Bike and Hotel Tours

“This was a fairly gentle tour along the river, passing through and staying in some lovely picturesque cities and towns. The scenery was sometimes pretty but lengthy sections could be monotonous. This isn't anyone's fault - it's the official Euro Velo route.
On two days, train tickets were provided, presumably to limit the distance ridden, but, on both occasions, we elected to ride, making the longest days a touch over 80km and there was ample range in the ebikes for that. The bikes were great and appeared almost brand new. I would, however, recommend a pair (or two) of bike shorts or your own saddle.
The (optional) phone app from the local tour operator (Pedalo) was generally good for navigation, though a distance countdown for the day's ride would be a great addition.
However, we only stumbled over information about the day 1 briefing and bike handover in the app at the last second. More proactive communication (a welcome email a couple of days out?) would have been helpful. Pedalo support was good when we needed to contact them, though.” Less

“We had a wonderful time touring the sights of the 1944 D-Day landing beaches. There were at least 2 museums in each of the main towns dedicated to the D-Day invasion. We rode in sunshine, rain, and wind but overall the weather was not bad. The hotels were all excellent and the luggage transfer was seamless. The only downside was we had to closely budget our time in the museums to complete the ride. There is so much to see this trip could easily be an extra day with shorter daily rides to take it all in. We were happy to have E-bikes which gave us more energy to tour the sights. The stop at the American Cemetery in Normandy was a moving experience. We would highly recommend this trip for anyone, but do your homework and have an understanding of the events and places you will see. The special part of this ride is that you not only visit Utah and Omaha beaches but also Gold, Juno, and Sword which gives you a good perspective of the magnitude of this operation. Food was not always readily available in Normandy as most restaurants were closed from 1-2 which was not ideal for us.” Less
