Worth Doing

I did the cycling tour in April of 2025, and it was better than I expected — which, for a trip I’d spent a while researching, is saying something.
The riding itself was well put-together. A mix of quiet back roads, some proper climbs, and long stretches on old railway paths. I used a regular bike and would say the level given is appropriate.
The highlight reel: Besalú is a very charming, well-preserved medieval town, and the Costa Brava section is as good as advertised. Alvaro, our guide, was the reason the week felt personal rather than packaged. He picked up on what people wanted and adjusted. Everything else — luggage transfers, route markings, daily logistics — all ran smoothly, which is how it should be.
Worth doing.

What a fabulous experience!

I had never joined a group activity or trip like this before but immediately felt at ease with everyone when we all met. This was largely due to the extremely welcoming attitude and manner of our great guides Miguel, and his highly trusted driver / bike mechanic and co-guide. They worked tirelessly and extremely well together to make this a very highly memorable trip for us all. I had never visited Catalonia before and wanted a mix of good cycling around the area, some basic tourism and the opportunity to experience a range of different Catalan landscapes with some good food and company. I am happy to say that the trip exceeded all my expectations in every way. All the hotel accommodation and hospitality of their staff was excellent, and helped to provide us with a great (and stress-free) holiday experience.

Most Inspirational Moment

I loved the constantly changing landscapes we experienced – passing through medieval villages, quiet countryside lanes, the stunning coastal villages and Besalu was an excellent destination to finish the trip. I think a lot of thought had clearly been put into planning the route very carefully.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Miguel is truly an outstanding guide and really made the trip a perfect experience. He is very skilled at working with a group of people from diverse backgrounds, since he has a very easy, approachable, highly inclusive and friendly manner, while always maintaining his sense of professionalism. His English is also excellent! Miguel's passion for Catalonia, outdoors activities and his wish to ensure that everyone enjoyed themselves in a safe, relaxed and fun way was inspiring. I also really enjoyed his knowledge of the local history, gastronomy, wildlife and his enthusiasm to share this with us. It really helped to make the trip memorable. All the daily logistics were handled with care and thoughtfully - the one 'traveller emergency' we had was dealt with calmly and professionally.

Advice for Potential Travellers

It’s not a cheap trip certainly, but I felt it was well worth it in every way as a special treat for myself. I felt that I was well supported by Exodus staff before embarking on the holiday, since they answered my email queries well, without delay and they made the pre-holiday admin all very easy. It was a great introduction to a beautiful part of Spain and as well as learning a huge amount about the area, I loved the cycling, company of everyone and have some very fond memories of the holiday.

A truly amazing trip!

I did this trip in June of 2024 and it was truly fantastic! We had amazing rides through Catalonia including ancient sites, sparkling coastal views, and breathtaking sunflower fields. The rides were well-paced, with amazing stops for delicious food and dips in the inviting sea. The host was an absolute joy, with his knowledge matched by his passion for the area. I highly recommend this trip!

The Best Way to Explore Girona and Beyond!

Cycling Girona and the Catalan Coast was the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation it was also my first Cycling trip! The routes were peaceful and well-planned, passing through authentic villages, rolling countryside, and the most beautiful stretches of coast!
Our guide was fantastic – knowledgeable, friendly, and always made the days fun. The E-bikes were a great option for anyone wanting a little extra confidence on the hills. An unforgettable way to experience Northern Spain!

Most Inspirational Moment

For me, the most inspiring moment was cycling through tiny villages with no one else around, just the sound of the wind and the countryside! It was such a peaceful and immersive way to explore a country and truly felt so present in the moment. I found the whole experience really meditative, my work life is spent behind screens all day and it was amazing to spend a week away from screens and just live in the moment!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader was Miguel and he was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable about the areas visited and gave detailed tours around the villages. Miguel made an effort to speak with every person in the group and really helped gel everyone together, we ate at some delicious restaurants at his recommendation including an amazing locals secret where we were the only tourists yet packed full of locals. Shout out to Alfonzo our support vehicle driver who made sure everyones bikes were well maintained throughout including freshly charged batteries for the E-Bikers! Perfect double act together. :)

Advice for Potential Travellers

Get yourself a cycling vest with pocket storage - trust me, it’s a game changer! You’ll stop a lot for photos, and having your phone right there means no rummaging through the Panier every time!

Leaders were awesome and never skipped a beat

Better than expected. Great group of people (even though I was only USA person). Leaders were awesome and never skipped a beat. Everything went smoothly – even when I got lost for a few minutes. Excellent trip leaders, great itinerary, very nice hotel accommodations (except Barcelona)

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was awesome! Couldn't pick a better leader! Very well organized; great sense of humor, fluent English......!

Fascinating, Fantastic, Fun

I’ve been on a lot of cycle tours. This was my first with Exodus. What an experience! I was impressed by the high level of organization and professionalism. Cycling through medieval villages, beautiful farmlands and some days overlooking the Mediterranean gave variety to each day. As did the multitude of trails and pathways. Each restaurant and hotel was specially chosen to offer a unique and quality experience. The leader had really done his homework and pointed out points of interest along the way. I appreciated the guided walks around each town in the evening. And, most importantly, we had a lot of fun!

Most Inspirational Moment

The town of Besalu with its winding streets, monastery and absolutely breathtaking12th Century Bridge.
