Experiencing Puglia by bicycle was wonderful. A much less touristed part of Italy than most other regions, the roads were overall much quieter and the experience more genuine. The bicycle I received worked well, and the agenda and routing for each day was clear. I appreciated the self-guided nature of the trip to allow each of us to go at our preferred pace.
An interesting and vey varied trip. Sara our group leader was delightful and efficient.
It was a busy itinerary, very enjoyable, maybe not quite as leisurely as one may have thought it would be.!
A taste of a lesser known region of Italy This trip gave a flavour of the region of Puglia in more ways than one... Staying in four different locations across the week, we learned about the importance of olives and wine in the region with visits to a an olive grove for olive oil tasting and a factory for wine tasting, and were encouraged to try local specialities by our leader who at group meals ordered a range of typical dishes so that we could try a variety. Although not specifically a food tour, food has to be a major part of any trip to Italy...
