This was our second tour with Erwin as our leader. Erwin has planned an excellent itinerary with the 4 nights in Avignon and 3 nights in Pernes-les-Fontaines. Each ride was different and the destinations were stunning. Even the stops on the way were stunning. Erwin really cares about how everyone is doing. His patience is a wonder to behold. Lots of laughs and lots of great memories.
