Avignon Tours in April 2026

Our second trip with Explore, and both have been Fantastic. We had an excellent group to ride with, the bicycles were great, and the location, Provence, was amazing and beautiful. But what really pulled it together was our great team leader, Erwin. He was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, provided excellent guidance throughout this journey. And beyond that, he has a passion for Provence, its people, and its history, that he was able to effectively share with the group. He clearly spent the time researching and exploring the area to ensure we had the very best experience! We hope, and would feel very lucky, to ride with him again! Thanks!!!

This bike and barge trip was absolutely wonderful. The crew was great, the food was much more delicious than I expected thanks to chef Bob and our guide, Weiger was wonderful. The route was well planned out and very doable if you have some previous biking experience. The trip exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend it.

Bike n Barge trip in France was perfect. No complaints at all. Staff were awesome, well organized, food was beyond expectations. I had a standard bike which is of high quality and fun to ride. The bike route was fun with small picturesque villages and beautiful scenery. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everyone’s needs were taken care of. I definitely recommend this trip.

Every aspect of our bike & barge was above expectations. From the gourmet dinners, to the extraordinary guide & the efficiency & friendliness of the crew could not have been better.

This was my first bike and barge trip with them. I was very impressed with the detailed information provided and the efficiency of your staff. The biking experience was excellent as well. We had a pleasant and knowledgeable guide and we had a variety of interesting places we visited. The food prepared by our delightful chef was delicious and we had plenty to eat. The sleeping areas were small but comfortable and clean. I highly recommend it and would travel with them again.

Our March Provence Bike and Barge trip was a fabulous experience with the full support of a very professional crew. Our cycling guide was fantastic; he took time each day to get to know the group and chat with everyone, as well as sort any bike issues. I enjoyed the variety in the itinerary and would recommend doing the optional wine degustation in Aigues-Mortes. We always had time for the important stuff of coffee and toilet breaks. The barge meals were amazing! Despite cycling 45-50 kms a day on average, I am sure I put on weight. The on-board crew were most attentive to every issue or query. All-in-all, the trip could not have been better and only marred by unavoidable high spring floods in the French waterways. However, the reorganisation of the day-to-day cycling schedule was highly professional. The electric bikes were perfect for my partner and me were well-worth the additional dollars. Full marks to the cycle company for their daily support.
