Expert‑Led Cycling Adventures, Perfected Over 50 Years
One world, two wheels – our cycling holidays 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 trip 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, cycle 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.

I did this tour in June 2026 and enjoyed it so much, inspire of having no experience cycling on the open road. The tour guide Matteo was wonderful, and I felt very safe and well looked after. The accommodation was very good, the first accomodation at Feudo Bauly was superb, I only regretted not staying there for couple of nights before the tour started. Beautiful pool. A very friendly group on the tour as well, mixed ages and all socialised together really well, with Mateo joining us for group dinners at terrific restaurants he knew. I will definitely book another cycling tour with Exodus again.
Perfect cycling roads and paths through forests and near the lovely coast – and once actually on the beach. Brilliant guides, extremely interesting history and varied food. So flat that it’s also suitable for non cyclists. A unique opportunity to experience three countries and cultures. Lucky to have such an interesting group too and I really appreciated spending time with non Brits! And I was really impressed with all 3 countries which achieved independence from the USSR only 35 years ago – and their transformation is inspirational.
We just returned from this trip (June, 2026) and were blessed with nice sunny weather (not too hot fortunately) and a great group of cyclist with a passionate local leader!
