Puglia

A really lovely trip that mixes culture, food, wine, and history!

This was my 5th trip with Exodus and the first time I left feeling unsatisfied. The cost of the trip seemed excessive for what we received. The hotels were not great and food was uninspiring – we passed through lots of lovely little towns and villages and yet on 2 particular occasions stopped in less desirable places for lunch at an odd American styled bar and a buffet style cafe on a busy road. We stayed in masserias two nights instead of one which meant two nights of nothing to do in the afternoon / evenings. People in the hotels and restaurants were very unfriendly and rude. The leader was ok but did nothing above the basics. We had 10 people on e-bikes which in my opinion was way too many as most were inexperienced cyclists.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this trip, that said the first three days are quite challenging in both range and climbing, so managing the battery in the e-bike is essential to successfully complete the ride.
All of the hotels were to a very good standard and the food at the lunchtime stops was also very good.
The majority of the riding was on quiet back roads and only the last day along the Amalfi Coast did things get a little focused.
There were 10 people on the ride and I’m pleased to say we all got along very well which is another bonus to the trip,
