Customer Review
When Passion Doesn't Translate to Performance
I've always been drawn to the idea of exploring Italy on two wheels, and Cicloposse's promise of unforgettable cycling experiences resonated deeply with me. As an avid cyclist and someone who values sustainability, I was excited to embark on one of their signature trips focused on food and wine. Unfortunately, my experience was a mixed bag, with more downs than ups. The initial communication was prompt, and the itinerary looked amazing on paper, but the execution fell short in several key areas. Firstly, the bikes provided, despite being high-end models like the Cannondale Synapse with a Bosch motor and Shimano GRX, were not well-maintained. My bike had a persistent issue with the gears, which made climbing the Tuscan hills a frustrating chore rather than the joy it should have been. The accommodations, while cozy, were not always as described, and on one occasion, we found ourselves in a room that was significantly smaller than expected, with less amenities than promised. The food and wine aspect, which was a major selling point for me, was also somewhat of a letdown. While the local cuisine was indeed delicious, the cooking classes felt rushed, and the wine tastings, although enjoyable, lacked the depth and insight I had hoped for. What struck me as particularly disappointing was the lack of attention to detail and the seeming disorganization in some aspects of the tour. For a company that prides itself on being socially responsible and environmentally conscious, I expected a more polished and considerate approach to the tour's logistics and client experience. Perhaps my expectations were too high, given the glowing reviews and the company's appealing mission. However, as someone who has participated in several bike tours across Europe, I can confidently say that Cicloposse has the potential to excel but currently falls short in delivering a seamless, high-quality experience that matches its promotional promises. Until they address these issues and refine their operations, I would caution potential travelers to carefully weigh their options.
