“ Un rêve devenu réalité! ”

Claude
Je rêvais depuis longtemps de faire un voyage à vélo en Europe (je suis du Canada).
Comme je voyage seul, le vélo voyageur représentait la solution idéale avec son service de bagages, des parcours biens définis et aide sur la route.
Une semaine en Provence avec des paysages à rêver!
Merci pour les merveilleux souvenirs!
“ Really fun and beautiful trip ”
On the 2024-06-03

Jon
Destinations were well chosen; hotels (3 star) were really nice. The scenery the first couple of days was beautifully Provencal, and the towns small and pleasant. In the Camargue the flamingos were the main attraction, at least for us. Aigues Mortes, while touristy, is a scenic town surrounded by imposing medieval walls. We arranged to stop there instead of going to Nimes; the company graciously picked up our bikes in Aigues Mortes. Though most of the roads were rural and uncrowded, a few were quite busy (my reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5).

Très belle expérience. Produit/communication bien rodés sur tous les points. Excellent choix d'hébergement. La nuit supplémentaire à Saintes-Maries permet de s'imprégner un peu plus de la Camargue.
Entreprise fortement recommandée.
“ Provence/Camargue cycle tour ”

Tim
The trip was well organised and went completely to plan. There was a large variety of beautiful countryside and interesting sights. Most of the route was cycle tracks and quiet roads. The app was easy to use and accurate. We chose the economy level of accommodation and every hotel was clean and comfortable. Very satisfied with the trip.

Une nouvelle très belle expérience avec le Vélo Voyageur. Magnifique parcours qui fait découvrir de très beaux paysages loin des sentiers battus, excellente organisation comme toujours, hôtels choisis avec soin en fonction de nos critères. Une application GPS de guidage très simple d'utilisation, très précise, avec de bons conseils de restaurants.

Used French based company for the first time for a cycling holiday. Proved straightforward and any queries were dealt with pleasantly and professionally. Route maps and hotels were good and the distances were just right for us. Wayside hotels,restaurants and shops were good.
We found the bikes too heavy and needed some tweaking which fortunately , we were able to do ourselves.

Un voyage dépaysant, MERCI.
Nous testons pour la deuxieme fois le vélo voyageur, et sommes toujours ravis de l'expérience.
Dépaysement total, retour aux vacances "nature" avec découverte d'un patrimoine françias qu'on a tendance à oublier... et qui est extraordinaire.
Les itinéraires sont très bien pensés, avec des options pour les plus grandes ballades ( avec possibilité de faire un circuit plus court) Nous vous conseillons de tenter l'option grand circuit en camargues, qui nous a permis de nous déconnecter totalement et nous ressourcer : taureaux, chevaux, et flamands roses étaient nos compagnons le long de ce voyage.
Vélos électriques de très bonne qualité. Assistance et guide par le GPS avec commentaires sur les villages et activités à faire, informations touristiques très utiles et ludiques.
Nous avons eu le luxe de dormir dans des hôtels très confortables avec piscine et spa pour la plupart.
Nous avons hâte de repartir!
“ Superbe seconde expérience ”

Pour la seconde fois, nous avons fait appel aux services du Vélo Voyageur. Initialement prévu en avril, notre voyage a été reporté en raison de la crise du Covid 19. Nous avons obtenu un code promo et il a été très simple de récupérer l'acompte versé. Nous avons convaincu un couple d'amis de nous accompagner. Le tour d'Avignon à Nîmes en passant par la Camargue est vraiment à conseiller ! Le parcours est varié et les étapes sont soigneusement sélectionnées pour profiter de la nature, des plus belles villes dans des hôtels très chaleureux et tous climatisés. Au départ de Sainte Marie de la mer, ne pas hésiter à faire le grand tour et si nécessaire rebrousser chemin. Le tour de 18 km n'a que peu d'intérêt.
Parcours très accessible ! Superbe seconde expérience et certainement pas la dernière.

Très beau parcours en vélo à travers lequel nous avons pu découvrir la Camargue, les baux de Provence avec son magnifique paysage et pleins d'autres endroit très beau à voir.
Nous avons passé de très belles vacances.
P.S : nous recommandons le vélo électrique notamment pour les baux de Provence e si vus avez le vent à contre sens :)

very good organisation, level of the accommodations excellent, overall better than comparison companies.
most of the tour was in normal roads, better to balance adding more travel on bike paths
contacts of the office in weekend hours not very well communicated
Forgot about the booked pick up Nimes-Avignon at the end of the tour, causing quite a significant discomfort
