Oh, fabulous France. The cycling routes were wonderful. Climbing up to villages on tops of hills was a delight. Screaming down hill to Lourmarin in the rain was also quite a memory! Pont du Gard - well what more can one say? Explored every inch of the great castle at Tarascon and looked for the monster hiding somewhere... Hotels were all specially located and at that time of year air conditioning made them all even better. Domaine de Cabasse was beautifully situated amongst the vineyards. Hotel du Poete in Fontaine de Vaucluse was so peaceful with the spring flowing by. Hotel Le Mas de Guilles was a gorgeous place we are planning on returning to in 2021 with our non-cycling family!

Great itinerary in a truly beautiful part of the world. Most memorable experience was climbing Mt. Ventoux. The Carrieres de Lumieres in Les Baux was also exceptional.

Dear all at EXP. Wow what a wonderful time we had this year on Provence Plus Oct!! The best guilds ever, outstanding weather, excellent program design, outstanding food and hotels, good bikes, and the best scenery in France. The routes you have designed could not be better. Time and time we would say that this back road was the best and up to the last day you would show us another even better one.

In ten years of active travel, with a variety of companies, this was among the best trips we have taken. We were simply stunned by Provence. And our tour leaders, being native Europeans, were superlative. Just the best. Period.

Fabulous, beautiful, fun, the best way to take a bike trip. The perfect combination of guidance and independence. The routes were well thought out - beautiful and interesting. My niece and I are vegans and our guides made sure the meals were perfectly done for our needs and had extra food available if we needed it. The bicycles were great and the guides very attentive to their daily care. The pre-assistance I received was very helpful as well.

I have done over 20 cycling tours in Europe with 5 different touring companies .... they were all good, but this was one of the best .... the routes, the arrows so each could cycle at their own pace, and the guides were all excellent.

I have described it as the best cycling trip I have taken. I have recommended the trip to everyone as a must do. One reason I like tours is so that someone else can do the planning and events in a country with which I am not familiar. This trip was well planned and executed. You are the experts!

What was your favorite experience on this trip?
There were many memorable moments and experiences - pehaps my birthday picnic beside the river looking up at the Pont du Gard - and then cycling across it - was a favourite. I also enjoyed the many interactions with French folks along the way who were good humoured and patient with my fractured French.

What was your favorite experience on this trip?
The hilltop towns of the Luberon and the variety the routes provided day to day. At times it felt as if we were riding in a totally different country from day to day.
