Expert‑Led Biking Adventures, Perfected Over 50 Years
One world, two wheels – our biking tours immerse you in a destination through the knowledge and insight of our expert local guides.
Whether you prefer a leisurely ride or want to test yourself, we have adventures for every level of rider. Each tour is graded to help you find the right fit, with details on difficulty, terrain, vehicle support and the balance of on and off-road riding clearly outlined in every itinerary.
Ride through the rolling vineyards and hilltop villages of Italy, pedal Vietnam to discover vibrant culture and unforgettable cuisine, or follow sun-kissed coastal trails in Portugal. In Sri Lanka, bike between ancient temples, lush tea plantations and wildlife-rich national parks for an adventure that goes far beyond the guidebook.
Along the way, our guides know when to pause for the view, where to find the best local flavours and how to reveal hidden places most travellers miss. With immersive cultural experiences and the freedom of exploring on two wheels, there’s no better way to see the world.

It’s been 1 year since the first week of June, 2025 when my wife and I did the 1-week cycling of the Puglia region beginning in the city/town of Matera (which is in the Basilicata region, right on the border of the Puglia region). We had such an amazing time exploring the back country roads and many small quaint towns the Puglia region offers.
So many memorable stops along the way including caffe, gelato, walks in town squares (piazza).
The group of 15 riders plus Emanuele (local tour guide) and Leonardo (driver/assistant) were all great people to spend a vacation with.
This was my 12th Exodus cycling trip and this was one of the most fantastic!
The countryside and mountains are among the most beautiful in Europe.
Our group leader was outstanding, taking care of our many different needs and organising some of the best meals we’ve had.
Brilliant cycling on amazing roads, guided by the best leader, Armando
We had the best guide I’ve ever encountered. His name is Armand and he is the most ressourceful/knowledgeable guide I’ve ever seen. The driver Arsene was also super friendly and professionnal. It’s not for the faint of heart because there is a LOT of elevation but for anyone decently fit it is qui pleasurable. We had the most amazing views everywhere we went and everything was well planned out and smooth.
