Randonnee Tours: randonnee.com  

We have taken two trips with Randonnee and each time we've had an outstanding experience. The charming, mostly family-run, small hotels and the always right on dining suggestions add immensely to the excellent route directions with plenty of historical background information and with many options let you make it the  trip you want to be on. There is a tremendous sense of freedom in being on your own with no schedule except your own but also knowing that Randonnee is there is the background making everything as easy and worry-free as possible. As with all the bicycle companies, Randonnee is reflective of the warmth and detail orientation of the owner and her staff. - Susan H., Sacramento, CA

... planning was perfect, the hikes were varied and inspiring, the B&B were all great - the one in Victoria so beautiful and elegant. The islands are beyond gorgeous, and we cannot wait to come back and explore more. The service provided by Randonn‚e was excellent. We felt very well taken care of and very efficiently organized. And we knew we had someone available if we needed help at any point. It was an amazing introduction to a wonderful part of the world (BC Gulf Islands), and we will definitely visit again. V. Lusbader

... The accommodations were fantastic, the scenery was breathtaking, our coordinator was great, and the biking was superb. It was one of the best vacations ever. We can't wait for our next trip!!! The pre-tour material was overall very informative and any questions that the material didn't answer were answered promptly by Randonnee. - L. Booth

The pretour material was excellent and the level of difficulty was exactly what we were looking for. Everything worked like clock-work. The area manager gave us good advise and the accommodations + breakfast were top match. G. Strathy - California

The accommodation was WOW - all clean and very nice. The food at each hotel was exceptional and reasonable. We greatly enjoyed all the destinations. Wish we would have had more time. The Dordogn wasn't overall a leisurely tour - it was moderate to difficult because of the length and grade of the hills. However I would not recommend changing a thing - it's the nature of this beautiful region. We are not cyclists, but we are in decent shape. - S. Ashmore

All 3 locations in the Dordogne were beautiful and the hotels were lovely. The people at all the locations were very gracious and helpful. I found Eve Cabanel to be very helpful in planning. We thought the Dordogne was the perfect place for a bike tour. The beauty of the area and history were outstanding. It far surpassed our expectations. - D. Ford

The tour directions were easy to follow and provided interesting information. The bikes were great. We had a well-appointed room overlooking the Dordogne river and could watch the cruise boats and canoes going up and down as well as people moving about. The hiking and canoeing were beautiful and well within our abilities. The area manager was very prompt and efficient. He was also generous enough to allow Marie to ride with him on the last day. M. Bradby

Our accommodations were delightful, we really enjoyed Fare Nui in Beaune. The routes were as
promised - quiet country roads, little traffic, fabulous scenery, interesting towns and villages. Added details about where to shop and bank were most helpful. The bikes were fine and well tuned up. -

Burgundy exceeded by far over expectations. Food and wine out of this world and wonderfully welcoming people. Our best cycling tour in France from all over 6 times." R. Pasturel

...Great choices!!! The accommodations were lovely, clean and comfortable. I found Eve Cabanel to be very Helpful and the area manager provided us with good service. The walks were beautiful and challenging. The villages were quaint with excellent accommodations and the service was stellar. We loved Tuscany and wish to walk other areas of this great region. M. Klug

Nice variety and good locations of hotel. The staff at all locations was helpful and we did not experience any language or luggage issues. - S. Danno & M. McNeill

We took two Radonnee self guided tours in France, Provence and the Dorgdone. Their routing was sometimes flawed but generally on beautiful roads in beautiful country. Logistics and support were good, but the bikes were mediocre for the cost. - Allez, San Francisco, CA
