Tour de France Tour operators

[martc101]

Hi, I am investigating possible tour companies for a package tour of the Alps stages of next year’s le Tour.
I have received the information for Healthwise active http://hwactivetravel.com/events/cyclin ... vence-alps" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Thomson’s http://www.thomsonbiketours.com/trips/T ... cling.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and
Peloton tours http://www.pelotoncyclingtours.com/index.php?page_id=37" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
and wondered if anyone has had experience of touring with any of these operators.
I was also looking at some of the local French companies:
Cyclomundo http://www.cyclomundo.com/alps_gfy.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and
Discover France http://tour-de-france-tours.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
and wondered if anyone has had an experience of using French based operators for the Tour.
Welcome any reviews or suggestions
Cheers.

Bikestyle tours ... I hear the guides are pretty damn good .

I just did a tour through the French Alps with Thomson, would recommend them without hesitation. Ran a fantastic tour.

Edit: it wasnt a tdf tour though.

I've just signed up with Thomson's bike tours for next year. Doing both their Pyrenees & Alps Tours. Lucky I have 8 months to get fit!

Hi, this is Toni Folque, representing Thomson Bike Tours in Australia. Just moved from Barcelona to south of Sydney recently so
to make sure more aussies join our great and challenging tours. Whitey, were you with me and Peter in the Alps or
with Eric and Sergi?
