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
Jo Wood – September 2024
