Asia & Oceania

This was an excellent tour. We learned a great deal about Vietnam and saw parts of the country that you could only see and visit on a bicycle. The trip was very well organized and the guides were outstanding.

We enjoyed all aspects of our SE Asia tour and were most fortunate to complete it before the Covid worldwide pandemic. All the hotels were first rate. All meals were most enjoyable and we enjoyed the Vietnam beer options. Our guides did a great job and knew the territory. A highlight was the evening Vespa tour of downtown Saigon. Biking was an excellent way to see the back roads of Vietnam; definitely not strenuous as we skipped the uphill segment near Danang. Only suggestion for improvement would be split Saigon visit to two days sightseeing in city, then one night on biking routes to avoid the long and congested commute in and out of the city. Many thanks to our guides!! Hope they are weathering the viral scourge.

We had an incredible time on our VBT multi-sport adventure to New Zealand. This was our third VBT trip. New Zealand is a special place and our guides, Jan, Josie and Broni brought magic to the tour. Their knowledge of the country, the people and the natural beauty of the South Island so enhanced our trip. If you like to hike, bike and kayak, enjoy good wine and great beer, fresh seafood, and love the natural beauty, amazing landscapes and warm friendly people, this is the trip to take.

We very much enjoyed the diversity of activities that VBT offered, the beautiful South Island and our wonderful guides. We have previously traveled to NZ but this VBT trip allowed us to experience the diversity of the South Island. Everyone we encountered was friendly and welcoming.
