    Enjoyable with some caveats.

    On the 2024-09-07 by Beeba
    Enjoyed the trip despite some issues. Loved casting and exploring the gorgeous towns and villages along the way. Bikes were good after sorting out some problems when first picked up. Had to return with bikes which delayed us significantly. One bike had a disconnected chain which was fixed when we took back but had to return again as was slipping when changing gears. They also forgot to give us the lock after removing it to give us a demonstration. Drink bottle holders were also broken and had to be replaced. The gps app was unclear how to use. The first day it took us onto a major highway where bikes are prohibited. The only time the bike route is able to be chosen is if you click on day 1, day 2 etc. If you select a destination to visit on the way the car route comes up so be aware of this. Accommodation was good apart from one hotel in Fontevraud that had small pokey rooms and no air conditioning. We paid extra to upgrade to a larger room on a lower floor that had large opening windows to be more comfortable during hot weather. The town of Fontevraud was also disappointing and was a wasted stay. Very small town, nothing to do except for the Abbey which is asulterated after being used as a prison and has awful modern artwork throughout. Extremely unfriendly towards tourists, and opening hours of the very few restaurants in town very limited. Luggage service was excellent. Always there at hotel when we arrived around 3pm each day. From the description on website we thought we would be traveling on mainly car free roads along river but we actually were on public roads for much of the trip. Thankfully they were mainly quiet country roads.

    Organisation au top

    Pour les pressé(e)sou ceux qui n'ont pas eu le temps d'étudier le parcours à Vélo, Vélo voyageur propose un sejour clé en main. Le parcours est personnalisable avec option de visite, d'activité ..., les distances sont correctes meme sans assistance électrique et l'application permet de ne pas stresser et de s'assurer que le chemin parcouru est le bon.

    Tours to Saumur

    Fabulous trip, can highly recommend. We will use Vélo Voyageur again -we hope.

    Amazing trip! Highly recommend

    Highly enjoyable and well organised cycle from Tours to Saumur. Beautiful scenery and wonderful food. thank you Le Velo Voyageur.

    A magical ride

    On the 2023-09-29 by Johnson
    The route along the Loire is spectacular. The ride itself is easy with a few gently climbs that could be accomplished by anyone. The variety of scenery is also remarkable from pretty towns and villages to cave-dwellings and lots of chateaus and vineyards in between. It was easy to collect our bikes and follow the route using the app, Our luggage was waiting for us at our next hotel so all we had to carry was our picnic. We opted for the best standard of accommodation. Compared to the UK you get exceptional hotels for a very low price. It was well worth the upgrade in my opinion. Every corner you turn there are fabulous restaurants and wine bars. Despite the cycling we put on a bit of weight with the lovely Chinon wines! The rental bikes were new, solid and reliable, but if you are used to a higher quality bike then you might want to bring your own.Otherwise they got us around quite well.

    Gem of a trip!

    On the 2023-09-22 by Photomom
    Súper helpful and friendly planning a beautiful trip! Their connections knowing which hotels are local and bike friendly are spot on! Can’t go wrong!! Ask for your paperwork early.

    On the 2023-08-04 by Kat
    Une organisation sans faille. Les vélos étaient topissimes . Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l hôtel d Azay le rideau . Tous les hébergements sont prévus pour recevoir des voyageurs à vélo. Pour une 1ere fois, un voyage de 4 jours était l idéal.

    Séjour de 4 jours entre Loire, Vienne, Indre et Cher, à vélo et en kayak, très bien équilibré et organisé. la communication papier de Vélo voyageur est à parfaire grandement. Sinon bravo !

    Super balade

    On the 2021-08-27 by Sophie
    Ma fille et moi avons adoré cette balade de 4 jours en bord de Loire. L'itinéraire comme les étapes étaient très bien organisés, avec des hôtels très agréables. Le personnel d'assistance a été réactif lorsque nous avons rencontré une petite difficulté.

    Un voyage équilibré, entre culture et sport

    On the 2021-08-02 by Ségolène
    Le parcours touristique était très bien conçu, l'hébergement au-delà de mes attentes et le service toujours bon, voire particulièrement aimable. Vélos de qualité; l'alternance avec le kayak est une bonne idée! Quel plaisir de (re)découvrir la Renaissance dans la Loire ainsi (même si l'expérience peut être un peu ardue pour les moins sportifs en fin de journée!).

    super organisation.

    On the 2021-06-16 by JEAN-PAUL
    les contacts avant et pendant super, organisation sans problème, guidage GPS super, transfert des valises impeccables. je vous les recommande. merci, le choix de la demi pension est une super formule et les restaurants choisis était à la hauteur de nos attentes. merci et félicitation.

    Excellent mais des réglages à faire

    On the 2021-05-30 by kathrine
    Au magasin de vélos insister pour une explication exhaustive du fonctionnement des vélos, aide au réglage du casque, conseils sur le fonctionnement de l'assistance électrique. Le GPS aurait été un plus ,au moins conseiller de télécharger Google maps qui indique les pistes cyclables... Guide à simplifier Hotels très bien choisis, pt dej excellents, choix des itinéraires très bien

    Séjour parfait sur les bords de Loire à vélo et canoë!

    On the 2021-05-27 by Fanny
    Un grand merci à Vélo Voyageur pour leur réactivité quant à l'organisation de ce séjour que nous avions décidé de dernière minute! Tout était parfait: le matériel (le vélo, les sacoches étanches très pratiques et suffisamment grandes), l'accueil et la gentillesse des prestataires, le standing des hôtels très charmants et les petits-déjeuners très bons! L'application qui permet de se guider et de suivre le parcours est très bien développée. Un + pour l'audio-guide et la recommandation de certains endroits. Nous n'hésiterons-pas à renouveler l'expérience avec Vélo Voyageur sur d'autres circuits :-)

    Loire Adventure

    On the 2020-08-17 by Emma
    Great trip, really well organised with clear information provided from start to finish. Lovely varied route with plenty of things to do along the way with our two children. High quality bikes and beautiful places to stay. Felt like a real adventure, especially with the day canoeing to break up the riding. The trailer bikes were a good option for us as although it was an 'easy' route it was quite hilly in places so would have been difficult for our 6 and 9 year old on their own bikes.

    Séjour formidable

    On the 2020-08-11 by Gilles
    Nous avons passé un excellent séjour. Tout était parfaitement organisé. Des hôtels très agréables aux étapes, un trajet en canoë inoubliable, des parcours à vélo variés et très agréables.

    première expérience en famille avec des grands ados 18, 15 et 13 ans. de Tours à Saumur en 4 jours tout le monde a apprécié : distances raisonnables se combinant aux visites des chateaux

    Une belle semaine sur la Loire

    On the 2020-08-03 by Daniel Daester
    4 jours sur la Loire à Vélo entre Tours et Saumur avec ma fille Alicia, un séjour extrêmement bien organisé dans une belle région de villages soignés, de nombreux châteaux et où les hôteliers nous ont réservés un accueil simple et chaleureux. Nous avons aussi été impressionné par la gentillesse des gens rencontrés, bonne humeur et humour. Nous soulignons également le sérieux des mesures appliquées par tous les commerces, hôtels....pour la lutte contre le virus.

De belles surprises tout au long du parcours, nous repartirons avec le Vélo Voyageur les yeux fermés !

    4 ados, 4 adultes, nous avons pédalé, pagayé sur les chemins de cette magnifique région, de franches rigolades et quelques souffrances pour les non initiés! Les visites culturelles, gourmandes nous ont enchantés ! Nous rentrons des souvenirs plein les yeux !

    Belle escapade de 4 jours en famille !

    On the 2019-05-13 by Philippe
    Très bon séjour, bien organisé, sans soucis particulier. La pré-réservation des visites des châteaux était bien (nous avons ajouté la visite d'Ussé). Il a juste fallu réajuster les horaires la veille pour la journée en canoë pour pouvoir en profiter sans stress, mais l'organisme s'est finalement montré ouvert. Même si tous ne sont pas du même standing, les hôtels sont vraiment très confortables et la cuisine excellente; ils ne se ressemblent pas et chacun a son charme ! Seul bémol, l'un d'eux ne proposait pas d'ascenseur (un peu dur pour monter les bagages après une journée de vélo...) mais par contre, la chambre offrait un panorama splendide sur le château de Montsoreau et la Loire !

    très favorable

    Cyclcing in the Loire Valley

    On the 2018-09-16 by Emmanuel
    The cycling was great, castles to visit were nice and varied, most hotels were very good, food advice was good in general. The pace was well thought, and we enjoyed our trip very much. We had a very good time cycling in the Loire Valley and visiting local towns and castles. The trip was very well organized by Velo Voyageurs, with very clear roadbook. Hotels and food were great, except the Hotel Plantagenet, which was very disappointing and shouldn't be in the list of selected hotels

    Agréable

    On the 2018-08-21 by sylvain
    Malgré quelques problèmes sur un vélo au début, le séjour était bien organisé (transferts de bagages et hôtels sans soucis), et le parcours "Loire à vélo" (globalement identique au roadbook) est bien fléché sur place, ce qui permet de ne pas avoir à sortir la carte trop souvent c’est agréable.

    Balade de Tours à Saumur

    On the 2018-07-28 by Catherine
    séjour très bien organisé : bagages, vélos, canoë l'option canoë entre Chinon et Montsoreau est vraiment à recommander : super balade sur la vienne sauvage (oiseaux, ...). des supers paysages sur notre parcours.

    Séjour remarquable

    On the 2018-07-15 by Joelle
    Le trajet entre Tours et Saumur est sublime, les hôtels proposés sont bien choisis, et les gens très accueillants. Si vous ne faites pas trop de vélo, on conseille le vélo électrique, qui permet de se balader à un rythme idéal. Le passage en canoë est génial.

    Perfection!

    On the 2018-06-25 by Wendylea
    We spent 5 glorious days biking and canoeing from Tours to Saumur and it was absolutely amazing. Beautiful rides, top- notch accommodations and flawless arrangements with canoeing connection, luggage delivery and hotel check-ins. This was our second trip with Velo and will not be our last. Highly recommended.

    De supers vacances !!

    On the 2018-05-16 by Régis&Mélanie
    Nous avons adoré notre séjour organisé par Le Vélo Voyageur ! Pas de prise de tête, tout est pris en charge : l'itinéraire, les différentes étapes (hôtel et demi pension pour nous), le transport des bagages, c'est absolument parfait ! C’était notre premier voyage à vélo et en plus de cette très bonne organisation, nous avons eu la chance de faire la Loire à vélo sous le soleil. De très bons souvenirs que nous ne manquerons pas de raviver avec un autre séjour !

    A wonderful trip. Well organised, good accomodation, and new, well maintained bicycles. The luggage delivery was particularly welcome at the end of a days cycling in the summer warmth. Some of my favourite holiday memories from this trip.

    All the person in Loire will help you

    I am a Korean. I am very short in English but also I don’t nearly know in French. But there was not any problem in my trip. After this 4-days trip, I traveled the other place for more long days Paris, Strasburg etc. But velo-voyage was the best. I heard in Africa,“To raising a child, need hole town people’s help.” I felt that all the person in Loire help me for my successful traveling. All the people who I met in the road were kind and having beautiful smile. (If you want to know the most beautiful French’s smile, then go to Le Grand Monarque hotel in Azay-le-Rideau.) I will never forget the beautiful landscape, beautiful castle and beautiful town with various flowers in Loire valley. But perhaps I will remember the beautiful person for a long time more than the magical scenery. I thank God and velo-travel performers for giving me this beautiful present.

    We had a great trip with le Velo Voyageurs. It was well organised and left us little to do but enjoy the ride. We had a 4 day trip from Tours to Saumur, including one day in a canoe. The riding was easy and the canoe trip a real change from the cycling. Would recommend this trip to anyone. The pace was easy, so we had plenty of time to spend together. Brilliant accommodation in Tours, Azay le Rdeau and Montsoreau. Brought back great memories of the trip.

    We all had an amazing biking trip. The bikes & accommodations were great, and the proficiency of Velo Voyageur was outstanding. The bike signs along the trails were very helpful and the quick responses to any of my requests was greatly appreciated. Looking forward to booking with you again!!

    Partis à 6 ( trois couples d'un certain âge) nous avons découverts la région dans d'excellentes conditions d'hébergements et des prestations de qualité qui nous ont fait passer 4 jours entre Tours et Saumur dans une ambiance sportive mais toujours très raisonnée avec des haltes remarquables .

    A wonderful way to discover France

    Le velo voyageur has done an excellent job in putting a tricky trip together. The accommodations are outstanding, their preparation in satisfying customers is high and the standards are also high. We recommend their services very strongly and we have promised ourselves to do more of their trips.

    A Great Experience

    My husband and I had a wonderful experience cycling the 4 day escape between Tours and Saumur, September 16 to 21. Thunderstorm forecasts prevented the canoe day, but that didn't dampen our enthusiasm. The bikes were great, including the computer, the panniers, both front and back, and the rain covers for rain. The hotels were delightful and so were the meals. I'd highly recommend cycling with Velo Voyageur. I particularly loved that the cycling days were reasonably short so that we could relax, tour castles, and just soak up the Loire Valley ambience. I'm so happy we chose you for our cycling experience! We have cycled with other companies and we think yours is the best so far! Thank you again! My only regret is that we never did get to meet you!

    Excellent !

    Overall this was an excellent holiday . It was very well organised, we had NO difficulties at all. The hotels we stayed in were lovely and all staff were very helpful and welcoming. I would recommend this holiday to anyone who enjoys easy cycling, the countryside and wants to discover more of France.

    Retour de rando

    Notre petite troupe de la rando velo tenait à vous dire que nous avons passé un excellent séjour à pédaler sur ces charmants chemins entre Tours et Saumur, et ce malgré une météo plutot humide et capricieuse : nous sommes maintenant très rapides dans le déballage du kway ! les hotels, resto et loueurs ont été tous très accueillants, la logistique également, et le fléchage très clair. Merci beaucoup à tous pour votre accueil et votre organisation.

    Great service

    Eugenie, our trip was fantastic. My wife is not a rider so the electric bike made it possible for her to join in, The hotels were wonderful - centrally located and good quality, and all the logistics worked perfectly. Thanks very much, from Sydney.
