The leaders really made this trip an exceptional adventure. The beauty of the countryside coupled with the leader’s local knowledge and sincere concern for each of us to share and understand all that the region offers made this a lifetime experience.
Nancy Ceridwyn - Oakland, CA
This trip was unforgettable! Of course, the weather cooperated, but we had so much fun. The riding was sometimes challenging and I finally met a hill I couldn't walk (very well)! Celebrating my 69th birthday on a bike with great people, superb guides, and gorgeous scenery couldn't have been better! I am always hesitant to try a new bike, but these were beautifully maintained, very forgiving, responsive, comfortable, and easy to get used to. I had thought about bringing my own bike, but yours were better.

We saw Puglia in a way that we would never have done on our own. Our leaders were awesome. Their primary goal was our comfort and enjoyment. They couldn't do enough for us.
Cathy DiBonaventura - Philadelphia, PA
This trip far exceeded my expectations. We had a blast. Even though I am a novice biker, I never felt like a novice. Our leaders were encouraging, and made sure that I was comfortable in whatever I choose to do.
Martha Custer - Lansdale, PA
Fabulous trip! The group was perfect and our leaders could not have been better. They were the greatest!! Their caring, compassion and knowledge was outstanding. They truly made our trip terrific! I so enjoyed learning about the area and meeting the people.

My husband and I have been fortunate to travel to Italy on several previous occasions but never have we so thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in every sense of the word. From our adorable and wonderful leaders, to the food and accommodations, to the beautifully exotic countryside of Puglia, we LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF OUR TRIP.
Beth Schmid - Charlottesville, VA
This trip was really a great one. I feel I had an opportunity to explore and experience a part of Italy that is not yet overrun with tourists. The routes were truly on Backroads with little traffic and beautiful scenery. Our trip seemed to be filled with extra experiences from exploring a sea grotto to olive oil tasting to dancing with a local band. I cannot think of one thing that I was unhappy.

You will love staying at the charming masserie typical of Puglia. Your efforts on your bike, along scenic inland and coastal routes, provide the ideal justification for you to indulge in the homemade pastas and local specialties of the region. Can you say fresh, fresh, fresh mozzarella! For the more adventurous, Puglia is an undiscovered jewel.

I would like to know what brand/model of seats you had on the bikes. I've bought several in the past years and this seat was by far the most comfortable I've ever tried.
