Very nice and good walk pleasant and informative, fluid and well prepared. - Excellent tour, documented but accessible, including the teens who were in the group with us. Suitable touring bike, easy to handle. Pace of the ride very nice, size of the group, a really relaxing formula, a new eye on the marsh compared to what is done by boat for example, as a couple, we found it super, exotic and informative. One of the best memories of activity this summer, simple, nature and efficient! To do. Thanks to Original bike tour.

Super balade - Great walk, accessible to all, in a green setting. Damien loves his region, and knows the marsh of yesterday and today and shares it not without humor. A space that must be protected. An experience to relive.

A great family moment with an amazing guide! - Damien is an amazing guide, very professional and very kind! He has a lot of knowledge that he enjoys sharing throughout the ride! The bikes are super comfortable, a very nice family hike with our girls 8 and 11 years old! We recommend Damien with your eyes closed to make you discover the history of the Marais Poitevin while pedalling!
