Provence - Wilderness of Camargue

Hein was an absolutely amazing and interesting guide; the crew was fantastic. Special kudos to the chef (Geovani): best food by far of any of our 3 tripsite boat/bike trips so far. And we LOVED Alicia (our overall helper etc). So personable and friendly and wonderful that she shared her artwork with us! And a great group of fellow travellers/bikers to share this with. Just a fantastic trip!

Distances on the bikes were reasonable and allowed sufficient time to enjoy our surroundings.

The bike rides through the country were terrific. That was the reason for selecting this trip.
Although the food was well prepared, the selection of dishes was mediocre.
The staff were great and made the trip enjoyable. The guide was knowledgeable.

Fabulous trip on L'Estello. Food was the best so far on a Tripsite adventure. Hein, our guide was politically incorrect and was fabulous. Our group of 8, in our 60s and 70s rode city bikes. The other 10 in our group rode eBikes. We had no problem but unless you are a strong, confident rider, I'd recommend eBikes.

Chef Sara was fantastic!! The food was wonderful every single night. Our guide Giorgio was informative and fun, which made our rides very enjoyable.

We have taken other bike trips; however this experience was the most fun and memorable! Georgio our guide, his knowledge of the area was amazing. He packed in as much or less as our group wanted. His dry humor was really fun to be around. We miss him already! The food, amazing! Sara was our chef; the meals were perfect. The care she takes, and what she can put out in a 12 hour day is crazy. A fresh baked tart every morning, fruits, cheeses, meats, homemade granolas and yogurt. The deserts each night, were so....good! Sarita was the house manager. It being her first week, she did an outstanding job! The entire team acted as if they had been working together for years. We felt so lucky that we had such a great crew. Because it is a small group of 20 guests, you become friends fast. Each night a couple of guests would stand up and roast some of the other guests, it was so fun! We sang songs and played games after dinner every night. It was like summer camp for adults, a big sleep over. We will definitely be booking another trip!

This was an awesome bike/barge trip! The bike routes were interesting and beautiful. Our guide Helmut was excellent - keeping us safe while biking and giving us information on the places we visited. He was very patient and helpful. The bikes were well maintained and my E-bike was charged and ready to go all week.
The Caprice barge was clean and efficient. The rooms were small but have shelves and under the bed drawers that were great for organizing clothing etc.
The crew was wonderful and the food was delicious.
I really enjoyed this experience. Definitely will do a barge and bike tour again!

Everything was great from start to finish. Giorgio our guide was amazing. He was the only guide for the entire group. His techniques our having a “ corner” person to direct us when we made a turn out as well as a sweeper to be the last person to make sure that we were all together. Kept everyone safe and together. He was very humorous. He had lots of information and history of everywhere we went. He always had his eye out to make sure that we were happy we were content, and we were enjoying the trip. He took any information that we gave him in regard to our needs very seriously and did everything he could to make us happy and comfortable, and he succeeded beyond belief. The chef Sylvia had our elves watering from breakfast all the way through dessert. She always had a smile on her face saying while she cooked it was a true passion of hers, and it showed in the quality of the food as well as the presentation. Emma our steward took care of all of our needs again with a smile on her face. There wasn’t anything that was asked for that she did not deliver. This crew was absolutely amazing and they made the trip more than I could’ve expected.

Wonderful cycling among so many vineyards, orchards, and beautiful small towns. We particularly loved Avignon, wine tasting in Chateau Neuf du Pape, the beautiful Pont du Gard, a little Van Gogh in St. Remy and Arles, and the surprisingly attractive town of Aigues Mortes- no dead water there! Our favorite part was the ride was to Les Baux- made significantly easier by our decision to concede to age and use e-bikes. The boat is small and the cabins a bit cramped, but we weren't there to hang out indoors. The crew was excellent, particularly Micaela our guide and Alice the do everything steward. We had a great mix of shipmates, hailing from Canada, Australia, the UK, energetic Brazilians, and a few Americans. All together a great week!

Delicious French food!!Tour director was excellent and very attentive to the needs of the group . Crew was very understanding and very helpful. Bikes were in excellent conditions and enjoyed the electric bike. Back to food was the very best on other trips.

We traveled as a group of 6 adults on the L'Estello. Four of us are very experienced cyclists and have used Ride with GPS many times with 2 other companies. Since there is no van support on this trip we opted to do the group ride.
Unfortunately we had a large group of guests that were not familiar with proper bike edicate and that caused problems during the rides.
I would not choose another trip like this one.
We were

The beautiful scenery along the bike route was one of the highlights of this trip. We enjoyed pedaling through grapevine covered fields, seeing all the blooming red poppies, visiting the Monet exhibit in the old quarry, touring Arles, seeing the Pont du Gard, wine tasting and cruising into Avignon. The crew was great. And Michela our tour guide was truly one of the best we’ve ever had.

My husband & I booked this trip with 7 of our friends. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. My biggest fear was becoming motion sick by sleeping on the water. This never happened, nor did it when sailing. The L'Estello barge was excellent, as was her captain LUCI & crew: Michaela, Giovanni & Omar & Christina. The meals were very tasty & we enjoyed the opportunity to make daily lunches. The routes were excellent. A BIG shout out to Michaela who we felt was a superb rider leader and are so happy she was assigned to us. She is very knowledgeable and gave lots of information about the areas we rode through and even on our nightly "digestive" walks. The whole crew was very accommodating and seemed to anticipate our every need. The bikes were excellent which made each daily ride so enjoyable. The size of the cabins were very good and bigger than I thought they would be. The only negative was leaving Aigues-Mortes as transportation is limited leaving that town. That being said, Michaela worked her magic and secured taxis for all 9 of us who were leaving to different countries and had connections to meet.

The crew worked as a team. The meals were excellent, the appetizers were a pleasant and welcoming enlightenment to arrive back from a days bike riding and encounter beautifully prepared appies awaiting us.
Our ride leader Michaela (spelling?) a true high light. Kept our days light and fun filled .
The sites, scenery, & history was amazing.
