    Is this tour available to 2 people? Is it on road bikes? How many kilometers / and what is the daily elevation please?

    Group size
    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Exodus Adventure TravelsOperatorWritten February 2026

      This tour is a self-guided cycle holiday, so it is absolutely suitable for 2 people as long as the hotels are available. The bikes on this trip are hybrid bikes, rather than road bikes, as the terrain can be a little more gravelly in places. We rate this a moderate level trip, so it isn't the most active - appealing to the active rider that is looking for a relaxed trip. The kilometres are as follows: Day 2: 49km (roughly -200m elevation), Day 3: 65km (roughly -150m elevation), Day 4: 61km (around +/- 40m elevation), Day 5: 52km (very flat, small 20m hills throughout), Day 6: 53km (few 100m inclines), Day 7: 55km (+20m elevation). It's mostly a downhill trip with very minimal inclines.

    Asked on December 18th, 2025

    do you have ebikes for this self guided tour

      E-Bikes are possible. They are an additional £254.00 per e-bike.

    Neil

    Asked on November 23rd, 2025

    what types of bike do you use?

    Transport
    • Exodus Adventure TravelsOperatorWritten November 2025

      On this particular holiday we use the following: Bike information Hybrid bike brand is Specialized Frame with single chainring 44T derailleur with XT 12 speed gearbox (Male default bike) or Cube with single chainring 44T derailleur with XT 12 speed gearbox (Male but only if the Specialised is not available) and Fuji traverse (Female) with Shimano Tourney, 48/38/28T w/ chainguard and Shimano Tourney rear derailleur. In short: the bikes have a good range of gears for the elevation on the trip. Ebike brand is ATALA. Male and female frames. Gravel and road bikes are available for hire but note that they do not come with panniers. They will have a saddle bag instead.

    Asked on May 17th, 2025

    On the "Cycling the Heel of Italy" self-guided trip, is renting e-bikes an option?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Exodus Adventure TravelsOperatorWritten May 2025

      I am pleased to confirm it is possible to hire e-bikes on this trip. The E-Bikes are heavier in comparison to the standard bike hire, so do take when when riding, mounting and de-mounting the e-bikes.

    Asked on June 9th, 2024

    How do you get from Lecce to Florence as the map of the trip shows leaving Lecce and going to Florence

    Transport
    • Exodus Adventure TravelsOperatorWritten June 2024

      From Leece, you can make your own travel arrangements then onto Florence. To Florence I would recommend exploring either train or an internal flight.
