Great tour, great guide, great bikes. - Excellent guide, great bikes. Only down side was the bike shop didn’t open when it was meant to but it did mean we could then spend time exploring the cathedral and around the castle, so was no problem. The guide adjusted the trip to suite us - stopping at various locations to share some history/local info,

DON'T BOOK IT! - We went to Otranto (1.4 hours drive) only to find out that the tour was cancelled without prior warning. I tried ringing them several times with no response. After a 20 minutes wait in front of the meeting point they finally decided to tell us it was cancelled because it didn't meet the minimum participants number. Terrible customer service.
