Is this Backroads nailed it again! From the first pedal stroke to the final toast, Marko, Giuseppe, and Nina were a dream team on wheels. Like a well-oiled chain, they kept everything running smoothly — even the behind-the-scenes magic we never saw. They anticipated every need before we even had to ask, laid out each day's adventures with clarity and energy, and turned what could've been a logistical jigsaw puzzle into a stress-free, high-gear joyride through Sicily. This wasn't just a bike tour — it was a perfectly choreographed Italian escapade. Bravi!

Great views and routes. Food and hotela incredible

E-bike Tour of a lifetime (or until next year). The quality is just so obvious from the check-in to each and every aspect of the trip. We can think of no way to improve all we just accomplished. Cannot wait till next year.

Outstanding leaders Beautiful resorts Good routes Fair food

Stunning scenery, fresh and plentiful food, friendly local hosts for a few of the meals, and spirited, capable, and charming guides. Truly a beautiful week of riding, eating, and a peek into Sicilian history and culture.

This was our first BR trip and we were really happy to hear that so many guests in our group had taken multiple BR trips. Our 3 leaders were excellent guides, so helpful and caring. The electronic shifting bicycles made riding so enjoyable.

The Backroads group, especially guides Alessandro, Francesco, and Giuseppe, made this trip the pinnacle of travel experiences. I am 58 yrs., new to biking, have strict food restrictions, and just completed six months of shoulder PT. Diligent biking prior to our trip ensured an exhilarating experience. Our pictures are nudges to continuously prepare and anticipate the next adventure! Our seamless experience is evidence of the time and dedication the Backroads' teams place behind the scenes ensuring a trip of a lifetime. Daily newsletters, "The Inside Scoop," provides local history and more specifics on the upcoming day. This trip's distinct activities with village locals and establishments could not be achieved by individual planning. As quirky as it sounds, it takes a village to create these topnotch experiences, leaving guests feeling like they are unique and special, if brief, weavings of the village's fabric. Our memories are a magnetic-pull and yearning to return.

Our leaders, Luca, Heidi, and Nicola anticipated our every need and want. They were fun, funny, encouraging, and (of course) supportive! I could not imagine a better way to see Sicily's Ancient Civilizations. It was the perfect mix of biking (including hills and sprints), food, wine (tastings too), gelato/granita, cafe, and (last but not least) culture. The views on the road and from the hotels/towns were breathtaking. Our hardest riders came away thoroughly spent and our more leisurely riders enjoyed nice (but challenging rides) to earn more fresh made bread/cannoli/gelato. It was perfect for all!

Just back from an idyllic trip to Sicily. Accommodations were unique and beautiful. Van support and ride options were fantastic. Guides were spot on. This is a great trip for those inclined to handle straight days of about 60-70+ km with 8% grades (up to 4100 ft elevation). Lots of fabulous special events throughout and excellent local wines that are remarkably inexpensive. Sicily gets two thumbs up from us!

Sicily is a biker's paradise -- quiet roads, in surprisingly good condition -- lush greenery and fields of colorful wildflowers. The routes were traffic-free for the most part and when there were cars, they were respectful, given the Italians' love for the sport. It is challenging riding -- steep inclines up and down -- but with e-bikes, we had no problems and were able to bike a lot further than we otherwise might have. Our leaders were terrific and brought so much energy and knowledge to the trip, making it a peak experience in all respects. The hotels were charming and extremely comfortable. And of course, the food and wine! Do yourself a favor -- don't miss this trip.
