Avignon Tours in October 2026

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 .

We had a great time on the Bike and Barge tour travelling from Avignon to Aigues-Mortes. All the staff on the “Caprice” were fantastic and our tour leader Micky took good care of us. The bike rides were great fun, travelling through beautiful countryside, with interesting stops along the way, and the e-bikes made it fairly easy. The food was outstanding! We would highly recommend this trip for people who like to get out for some active travel in places a bit off the beaten track, who like food and wine, and who enjoy sharing the experience with a small group of like-minded people.

I really enjoyed this trip. It provided the right blend of organisation and flexibility to suit my preferences. All of the hotels were excellent and everyone was friendly and helpful. When I needed support, the response was swift. The walking instructions were usually clear and the downloaded GPX files allowed me to double-check when I was unsure. For me the estimated times were more than enough for breaks and photos. I would happily use them for any other walking holidays. Thanks!

The hotel in Avignon is rather basic, and the rides from Avignon start and finish there. There are lots of cycle paths with barriers and roundabouts to be navigated, and traffic in rush hour. The hotel in Pernes-les-Fontaines is much more comfortable, although the food at the hotel in the evening was rather disappointing. The rides from here were much better - no traffic or cycle paths, just country roads.

We were very pleased with the chef on the Estrell. The food was fantastic. Our biking guide was also a history buff which was great. His guiding was for the most part good. Just a few minor issues.
