Self-Guided Tours in Italy

I was very disappointed with our Exodus Trip. The Canadian webpage says that you will be staying in Hotel la Tavernetta, which is a 4-star hotel in Scopello. And that you will be in Daniela’s B&B in San Vito Lo Capo. We didn’t stay in either of these hotels. I didn’t find out that we were not staying in either of these hotels until I had paid in full. I emailed several times once I got my itinerary to ask why. I was told the website had just not been updated. Well, it is still not updated. I chose Exodus as I heard that they chose upgraded hotels and were a cut above other travel operators. Then right off the bat, the hotels were disappointing. I have travelled a fair bit – but mostly independently – so this was the first time using a tour operator. It is much more expensive to use a tour operator – and I truly do not see any value that was provided. It could have been so much better than it was.

Ralph Scott Cycling the Heel of Italy – Matera to Lecce

The route from Bolzano in the Dolomites to Venice offers a stunning mix of picturesque landscapes, charming villages, and historical sites. The Dolomites provide a dramatic backdrop with their towering peaks, while the cycling paths pass through serene countryside, vineyards, and scenic routes. The cycling experience can vary in difficulty based on the chosen route, terrain, and elevation gains.
