We loved the self-guided aspect -- all of our needs were well taken care of, but we had the freedom to ride at our own pace.

The self-guided multisport tour in the Loire was an absolutely awesome experience. The route was an easy undulating ride through vineyards and rural country. There were amazing medieval villages and chateaux to explore all along the way, yet total freedom to just stop and savour the local life, food, and meet great people. I booked online and everything was ready to go when I got off the train at the starting point. It was so well and smoothly organised, from the choice and booking of accommodation (great quality BnBs), to the orientation, to the luggage transfer each day. The bike and equipment were all in good working order. I did the tour solo and I really felt there was nothing to worry about each day other than to just get on the bike and go!
