I booked this on a last minute trip to Aix en Provence because I love biking. I didn't read the tour description carefully so each step of the way was a PLEASANT and AMAZING surprise! I'm still marveling that one experience can seamlessly weave together biking in a fragrant pine forest, impressionist art history, learning about Aix, great stories, magnificent scenery, a charismatic guide. You will not have a boring time with Vincent! I've taken a lot of bike tours and this one was a standout. So unique and marvelous how biking and Cézanne blended together.
This trip was a charm with the guide, Vincent, giving us even more than expected. It's a gorgeous terrain full of surprises, like the red rocks and the reservoir. We started in the fields and picked wild rosemary, thyme. Even a few sprigs of lavender were found. With just two of us on this tour, Vincent gave us the royal treatment. It was special to be in Cezanne country
Vincent is able to craft the experience to the rider(s) and produce a wonderful experience. If you want to know the history of an area, Vincent can talk to you about it. If you want to grind out a ride as fast and hard as possible, Vincent can do it. If you want to leisurely explore the area on e-mtb, well I think you get the idea. What you should really take away from the experience is that you should not hesitate to sign up and enjoy. We will be back in the area as soon as we can and will again reach out to him.
The guide, Vincent, was very thoughtful in preparing us at the beginning and was very patient with the group. The bikes were super and very trail worthy. The value was truly amazing in that we were on the tour for close to 4 hours with a diversity of terrain from single track to some roads. The views of the mountains and a beautiful lake were amazing. We felt safe the whole time and Vincent was very nice and welcoming with the patience to alternate between French and English explanations.
I had a glorious experience with Vincent. He explained the history, geology and ruins along the way. We went all the way to Saint - Victoire and saw the sunset before we returned. It was a long journey -which I loved- and I felt energized and fulfilled not exhausted. Very good trip.
Excellent experience! Our guide Vincent was terrific. He ensured our safety while also making sure we were challenged at a level that met the needs of the entire group which ranged from 11 and 14 year old boys who liked to go fast and a 55 year old who biked more carefully. It was a very hot day but we took breaks in the shade and found places to refill water so it was enjoyable. Note: you should have some experience biking to take this tour.
This was an excellent tour. Vincent was a great guide - he took additional care to make sure we were comfortable on the bikes and safely guided us. He was an informed and engaging guide. This tour will take you to the beautiful countryside, which is otherwise inaccessible except by bike and was the top event of our holiday
Amazing trip. So close to the city, and yet you’re immediately in nature. Can absolutely understand the paintings inspired by the mountains.
Best bike tour!! Vincent is so knowledgeable and passionate about the countryside. He makes the experience unique to his group. This is so worthwhile. Highly recommend. Margie S
