Open air, history and good food! A surprisingly full and rounded introduction to Sicily. All on a bike.
Most Inspirational Moment
Learning of Ancient Noto. Amazing history in this SE corner of the island. Wonderful baroque towns.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Perfect leader. Excellent knowledge of island, history and invaluable guiding to best restaurants and stops. Well designed week. Well looked after on the road.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Could be hot at the end of June! Made the moderate rating just enough for this average cyclist. Do be ready to jump in the sea; it’s lovely - and welcome! All the hotels are good quality. Singles and couples in equal rooms.
Really excellent cycling trip around south east corner of Italy
Excellent cycling, wonderful guide and an all round great trip
Most Inspirational Moment
Reaching the top of the Cassibile canyon ride in the Cavagrande National Reserve and the wonderful descent
Thoughts on Group Leader
Fantastic! Very thoughtful, utterly professional and a really interesting person, relaying lots of interesting information about Sicily to the group
Advice for Potential Travellers
Quite a lot of ‘up’ on the first day which can be a bit of a baptism of fire in the heat! And some busy roads at times. Also, the included flight time of 16.35 from Gatwick on the first day is far too late to enjoy the hotel or indeed get anything to eat on arrival; so consider an earlier flight or a night in Catania and arrange your own transfer.
Great scenery
We love Italy so settled straight into the scenery, food and drink. Unusual places to stay were great.
Most Inspirational Moment
The gorge day was the most rewarding on day 5 and we deserved our picnic lunch.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Michele was a good leader but being on an electric bike it slowed the group down a bit and limited opportunities to go ahead. Hope that isn’t the way things are going across these tours.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Enjoy the SE of Sicily.
Michele's Sicily

Advice for Potential Travellers
Enjoy
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 !
Advice for Potential Travellers
Amazing countryside, stunning Baroque architecture, fabulous food, what’s not to like …

Would travel again
Most Inspirational Moment
Ragusa and Noto antica circuit cycle
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared to see copious amounts of rubbish on the busy Sicilian Road sides.
Spot on again from Exodus
Perfect combination of cycling, sightseeing and fun!
Most Inspirational Moment
Reaching the top of Cavagrande del Cassibile, one of the deepest canyons in Europe in blistering heat - using only pedal power, to be rewarded by a wonderful picnic lunch prepared by Davide and the minibus driver, Giuseppe.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Davide was spot on for this trip. He gave us all confidence in our abilities to enable us to get the most out of the trip. His passion and love for Sicily was evident throughout, an amazing ambassador for his island. There can't be enough hours in the day for all the things Davide sorted out - restaurants, transfers, bike changes - nothing was too much trouble. And what a great sense of humour - he loved learning new English idioms and trying to use them on a daily basis.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Be prepared for heat and hills - the rewards will far outweigh the effort! Be prepared to try new foods - the flavours are vibrant and bold. Be prepared to cycle in traffic - the group leader will ensure you are safe. Go for an e-bike if you are not confident - it would be a shame to miss out on this awesome trip.
Another great Italian Exodus trip!
Beautiful Baroque towns, great coastal views, delicious food and a brilliant guide
Most Inspirational Moment
Cycling into Syracuse - such impressive architecture! A super way to finish.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Davide was a brilliant guide. He was a fantastic Ambasador for Sicily, sharing his knowledge about the places we went to in an interesting way. His restaurant recommendations provided us with some delicious food. He bonded well with the group and had a great sense of humour. Thank you Davide!
Cycling in Sicily - October 2022
10 out of 10. Davide Di Mauro leads the cycling (from local tour guide company CicloFree) and works really hard to ensure the cycle tour is well organised and great fun. Giuseppe (van back up driver) provided solid back up support all day long with water and any other assistance always available if required. Accommodation all of a good standard. Cycling pitched at the right level without being overly strenuous. Davide ensures that all routes are safe and relatively low traffic routes. Davide puts lots of effort into selecting / suggesting places to eat. All of which were of outstanding quality but not necessarily expensive. I will remember the tour almost as much for culinary highlights as well as for cycling highlights. The cycling was excellent with the bikes being of high quality and very well maintained. Most of all however is the knowledge and enthusiasm that Davide has for Sicilian culture and nature. It was a huge pleasure to be part of a cycle tour led by Davide. Davide made sure the tour was fun from start to finish with his great sense of humour.
Most Inspirational Moment
Visiting the various old towns such as Palazzolo Acreide, Ragusa, Monica, Noto and Syracuse. Cycling back down the road of hairpin bends to Noto from the Cavagrande National Reserve.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our tour Davide Di Mauro was excellent and made the whole trip enjoyable for all. Davide works really hard to ensure everything goes to plan but also is flexible when required to ensure everyone on the tour gets as much as possible from each days cycling. Davide has a fantastic knowledge of Sicilian culture and history which adds a great deal to the enjoyment of the tour. Davide also has an excellent relationship with all the accommodation providers and restaurants which ensures everything goes smoothly and the group get a warm welcome at all stops. On top of all, Davide has a great sense of humour and prides himself on collecting many everyday English language commonly used sayings - which he uses at different moments which is very funny.
Advice for Potential Travellers
No. All went as expected.
How much fun can you have!
Post covid the first trip with Exodus, a little bit of anxiety, a long time since a cycling holiday, however, already decided that based on past experience, I would not be disappointed. Aboslutely right, having spent endless hours worrying about getting fit again, Covid had not been kind to me, I realised that I was not unfit. So enjoyment was the usual making new friends, seeing a country that I had not visited before, tasting and enjoying the culinary delights, understanding the culture, seeing wonderful sights and all on two wheels. But most of all thanks to our guide and everyone else on the trip having a very good time, the latter being an understatement. Even a bit of rain could not put a dampner on the holiday.
Most Inspirational Moment
So many
Thoughts on Group Leader
Excellent, command of English good and his care and concern over safety and welfare, his understaning of idioms a delight.
