We had a really brilliant experience with Vélos Verts and would 100% recommend them. We hired two bikes for 7 days, and used the baggage transfer service. The bikes were really good. I would recommend the ‘trekking’ style bikes for their wide range of easy-to-use gears and fantastic brakes. The luggage transfer worked flawlessly even though our requirements were not completely straightforward. The staff were friendly and responsive. It was a complete pleasure.

We rented three bikes for five days. Staff was very helpful in solving some small details. We rode almost 250 km, and we had no problems with the bikes. We also paid for the luggage transportation, luggage was always on time at our hotel. We highly recommend their services.

We picked up bikes in Blois and returned in Tours 4 days later.
The staff at pickup were very friendly and helpful, encouraging a test ride down the street to make sure we were happy with the bikes & configuration.
We had to swap the tail lights (out of battery) but it wasn't a problem. We recommend checking the equipment to ensure you're happy.
We would use this service again!

We rented four “non-electric” bicycles to pick up in the city of Blois, and one more that we collected in Amboise.
The part of contacting the shop and renting the bicycles went smoothly. There were no communication problems, everything was correct, and the price was good.
We completed the process through their website, and it was very easy.
The possibility of picking up the bicycles at one point and dropping them off at another is a very good service.
In our case, we collected three of them in Blois and one more in Amboise to returned them in Tours.
When we picked up the bicycles, we didn’t have time to check them together with the shop assistant, as there were quite a few people at that moment and he was very busy. We looked them over briefly ourselves and set off.
As the kilometers went by, we realized that the bicycles were not very well adjusted and we had some issues with the gear shifting. Luckily, we were able to sort it out by ourselves.
I have to say that the bicycles were a bit old and not very well maintained… they would definitely benefit from some improvement in that respect.
On the other hand, I believe the price was very competitive.
One point to improve was the collection of the fourth bicycle in the town of Amboise. In this case, we had to pick it up at a hotel, since there was no shop available. This was not a problem in principle, but the hotel reception staff who were supposed to assist us simply sent us to a garage next to the hotel to take whichever one we wanted. I didn’t find that to be the best way of handling it. On top of that, we had to take care of inflating the tires ourselves, etc. In other words, the bicycle was reserved but not prepared.
Overall, the experience was good with some positive points, but also others that could be improved.
In general, I would recommend renting from this shop.
But I would encourage the shop managers to take our comments into account.

We rented bikes around the 3rd week of September. Everyone was very helpful, as we made and paid for our reservation during the summer. My husband did not want to ride in the rain, so we returned our bikes to where we rented them in Blois and took a train to Amboise. We were NOT refunded any funds forturning the bikes in early or for bike transfer from Amboise back to Blois which really suprised me. LESSON LEARNED...don't bother making reservations for bike rental out of peak season. There are plenty of shops that will rent bikes in the Loire Valley.
