This whole cycling tour in Puglia was beautifully organised and we enjoyed every day, riding with Simon and JB, eating outrageously good food and relaxing in the best accommodations.
We had an extraordinary adventure.
We had a great time and loved having a private guide. We certainly would consider going on a trip with you again.
