Cycling in Sardinia

the guides ( giovanni and Michaela ) were a fantastic duo who complemented each other well. they ensured that everyone in the group was looked out for. the pit stops of the orange van perched usually on the edge of an amazing vista with fresh fruit and cold water was one of the highlights, again organised by the tag team guiding duo. the cycling was slightly more strenuous than i had envisaged , but with the support of the group and the guides it was a great sense of achievement finishing the trip ...

A very enjoyable week of cycling in Sardinia's south west coastal area with a lovely group. Some long climbs which were rewarded with equally long descents. The weather was sunny for the first couple of days, thereafter overcast and occasionally rainy, but this did not dampen the spirits of the group. The leaders - Michele and Simone were excellent, ensuring all the group had an enjoyable time. The hotels and agriturismos we stayed in along the route were all very good with excellent home cooked food.

Some challenging and some easy-going cycling in a very interesting part of Italy.The coastal scenery was impressive,the food was varied and always enjoyable and the company was great! and then there was the swimming!! Our leaders were fit ,competent and informative and complemented each other nicely. Oh!did I mention the weather? Warm and dry,hot at times,great for cycling.

Wow, it is a must to do this trip. Not only is the scenery really great, the weather in October was also fantastic. Michele and Enrico were the most hospitable hosts, knowledgeable and a lot of fun to be with. We had some amazing food, stayed in great places that were clean. We slept like champs each night after cycling. I'm a road cyclist and found the hills challenging but I will say that if you ride often, you will find this fun and challenging and easy on the flat days.

A perfect break taking us away from the daily pressures! Michele and Simone were perfect guides - we learned a lot about Sardinia, Italy and many other things. It was a perfectly pitched level for us, with Nicky being pushed close to her limit whilst also being enough cycling for me as well. Lovely trip to the islands, great hike on one afternoon, wine tasting and a couple of Agriturismos. October weather was kind to us - many sunny days with a slightly challenging head wind for a couple of days - that added to the challenge!

Cycling in Sardinia was a great way to experience the differing scenery, and this combined with time spent at a different beach nearly every day for a swim - with the satisfaction of knowing you hadn't taken the easy option to get there - made for a perfect holiday. Along with this we had warm weather and sun in September, good hotels, and some fantastic food.

Excellent trip, great time of year to go. The trip was well put together and the cycling was safe and varied. Would say I thought it was more a 3.5-4 than the 3 it was given.

Our guides, Enrico and Giovanni, can take much credit for an excellent holiday. The coastal rides are beautiful and the hotels are very comfortable. There may be scope to improve on the dinner options however.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this trip. It had a great deal to offer- nice cycling (fair bit challenging but not too difficult for a reasonably fit person), lovely views on the coast, interesting archaeological sites, excellent, top-class guides, generally nice Italian food, good hotels, vary nice group of fellow cyclists, lovely beaches, swimming pools at some hotels, comfortable hotels, etc

The best way to enjoy amazing scenery with great company. I do cycling to train for sprint triathlons and found the pace of cycling and hilly days extremely challenging for the rating given. We did get an opportunity to relax and swim in the sea each day which was an unexpected bonus. I would definitely do this or a similar trip again although I would do more cycling before I went in preparation.
