Hiking Tour of Provence & the French Riviera CME
An amazing, well-organized trip, pretty much exactly as advertised. The guides worked very hard and were super nice to boot. The chosen hotels and restaurants were all excellent… Fabulous hiking trip, with amazing guides, sights, food and wine.
Superlatives fail me. This was a trip that exceeded my expectations in every way. The guides were brilliant, and my admiration for them is boundless. The hikes were terrific. Laurent took us to places that were areas we might have never discovered without him, and he made the hikes fabulous with his knowledge and general charming personality and humor. We saw lovely medieval towns and ate incredibly well.

Would you consider traveling with Bio Bio Expeditions again? If so, which trips interest you most?
Yes! The hiking/trekking trips.
The trip exceeded my expectations. I had an incredible experience. What made this trip so wonderful is that I got to enjoy the many of the facets that make Provence so remarkable. Each of the hikes revealed a different section of the stunning beauty that is Provence. Each bend in the trail revealed a more stunning vista than before. But, what made the trip exceptional is that our guides introduced us to the culture and cuisine of the area. The dining selections were fabulous, the little villages we visited were sublime in their beauty and character. The wonderful people we met along the way only enhanced the experience.

I wouldn’t change a thing. But, if there would be a way to include a hike along the Cap Canaille and spend an extra day in Cassis.

Absolutely. Torres del Paine and many others.
