and the flowers are in bloom, although be prepared for some variable weather. Sicily’s towns are often built on hills and there are many steps to negotiate – if you have a problem with these this may not be the tour for you, although they are a good opportunity to work off some of the calories gained from the lovely Sicilian food! We had plenty of opportunity to try a wide range of dishes. Be aware that portions are large and two courses are usually sufficient (antipasti and primi, or primi and secondi). The archaeological museum in Siracusa is a long walk away, confusingly laid out and quite boring. Worth missing. Some of the smaller museums (e.g., on Mozia) were better.
Incredible Trip!
Had an amazing time in Italy!
