Catherine Farrow UK Tuscany Cycling Resort
Just to thank you for recommending a fab location for cycling at this time of year-we have just got back from a week in Tuscany-great routes, food & weather .Cycled 70-100 miles on 5 days.It was brilliant.
From Fred Groves UK Apulia Italy
We have just returned from a great tour in Apulia but very hot in July! The itinerary was perfect with a blend of traditional houses ( Trulli) Farmhouses and good quality hotels with very interesting destinations each day all very worthy of visiting. We had a great holiday thank you .
From Sarah Bedford Uk - Italian Cycle Resort
Yet again we have had another brilliant holiday. The weather was colder than it should have been but the new De Rosas were wonderful- Bruce had a X-treme lite and wanted to put it in his suitcase. I had a Merak- the lightest bike I’ve been on. We mixed trips with guides with our own self led tours as we know the area fairly well by now but even so found some new and unspoilt roads to ride along. Italian drivers were as usual particularly polite to cyclists. The hotel is now exquisite. The Well Centre is superb and stopped any stiffening of the body so we felt fresh enough to tackle 100 km rides every day even at our age. There’s a big jacuzzi, an outdoor pool, a steam room and a sauna as well as other luxuries such as a mentholated ice water spray and then a relax room which we used for up to an hour. Despite the food which is limitless and just what you need (well, I don’t actually really need five desserts!) we lost a little weight and felt ten times fitter. As ever the welcome was hugely warm and it speaks volumes that some of the staff are still there after at least the four years that we have been going. And the little things that make all the difference like the cycle clothing daily laundry service is what makes us keep going back. That and the countryside which is varied and peaceful. Thanks once again for all your help.
From Sue Spriggs Uk Western Sicily
Another lovely holiday again , our third with Hooked on Cycling.
From Aisling UK Sardinia
Just back from Sardinia, best holiday ever. Cycling was challenging, we were complete novices but we did it, all those hills! but it was a wonderful experience , what a perfect way to see that beautiful country. I think we are hooked... Can't imagine another cycle that would combine so much in terms of quiet roads, breathtaking scenery etc, let me know which of your other cycling holidays would compare, for next year or do we have to go back to Sardinia?
From Charles UK Sardinia
I never emailed you to say thank you for our mini tour you organaized in Sardinia for us in October. It was fantastic, we loved every minute (well except some of the party on the uphill ones, anyway). We were particularly impressed by the local organization, especially when he came out on Saturday night to fix my broken spoke and warped back wheel.
From Corine Hickey Ireland Sardinia
Just to let you know we had a fantastic trip to Sardinia. We're only back as we stayed on for an extra week. We thought the itinerary was superb, it was harder than I thought it was going to be but a great challenge. All the hotels were very nice and the food too

Grant and Andrea Sayer UK Western Sicily
We really appreciated your advice on the places to stay for the additional nights - they were great choices for our down days. The Sicily tour was a great mixture of routes , coast and terrain. Deffinantly interested in one of your tours in the future’
Paul Muir UK Pearls of Venice
‘Good route choice from start to finish, getting in and out of towns was well planned if a little complicated. The accommodation at Volparro was really excellent, view from trattoria was stunning. From Mestre to Chioggia was a delight, views great and stopped for long afternoon break by the coast. Padova to Vincenza was really good, as soon as we got out of Padova a view of the hills opened up and made all the difference. Good route choices all day, the hotel San Raphael was excellent.
Helen Tout UK Italian Cycle Resort

Peter Lehmann UK Italian & Spanish Cycle Resort

Neil McAlpine UK Pisa to Florence
I've recently returned from one of your orgainsed cycling trips through Tuscany. It was superb; weather, people, food, accommodation. Particularly the Farmhouse Podera de Rosa near Lucca. I found the guidebook with printed notes very useful. I would recommend the trip to any of my friends.
Linda Hamilton South Africa Italian Cycle resort
I just wanted to let you guys know that we had a great holiday in Italy, the hotel was great, the staff excellent and the food – well I think both Brent and I went back to SA heavier than we left, and we had ridden our bikes every day !!. We loved the cycling there and the guides were very good
Nigel Rees UK Coast to Coast Italy
Thanks for your phone message concerning fixing a pre-tour meeting with Giovanni - I didn't pick up the message until after we had actually met as we set off for Italy before you phoned. The meeting went smoothly, the Tour product was excellent and as you advised Giovanni was very helpful not least in resolving the odd minor hiccup. Very pleasant and knowledgeable guy. We thought the route was really well constructed and whilst the Hotel Santa Fiora was comparatively average we recognised some of the difficulty in finding hotels in that particular area. The other hotels were either good or in the cases of the Italia in Urbino and Cortona, and the Antico Casale in Scansano, exceptional.
We are hoping to try the Mont Ventoux / Provence Independent tour next July once we know the details of the Tour de France so we can dovetail the two. If its as good as our previous 3 Hooked on Cycling trips we will be very satisfied
