Europe

VBT never disappoints. This was my 4th trip with VBT and it was fantastic. Our guides Oriol and Martin were outstanding. Loved the visit to the Dali Museum and came away with a new appreciation for his work. The landscapes were beautiful and the visit to the cider company was fun. The post trip in Mallorca was a pleasure.

This was a perfect trip...Seamless. My 8th VBT bicycling trip and all were good but this one was exceptional because our leaders were exceptional. Great biking, great cultural events and guided tours, wonderful food, very cohesive group of 22 guests who really liked each other every single day. Bravo Javi and Andrea..I hope we meet again!

Great trip! Our guides were great hosts and made sure everyone was safe, comfortable, and getting the most out of each day. Gorgeous part of the world.

This was our first VBT vacation and we have already registered for a second trip. Provence and the Alpilles is a beautiful region of France with abundant fruits, vegetables and other agriculture. The bicycle travel through the French countryside gives an up-close and personal travel experience.

Enjoyed this trip to Portugal. Good mix of easy and moderate riding to work off the fantastic food/beverages.

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.

I have wanted to visit the Nordic countries since 1974 when I was an exchange student in Europe. Thank you, VBT, for finally making it an affordable destination! As always, the travel arrangements were seamless, the leaders were phenomenal, and the experience was second to none!

Enjoyed the variety of sights and rides. The guides were awesome and knew alot about the culture and history of Scandinavia. I apprecaietd the variety of skills the guides demonstrated in biking, tending to guests, history, and every aspect of ensuring the trip was enjoyable for al. l

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour leaders Lucy, Dan and Jago. They did a wonderful job of herding us around, anticipating and working within and outside of our schedule. Our fellow travelers were the best group we've had the fortune to meet. Good lodgings with character and spectacular food everyplace we ate. Loved the scenery and historic sites I got to visit. My only reason for fewer than 5 stars is that I would not rate this ride Easy/Moderate. It had more than just rolling hills and lots of traffic on narrow roads. I really appreciated that the leaders did modify our routes on the fly to help mitigate the traffic, and kept our bikes tuned in tip top shape.

It was a beautiful trip, well paced with excellent guides. We were lucky with the weather so our photos are great. The Cotswolds did not disappoint with their charm; Oxford and Bath were educations in history.

My wife and I recently returned from an incredible VBT biking adventure through Switzerland and France, exploring Lake Geneva, Annecy, and the stunning Valley of the Alps. From start to finish, the trip was beautifully organized and exceeded our expectations. Our guides, Philippe and Luigi, were outstanding—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the regions we explored. Each day was filled with fascinating insights, local stories, and just the right amount of fun. They created a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made the entire group feel like family. The daily bike rides were absolutely breathtaking, offering a perfect balance of challenge and enjoyment. Riding through alpine valleys, lakeside paths, and charming villages was a dream come true. Lake Annecy was a particular highlight—the ride around the lake and our visit to the town were unforgettable. We especially loved the first two hotels, which were both comfortable and full of character, adding to the charm of the experience. And the food—wow! Every meal was a delight, showcasing the best of Swiss and French cuisine. This trip was the perfect blend of adventure, culture, and relaxation. We’re already thinking about our next VBT journey!

Biking was easy. Guides were great. Really enjoyed pre trip and post trip

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!

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.

Beautiful routes, great hotels! The train ride into Switzerland was stunning. The amount and difficulty of the rides were well balanced to allow for a good experience of the countryside while leaving enough reserves to be able to enjoy time off the bike, exploring the towns where we stayed. Guides were knowledgeable and very friendly/supportive. It was a really nice way to see a sizeable region! Una vacanza molta buona!!!!

The ride through this area is very scenic and beautiful. It's an easy route that almost anyone could participate in. We had the enabled bicycles, which made the rides very enjoyable.

Excellent ride along the river, up into the countryside, and along vineyards and orchards. Oh, and can't forget all the castles and Abbeys! Easy riding, scenic, great food along the way, and the Hotels were perfectly chosen for location, beauty, comfort! Every bit of the trip was amazing.

Great trip well organized. Great accommodations.
