Whilst it’s a self-guided tour, I felt supported out on the road. The bikes were very comfortable and the staff were terrific. Helmets were available for those who wanted them. The standard of accommodation was basic to good with the hotel in Chitenay being excellent.
You set up a great itinerary for our 7 days. Mainly back roads through lovely villages which gave us a feeling for the countryside. The suggestions for sites to visit, food and drink locations and general info was excellent. Be sure to download the app and the trip itinerary before leaving home and also read the instructions.
The only reason we put #4 and not #5 had nothing to do with UTracks! We were very early in the season with unseasonably wet, cold and muddy weather, plus we clearly weren’t up to 30k a day so taxied and trained but still managed 15-20k a day, and many more hours at the castles and chateaux than the ‘walk’ suggested! Otherwise, GPS tracker and written instructions were perfect though we didn’t use the printed A3 maps and actually don’t think we could have read them with the yellow highlighter blurring the field trails - otherwise all BRILLIANT. Only slightly disappointed with last night’s accommodation - others were SUPERB, THANK YOU!
