It was well worth it. Exhilarating. Saw some wonderful scenery. Eric was a very good driver and guide.

Loved it. Partly because we love the wind in our hair and also the scenery is beautiful. Also the arrangements were spot on and felt safe at all times

What fun it was to "fly" through the countryside, along the Paul Cezanne road, behind and alongside our seasoned rider, Kevin. He carefully wound around traffic and then up into the wooded hills below Mont Ste. Victoire, to give us a gorgeous view of the countrside. Seeing Cezanne's mill and the famous mountain he painted was a delightful plus. It was wonderful to get away from the city and Kevin was the perfect guide.

We booked for this activity and arrived at the venue at the right time. The provider did not show up. I contacted them and they said that they weren't on their computer so hadn't seen the booking. They offer for us to undertake the activity an hour late but unfortunately we had other commitments so couldn't start the activity an hour later.

A wonderful 'escape' on a beautiful vintage Ural motorcycle & sidecar. Eric was lovely, and shared lots of information about the region. The motorcycle trip was the highlight of my Aix-en-Provence holiday, which says a lot as every day was amazing. La belle échappée indeed! 😁☀️😎

Our morning tour with Eric - on the Route de Cézanne - was very memorable. Perfect weather and a great way to motor along country roads. Highly recommended.

Had an amazing time with Rick! Did this on our first day and it was a great introduction to the countryside. Beautiful foliage and surroundings. Rick couldn’t have been more accommodating. Highly recommend this.

What a great way to spend time in Aix! Eric, our driver, was fantastic. He took us on a beautiful route through country roads and lanes, stopped at photo-ops and views, and even a quick impromptu visit to a winery. Would definitely do again!

We took this tour as an introduction to the pronvencal countryside! We were not disappointed. What a treat! From the moment we hopped on to the bike/side car, to driving uphill via Rue Cezanne, our senses were incessantly immersed into the loveliness and sheer beauty of the Aix and surroundings area. Mount Ste Victoire, the bright red poppies, the gentle breeze, and the colossal history that's part of this region were almost overwhelming. Nice photo ops. Our guide, Eric was super friendly and knowledgeable about the area. He took pics for us! We will take this toor again if we visit Aix-en-Provence another time. Merci, Eric! Ted et Gisele
