The trip on the Estelle was good in every respect, with the cuisine outstanding. The only serious criticism I have is the boat company's insistence on being paid in cash and not by credit card at the end of the trip. Everyone uses cards nowadays...
We took the Provence Bike and Barge trip in August 2023. Here are our comments from the trip. 1. Accommodation: Barge (Caprice) was nice and rooms we're in good condition. There was sufficient storage in the room which was great as we we're travelling for three weeks. 2. Food and Snacks: Food was good and there was plenty to eat at each meal. Juice and snacks were ready after each bike ride and were very good. Breakfast was good. 3. Crew and Tour Guide: Excellent, they all worked very hard to ensure everyone had a good time. 4. Biking: This was only satisfactory as we felt we spent more time taking breaks for cafes and lunch and other things than riding. We were there when the weather was hot, but no real arrangement was made to get going early in the day to avoid the heat and get in a few more Km/Miles on the bike. Routes were good and guide did well at keeping everyone together Overall: Great trip, but could have had more bike riding time.
Loved the whole trip. Especially loved how well the crew worked together to help each other and make everything work well for us. The chef helped load the bikes. The captain helped serve dinner, etc.
