Dear Andrea,

I am more than happy to give feedback on our excellent Bordeaux to Souillac bike tour.  We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and have already recommended Evazio to others.

I will start by saying I was initially slightly nervous about booking more locally ie with a French company,  than  using a British one.

However, any concerns that I had were very quickly removed by the professional, friendly, prompt and patient responses to my many questions.

Plus’s:

• A really well thought out and varied route with minimal travel on busy roads. There was plenty to see and do en route if you wanted to.
• We loved the extension options on certain days
• The accommodation was varied and in good locations with good breakfasts
• The bikes were of an excellent quality and very easy to operate.
• The Evazio app was perfect – again very easy and intuitive to use
• The welcome pack was very useful  and it was good to have the route on paper as well as on the app.
• Great support from the Bordeaux bike hire company when we had a battery issue – resolved over the phone.
• The tour grading was accurate though we were still very grateful to have e-bikes for certain sections – especially leaving Les Eyzies de Tayac and for the Rocamadour trip!

Minus’s:

• Our hotel rooms  in Bordeaux were extremely small and really comfortable for one person.  I would not have wanted to share at all, even with my husband.
• We were not at all  impressed by the hotel in  Les Eyzies de Tayac. We would not want to stay there again.

With hindsight we wished we’d stayed 2 nights in Sarlat. It certainly justifies two nights, there is so much to see and do .

In conclusion we had an extremely  enjoyable cycling holiday  and have no hesitation in recommending Evazio and this tour to others.

We will certainly book via you again should we choose to do another French cycling tour .

Many thanks for all your help and support.

With kind regards

Hi Andrea,

We are back home in Westport after our holiday in the Loire Valley. We really enjoyed the holiday despite a few mishaps. The organisation of the holiday was great. The hotels were very good and the people we met in them were fantastic. The countryside was beautiful.

Thanks so much for organising this holiday for us.

Regards,

Richard Harnedy – May 2024

Bonjour Andrea

Merci pour le bon programme.

On a passé une très belle semaine dans l’Occitanie. Tout était très bien organisé pour le petit cyclo. Les hôtels bien choisis, la livraison des bagage impeccable et les vélos étaient en bon état.  La distance des étapes était très bien fixée. Aussi, les lieux d’intérêts et recommandés pendant les étapes étaient bien recherchés. En bref ; excellent programme pour une semaine.

Cordialement

Nuot Raschèr – Août 2024

Bonjour Stéphane,

Désolée pour le délai.

Je prends le temps de vous remercier pour l’efficacité, la rapidité et la flexibilité a laquelle vous avez répondu a notre demande last minute.

La formule était idéale, les hôtels sélectionnés nous toujours accueillis chaleureusement, les valises déposées a temps. Aucune inquiétude a avoir.

L’itinéraire nous a permis de profiter de multiples paysages et de la plage l’après-midi.

Quelques couacs avec le GPS mais c’est attendu 😏

Je pense que si la formule est plus longue il nous plairait de passer peut être 2 nuits au même endroit et profiter d’autres balades dans la région.

J’ai recommande vos services a plusieurs personnes.

Et je n’hésiterai pas a vous contacter pour d’autres voyages.

En vous remerciant

Marion & Rob – Juillet 2024

Stephane

We are now at the end of our walk and we wish to compliment your company on the planning and especially the excellent accommodations which have all been above our expectations.

We do have some feedback on the walk conditions on our last day Sauternes to Barsac. On the last few kms we experienced unavoidable deep water 300mm++ which filled our boots and further on in a very overgrown section of the track a large tree has fallen across the track and is not passable.

The App is also excellent as is the Roadbook.

Thank you again and for your consideration at the start of our walk. Should we plan another walk in France, we will definitely consider EVAZIO.

Regards

Richard & Lindy Sale – May 2024

We had a lovely trip, thanks Andrea – despite the weather!  The bikes were superb, in first rate condition, while the hotel in Blaye was absolutely charming.  Thank you very much for your organisation.

Best wishes,

Guy Fetherstonhaugh – May 2024

Bonjour l’équipe Evazio

Nous avons été très satisfaits de l’organisation de notre randonnée le long du canal de la Garonne et avons bien apprécié la voie verte près de Bordeaux.

Le suivi des bagages a été impeccable ainsi que l’hébergement aussi bien en hôtellerie que chez l’habitant.Nous adressons nos remerciements plus particuliers à l’hôtelier du Prince Noir qui a résolu notre petit problème de batterie avec patience et dévouement. Nous ne manquerons pas de faire appel à vous pour un nouveau périple.

Bien cordialement

Philippe et Jacqueline OLIVERO – Mai 2024

Andrea, we have finished the bike tour. It was fantastic. The bikes worked well, the app and route were great, hotels were fine. Really a superb trip.

The bikes and bags and equipment are at the hotel.

Thx again for a great trip. We will highly recommend your company and this trip to others.

Peter Spiro – June 2024

Bonsoir M. Fritsch,

Nous avons eu un excellent tour en Alsace, province très belle! Les vélos étaient excellents et les batteries éternelles !

Si je peux me permettre une critique ce serait sur le logiciel employé pour les circuits, pour moi il n’a pas bien marché, trop d’erreurs et pas suffisant en informations de points touristiques d’importance, ainsi que sur les bons restaurants. Je crois qu’avec l’IA aujourd’hui on devrait pouvoir faire beaucoup mieux.

Aussi, j’aimerais disposer d’un support pour iPhone sur le guidon, ce serait bien commode!

Merci pour tout encore une fois!

Bien cordialement
Miguel de Larminat

Cher Stéphane :

Nous avons passé une nouvelle fois un excellent séjour.

Merci beaucoup de l’avoir organisé.

Peut être en 2025 on pourrait recommencer et refaire Bordeaux avec des vélos electriques et en restant à un ou deux hôtels.

Nous en reviendrons à ce projet vers la fin de l’année.

Cordialement

Pablo Taraciuk – Juin 2024

Hello Stephane & Andrea.

Our group of 5 completed the last ride of the Gironde Estuary Tour today.  We are now staying at Mme Poissonneau’s, and will depart tomorrow.  The 5 keys for our bicycle locks are in the handlebar bag of the red electric bike.

Thank you both for arranging this tour.  Everything worked out perfectly!

And thank you, Stephane, for suggesting this particular tour when I first contacted you.  It was just what I wanted:  lots of B&Bs and guesthouses in small towns and villages, lots of warm hospitality and delicious food, and lots of opportunities to meet people.  All 5 of us, from the 13 year old to the 75 year old, thoroughly enjoyed it!

Gail and I have now done 2 Evazio tours – this one and the Bordeaux-Cahor one 2 years ago.  I hope we will do more in the future, and I know we will be recommending you to our friends.

All the best,

Nick Robinson – July 2024

Dear Stephane,

Thanks for your below email and for a very well organized Burgundy walking tour. Everything went well. Very nice hotels and staff, well-planned routes – and even the weather was great 😊

I have already recommended the trip and your company to several of our friends.

Have a great day.

Best/Anne Christina – July 2024

Chère Andrea, cher M. Frisch,

Notre périple s’est fort bien déroulé et nous sommes bien arrivés à l’hôtel. Aucune crevaison ni chute.

Organisation parfaite et logements à l’avenant. Nous vous remercions chaleureusement et pensons renouveler l’expérience.

Le seul hic : j’ai perdu la clé de l’antivol il y a deux jours. Clé qui a dû glisser sur le sol sans que je m’en aperçoive… grottes de Regulus.

Nous posterons un avis très favorable sur le web car le professionnalisme est aujourd’hui aussi rare que précieux (et apprécié).

Avec nos salutations cordiales,

Florence Orwat et Nicolas Chosson – Juillet 2024

Hi Andrea and Stephane

Indeed, we just got back from a wonderful trip to the Atlantic coast of France. This was my 5th cycling trip to Europe and it was great. Before that I cycled in Austria and Belgium with family. This time I went with my close friends (a couple and 18 years old son) and we all seemed to like this one very much. Each tour offers something memorable, but in any trip to France of course, the food has to be a highlight. In addition, I definitely enjoyed the variety of different terrain, from beaches on the beautiful islands Re and D’oleron, to vineyards and chateaux of Medoc and nearby areas. The oyster farms, the beer, and white wine, make this trip unforgettable. And cycling works up appetite quite well, so there are no regrets in consuming this wonderful food and drinks.

The luggage assistance was always prompt and also quite appreciated.

All said, it was great trip and I am looking forward to continue next year from Bordeaux south to Biarritz and Spanish border.

Thanks for helping us out and hopefully will use you again next year

Boris Raginsky and Zaster/Lutitsky family – August 2024

Dear Mr. Fritsch,

We very much enjoyed the cycling tour – we appreciated a well organised relaxing trip, pleasant accommodations, hire bikes of excellent quality.

Nice sights along the way – good restaurant recommendations.

Kind Regards,

Marc Stechele – July 2024

Hi Andrea,

Thank you for a marvellous cycling holiday with Evazio from La Rochelle to Bordeaux this August from August 25th to Sept 1st.

We especially loved Pascale in Mortagne, but our favourite place was in Blaye with Stephaan and Christine .

The recommendations from Evazio were all excellent. The hotel in Bordeaux was excellent with especially helpful and friendly staff.

We would certainly book Evazio again and recommend it to friends.

Merci beaucoup

Pat and Helen – August 2024

Bonjour,

Nous sommes très satisfaits de ce beau parcours avec des étapes bien dimensionnées, des hôtels de très bonne qualité avec un accueil au top, des chambres avec vue, et 2 repas en demi pension à la hauteur de nos attentes.

Notre séjour s’est bien déroulé. Nous avons découvert cette région du Lot, avec beaucoup d’intérêt.

Nous vous remercions et sommes intéressés pour avoir des informations sur d’autres séjours.

Bien cordialement.

Brigitte LE BRET – Septembre 2023

Bonjour Monsieur  Fritsch,

Nous avons tous été ravis de notre séjour aux bords de la Charente!

Nous avons apprécié la qualité des vélos et de leurs équipement, l’organisation du transport des bagages, le charme et confort des hébergements…

Bref une très belle expérience à recommencer un de ces jours…

Très cordialement

Thomas Renck – Août 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 taxi 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

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

Many thanks for organising 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.

Merci

Nick Arnold – 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

Bonjour Andréa,

Nous avons passé un super moment pendant notre semaine à la découverte de cette belle région qu’est la Vallée du Lot.

Il est impératif de terminer cette balade, même si l’aller est plus difficile pour les mollets, par Saint Cirq Lapopie qui a été le summum pour nous.

Bravo aussi pour les hébergements et repas réservés.

C’était notre 3éme séjour avec Evazio et nous ne regrettons rien !

Bien cordialement.

Mr Savry – Septembre 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

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 a 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!!!!

Merci, merci, merci,

Erica and Jesse – September 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

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

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

Tout s’est très bien passé. Avec un peu moins de pluies et de vent, ceci aurait été parfait mais je ne pense pas que cette “option” relève d’Evazio.

Le guidage version papier à quelques “imprécisions” entre Chateauvaillon et La Rochelle mais en se connectant à l’application, nous avons retrouvé facilement le chemin.
Le format cahier est vraiment très pratique.

L’accueil dans les hôtels a été parfait surtout quand nous précisions que nous étions avec Evazio.

Merci pour votre service et à l’année prochaine !

Stéphane MARCINAK – Juillet 2023

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour en val de Loire. Tout s’est bien passé et l’organisation a été parfaite. La météo a été cependant un peu capricieuse et nous avons dû intervertir deux journées dans le programme sans conséquence pour l’organisation.

Nous vous remercions pour ce beau séjour et nous n’hésiterons pas à recommander votre agence à l’avenir.

Bien cordialement,

Romain PIERRAT – Juillet 2023
