Portugal

Great week of biking, wine and dining - perfect!

The trip was a perfect way to visit southern Portugal. The guides were awesome, always there to lend a hand or offer guidance. The bikes were outstanding - brand new fleet. The routes were interesting and scenic with little traffic. The food and wine were great. And above all the opportunity to spend time with old friends and to meet new friends was rewarding. Thanks

Beautiful locales and local dining

This was our first VBT vacation. We were very impressed with the planning, accommodations, and route. It was a wonderful experience to bike along country roads with guides who knew the area. The hotels were lovely and the meals were delicious. Everything was top-notch.

Portugal: Porto, the Silver Coast & Lisbon

The VBT tour of Portugal's Silver Coast

Portugal is a beautiful country. On this self-guided cycling trip, we got the best of rural, urban and coastal scenery. The accommodations were always very good, and breakfasts were included. Our bikes had 27 speeds, and we definitely needed the granny gear for the hills. The two included dinners were also very nice.

Spain & Portugal: Coastal Camino de Santiago

What a Great Tour!

We thoroughly enjoyed our first VBT experience. The tour route was very well laid out and we cannot not say enough about how impressive our tour leaders, David and Frederico, both of whom are natives of Portugal. Kudos to VBT for the way they planned and conducted our tour!

Well done!

Excellent support of Manuel/ David. Timo was a hoot. Only one day was over planned. Recommend separate events ( hieroglyphics visit)

Portugal & Spain Bike & River Cruise: Douro Valley

New Douro Valley Bike/Boat Tour

What an amazing trip! The Douro Valley was nothing short of magical. Cannot recommend this trip highly enough. The bike-boat experience was phenomenal (Emerald Cruises was top notch) and the Portuguese VBT leaders and entire boat crew made it an unforgettable experience. The exposure to the historical culture and centuries-old commerce along the Douro were a highlight. Bravo VBT

Camino Hiking Trip

The itinerary for this trip was very well thought out. The local guides, Diego and Pol, were beyond great. I would rate this trip as moderate, but you could elect to skip portions of the hikes to make it easier. The accommodations along the Camino were originally monasteries. The trip was so much fun. Thank you, Diego and Pol.

Hope,

Great time on the Camino!

This is a wonderful trip with wonderful guides! It gives you a taste of what it would be like to walk one of the Caminos in its' entirety - I hope to go back and do that one day!

Portugal: Minho & the Douro Valley

Porto to Lisbon

Wonderful trip. Guides, Luis and Helena were excellent. Our group of 16 were all compatible. Aside of the countryside walks and hikes, there were a number of surprises that added some great experiences to the trip.
