England

Self-Guided tour with my friend, it was amazing, Ride-with-GPS was perfect, did not get lost anywhere. Ride Inn to Inn, picturesque villages, stone houses, just like Downtown Abbey. Felt very safe every day, Pubs and food were delicious. We had no problem with our bikes, it was a perfect trip! Note there was no leaders on this Self-Guided tour but the VBT local host that set up our bikes and make sure our luggage was delivered at every Inn was great, very helpful and friendly.

Great trip, lovely hotels, wonderful towns, villages, pubs and countryside. It was like riding through a storybook.

A wonderful adventure for this first time VBT traveler! Seamless travel support from start to finish. While some accommodations were more quaint than we are used to, they provided fine service. The scenery and villages were wonderful and worth the sometimes challenging routes (traffic and some significant hills) - an e-bike might be a good option for anyone who does not routinely take long rides on hilly terrain. Our guides were skilled and took good care to ensure safe travel. Great trip!

This was our fifth VBT guided bike tour and it was another great experience. Our guides Jago, Lucy, and Dan were exceptional each in their own unique way. Despite and unusual heat and general lack of air conditioning in this part of England the accommodations, were all interesting and charming. The scenery was beautiful and the local pubs were great fun. We chose to ride road bikes and the tire size and gearing were appropriate. The tow path section would have been better suited for a hybrid or Ebike but we feel most comfortable on road bikes. In general I would rate the riding difficulty of this trip a notch up from our other easy/moderate trips due to the road conditions and climbs. Our training before the trip paid off. As has always been our experience the others in our group were incredibly nice and interesting folks.
