Rave Reviews:
Provence

Dave Bowden

Whether you’ve been working at something for five minutes or five decades, it’s always nice to hear an encouraging word (or two). And thanks to our amazing travellers, we frequently find ourselves feeling very encouraged indeed. Check out what some of them have to say about the land of lavender fields, Provence.

“It was great that there were plenty of riding options for the different riding levels. I loved having the option to ride more if I wanted to. Gorgeous scenery high in the mountains with views of canyons and our guide was there in the van to give us water and support! We had the most fantastic trip!!”

– Esther Burke, Provence Biking, 2013

“Around every turn was another spectacular site! Our guides took all the worry away, and made the days incredibly fun! It was our first B&R experience, and we will definitely schedule another one!”

– Judy Samples, Provence Walking, 2013

“Having a three-piece jazz/swing band with saxophone greet us in Murs on the last day was a crowd pleaser! Our guides, Daniel + Olivier, were without doubt, two of the most agreeable, harmonious + proficient professionals that I have seen in all my years of traveling. Honestly, you have two world class gentlemen there.”

– David Ober, Provence Biking, 2013

“There were many great moments–one of the best for me was the relationships B&R has with their chosen hosts. Our second dinner out was exceptional but also very personal to meet the restaurant owners & hear their stories.”

– Beth Hennessy, Provence Biking, 2013

“Our experience with B&R has transformed our life. Really. We came home as aficionados of life.”

– Ken & Tammy Silvestry, Provence Walking

“We enjoyed this trip tremendously. The routes were beautiful and the hotel accommodations were among the best. The events, particularly the open air picnic accompanied by an exceptional jazz band, will last in our memories.”

– Elizabeth Gardner, Provence Biking, 2012

“We loved visiting the amazing countryside and smaller villages and felt like we were completely immersed in the French culture. The hotels and food (in true B&R form) were top-notch and far exceeded our expectations!”

– Thomas Bullock, Provence Biking, 2011

“This was our fourth B&R trip and it was magnificent. Provence was the most beautiful landscape yet! We are busy planning next year’s trip as we are always so pleased with the quality of the guides, the food and wine, the activities and of course the cycling. Thank you once again B&R!”

– Carolyn Zaslaw, Provence Biking, 2010

“This was our first B&R trip and there will definitely be others. Great travelling companions, great food, great wine, great Provençal experience.”
