The wineries were spectacular as expected. Wine tasting was great, especially the one in the small wine store in the village.”

Cycle from Paris through Normandy to Monet’s Giverny gardens, shop Vernon’s market, picnic by the Seine, and enjoy expert guiding.
“I thoroughly enjoyed this day trip, and there was just the right number in our group. Our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and easy to travel with. The stop in Giverny village was lovely and just long enough to grab some food for our lunch, which we had on the banks of the river. The cycling was just long enough for me and pretty flat - a nice way to get to Monet's gardens and house. We had plenty of time there before heading back into Paris on the train. I'd definitely recommend this :)”

“Mel was fantastic - wonderful spirit and great attitude - we spent the morning biking through the vineyards, had a wonderful picnic lunch at the chateau Cloisir and then cycled to St - Emillion and wandered around there and took a tour and wine tasting. I would have loved to have done a couple of tastings at the chateaus we cycled past in the am, but I understand the liability. I highly recommend this tour if you enjoy leisurely cycling, good wine, food and history!”
Cycle from Thésée to Chenonceau on an e-bike, stopping for Roman history, troglodyte caves, local cheese, wine, and a château-view picnic.

The e-bikes were great, the wine tour and tasting was brilliant and lunch was excellent as well. Can’t say enough about this tour. Do it, well worth the time and the money. Thanks Michael, you made our trip to Bordeaux all the more special.”
