Canada

The scenery was incredible, especially at the 3 places where we stayed during the trip. The trip leaders were excellent and very attentive to the group. The additional excursions, kayaking, Butchart Gardens, a visit to a cheese farm, wine and cider tasting were a lot of fun. I would have classified the biking as moderate, the 1st 3 days were quite hilly but I did improve my cycling skills.

Just a caution to those of you who think that you can sign up for an electric bike to cover the fact that you have not ridden in a couple of years or much at all. Wrong. Day 3 of this trip has 3 or 4 10%+ climbs....E1 bikes require a pedal assist so BOOM...down go the unconditioned E bike riders. Its unfortunate but a sign of the times....the gentrification of VBT with inexperienced unconditioned riders on E bikes. Why 5 stars then?..because for the prepared rider, regardless of bike type, the phenomenal scenery & excellent guides make this an outstanding trip!

I am a 'rookie; with VBT having completed my first trip to the Canadien Rockies. I had a wonderful time with the leaders and all the bikers. Te scenery and cycling were breathtaking. The meals and camarderie with our guides made for a very enjoyable time. Experience the wonder of the great outdoors in the Canadian Rockies! You will have the time of your life.

This was an amazingly beautiful ride with stunning mountains, lakes, waterfalls and guides. The food was exceptional incuding the picnics the guides prepared for us. I ride alone and feel completely comfortable and well taken care of (if needed).
