We have enjoyed a self guided bike trip inProvence, from Vaison la Romaine to Ste Marie du Mer. Overall the trip was excellent.
The carbon road bikes ( Cannondale synapse) were great, well fit and well tuned. We had one flat the last day , not bad for 650 kmcombined! We chose simple level accommodation- quality was variable some perfect, some 2/5 substandard. When I commented on the poor place I was met with you should have chosen higher level . Disappointing response.
The written direction booklets were great- the Garmin maps did not concur at all,and often misled- very frustrating for the one who had gone to the trouble of buying a new specific sd card ...
The trip was well designed- the villages chosen were fabulous, each unique and full of character.
Overall very good trip. I was surprised to have had no contact by the WalkInn staff on arrival or during the trip- no check into see how it was going, and lack of interest in the poorer quality accommodation.
However everything very ran well, the luggage always arrived,and on time. The bikes were delivered and picked up on time . The staff at the BnBs were excellent, friendly and accommodating.
