Provence Tours in October 2025

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.

We very much enjoyed our Highlights of Provence by Bike self guided bike tour. The Guibo app was pretty good to use. Our bikes & equipment supplied (panniers, tool kit, hi viz vest & handlebar phone holder) were all very good. The company was easy to contact when required. Our luggage was transported safely. We appreciated greatly being able to extend our trip by choosing to stop overnight at Les Baux, which was a highlight of our trip.

A great trip with an excellent tour guide, Weronika who is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Our man in the van, Lluis, also enhanced the experience with a series of picnics through the week. The tour struck a good balance between cycling and sight seeing. The accommodation was good quality and the travel logistics worked well.

We thoroughly enjoyed our bike riding trip! We opted for e-bikes which was great for us given that we weren't both regular bike riders. The itinerary of each day was very flexible, giving you the chance to have a late or early start with still plenty of time in the day to enjoy the village for your overnight stay. We often opted for an early start, arriving around lunchtime at our destination. We particularly loved the two-night stay (with a rest day) at Saint Remy de Provence. It gave us more time for some sight seeing and enjoying the bigger village. The GPS navigation was also super easy to follow and as English-speakers, we didn't find any issues making our way around. We would highly recommend this experience to others looking to 'get off the beaten track' and explore some hidden gems in the Provence region.

This tour was fantastic. I am now in love with Provence: the towns, the Roman ruins, the Van Gogh connection. Erwin Verhagen is an extraordinary tour leader. He tweaked the itinerary in a way that added many many great experiences that we would have otherwise missed. He took great care of each of us, and found us fine places to eat. One of the destinations, Gordes, featured a climb I didn't think I could handle. He went out of his way to rent e-bikes for me and two others that day, making it possible for us to enjoy that amazing town. His knowledge of the area added a lot to the tour for me. I'd tour with him anywhere!

Weronica was great. Very informative, full of positive energy, and kept us from getting lost. Lluis was an amazing support person. His picnics were fabulous, and he was a great cheerleader for each of us.
