- VBvivian· June 9th, 2025The trip was excellent from start to finish. If I could change anything, it would’ve been to spend more time in beautiful areas like Gordes. However, the trip was wonderful and well organized.Show moreTrip date: May 2025
- TMThomas· June 8th, 2025If you enjoy cycling, DO NOT TAKE AN EXPLORE TRIP!! It is only novices on e-bikes. You must stop every 500 meters at a 12km per hour pace, and if at any time you attempt to go faster, the tour leader yells at you and threatens to terminate your ride!Show more

- AFAlison· November 14th, 2024Both my husband and I loved this bike tour! This was the first one we have done, and it exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide Erwin was amazing, very knowledgeable & accommodating and did a tremendous job! The tour itself was absolutely incredible, with village after village of beautiful rolling landscape of the Provence region. The highlight of the trip was our bike to Gordes, with breathtaking views of the village! The only recommendation I have is unless you’re an avid biker, I highly recommend an e-bike option! I am a fairly fit individual, but having the e-bike was a huge help and absolutely made the trip much more enjoyable.Show moreExplore! commented on this reviewThank you so much for your lovely review!
