Testimonials

“The scenery was magical. Just when we thought we had seen the most beautiful lakes, we saw lakes just as beautiful, but with a glacier and waterfall added! We liked the difficulty of the tour. The rivers and mountains made all the up hills a pleasure.”

“I am writing to thank you for the wonderful tour you arranged for my husband and myself. I can honestly say this was by far the best vacation we have ever taken! As my husband puts it, this was the first time he has been on a trip where he didn’t want to go home by the end of it… The trip exceeded all our expectations and hopes and we will highly recommend you to as many people as we can think of. Your staff has been extremely helpful in putting together a custom trip for us and has cheerfully answered our plethora of questions along the way. The trip was well thought out and the information we were provided with was comprehensive and extremely helpful. I wouldn’t consider going on a trip like this without going through Randonnée. In fact, I fear that any other kind of vacation is now ruined for us, so I just hope you are going to be around for a long, long time.”

“The scenery was magical. Just when we thought we had seen the most beautiful lakes, we saw lakes just as beautiful, but with a glacier and waterfall added! We liked the difficulty of the tour. We were looking for a challenge we couldn’t get at home. The rivers and mountains made all the uphills a pleasure.”

Hotels were very well curated, food was good and scenery was colorful. Both biking and sightseeing afterwards were very interesting. Choice of restaurants was impeccable.

ust got back from Nova Scotia and want to say that we had a fabulous trip. Thanks so much for doing your job so well. The routes were great and so were the accommodations.

This is the trip of a lifetime — so difficult, so rewarding, so much Spain. Our guides — Daniele V. and Juan (Joan) — made the trip. “Ok, today was tough, but tomorrow will be even more difficult.” Every day. We loved every minute of it.

This is very well organized trip. Hotels were very well curated, food was good and scenery was colorful. Both biking and sightseeing afterwards were very interesting. Choice of restaurants was impeccable.
Trip is to be recommended full heartedly!

“We found the people we met made the trip so special. Several of us have already been talking about which trip to go on next year.”

“Very pleased with the accommodation!! Wonderful location and high standards. We loved the destination, perfect choice of town and cities, would not have changed a thing. We had the trip of a lifetime! It was the perfect mixture of natural beauty, culture, food, exercise and elegance. We are counting down the days until our next summer with Randonnee!”

“The overall experience: It was a good tour for a couple with a variety of cycle touring experience. It got us to a part of Italy that we would not have seen had it not been for a suggestion from Eve Cabanel. We would definitely do it again.”

“Puglia is natural and wild, authentic in the true sense, rustic and traditional, friendly and safe. It is totally enchanting if these are the qualities you are searching for in a place”

“The inn was lovely, I have a lot of experience at picking out nice accommodation, so “meeting my expectations” is high praise. The overall experience is excellent. We only wish we had more days to explore the area; you supplied us with enough cycling and walking tours to fill a week.”

“We had a wonderful time. The weather was so good to us! And all the hotels you booked for us were just great. We especially loved the rich décor, delicious breakfast and helpful folks at Hotel Gounod. Our favorite hike was The dentelles de Montmiraille, Spectacular! Thank you for your help it was a grand vacation.”

“We… wanted to thank you personally for an absolutely perfect tour of Provence. We were able to absorb so much of the sights and sounds of this beautiful area and enjoy a completely relaxing vacation thanks to the efforts of you and your staff who arranged all the details so capably and thoroughly.”

“We thought your service was really excellent. The Crillon Le Brave was excellent, beautiful room and a very good service. The tour could have been slightly longer rides but there was always extra loop options to keep you busy. It is a beautiful country for cycling and we did not find the hills too hard”

“Thank you for such a wonderful experience and providing us for a memorable vacation. Normandy is a beautiful area and we couldn’t have planned the experience any better.”

“This tour was pretty easy and beautiful. The routes Randonnée chooses are great – small quiet back roads. The self-guided tours are great, this was my second one. Amboise and Azay Le Rideau hotels were outstanding.”

“The tour was not difficult for those who cycle hills regularly, but a nice combination of scenery and challenge. It’s easy with a self-supported tour for individuals to add kms to the daily route if they want to, as we did on the last day.”

“We were blown away by the natural beauty of the area, the chateaus, the castles, the caves and rock formations, and the staggering amount of pre-history. Each fortified town seemed more amazing than the next. Our trip took us through rural towns and hillsides where we ate apples and figs from wild trees and blackberries from hedges. We also got to taste the bountiful harvest of walnuts just lying on the grounds. And the meals were incredible. They are serious gastronomes in the southwest France!”

“The trails were a good mix of level of difficulty with breathtaking scenery! Service was excellent! The Randonnée staff in the home office was also excellent in answering all my questions, getting us set up with the tour, providing information and in general providing excellent service with a pleasant attitude. The trip was really great. I loved it. It was a wonderful experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat!”

“We loved the spa Eastman, even stayed and extra day. The area manager is wonderful, a real asset for Randonnee, He helped us with every phase of the tour, including customizing the last day to match my wife capacity. The central office staff was very helpful regarding our possible taking our dog along. An excellent job by all!”

“We found the area manager to be knowledgeable, friendly and extremely accommodating. As an example, he indulged our interests by stopping at a vineyard.”

“The inn keepers in North Hatley and Magog are fabulous; and the breakfasts, superb. The North Hatley B&B is especially wonderful with all its Scottish influence.”

“Area manager (Phillipe) and his whole family (who assist him) were great…in fact this was a very people oriented trip and for that a pleasure. The hiking program was nicely balanced…we feel we saw and experienced quite a lot.”

“We choose your company because we could pick the departure date and the location fit our needs. I was happy with the overall experience. This was my first bike trip and didn’t know how I would handle the daily riding and how it would fit in with the non riding part of a vacation it all went well.”

“I wanted you to know that we had the absolutely best time on our trip to the Gulf Islands. Your 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. Each day got better and by the time we got to Saturna we never wanted to leave! We loved all the accommodation; especially Lyall Harbour. The service provided by Randonnée 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. Eve Cabanel was wonderful. Thank you so much for all your help and support. It was an amazing introduction to a wonderful part of the world, and we will definitely visit again.”

“All of our accommodations were great – especially the Lyall Harbour B&B. The food was delicious and the family made us feels very much at home. Everything was great!”

“[Randonnée] offered what we wanted, where we wanted, when we wanted” and “Tour was excellent. Organization good (riding instructions were almost too detailed). Island hosts and managers were all great.”

“All of our hosts went beyond our expectations. Breakfasts were spectacular. Judith on Mayne Island was exceptionally nice, accommodation simple, comfortable, host intelligent, thoughtful and great cooks! Great balance of small city (Victoria), small island (Mayne) and something in the middle (Salt Spring). Also had variable biking conditions (some flatter, some hillier) and we enjoyed kayaking in Mayne Island. The area managers were terrific. They really went out of their way for us.”

“Hastings House was really exceptional. I also found Oceanwood really nice. We had a large room to ourselves with a beautiful view of the bay. The fairly short distances still allowed us to see most of Salt Spring and Mayne and half of Galiano and gave us a lot of time to stop, take pictures and enjoy the scenery.”

“It was an exceptional trip – the camino was incredible. We loved the cycling and had a fantastic time. Some trails were challenging, but we were happy every day. The hotel in Santiago was outstanding, Beautiful, lovely breakfast and the proprietor was exceptionally helpful in every way. All in all the hotel were great and our luggage arrived each day with no problem.”

“The bikes were good – we were on the trails almost the entire way, so we needed the suspension and mountain bike tires. The walking tour in Leon was great. Our tour was really good – the luggage was forwarded without a hitch, the hotels worked out fine overall and we had a great experience.”

“The pretour material was excellent. The difficulty of the tour was exactly what we were looking for. The help by your office and the area manager was excellent, everything worked like clock-work. The area manager gave us good advice and the accommodations + breakfast were top notch. We will definitely consider other trips with you.”

“We had selected (Classic level) hotels. The Montrachet in Puligny-Montrachet was a nice treat. And the meal was an experience! We were also very happy with the dinners that were arranged for us in both Burgundy and Provence. Great choices.”

“A big thanks for organizing such a wonderful Burgundian experience for us. We enjoyed every minute. Our accommodations were delightful, we really enjoyed Fare Nui in Beaune. The hosts were so engaging and managed to get all their guests involved in lively conversation. 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. The whole experience was a bit like being on a rally, and we loved it. All towns were interesting. A nice mix of larger and small rides were all worthwhile. Your office staff in Vancouver was most helpful. Again thank you for providing us with such a wonderful, care-free experience.”

“Overall, we were surprised and impressed at how smoothly everything went – our bags were always there, people knew we were coming – (one inn) owner even worried about us when we got in a bit late! Attention to details on your part left us free to enjoy France. The trip route notes were excellent – provided lots of helpful tips, you obviously took great pains with the directions. We feel very satisfied with what we received for what we paid. Very professional service – we had a great time – thanks. Route took us through beautiful places and ‘Deep France’…”

“The tour was simply GREAT! And of course we had a great group – adding up to the trip of a lifetime. Once again I wan to thank you for your patience and diligence in setting up the tour. Quality very good. Suitability of bikes with regard to type, size, gearing, tire width and accessories was also very good. Accommodations were flat-out GREAT!”

“We would do it again! We loved the narrow country roads with sparse traffic, little old villages, and French country side. All three accommodations were excellent and different from each other. We thoroughly enjoyed our hosts at the B&Bs and the staff at l’Hotel de la Cote d’Or was very accommodating, even packed us a take away breakfasts on our departure day. Lucien & Brigitte at Fare Nui are great hosts and Lucien`s cuisine is to die for! At Dome de Serigny, Marie-Pascale did laundry and would not accept payment. Excellent bikes! Well-designed handlebar bag. Good variety of terrain, bikes perfect.”

“All B&Bs were excellent especially the first one in Beaune. All the people were very kind, generous and helpful. The small towns were very scenic. Everything was great.”

“Please keep your selection of B&Bs; they are not only clean and beautiful but our hosts and hostesses were warm and friendly and very informative. Lucien and Brigitte are a wonderful couple. Marie Pachael was very sweet, and the staff at our B&B in Semur-en-Auxois positively excellent. I would take this tour again just to see every one of these fine people! I was very pleasantly surprised by the lightness and easy handling of the bike provided. I have since purchased a Cannondale hybrid! To say I enjoyed my experience is an understatement. Let me just say that most folks have a bucket list, I don’t. I have a list of things I never thought I would do. For example, I have parasailed, biked in Amsterdam, horseback in Costa Rica, zipped-lined in the jungle etc. To-date, I have travelled to Europe 8 times and been outside of Canada so many times that I have lost track yet, this cycle tour is the top of my list!”

“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.”

“This was our third tour with you…by far the best yet. We also found Jerome and in particular his assistant, Cedric, to be very accommodating. They were by far the best area managers we have had in any of our trips with you. All of the hotels chosen were outstanding. We love everything in French countryside. Service by your office – excellent.”

“Fabulous accommodation Cordoba, Palma de Rio, Carmona. We were lucky enough to arrive in Sevilla during Bienal de Flamenco and saw a great performance. It was not a big challenge for us, but that was fine, since we really liked having energy and time to visit the towns we were in.”

“Loved the restored monastery and palace type settings. I was happy with the level of support on the trip.”

“[Your Area Manager] Graham is lovely. Routes were well-planned, suggestions about where to stop and eat, etc. were helpful.”

“I loved the cities visited. You picked great hotels.”

“We have done many self-guided tours in Europe and we thought your directions were well above most.”

PEOPLE: Fantastic! Hugo from Evora, Ricarrdo-van driver, and Maria from the B&B at Marvao were all esp. Nice & helpful.

When we had difficulties with our bikes and the 2nd day – your representatives were more than understanding and helpful – we all appreciated the bike repairs/servicing as well as the assistance getting to our next town. Having Robin a phone call away while we were in the middle of Portugal was wonderful! Thank you Robin for handling everything!!! I would love to travel another route in Portugal – the people were exceptional!!

Our local host was the perfect complement to a self guided tour. Throughout the week Sabrina made us feel as if we were personal guests of hers and she took great pleasure in ensuring we had an unforgettable Italian experience.

Office service excellent. Sabrina was EXCELLENT. Sabrina met us each morning and made excellent suggestions based on our interests and based upon her read of us as she got to know us. She handled the bike equipment challenges as well as possible.

“The office staff was very responsive with the timeliness and quality of their communications. They must keep meticulous notes, as we received flawless service, even when we spoke with various reps. Alex, your local rep, was A+ too. She went out of her way to keep in contact with us. She was a pleasure!”

“As was our previous experience when booking our last trip, it was great dealing with Robbin and Anne again. Your new area manager, Alexandra gave us outstanding service as well. She answered all of our questions, suggested sights to see, restaurants and helped us organize our transfer back to Halifax.”

“I was suprised by the beautiful and different vistas I experienced each day. Incredible roadways; reminded me of quality of French back roads. The restaurant Inn on the Twenty in Jordan was incredible. Hard to believe such a sleepy village has such a high-end establishment.”

“The Ontario landscape was delightful. The Ontario weather was perfect. The Canadian people were marvelous. All in all this was one of my BEST self-guided tours. Thanks much.”

“We returned on Sunday and wanted you to know that we had an amazing trip! The accommodations were fantastic, the scenery was breathtaking, Steve (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. The accommodations in Niagara Falls, Port Colborne and Jordan were fabulous. We would stay at any one of those places again.The service provided by your office and the area manager was very good and speedy. The overall experience was excellent. This was one of the best vacations ever. We’ll definitely travel with Randonnee again. Thanks for great time.”

Very good experience overall, good advices for lunch spots, very nice accommodations – hotel in Soller was our favorite, nice itinerary. This was not our first tour with you and each time we are highly satisfied with your accommodation choices.

Staff were knowledgeable & helpful. Info provided was excellent. Routes along the rivers, taking in castles & chateaus were excellent. This was our 8th self-guided tour & we were very satisfied.

“The pre-tour information was very good especially the historical and cultural background information; the accommodations were excellent, great food and nice people. The area manager was excellent.”

Years ago, we made the mistake of booking with a local outfit in another region of France thinking we could save some money. The roads they had us on were busy, and route instructions impossible to follow. We are glad to have found Randonnee. Everything was perfect this trip. We’ll be back.

This was the perfect tour for our family. The kids loved the castles, and we felt safe on the roads you chose, especially enjoyed the cycling paths along the Loire River. I think the kids favorite moment was the chocolate tasting you suggested in Amboise. Tony I LOVED Domaine Tortiniere- thank you for suggesting the upgrade.

The scenery on the back roads was wonderful. We were pleased that the luggage was always at the next destination with no issues.

The info package sent prior to the trip with the water bottle was complete, as was the pre-trip information sent by email. Very helpful in planning and packing for the trip. Great job! We used many of the restaurants you suggested. And the routes were a nice mixture of backroads, cycle paths, etc. Very scenic and enjoyable.

Everything was great. We loved the wonderful villages and countryside, seeing places we would never see otherwise. The Area Manager was just lovely.

As we approach the end of our trip, I am writing to you to express our thanks for a wonderful trip you all organized for us. We ended our last hike today in the beautiful trail from Ravello to Minori. All trails selected were wonderful with breathtaking views. Each trail had its own magic and beauty.
I would like to recognize the excellent, knowledgeable Mila, Michele and Maurizio. Michele is so much fun and a wealth of information. A wonderful sense of humor!
The hike with Maurizio was particularly special – he made it an unforgettable day and paced the hike in a way that was good for everyone.
All arrangements were flawless and the bags reached the destination with no hickups.
We received the best attention at all the hotels with rooms with wonderful views. The staff greated us in a warm welcoming manner. I do not remember their names as they were all helpful and friendly.
Thank you all!

The first accommodation (Caesar Augustus) is the most amazing property I have ever seen, and I regret that I didn’t have more time to enjoy it. Anna was tremendous, our walk with her was very special.

Honestly, it was far more than I could have imagined. The entire trip was magical. The hikes were spectacular and sufficiently challenging, with great views or cafes for rewards. The hotels were wonderful and service was great.

This was a wonderful trip – the same type of beautiful towns and great accommodations we have had in past trips and better than some of our past experiences as far as hiking directions.

“Can’t believe how beautiful Ireland is. Beautiful routes and we lucked out on the weather.”

“Gorgeous landscapes and roads on which to ride”

“The hotel and restaurants were better than I expected — high quality.”

“I liked it all! The ride, food and sights were amazing. Especially the ride down the side of the mountain near Podstine. I wish I had a GoPro camera for that ride!”

“Had no prior expectations, blew everything out of the water from what I imagined”

“Loved Tuscany. Some beautiful hotels. Great group of friends. Just some lovely memories.”

Trip was fantastic, we were a family of 8 including a 8 month baby. The trip was very organized and geared to our
family. It was evident a lot of planning went into this trip to make it special and we really appreciated the attention to
all the details that made it memorable for all of us.

“The Islands were breathtaking!”

“The cycling was lovely with beautiful scenery. It was a little harder than I had anticipated with many more steep hills. I live in a hilly area and thought I was prepared but not prepared enough. I loved the wide open vistas along some of the routes. I also loved the bike trail we did, the Tomifobia. The covered bridges and the little farms we wonderful. The hotels were superb. We enjoyed the visit to the monastery and the chanting monks. We also visited a lavender farm and cheese factory and enjoyed them both. The bikes were excellent. We also had no technical issues. Our luggage was always at the next hotel, waiting for us.”

The location was absolutely gorgeous. The food was exceptional. My husband liked the hiking and seeing the sites visitors don’t usually see.

I would return to Umbria and Puglia in a heart beat!

“Best vacation ever! Beautiful country filled with history and very welcoming people.”

“I LOVED this trip and can’t wait to do another!!”

“I LOVED the biking….it was beautiful and we were lucky with the weather. Croatia ia a beautiful country and the routes were quiet…not a lot of traffic …the group was great, great energy”

Bike was just like mine at home. I was very comfortable with it and it was in very good shape…I felt very spoiled every night at dinner. We ate like royalty!

Such a lovely country…its people and being able to enjoy all this by biking.

“I loved it all!”

This trip to Normandy was our 5th with Randonnee, and actually my favorite. I loved the variety and richness of experience, from beaches to countryside, spas and ports. Seeing the Bayeux Tapestry and the D Day beaches was history filled with emotion. And Cabourg. where the French seem to detox themselves, decked out in white terrycloth dawn to dusk, all in the shadow of Marcel Proust, was, shall we say… a trip!

We were very well accommodated by the agents in the process of trip planning. Replies by email and phone were expedient and very helpful. Friendly and knowledgeable people at Randonnee. Thank you. The accommodations exceeded our expectations.

“We really enjoyed the trip. Lots of fun-met my needs-close by, same time zone, not too hot, not too crowded, peaceful. Accommodations were all magnificent, Hastings House was stunning! We enjoyed good food all around. The Sat Market in Salt Spring was fun. Ferries were fun.”

“We had a wonderful family bike tour through the Canadian Rockies. We thought the route was perfect. Canmore was especially beautiful and well worth the extra day. Then as we rode into Banff and Lake Louise, we began to appreciate the wildlife, the mountains, the ever-changing weather and the natural beauty of the Canadian Rockies. We highly recommend people take time to hike to the Tea House at Lake Louise. Even though it was raining, the change of pace and breathtaking vistas provided us a refreshing and meditative interlude.There aren’t enough adjectives to describe the ascents over the two summits. Again, thanks for the support and all that you provide. We couldn’t have had a better bike trip. We’ll be looking for another adventure for next summer.”

“Beautiful country…my first bike trip….exceeded my expectations on all fronts….knowledge provided on the extras was informative, very pleasant, open and engaging!”

“We have done almost 30 bike trips since 1992 and this has to be rated the most enjoyable.”

This tour was pretty easy and beautiful. The routes Randonnée chooses are great – small quiet back roads. The self-guided tours are great, this was my second one. Amboise and Azay Le Rideau hotels were outstanding.

“Perfect way to visit these lovely islands (Gulf) in a very friendly and beautiful scenery setting. We enjoyed very much the places where we stayed.”

“A+- a memorable family trip”

“The cycling, weather, acommodations, and food were all better than expected.”

“Very relaxing and great countryside to ride through. Would do it again.”

Everything was great. We loved the wonderful villages and countryside, seeing places we would never see otherwise. The Area Manager was just lovely.
