We had a great time doing the Loire Valley - from Orléans to Atlantic Coast biking trip of 11 days.
Wonderful bike paths to ride and easy navigation on the app.
Cycle tour went like clockwork. The cycle route was great, APP pretty accurate and signage excellent. Our bags had arrived at our Hotels by the time we rode on.
Very smooth. Good bike, good hotels. 2-3 stars, but very nice. Couple of minor things - the app can be improved since it shows the route but does not guide to/from hotel to the route, just says 'you are too far from the route'. Had to use Google Maps. Second, a bit of extra info on country specfics would be useful - for instance, being from the US I did not expect everything to be closed - stores, restaurants in small cities with nothing even to get a coffee... :-)
We cycled 500kms down the Loire Valley from Orleans. Everything was organised beautifully. Our accommodation was comfortable and well placed. The bicycles were a dream to ride and we appreciated having the e-bikes on this trip. Highly recommend UTracks!
