Normandy Tours in Fall

Everything was perfectly arranged during our holiday, the tour guide Yannis Brousset was excellent and took care of all the arrangements during our holiday, so we were thoroughly able to relax and enjoy the beautiful areas we visited with Yannis providing with just the right amount of detail at the numerous interest spots we stopped at. The various events organised were brilliant.

Had a great time over the six days through Brittany and Normandy. Yannis made the trip enjoyable, relaxed, well organised and interesting. It was run at a good pace, nothing felt to long or to short, was plenty to take in and see. Cycle routes were interesting and kept us off a lot of roads where possible. Food stops and restaurants that Yannis took us too were all lovely with plenty of options to try. The trip to the cidre distillery was a nice stop to break up some of the heavier history stops. We covered a good amount of history, was just the right amount. Hotels were all well located, bathrooms were a little odd in some as would have been nice to have a shower after long rides, but had to make do with baths in a few. Bikes were easy to ride and adjust where needed. Overall would be more than happy to travel with Exodus on another cycle trip, hoping more locations in France become available as guided trips as prefer these over self guided options.

I had a great time on the trip. Although the bike tour was challenging, it was very interesting and I felt that I was in good hands. The guides were friendly, competent and fun. My only negative comment would be that we could have had a free day to relax and rest up a bit from the constant movement from hotel to hotel. In spite of this, I felt that the trip was well worth the expense.

I absolutely loved this trip! The cycling was perfect: around 90% on dedicated bike paths, with very little time spent on roads, which made it feel relaxed and safe the whole way through. Every day brought something different: charming medieval villages, peaceful countryside, and powerful reminders of history along the D-Day beaches. The food was a real highlight — from fresh seafood on the coast to delicious local cheeses and pastries, every meal felt like a reward after a day in the saddle. Mont-Saint-Michel and Saint-Malo were just as magical as I’d imagined. . Overall, this was a wonderful balance of gentle cycling, culture, and great food — the perfect way to experience northern France!

Pablo the tour leader was friendly, helpful and informative also Luis the van bacK up driver was great and gave us super picnic lunches. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip with good company.

Our leader was Pablo Garcia. He was very knowledgeable, skilled and had lots of patience, excellent and timely information and always made sure our needs were met. Some of the accommodation was basic, but that was okay. Breakfasts were very varied and tasty with plenty of choices. We had a great group of cyclists and Pablo kept the team spirit going. The recommendations for meals were great and we had a lot of local food/ specialty options, which was great. The itinerary was good, riding through beautiful and vast landscapes with wild life such as flamingos and white horses, small medieval villages and beautiful canals, we would have expected and liked some more roads along the beautiful coast. There was a lot of riding through flat landscape with orchards and agriculture. The equipment was good, but some of the bikes had some gear and shifting issues. The support van driver Louis, made awesome picnic lunches with fresh local foods. All in all a great trip!
