We are a family of three - mom, dad, 10-year-old son, and we had an AMAZING bicycling adventure with Discover France. We loved the self-guided aspect -- all of our needs were well taken care of (bags transported, lodging arranged, routes planned), but we had the freedom to ride at our own pace, with our own diversions, just as a family. The Loire area couldn't be more scenic and charming; the trails were nearly empty even in high tourist season; our lodging was simple but very comfortable with friendly inn keepers and great locations; the routes that DF put together for us were incredible -- small, untraveled by the masses, and beautiful. We are still reliving the trip several weeks later, and we would whole-heartedly recommend Discover France's Loire Valley multi sport trip. (By the way, both son and dad had a blast at the zip line adventure park. I found it a little bit scary, but am glad I tried at least one ropes course up in the trees. It's an experience my son will never forget, and was a great reward for his many kilometers of riding.)Show more

The self-guided multisport tour in the Loire was an absolutely awesome experience. The route was an easy undulating ride through vineyards and rural country. There were amazing medieval villages and chateaux to explore all along the way, yet total freedom to just stop and savour the local life, food, and meet great people. I booked online and everything was ready to go when I got off the train at the starting point. It was so well and smoothly organised, from the choice and booking of accommodation (great quality BnBs), to the orientation, to the luggage transfer each day. The bike and equipment were all in good working order. I did the tour solo and I really felt there was nothing to worry about each day other than to just get on the bike and go!Show more
