Fantastic tour!! Colin is a great guide, very flexible for the interests of the group (we did a detour to some Roman ruins) and knowledgeable about the area and its history. Some comfort with riding bikes is probably advisable (although not technical MTB riding). Very hilly in places but fine on e-bikes. A real highlight of our trip!
I loved the experience and Vincent was so delightful and kind but this tour is not for people who aren’t experienced mountain bikers. He was a great guide and had lots of little facts about St. Victoire. I did not realize going into the tour that it required so much knowledge of mountain bikes (it is 3 hours of switching gears, going through narrow paths, and riding over little bridges/water). We did not end up finishing the full tour, thankfully it was just us on the tour that day. The mountain is a little rocky and challenging and I was hesitant so we made the executive decision to turn back, we turned around after we went up about 1/3 of the way. It was beautiful nonetheless and if you can do it, I would highly recommend. If you’re used to bicycling on flat roads, beach cruisers and spin — this tour is not for you.
Another epic ride with Colin, a great guide. The e-bikes were so comfortable. The trail through the national park had spectacular vistas and scenery. Some steep hills to climb but the e-bikes were a huge help.
The bike trip is a must do . Colin was a great guide and made sure everyone knew how to handle the bikes in a safe way . Would recommend this trip for anyone planning to visit Aix . We walked to the pickup site the day before just to make sure we knew how to get there and how long it would take to get there from our lodging . I would recommend all to do so especially if you are going by car in that finding parking spot my be difficult . I would check with Colin beforehand if you plan to drive to the pickup location .
Excellent trip. Ezra was a superb host. The national park is simply stunning. Bikes were comfortable & in top condition. Highly recommended.
