It takes a lot to come together to make to make a perfect trip but this one succeeded. The group gelled perfectly although there was big range of cycling abilities. The leader was excellent, the accommodation good and last but not least he hire bikes were very good, which is not always the case.
The best moment was the exciting descent down a series of hairpins on the penultimate day of the trip
Daniela and Guiseppe took very good care of everyone. Daniela's knowledge of the places we visited also enhanced the quality of the trip
Country is beautiful with so much history. Great for historical buffs and scenery lovers. Everyday was different with scenery and great variety of hills. Going through farmlands and cycling along the waterfronts.
The city of Syracuse is spectacular.
Our guide Daniela was amazing, very knowledgeable of the country's history and areas. You can see her love and passion of the country come out in everything she said and did. She went out of her way to make sure we all enjoyed ourselves. Giuseppe our driver, bike repairer and lunch maker was also fantastic. Though Giuseppe did not know much English none of us had any problem communicating with him. The lunches he put together were spectacular, healthy and sometimes too much. Daniela and Giuseppe worked so well together.
Some of the hills are challenging so preparing ahead of time would be advisable but very doable.
Lovely Holiday in Sicily.
Lea the guide was very good, friendly, patient and very knowledgeable.
There were 13 in our group, many were club cyclists who left me behind on the hills.
For me the hills were steep and some very long!
I think that was more to do with my level of fitness than anything else. That said I enjoyed the challenge and I didn’t give in!
For me the highlights were Modica, Noto and Syracuse.
I thought the accommodation was of a high standard overall. Loved the farmhouse, we had a lovely suite.
The picnic lunches were excellent courtesy of Giuseppe who travelled with our luggage and looked after us and the bikes. I have to say the bikes were in excellent condition.
The weather was fantastic all week, temperatures ranged from 25 to 30 degrees. Pretty hot for someone from Shetland!!
The only area I felt could be improved was the choice of venue for evening meals, They were fine and I think chosen to cater for all tastes.
This was a minor gripe in an otherwise fantastic trip.
I met some lovely people, took some awesome pictures, got fitter, saw the sun!
The historic town of Syracuse and the sunset. I enjoyed it all really!
Lea was great.
Get some hill climbs in before you go!
I have just returned from a week’s cycling in Sicily that covered 45-65 k a day. The 15-person group – Icelandics, Canadians and Brits – were immensely kind and supportive.
Improving in fitness over the week and not being too far behind the real cyclists was, for me, inspirational. Off the bike, the historical sites, especially the catacombs at Syracuse, and the beautiful coastline, were also stimulating.
Leah was a an excellent leader and very knowledgeable on the history of Sicily. Giuseppe provided wonderful lunches and van back up.
I am fit, but not particularly cycling fit. I did intend to get cycling fit but the poor weather meant that I cycled in the gym whilst watching a film on the TV screen. Reality was much tougher and Sicily was hillier than I expected! So my advice would be to prepare a little better than I did. A 'moderate' ride was for me 'challenging'.
Cycling holiday
Lovely scenery - so varied Loved cycling down to the coast and see the lovely blue see Learning from others in the group how they approach different challenges
Excellent. For the whole week, he had exactly the right balance. We had a really mixed group of some really keen cyclists and others (like myself) that would like to be on my bike more but have little time. Thomas ensured a really great pace and waited for those at the back, always ensuring we kept together and he was encouraging in terms of doing well and doing the right pace. He was extremely helpful, always paying each one of us his full attention.
Do some practice cycling up hills!
This was one of the better cycling trips I have done. Cycling was challenging only 1 or 2 days. We cycled through some amazing scenery. The architecture in several of the towns, especially Modica, was extraordinary. Some hotels were better than others, but that is what to expect on an Exodus trip. And it goes without saying that the food, especially the seafood and deserts, was yummy!
Reaching the most southern tip of Sicily, and putting my left foot in the Mediterranean, and right foot in the Ionean Sea. It is my Facebook cover page, and the wallpaper on my computer at work.
Our guide Thomas was so thorough, organized, and especially caring of all travelers. He encouraged the less experienced cyclists as they struggled up the hills. Any request was looked into and honored.
BRING BUG REPELLENT! The mosquitos are relentless, and they are everywhere, even in the larger cities like Catania. If you have extra days in the beginning or end, visit Taormina.
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!!
Not applicable.
Thomas was such a lovely guy! An absolute gentleman! He looked after us so well! Good leaders really matter!! Great sense of humour!
No.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Fantastic guide,great crowd of people,good hotels.great weather,good food
The cycling and seeing Sicily.
Thomas Gorblich is such a lovely guy with a good sense of humour.he looked after us well.i found him very informative.he had great patience with us all and he's such a good sport.
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.
probably the food!
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.
Try and learn at least a little Italian, as English is certainly not that widespread in Sicily.
