Most awesome crew of Carlos (bike guide), Fillipo , barge captain, Sara, most fabulous chef, and Michela (spelling?) who was new , but super at his job. He was friendly, made great juice drinks, and has great smile! Only suggestion that several of us had was to rate the biking as Level 2 and half, instead of Level 1. Biking thru towns was challenging, (but Carlos was of great help), downhill on gravel roads was not always easy, and the one day with an elevation. I tried an E-bike for first time, and appreciated that you had extras on board. Had gotten muscle cramps, probably from travel delays and temps in mid 90’s (I prefer heat to cold, so was fine), and my upper legs were sore from those nasty, painful quad muscle cramps, thus the main reason for E-bike. Your regular bikes were more comfortable for my being 5’1”, just FYI. Overall, a wonderful experience! Also wanted to compliment Carlos for arranging awesome tours in the towns and for his flexibility on the last day. 3 bikers did the regular route, and he guided the rest of us to the Mediterranean Sea and a smaller group to an interesting winery, with gracious hosts. He was sensitive to what we wanted, spoke great English and other languages, loved his job and I can’t say enough great things about him. Another negative for us US folks (and certainly not your fault) were airline difficulties. We arrived in France a day late and long day of waiting for trains, etc. Maybe contributed to my dehydration, thus muscle cramps. That’s all! Cheers to a trip well planned!
