Val de Loire Tours and Trips

Loved this place, especially the amazing French food we had for lunch in such pretty spots. This was our 6th cycling trip with Exodus, the local tour guides have all been awesome, very helpful and knowledgeable.

Our trip was very well organized and the routes were clear and easy to follow using the app. All the accommodations were good and our luggage was always where we needed it to be. We loved the scenery and were able to visit many chateaus and other fascinating sights as we rode through the Loire Valley.

We were happy with the choice of historic towns and the characterful hotels. Our luggage was transported efficiently. One of our bikes required some attention, which hampered its rider until picked up and taken to a bike shop where the staff assisted by phone.

We appreciated the detail to attention to our personal requirements including : bike type / both electronic and hard copy maps and information of our planned daily ventures / details of our upgraded hotels / the smooth transportation of our luggage each day / even the administration back up when we had a bike mechanical breakdown. Overall a very slick operation for which we would gladly recommend to others .

Blessed with good weather, we very much enjoyed our Loire Valley cycling tour. It wasn't until day 3 that we mastered the App. From then on we found it invaluable. The vast majority of the trip was on quiet roads or cycle paths - very few hills. Other than the cycling through some great scenery, highlights were the chateaux at Cheverny and Chenonceau, and the hotel at Chitenay.

The entire trip was easy enough on an ebike. A few gravel tracks were challenging but that was all part of it! I paid for accommodation upgrade and it was so worth it.. with the exception of the first and last night the places we stayed at were charming and comfortable. The first and last night's were at The Mercure, which was all of the above but it just didn't have the charm and history that resonated with the other hotels.
