Our bike barge trio from Aigues Mortes to Avignon was a great experience. Whilst I was reluctant to hire an e-bike, I was pleased we had as there were a couple of hill climbs that were challenging in the heat and very easy on an e-bike. Our guides were very organised - great company and leadership on the rides. I cant speak highly enough of Mikayla and Caterina!
First, the crew and the tour leader were awesome. I had a couple of issues though with the road condition on a couple of the days. The roads were loose gravel and loaded with potholes, so you could never take your eyes off the road, just really couldn’t enjoy the scenery. We also had a day of very high winds, so be aware that you can get caught in the mistrials at some times of the year. My final complaint was the lack of bathrooms at our stops, and this company does not utilize a chase van, so if there’s a problem while you’re riding, there isn’t an easy solution available, which happened to us in the high wind day. Our boat was great, our dining experience was amazing, and our guide was top notch.
Our trip, Aigues-Mortes to Avignon, was given special quality by the Italian Guide Michaela. She was outstanding really. Organised, funny, unflappable & professional. Her knowledge and care of her clients was first class-100%. Micheala was the Leader and the other members of the Team were also Italian. The Chef Joseph was excellent very well prepared food. Michaeli the Steward was excellent also, with his daily wine matches and pre dinner speeches. Nothing was too much trouble for Michaeli. We were lucky to have Caterina as an extra guide and she was also very good. Beyond their professional qualities, Michaela especially, became our friend for the trip and even made our downtime socialising fun. The impromptu musical evenings with Caterina on Guitar and passengers joining in with fun song made some our nights on the deck very memorable.
