With boat-based itineraries consistently ranking among its most popular trips year after year, European active holiday specialist UTracks has announced a series of new additions for summer 2020, from the meandering rivers of Burgundy to the lesser-known Saronic Islands in Greece…

Burgundy Bike and Barge NEW FOR 2020

As you cycle each day you will soak up the beauty of the region, while sampling some of the best ciders, cheeses, honey and of course wines – after all, Burgundy has the highest number of ‘appellations d’origine contrôlée’ in France!
