Cycling in France - Loire Valley

A variety of sights to see from the bike on our excellently guided tour, including focus on different parts of the numerous chateaux we visited, plus the wine tastings, and boat ride. Great international group of fellow cyclists, with a mix of abilities including those on e-bikes. Nice breakfasts and ability to opt in / out of group evening meals too.

Very good trip. Great experience. Maybe bit more wine tasting. Tour leader was very good but suggest they shouldn’t be doing back to back tours for their own health and safety and to ensure they are fresh and energized with each group they lead.

The trip was better than I expected. The people were great. The itinerary was wonderful and our leader Erwin was very knowledgeable.

This was my first cycling tour and had a wonderful time. Our tour leader kept us appraised of traffic, road conditions and what to expect when approaching challenging or especially scenic portions of the ride. The pace was leisurely and everyone was able to keep up. Everyone hated to have to say goodbye at the end of the tour and we'll all cherish the memories of our shared experience.

This was our second cycling trip with Erwin, who is an excellent tour leader. The itinerary, with four chateau visits and a vineyard wine tasting and lunch included, was interesting and varied. There was also free time to visit the chateaux in Amboise and Blois independently once the day’s rides were finished. The rides were on excellent cycle paths or quiet roads. Erwin’s knowledge of the area and its history made the visits very interesting. We had a great time and would thoroughly recommend this trip.

Had a wonderful trip, Erwin is an amazing tour leader, professional, knowledgeable and fun!

This is an excellent trip with a very varied program- chateaux, wine tasting, making éclairs. There was always enough time to visit the chateaux and the highlight for me was the picnic at the vineyard- delicious food and wine. The leader was excellent being both informative and approachable. He was able to navigate the demands of all the group well. The cycling was brilliant of course. The rides were exactly as described unless improvements had been made
