We love the diversity of our guide team, our linguists and mechanics, historians and ex-professional riders, our archaeologists and motivators. However, no matter how hard we all try, it is the soigneurs who always come out as the favourites on tour!
Which Odyssey is longest, which is toughest, which has the biggest climbs, the most elevation, the best roads?!
Check the table below for a cycling based statistical analysis of our Odysseys up until and including 2023.
Get the full story on The Odyssey – Istanbul to Ithaca written from the deck of our 32m gulet yacht the Ali Candan (the one in the foreground of the cover shot)!
Get the full story on Othello – Marrakesh to Porto Odyssey as today our riders head out of the Sahara desert and into the Atlas Mountains!
We have been asked a few times for a running sheet for our homepage video so here it is! Spot the cyclist in every shot and see how many locations you can identify!
This is a beautiful island to relax after a month on the road from Istanbul. It isn’t as touristy as so many Greek islands – you have genuine traditional villages, spectacular beaches and tons of history – perfect for an Odyssey as well as a post Odyssey relax!
See the best of Chile and Argentina from the road as you cycle your way along Chile’s stunning Pacific Coast, stopping at many of the country’s vineyards, before winding your way through the world’s second highest mountain range, The Andes.
Guide Max Hofman has worked with us for over a decade. He is loved by guests for his enthusiasm, spirit and dedication to every rider on tour. In his downtime from touring, he works as a teacher in Young, NSW. His specialty at school (of course!) is both cycling and those kids who need a little extra hand.
On all our Odysseys, we will give you a custom Scicon Race Rain Bag with your name on it. These have been a revelation on tour since we introduced them in 2020.
The inaugural trip departs in May 2023. And every Fall and Spring after that! Watch the latest video below
