Barebones tour

In 2023 after running Hannibal Odysseys for over a decade we will be running a different version of this tour of tours. What started as a custom tour request we are now offering to the public. Hannibal 'Barebones' will have the same epic cycling experience but with a simpler support package. What this means is cheaper hotels, less meals included and less staff. This version of the Odyssey is for the cycling focused!

We created this route for the BBC back in 2009 and have run this tour since 2012 - it is an amazing journey. However, it was time for an update so we have reviewed, re-shaped, revamped and rescouted every section of the journey - routes, restaurants, sites and experience. There are better locations to visit, better roads to ride, better rest day, more optional cycling challenges and lastly, better history - in consultation with the L'Association HANNIBAL BARCA we have adjusted our route - we now ride ever closer to Hannibal's route - our Apennine crossing now reflects this and as ever you will have archaeologist Sam Wood's Hannibalic story telling to accompany your journey.
