Customer testimonials

Hi Andrea,

Many thanks for organizing 2 fabulous cycle holidays for us – it is really the ideal way to travel for us – enough exercise in a day & a slow enough pace to see everything.

Feedback for the 2nd trip as follows:

Hotels were all excellent & in good locations.

We did enjoy Bergerac! The trips along the backroads through vineyards & orchards were superb, and likewise enjoyed the cycleway along the Dordogne from Bergerac.

The amount of cycling per day is very doable on an EV & could be more.
We didn’t do either of the extension options as it was raining on the way to & from Sarlat. We enjoyed Monbazillac winery, we’ll worth the side trip.

The ap is invaluable & I wouldn’t want to do the trips without it.

Many thanks,

Prue & Stuart King – September 2023

Dear Stéphane

Thank you for your mail and I appreciate your kind message.

I have no hesitation in sharing my feedback with you. Our experience was truly remarkable, thanks to the exceptional hospitality we received from all our hosts, including the welcoming cab driver at the airport. We thoroughly enjoyed every moment on our walking tour of the Bordeaux vineyards. The picturesque countryside landscapes, the delicious cuisine, the exquisite wine and the leisurely walks all added to the charm of our trip.

We would also like to commend your prompt and clear communication throughout the booking process and leading up to the trip. It instilled confidence and made the entire experience stress-free.

After a particularly stressful year for us, this holiday allowed us to unwind and rejuvenate completely. We have absolutely no reservations about recommending Evazio and this exceptional holiday to our friends and family. Bordeaux is a remarkable destination and your organization allowed us to explore it in the best way possible.

Thank you once again for a fantastic experience and please convey my appreciation to your entire team.

Anne-Marie Cooke – August / September 2023

Hello Mr Fritsch,

We were all delighted with our stay on the banks of the Charente!

We appreciated the quality of the bikes and their equipment, the organization of luggage transport, the charm and comfort of the accommodation…

In short, a wonderful experience to be repeated one of these days…

Yours sincerely

Thomas Renck – August 2023

Hello,

We are very satisfied with this beautiful route, with well-sized stages, top-quality hotels, rooms with a view, and 2 half-board meals that lived up to our expectations.

Our stay went very well. We discovered the Lot region with great interest.

We thank you and are interested in receiving information about other stays.

Yours sincerely

Brigitte LE BRET – September 2023

Everything went very well. With a little less rain and wind, it would have been perfect, but I don’t think this “option” is Evazio’s responsibility.

The paper guide had a few “inaccuracies” between Chateauvaillon and La Rochelle, but by connecting to the app, we found our way back easily.
The notebook format is really practical.

The welcome at the hotels was perfect, especially when we specified that we were with Evazio.

Thank you for your service and see you next year!

Stéphane MARCINAK – July 2023

Dear Andréa,

Thankyou for the email.

I have been intending to email to thank both Stéphane and you for organising two wonderful bike tours!

Your organisation was exceptional!

The hotels were of a very good standard throughout with the Hôtel in MONPAZIER exceptional!

I would like to thank Stéphane especially for his kindness and support when my wife had difficulties after the first riding day from Agen to Villeneuve sur Lot. It was very hot and many more steep climbs than we expected. Isabelle at the Hotel was so warm and caring of Lesley!

We appreciated the gpx files taking us to the door of the next hotel on this ride!

The tour of the Loire Valley was wondering! The route really well thought out.

Finally I would like to thank you both very much for two very enjoyable rides!

All the best

Brian & Lesley Thompson – September 2023

Hello Andréa,

We had a great time during our week exploring the beautiful Lot Valley.

Even if the outward journey is harder on the calves, it’s imperative to finish this walk at Saint Cirq Lapopie, which was the pinnacle for us.

Bravo also for the accommodation and meals booked.

This was our 3rd stay with Evazio and we have no regrets!

Yours sincerely

Mr Savry – September 2023

It was a great trip. Good communication before the trip. The bikes were fabulous with good battery life.
The accomodation generally was good. The instructions and the route were great.

A great holiday and I would recommend your company.

With thanks

Wendy Fleming – September 2023

Many thanks for organizing our tour along the Canal de Garonne. We both enjoyed the trip very much.

The bicycles and equipment you provided were ideal and collection and delivery of our luggage was efficient and without problems.

All the accommodations you booked for us were super – and we must make a special commendation in Camiran, which was especially welcoming.

Thanks once again for arranging everything and I would happily recommend your services.

Thank you

Nick Arnold – September 2023

Overall we enjoyed the holiday. The main points are:

The staff at Evazio were very helpful at the booking and pre-departure stages, giving us very clear information, answering questions and providing directions from airport etc.

We stayed extra days in Arcachon and Bordeaux and our accommodation was booked for us by Evazio, which was very helpful.

The hotel rooms were clean and comfortable. Vitalpark was exceptional, as the room was more spacious, and there was a lovely swimming pool.

Breakfast at all hotels was excellent – varied, fresh and generous.

We found the bikes heavy, especially on an off-road route. However, they were comfortable to ride and in good condition.

Cynthia, Gabriel and Neil – May 2023

We are back in the US after a wonderful time in France. We so enjoyed the self guided bike trip. The bikes were top notch which we really appreciated, and the RoadBook app was amazingly helpful!

We had a lovely time and will certainly keep you in mind when we take our next bike trip!

Laurie Davis – May 2023

– overall we were extremely pleased with our break

– the bikes and equipment were in general of excellent condition and of high quality

– the hotels were all of good quality and it was just as well we had made reservations every evening for dinner, you did well to emphasise this

– Hotel Beausejour (Colmar) has no restaurant and the other three hotels were a good 15 to 20 minutes walk from any restaurants

Overall, and just to repeat, we were extremely pleased with the break, the organisation and the equipment and we’d not hesitate to recommend it to anyone – so thank you to you and your colleagues!

Ian Sharp – July 2023

Hello Stephane

Thank you for your email and we are very happy to give you feedback.

• Firstly just to say that we had a fantastic holiday – a really enjoyable time – thank you for making it all possible
• The route took us to big cities, small villages, the seaside, and rural countryside so we saw and did many varied things
• Both bikes were delivered in excellent condition and appeared to be just about new
• I loved my e-bike and thank you for providing the Trek I asked for. It was very comfortable and even after 80km I had no discomfort with the saddle or my hands/arms/neck which I sometimes experience
• Obviously the e-bike was very heavy – it was an extra small but still more than ½ my body weight. I am used to this when hiring e-bikes and I know that the Bosch system is very good
• Suitcases were transported very efficiently. Only once did we arrive before our suitcases and they arrived soon after
• We did the Passage du Gois which was fantastic. Fortunately the low tide was about 11 in the morning which was perfect
• We stayed 2 nights in St Gilles because it was ½ way but we found it was also a good place to spend an extra day – nice hotel and plenty of restaurants and things to see
• The 2 nights in La Rochelle and a trip to Ile de Re was worth doing. Hotel Nicolas was in a great location and very comfortable

With Regards

Michael and Trudy Knowles – June/July 2023

We really enjoyed our stay and everything went perfectly.

The region is magnificent, and the organization and roadbook are superb!

The choice of accommodation is very, very good, and we met some superb people! If we had to be picky, the bedding in Margaux’s pavilion was the least good.

The catering included in the trip was always gourmet and tasty, and we enjoyed it immensely.

We have nothing to complain about with the bikes: we’ve had no problems whatsoever, and the equipment is really top quality. The bikes were very well presented to us!

All in all, we had such a great time that we’d love to go back for another project, so thank you!

Stéphanie Chauveau and Thomas Hennebo – April 2023

We are back in the US after a wonderful time in France. We so enjoyed the self guided bike trip. The bikes were top notch which we really appreciated, and the RoadBook app was amazingly helpful!

We had a lovely time and will certainly keep you in mind when we take our next bike trip!

Laurie Davis – May 2023

Hello

We had a wonderful week and everything was very well organized.

The hotels were always well placed and the bikes very good … no punctures …

The roadbook that accompanies the GPS is very well done.

What’s more, the weather was magnificent!

Thanks again for this top-notch organization

Sincerely

Catherine Guerin – June 2023

We have had the most fabulous trip from Bordeaux to Biarritz- thank you so much.

The bikes were great & mostly the accommodation excellent, we especially loved the Hotel in Moliets – right on the beach & very friendly, helpful staff & good restaurant.

The Ap was excellent for showing us the way.

For our next trip can you please make sure one of the bikes has the holder for the phone on it as that was fabulous for keeping us on track.

Many thanks for your efficient organisation,

Kind regards,

Prue and Stuart King – September 2023

Good evening, Mr Fritsch,

We had an excellent cycling holiday, with good weather to boot.

Everything went really well.

Luggage still at the hotel when we arrived.

The person who took us from La Tranche-sur-Mer to Nantes was right on time and, what’s more, friendly.

The hotels were comfortable.

We will not hesitate to call on your services again and recommend you when friends want to try the experience (we left a review on the Google link).

Yours sincerely

Martine and Philippe Van Eeckhout – June 2023

Supported bike trip from Bordeaux to Biarritz. Three of us did this bike tour. First of all I would like to complement all of those people that we interacted with. They were helpful with timely responses to our inquires.
The bikes were new and were comfortable and well behaved. The trip was 90% on dedicated bike paths lots through forested coastal areas. The distances allowed us ample time to explore our destinations and swim in the Atlantic.
The accommodations were excellent. The bags were moved timely. Would highly recommend this trip for couples even if they have had limited biking experience. The route is mostly level and by being on dedicated bike roads is very safe. The paved biking paths are well marked and maintained. The GPS system works great and is very helpful.

All the best

Michael Spalding- September 2023

Hello Mr Fritsch,

We are very satisfied with our stay in Brittany. The driver (also a bike instructor) from Rennes to Lannion was punctual and available for all our requests, so that our tour got off to a good start despite a little light rain, which didn’t last long.

The transport of our luggage was perfect.

The tour was interesting and varied, the description clear and the GPS program very functional.

Thanks again for your help and best regards.

C. and A. Osterwalder – June/July 2023

Dear Andrea,

Thank you so much for organizing such an amazing trip for us. The roads we traveled were stunning and so picturesque. The places we stayed were comfortable, beautiful, and the hosts were friendly and generous.

We all had such an amazing time and appreciated the time and thought that went into organizing everything. It was a trip of a lifetime and one we will never forget!

All the best to you!!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you,

Erica and Jesse – September 2023

We were delighted with our stay: EVAZIO’s organization, advice and quality of service were impeccable; the routes were top-notch, and the bikes were of excellent quality.

This was our^1st cycling trip, and we really enjoyed it: we may do it again, but we’d definitely recommend it!

Thank you

D. Plissonneau – July 2023

We had a very pleasant stay in the Loire Valley. Everything went smoothly and the organization was perfect. However, the weather was a bit temperamental and we had to swap two days in the program without any consequences for the organization.

We would like to thank you for this wonderful stay and we will not hesitate to recommend your agency in the future.

Yours sincerely

Romain PIERRAT – July 2023

Dear Stephane

Indeed we had an amazing holiday and enjoyed our time at the coast. The highlights included: the bicycles that were very comfy and rolled very easily; the hotels which were practical and well chosen by your agency; the seamless organization of logistics, bag transport, documentation, etc;
then a few things you can’t take credit for, but we still enjoyed very much 😉 : the shady cycling roads, the fantastic weather, the daily portion of oysters and rosé, the summer concerts at Archachon, the beach day at Mimizan, and much more

We would like to thank you very much for your services and will recommend you further.

Kind regards

Mr and Mrs Rüegg – August 2023

Hello ,

Overall very satisfied, quality and relaxing accommodation.

Best regards,

Marion FICAT – June 2022

Hello Mr Fritsch

Our cycling trip along the Canal du Midi was simply brilliant! It must be said that the weather was particularly good!

Superb scenery, well-marked and efficient GPX itineraries, well-chosen hotels both for their location and quality of service, and the icing on the cake, restaurants/meals that rivalled each other in originality and quality of product.

Here’s a nice summary of one of the best vacations we’ve ever had.

All in all, a great trip/stay and discovery of your country from a lovely angle, which was the canal and its majestic plane trees!

We’ve been won over!

Sincerely and thank you for the impeccable service.

Geneviève DEBENS and Jacques MARIN – June 2022

Hello Mr Fritsch,

This was my fourth cycling trip with Evazio and, as always, the organization was top-notch. Magnificent stages between Nantes and La Rochelle under a blazing sun. Good to very good hotels on arrival, most of them by the sea. A unique experience, as always. Thanks Evazio

Madame Denervaud – June 2022

Hello

We really enjoyed our experience with you.

It was great

Luckily, I took the option of a bike, which kept the whole family smiling. We were very lucky to get through the beautiful trails without too much trouble, despite the already established traffic lights.

Good luck with this complicated season

See you soon

Sophie Merlin – July 2022

Hello Mr Fritsch,

Thank you for organizing our stay. Everything was great, especially the choice of hotels.

The routes, the logbook, the bikes and the pick-up were also perfect.

The Pink Granite Coast is very beautiful and we were amazed. We particularly enjoyed cycling it by muscle power!

Yours sincerely

Olivier Chofflon – July 2022

Hello

The Agen / Sarlat trip went very well, admittedly in the heat, but nothing insurmountable with the right number of water bottles.

THE TRAIL :

Some nice climbs on all segments, rather short but quite dry. A minimum level of fitness is required if you don’t have a VAE.

The first 2 days in the Lot are rather rural and very pleasant, with plenty of opportunities to stop off.

The final stretch in the Dordogne is undoubtedly the most beautiful and shady. Of course, the Dordogne valley remains the highlight of the trip.

THE HALTS:

Agen: very functional hotel, top-notch welcome, don’t hesitate to book the restaurant in advance as there aren’t many places to eat in Agen, especially on a Saturday evening.

Villeneuve sur Lot / Monpazier: very, very pleasant; excellent amenities, a real favorite. A must-have.

Sarlat: clean, functional hotel and welcome pool.

So much for a few comments on the stay; we were delighted and will certainly be re-planning a tour soon.

Sincerely

Mr Naessens – July 2022
