What people love about Bicycle Tours in Provence
- Bike Tour, Provence, France (guided groups)
My wife and I have been on four Chain Gang Tours - Loire Valley, Provence, Dordogne, and Devon - and the fact that we've been back for that much return business speaks for itself. All the tours have been brilliant fun, The tours are very nicely planned in terms of routes, taking in a wide array of interesting attractions, from wineries to mushroom caves, chateaux to village pubs (Devon!). The tours are well-organised, with guides who are unfailingly capable, friendly, well-informed, interesting, and great fun. The accommodation is never less than serviceable, and often very good, while the evening meals ranged from good to stunning, some of the best food I've ever enjoyed. The cycling is generally manageable for someone with a reasonable level of fitness and experience of cycling, although some of the Devon tour was a little more demanding (although I gather it may have been changed sine we did it). Overall, the tours have been very much highlights of our years; we've always looked forward to them with eager anticipation, and never been disappointed.
- Mont Ventoux to Luberon
We did the Mt Ventoux to Luberon self guided trip and it was brilliant - everything we wanted and more. From getting picked up at Avignon, to the comprehensive and friendly orientation, great hotels and meals (especially Hotel des Pins in Bedoin), the maps- everything went smoothly. We booked the trip online from New Zealand and it was so easy, and David Martin was really helpful. The scenery was superb - and the climb up Mt Ventoux awesome. Thanks for a brilliant trip - we would definitely recommend you to others, and will book another trip if/when we get back to France.
- Provence Camargue To Nimes
The bike tour covered some beautiful and very interesting territory but it was also very strenuous so we often got into town very late and exhausted without the time or energy to tour the town. The days varied from 18-35 miles and included one very steep day and one day where we had to deal with headwinds. The directions were clear in the countryside but sometimes challenging going in or out of the towns so that we had to supplement with google maps which didn’t take into consideration traffic, biking lanes, closed roads. One of the most exciting experiences was the ornithological park in Camargue which we found on our own. The view from Baux was spectacular.
