France Solo Tours for Single Travelers

This is a nice and easy cycling trip (except for the optional day which involves a large hill) cycling along the Canal and also rides into the country. Distances are not too far. Hotel/accommodation locations are good. Lots of good food available so don’t expect to lose weight

A great itinerary we went to many countries there were a lot of early starts and long days so we could see it all. Some places we would have liked an extra night but we still had an amazing time

I enjoyed this trip very much. The itinerary was great and covered so much history but also had a great balance of other options of things to do. I would like to make a comment about the itinerary that is listed online with the day in Brussels. There was no option of the Waterloo visit or staying in Brussels and joining a chocolate class, which I was personally looking forward to. We had no time at all in Brussels for any kind of shopping for chocolates, lace or seeing the little boy peeing statue. All things I think of when thinking of Brussels. I loved the walking tour of the city center but the rest was disappointing.

There is a lot of walking. I did all of the optionals and found that some of them had more walking than I felt was described in the itinerary...

This tour was the perfect introduction to cycle touring in southern France, especially considering Erwin's sharing his extensive knowledge of European history just about every day. We've discovered we need to learn more, and then come back for similar tours in the years to come.

The itineraries were good - we enjoyed the variety of terrain: riverside, vineyards, agricultural fields, forests, and villages. The cycling was on dedicated bike paths or quiet country roads. The days went by quickly. Our hotels were charming and comfortable. Our only complaint was the unreliability of the Roadbook and how to be sure we were on the right path. As a result, a few times we ended up on busier roads which was very uncomfortable and no assistance from Roadbook to get back on track.
