We traveled as a couple on this tour. The fact that we knew no one was not an issue as the tour guide and crew made it a very welcoming and inclusive experience. Our tour guide was an amazing person. She was a lot of fun. She had researched her area and was extremely knowledgeable. She made everything engaging and her instructions were always clear. She was Italian and her French and English was great, so her skills as an interpreter were excellent. The boat staff were always helpful and friendly. The food was plentiful and of a good quality. When feedback was given about the need for salad it was taken on board immediately. The bikes were well maintained and great to ride. Equipment generally was very well organised. Our cabin was a double, which was tight but… it’s a boat. The living area upstairs was lovely so that compensated more than adequately. The itinerary was an excellent one. Our trip was from Avignon to Agues Morte. It seems this is the best option, it certainly worked well for us. I would thoroughly recommend this company to others.

Hi John, Thank you for your wonderful feedback on our tour! We're delighted to hear you felt welcomed and included. Our guide's knowledge and language skills, along with the friendly boat staff and delicious food, made for a memorable experience. We appreciate your observation about the salad, and we're glad our prompt response met your expectations. It's fantastic that you enjoyed the well-maintained bikes, organized equipment, and the lovely upper deck. While we understand the cabin size may have been tight, we're pleased that the spacious living area compensated adequately. We're grateful for your recommendation and hope to welcome you back on board in the future. Warm regards, Romy

My wife and I had a wonderful week. Hugo the guide was exceptional. He had tremendous knowledge of the area weaving through small towns and vineyards. Added to this was his grasp of the historic background of the towns, castles, roman ruins, other sites we visited coupled with his knowledge of the historical figures. The food on the boat met all of our expectations, it was simply very good. This was a winner. (One additional note. There are a few relative short steep climbs on multiple days. The literature should encourage casual riders to consider an e bike to make these climbs easier.)

Great experience. Excellent guide and choice of cycling route. Accommodation on boat was good, but as expected a little cramped in the bedroom, and the bathroom was tiny and needed some attention (but not serious). Meals on the boat were very good, and the lounge and eating area were ample and relaxing. Cycling routes were easy except for going over Les Alpilles, but it was worth it.

Excellent guide, well organised set-up, Generous meals and responsive to guest feedback. Our most positive memories are of the cycling through the roads of country France, enjoying the spring flowers and weather.

I enjoyed the cycling, and the dinners were terrific. But the rooms weren‘t clean, and apart from leading the biking, the guide didn‘t offer much by way of introducing us to the region or specific towns. It was rather perfunctory.

The food was excellent and the chef should be commended. The boat was very clean, but our room 4 had a sewer smell to it. Air conditioning was a bonus. The biking route was good the last 3 days, but relatively boring the first 3 days. Our guide was nice, but he did not provide much information at our stops in small towns along our route. It would be nice if the guide would give us the historical significance of each place we stopped for coffee, lunch, etc. He also let the group spread out way too much, which is a dangerous situation, and a problem if he is needed like for a flat tire or a chain off. The staff on the boat were excellent and was obvious that they enjoyed their jobs. We enjoyed the sailing part, which was relaxing after a long bike ride. Thank you for the opportunity to review this trip

This proved to be a very well organized, but at the same time, relaxed tour, perfect for a very enjoyable vacation. It involved a surfeit of beautiful scenery linked with interesting historical sites. This, coupled with a terrific tour guide and boat staff, makes this a tour highly recommended for all.
