On the "Cycling the Heel of Italy" self-guided trip, is renting e-bikes an option?

I am pleased to confirm it is possible to hire e-bikes on this trip. The E-Bikes are heavier in comparison to the standard bike hire, so do take when when riding, mounting and de-mounting the e-bikes.

Is this tour guided. I would prefer guided Plus do you have Ebikes

this is a self guided trip run and operated by Headwater who are the sister brand to Exodus Travels. If you require a guided trip they specialise in the area. We can offer Ebikes on most trips if you are interested in a self guided trip do let me know

How do you get from Lecce to Florence as the map of the trip shows leaving Lecce and going to Florence

From Leece, you can make your own travel arrangements then onto Florence. To Florence I would recommend exploring either train or an internal flight.

This was my first trip with Exodus, and it was wonderful that it inspired me to go on two more! Serena our guide was the ideal leader for this tour.

It was a great trip. All the trails they use are in All Trails. I suggest guests who may not want elevation climbs, review it completely before signing up. This is NOTa flat level hike. Veriano did a wonderful job leading the group and gave us History as we went. Hotel Due Torri was really charming. I loved how the whole family worked in hotel and restaurant. The rooms well maintained and cleaned daily.
