    Both my husband and I loved this bike tour! This was the first one we have done, and it exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide Erwin was amazing, very knowledgeable & accommodating and did a tremendous job! The tour itself was absolutely incredible, with village after village of beautiful rolling landscape of the Provence region. The highlight of the trip was our bike to Gordes, with breathtaking views of the village! The only recommendation I have is unless you’re an avid biker, I highly recommend an e-bike option! I am a fairly fit individual, but having the e-bike was a huge help and absolutely made the trip much more enjoyable.

    Erwin made the trip. We were in a lovely region of France with a lot of history, good food and good wine. While we had to deal with the winds on certain days, the trip was excellent.

    We had a great time and Erwin (sp?) was a great guide and very helpful and organized. The Mistral winds were a challenge early on but eventually died down.

    Views are always a highlight for me! So Gordes and other places that we got to see from high above were always so much fun. I also love the places with a history I cand other places that we got to see from high above were always so much fun. I also love the places with a history I can relate to like the history of an artist (like Van Gogh). That was very special!
