Provence Tours in April 2026

I completed the Back roads of Provence April 14th, 2025. Working with the team was great. I added extra days on to my trip and they were able to help me with hotel and bike rental. The hotels that I stayed with were clean, friendly and centrally located to city central which made exploring easy. Negative was the bike did not come with mirrors. The route does utilize some very busy roads. I am a 63 yr female traveling alone. Not once did I feel unsafe. I will be booking another trip with them for next year.

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.
