Enjoy fresh air, tranquil waters, emerald meadows, dotted with sheep and heather clad hillsides. Sightseeing by foot deepens an appreciation of lakeland history and landscapes and glorious countryside.

  • Cycling the Vineyards of France & Med Cruise

    Visiting: France and Mediterannean

    Overview:
    A real delight to be able to take your time and cycle through the French countryside of the Loire Valley for 5 days, enjoying the wonderful views, the fresh air and meet the locals.  The cycling is easy, and mainly flat as we cycle through villages and vineyards.  We stay in smaller family owned and operated hotels, all very comfortable.  A real feast for foodies too as we sample the local fare and wines after a day in the country.  The rides are averaging about 35kms each day, which is about 3 hours of cycling. We will have plenty of time to wander around the villages and take in the spectacular scenery.
    At the conclusion of the Cycle tour we then travel to Monte Carlo where we join our cruise ship, the Seabourn Legend.  On board we really sit back and relax as we cruise from Monte Carlo to Rome.  Small luxury cruising allows us to visit ports not normally accessible by the larger ships.
