Bike Trip from Marseille, France to Barcelona, Spain Cycle Marseille to BarcelonaBarbara and Rob, Canada, Sep 2026
This trip was a dream come true. It was beyond my expectations. Ethan took over from Isabelle half way through our planning and handled the balance of our questions well. Explore was a great pick for Global Journeys to choose. Explore's pick on the bikes was great, they were very good quality and very comfortable. Thank you Nature Bike. Our guide, read more Pablo and his side kick David were great and could be rated 20 out of 10. They were the best we could have asked for. They were over the top friendly, professional, and lovely people. They made the trip so pleasant. Always caring about each rider and stressed safety and was detailed about the itinerary. The lunches were extremely good and it was such a highlight to see David ready for us. He was so very helpful with our bikes and our luggage.
The route was amazing, so diverse and had a lot of variety. Paths were perfect. The challenge was perfect. The cozy hotels and towns we stopped in were lovely, just perfect. The people in our group were a perfect match for us. When you see advertisements for this trip, they are so true, it is even better than the ads. Thank you Explore for the amazing guide, Pablo and our driver and lunch maker David. We were the luckiest to have them both. The scenery and views along the Mediterranean sea was spectacular. We loved the towns that were chosen to stay at and the coffee stops were so cool. The beaches were beautiful but we wish we could have had a little more time at them. I would definitely recommend Explore.
Pablo and David were the best! Pablo was our biking guide. He took us to all the great places. Stopped at small village for coffee and overnight. Pable kept us safe. He explained our route, and any safety measures we needed. He was very patient, kind, and tons of fun. We were able to swim at the best beaches. He knew what he was doing. The read more pace was good. He was a hoot! and the best guide! David carried our gear and made the most wonderful picnic lunches ever! Great salads and wonderful, fancy, delicous food. David was so fun and upbeat and played music for us when we arrived. He fed us so well and the wine was great too. So fun. Pablo and David are the best and, if ever we could do this again, we would want the two of them again. Their friendship with each other was amazing. Such a great trip!
