Cycling through the narrow roads of the Burgandy vineyards was simply magical. The routes are chosen specifically to avoid cars, and it feels like you're rolling through a picture perfect landscape. If you enjoy wine, this is an extraordinary opportunity to learn about all the classic wines of France. Hotels are luxurious.. Meals are Michelin starred. We travelled at the end of May, so the vines were green, the flowers everywhere, and it was rainy one day out of six. Temps were cool.

...an extraordinary week of biking in beauty, surrounded by once-strangers and now-friends. Our trip leaders, Anne-Laure, Vera, and Julia created a space and experience for us all to share and, as a group, to grin and as often laugh our way across Burgundy. 10/10.

This trip had a bit of everything. Long days of somewhat challenging biking, very nice hotels, Michelin star restaurants and so much fun. Burgundy area is beautiful with an abundance of history, beauty and vey authentic people who love the area and bring it to life. Plus the wine. Great trip.

Leaders were very friendly. Energetic. Accommodating. Great sense of humor.

Could not be any happier with the experience. Backroads has the best people.

Our Backroads trip was truly one of a kind. The attention to detail and time put in to curating a genuinely unique experience was noticed by everyone on the trip. The leaders were so very knowledgeable, patient and took the experience to the next level. I can't wait to take another trip with Backroads!

The scenery, bike routes, hotels, and food were simply unparalleled. I cannot say enough good things about the guides. They were outstanding, and a ton of fun!

The 6 day trip included 18-42 miles a day of biking, for us, 5 days in a row. (There were longer options for more avid cyclists). Beautiful variety of scenery from fields of cows to forests to canal trails to small historic towns to vineyards. Hardly any traffic to deal with. I'd been a little concerned ahead of time as we are not regular enough cyclists and have some knee/back issues. The fantastic e-bikes made the difference (so much lighter than the ones we own and have rented in past), great navigation system so we felt totally comfortable biking at our own pace without having to be with a group, great support for anything, including regular snack/water stops. The lodging and meals were wonderful. Especially the Abbey! And the farm lunch. Friendly, helpful, fun guides and friendly, interesting fellow guests. Of course the sunny weather made the trip too. This is a pretty fast paced trip, with daily 830 am bike departures, late dinners. Kept us on our toes. Our first Backroads trip but not our last.

Backroads really knows how to put together a biking trip. We loved our leaders who went out of their way to make our experience the best! The accommodations were wonderful as was the food. Backroads took care of everything. It was so nice to not have to worry about any of the details. Every day was a new adventure...even down to the snacks they provided on our breaks!

I loved every single moment of this trip. We had spectacular cycling, amazing food and wine, fantastic guides, and unbelievably wonderful accommodations. Plus, the trip included some very educational tours of castles and wine-tasting!
