Avignon Tours in Fall

We loved the bike/barge trip. The countryside in the south of France was beautiful. The crew and guide - Hugo were very helpful, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The cabins are not big (an understatement) but they were sufficient as you are actually out all day. The food was better than we expected. My suggestions to make it better: The cycling on the first day around Avignon is too long, on the first day it could be 2 hours shorter. The ride through the Camargue to meet the boat further down river was unnecessary. We could have stayed on the boat and had a bit more of a relax after a 65km ride the day before. We dont agree with the gratuity at the end of the trip. Why is an additional payment required for them doing their job (dont get me wrong , i thought all the crew were brilliant, i just dont agree with gratuities)

Our group of 6 had an amazing time on this trip, the guides and staff were friendly and looked after all our needs, going above and beyond to make this a memorable trip. Our fellow travelers were a great bunch of people.

A very enjoyable week cycling around Provence in glorious weather. Good company and an experienced and knowledgeable tour Leader. Our third cycle tour with Explore all of which have created great memories.

I can’t say enough positively about Erwin, who was always aware of us and available for questions. He was always patient with us and writing us to cycle safely. He’s an excellent guide tour guide to leader Good mix of we 16 cyclists I’m glad I had an E-bike as I could not without a lot of strain on my 82-year-old legs with bilateral knee replacements cycle up the long Hills

Erwin was a well organised ,experienced and cheerful guide who instilled an enthusiasm for exploring the beautiful towns and countryside of Provence .He was knowledgeable and flexible and provided great bikes It was my first experience of a group cycle and I am looking forward to another .

This cycle tour covered a small area of Provence. Delightful scenery, a couple of challenging hills, but doable for most cyclists. Loved the variety of nature, Roman archaeology. I highly recommend this tour
