Europe

Delightful Daliland

Enjoyed the bike ride, the small cities and towns, the archeological site at Empires and the trip leaders. A delightful corner of Spain.

Spain: Girona & Costa Brava

Scenery, riding history, art, food - it has it all

This was one of the best VBT tours we have taken. Food, riding, scenery, exploration of the art of Dali, wonderful guides and fantastic accommodations. Pre-trip in Barcelona is a must do to see the Gaudi architecture and Picasso museum as well as experience Catalonia at its best.

Provence is a Pleasure!

Bike routes were beautiful and enjoyable! Loved the town of St. Remy and the location of our hotel. Really enjoyed Avignon and again, the location of the hotel made exploring the city very easy.

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: Lisbon, Évora & the Algarve

A trip for the bucket list

As with all our VBT experiences Portugal did not disappoint. The trips are planned well from the time you take off from home until you land back at home. The transfers, the accommodations, and the in between are well thought out and planned. Any necessary changes are planned for. Portugal is tourist friendly, they are ahead of the curve with the pandemic, follow the rules. It is tough to find a bad meal, the weather was great; there is a lot of history. The cycling was easily doable for all who cycle 25 miles with some wind or hills. If you take only a few trips, make this one.

Great Biking & Interesting Cities

We've taken 16 VBT trips and the Scandinavia trip is definitely in the top two or three trips we've taken with them. Whoever laid this trip out really knew what they were doing. Great biking, three beautiful and most interesting cities: Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Helsinki, ferry ride experiences, the Stockholm Archipelago, great hotels, good food, incredible museums and wonderful guides who really knew the area and culture. This trip is one of VBT's very best and it won't surprise me to see it become their signature trip!

Picturesque, serene views with time to breathe

Nice trip on quiet rural roads with incredible views. Rolling countryside, lots of greenery, sheep with lambs, horse and beautiful fields. We had lovely weather, friendly guides and a great mix of people. This was my first trip with an e-biike, and i glad I had it for going up the hills.

Cycling in Switzerland and France with VBT

Wonderful route, well planned. Excellent and unique accommodations. The group leaders (Eve & Jean-Marc) were fun, well-organized and quickly responded to all needs.

Wonderful trip

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.

Greece: Sparta, Monemvasia & the Peloponnesian Peninsula

Gorgeous views, rewarding rides and delicious food

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!

Loved this trip!!

We can honestly say as experienced VBT travelers, the Lake Como & Lake District trip was one of the very best. The guides were top notch, the lakes and mountains were beautiful, the meals were delicious, and the hotels were outstanding. We enjoyed riding the ferry to arrive at some of our destinations. The Bernina train and subsequent bike ride to St. Moritz in Switzerland was an amazing day with beautiful views galore. This was our first experience using the e-bikes and we would choose them again in a heartbeat. We also enjoyed both the pre-trip and the post-trip, especially the village of Sirmione and the location of Hotel Ideal.

Italy......always a beautiful area!!

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.
