This was my first bike and barge and I am a soli female traveller. Everything about this trip was beyond my expectations. The barge was very comfortable and everyone from the captain to the cleaner made us feel at home fromnthe minute we stepped on board. The food was top class, the bikes comfortable and well maintained, the tour leader friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I can not recommend the Fleur and her crew enough and I would jump on again for a trip in a heartbeat.
