Your local rep was wonderful and came to do the orientation at the first hotel in Pienza…….We chatted to your other staff many times and he was amazing!!! As we had done a tour with him last year in Puglia and had met him then as he did the orientation ….there was a great connection…..And so he was so very helpful with the small bike issue we encountered….. 🙂 And the restaurants amazing….. and the scenery on the rides….it is a great tour – thank you!
A++++
Our third bike tour with Pure Advenures – exactly as we expect and love every minute!
This trip exceeded our expectations! Good value for the tour package – bikes, rides/information, loved our hotels, and support during. Mar and the Pure Adventures team in Puglia took very good care of us, we are already planning our next adventure!
This tour was the perfect amount of days and cycling for my husband and I. We loved Matera and would have stayed longer in Alberobello – so cute! Pure Adventures did a great job and we felt taken care of from all of the emails back and forth with Mar and the digital per-tour details and then with the tour itself. Kudos to the local support crew!
