Azur Vélo Avis 13

Riding with Diana’s team at Azur Vélo was the highlight of my time on the French Riviera. From the very start, her communication was clear and professional, and the logistics were effortless. All I had to do was show up and ride.

Over four days, Diana’s team guided me through legendary climbs — Col de Braus, Col de Turini, and Col de la Madone. At the summit of Turini, I felt something I’ll never forget; gratitude for the opportunity to ride these roads, and to be surrounded by such stunning scenery. That moment wouldn’t have happened without their expert guidance.

What makes Azur Vélo special is not just their professionalism, but their passion. They know every detail of the terrain and tailor the experience to the rider. They bring a warmth and personal touch that transforms a great ride into a lifetime memory.

If you want world-class cycling on the Riviera with a guide who combines skill, heart, and hospitality, look no further than Diana and her team at Azur Vélo.

Dolomites Magical Tour with Azur Velo.
I have ridden many tours in France and Italy and rate Azur Velo's Dolomite's Magical Tour as one of the best. Diana and Mike were great ride leaders, ably assisted by Ross and Julian. Diana is kind and considerate. Having watched Mike many times at Col Colective, it was fun to ride with him, or more accurately, to be on the same ride! One of them was there whenever you needed help or food and drink. The hotels and food were excellent and the whole tour was well organized. The scenery and weather in the Dolomites and Alps made this a most memorable trip. Thanks Azur Velo!

Diana is simply the best. I have completed 2 amazing cycling vacations with her: The first in Nice, and the second in the Dolomites. They were both extraordinary. From the clear and timely communication to the food in the van on the side of the road, Azur Velo lets you focus on the ride and not the logistics.

The AzurVelo team is just amazing - Diana has arranged day trips to various parts of the Nice backland for me on several occasions- always with care for details, riders level - truly bespoke trips leveraging her own and her team’s waste knowledge of the area. Today she had together with Alex W from her team planned a beautiful ride from Vence over Mont Boron to Col de la Madone - Alex W an amazing coach and rider - attentive, pleasant to talk to (which makes a difference when you are on 5h+ bike ride together) and with the local knowledge (incl the small but important things such as “let’s take this back road instead, less traffic”..). I strongly recommend AzurVelo - professional, engaged, attentive to detail and simply lovely persons to spend time with.

My husband & I just came back from the Le Tour 24 cycling holiday in Nice... An amazing experience! Our trip leaders & support (Diana, Mike & Julian) were outstanding in every way. The week was well organized, great routes, fabulous food & wine, nice hotel on the sea, great attention to detail with expert local knowledge. Huge bonus to have laundry services! And what an incredible experience to ride & watch the last 2 days of the TdF! Would highly recommend Azur Velo & The Col Collective for your next cycling holiday!

Azur Velo handled every detail of our trip to Nice and it was fantastic- transportation, lodging, meals and activities. The team at Azur Velo demonstrated deep local knowledge of the area by selecting great locations for events and managing a very complex schedule of activities for us and our group. Most importantly they were incredibly nice and attentive to our needs. Highly recommend them for cycling or other trips to the cote d'azure.

The professionalism, care & love for the cyclists and their guests was without comparison. The entire Azur Velo staff deserves incredibly high recognition for their tireless efforts!

Our family looks forward to any cycling trip with them soon.

This was an amazing cycling trip. Diana and Michael were perfect guides and gracious hosts. Every day was well planned and they were always supportive to every individual need from each of us. The trip also included activities for non-cycling companions which allowed my wife and I to spend a lovely time together in beautiful Nice, France.
Mike and Diana calm and friendly mannerism created a perfect team environment and our group quickly became a very cohesive and stress free team who supported and cheered each other.
The hotel accommodations were perfect and location was excellent. We could do all the rides right out of the hotel (after an expert briefing by Mike)
Due to Michael’s and Diana’s expertise we could ride up the Col de Braus and find a perfect location to watch Stage 20 of the Tour. The trip ended with a perfect day of watching the final stage at a nice VIP area.
I highly recommend The Azur Velo and The Col Collective as a guaranteed stress free cycling trip providers. I will be back for future trips with them.

Diana and her team were amazing hosts for the cyclist and even non-cyclist! It was a week to remember for sure!!
Highly recommend Azur VELO for the ultimate cycling adventure!

I’ve been on quite a few bike tours and no one pays attention to all the small details like Diana/Azure velo . Great scenery on curated routes and local knowledge to adjust in the fly. Go on extra routes, mountain top parks the big name providers don’t use. Top on route support and food choices. Serious picnic lunch; no peanut butter and jelly here ! This was the first time I’ld been on a tour where all the other riders were stronger, but never felt pressured . Accommodation choice was in great setting . Post ride dips in the Mediterranean not to be missed . Ask for an extra ride last morning ? Sure let’s go ! Good choices for non riding family made available . Diana and her staff just seem to be really nice genuine people. Folks you’ld be happy to have as neighbors . If you love to ride, this is an opportunity not to be missed ! It was pretty crazy as the Tour de France was in Nice the last two days, but everyone left with great memories. And enough photos to overload your phone memory .

If I could give Azur Velo more than five stars, I would. Our week with them was fabulous & I’d do a trip with them again, for sure. I’d highly recommend an excursion, event or trip with Diana and her team to anyone.

What a wonderful experience, I rode with a great group. So well organised for cycling in the best mountains. Support was brilliant, food and water stops were comfortable and well-timed. Food was tasty and plentiful. My wife joined the other non-cyclists and they were so friendly and went off exploring wine tasting tour and e-biking along the Cote d’Azur. Mike and Diana were the perfect hosts along with Julian.[
