  Dimitri and Niovi are total superstars. We had a total downpour on one of our cycling days and they salvaged it like total pros without skipping a beat. The rest of the tour was absolutely wonderful and they are friendly, knowledgeable and totally helpful. I can't recommend a tour with them enough. 11/10Show more

  This was a really interesting & fun trip. The cycling was varied enough to suit all of us. What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? The palace and stay at Mycenae - and we're not history buffs! What did you think of your group leader? She was absolutely fantastic. She enabled us to experience 'real' Greece - the culture, cuisine, history, scenery & above all the people. Christiana, the tour leader, is obviously a very talented lady, sorting out problems on the hoof without any fuss, and the lunchtime kitty was a real bonus. She was unfailingly supported by the ever-smiling Christos. Do you have any advice for potential travellers? We can thoroughly recommend this trip - you will experience a side of Greece unknown to most holiday makers. Is there anything else you would like to add? More cycling tours in Greece please - we would definitely come back.Show more

  Demanding but enjoyable cycling enhanced by the archeological sites visited, the myths of ancient Greece recounted to us in the warm evenings and the quality, variety and value of the wonderful menus negotiated by our leader. What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? My husband Michael sang queen's "Bicycle" at the Ampitheatre in the temple of Asklepius at Epidauros which was not only clearly heard by our party in the upper echelons but earned a round of applause from the many other tourists!!!! (He sang because our leader Christiana had pointed out in the excellent background notes that the ancient Greeks were expert at acoustic design and if you spoke from the centre point of the ampitheatre you would be heard clearly in the gods of the open air ampitheatre. She was absolutely right.) Also racing over the tops between Epidavros and Tolo and eating dinner on the beach that night. What did you think of your group leader? Our leader Cristiana and her no.2 Cristos were tremendous. This is the first time we have started a cycling holiday with a poem which turned out ot be a prophecy which came true on our trip. They responded to major and minor crisis by keeping us informed acting with the calm of the proverbial swan. They also saved us significant amounts of money by buying lunch through a kitty and negotiating our eveninig menus so that the cost of our food and drink on the holiday was way below the advised amounts in Exodus literature. Do you have any advice for potential travellers? Mug up on Aesops Fables! Go on a diet before you set off! Is there anything else you would like to add? Glad to see you are changing from mountain bikes which were unnecessary to hybrids which will be lighter to ride and the last day of cycling should be rethought. This is our fifth cycle holiday with Exodus all of which we have really enjoyed and is overall ,taking into account cycling accomodation organisation,food and culture, and the door to door nature of the holiday, arguably the best.Show more

  A great holiday combining visits to historical sites I’ve always wanted to visit along with cycle touring and great food. All of the hotels except the one in Athens gave an opportunity for a swim after cycling in either the hotel pool or the sea (in one case, both). We were extremely well looked after while cycling by both Christiana and Christos who kept us supplied with ice cold water at every cycle stop along with either snacks or fruit. Some of the scenery on our tour was spectacular with Mycenae and the road approaching Tolos being particular favourites of mine. The memory of some of the delicious meals we ate will stay with me for a long time. What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? Visiting the historical sites and museums What did you think of your group leader? Excellent, both Christiana and Christos looked after us extremely well throught the holiday Do you have any advice for potential travellers? Make sure you take your swimming costumeShow more

  The tour is very well organized and operated by knowledgeable guides who were able to tell us about Greek history as well as showing us the pertinent sights along our route. The bicycles which were provided were in very good shape and the guides maintained them well during our travels. The accommodations were excellent with hospitable hosts in each place. While the meals were not included in the tour, the guides were very responsive to the group in chosing restaurants each day which enabled us to taste the delicacies of the particular region. I particularly appreciated the sensitivity of our guides to the environment. What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? I really appreciated visiting the large amphitheatre at Epidaurus, which gave me a strong sense of Greece being the cradle of western civilization. What did you think of your group leader? Christiana was superb, not only in her organization and knowledge but in providing a very personal touch in leading the tour. Do you have any advice for potential travellers? Be sure to allow a few days in Athens before or after the tour.  Also, be prepared for hot weather even in May! Is there anything else you would like to add? I have done approximately 25 cycling tours in many countries during the past ten years and I would rank this one among the very best!Show more
