Lots of fun! Very well run. Delicious food. Glad I was in good biking shape, although the e-bike made it easy. Very glad I brought a padded seat cover and my own shampoo/conditioner.

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!!!

Clever to schedule Paris tours on the weekend when there is less traffic. The long bus rides were nicely paced to include good rest stops and small villages to walk about. Happy to discover Lyon, Nice and Avignon.

The tour was even better than I've ever hoped for. The memories I made with my fellow travellers will be cherished for a very long time. Our tour guide, Steve was very informant and charming. Our driver, Antonio was very funny and charming as well. This has been a roller coaster of a trip and I wouldn't ask for more.
