Greece

The experience with VBT went beyond expectations as did the part of Greece where we cycled. The Peloponnesian Peninsula is a relatively undiscovered biking jewel, I enjoyed it far more than biking various Greek Islands. Accommodations were excellent and Greek food speaks for itself. VBT and the guides went out of their way in providing a 5 star experience. The bikes were new and top quality, the routes were varied and interesting. The guides bent over backwards to please us and provide a great biking as well as cultural experience.

This VBT trip does not disappoint! The attention to detail for every visit and experience was remarkable. I live in the mid-west and don't have many hills to train on so these rides were challenging for me, but doable and once I was done I felt very satisfied. The accommodations were all different and great in their own way. The guides were energetic and informative. I highly recommend this tour - it's a great way to see Greece!

Fascinating ancient sites to visit, including some UNESCO sites, beautiful walks thru varied topography and flora, delicious food and comfortable lodgings, and terrific guides who know the area, weave history and myths into the walks and have patience and a sense of humor. What could be better?

This was our fourth Country Walkers tour over ten years, and arguably the best yet, due to our absolutely delightful, intelligent, responsive, and JUST PLAIN FUN tour leaders Katerina and Thalia. The itinerary and venues visited were interesting and varied, the accommodations were fine, the range of walking and hiking experiences excellent, and the pace of the trip seemed just right. Unless you've already had an opportunity to visit Athens, I would also recommend the pre-tour, which while self-gulded, was critical to allow encountering destinations like the Acropolis and new Acropolis Museum, the Benaki, and spend time absorbing the vibe of Greece's amazing largest city, it's markets, food, and genuinely friendly people. But back to our tour leaders Katerina and Thalia - they were the super secret sauce that will make this trip stand out in our memories for years to come!
