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

Great trip
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.

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.

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

5 Star Trip
Portugal was our 11th VBT trip and 12th biking trip. It was the best or at least equal to our other great trips. The guides were the best ever and the hotels , especially the Farm House, were excellent. The biking was challenging at times but very good overall. We highly recommend the trip and very much want to return to Portugal. Great food, great wine and a beautiful country. We felt very safe on the roads and highways as Portugal drivers are very courteous to bikers. Absolutely nothing to complain about and as with all VBT trips, a great value.

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!

ONE OF OUR FAVORITES
This was one of our favorite VBT trips! The lovely area, the relaxed pace, the guides, the accommodations were top notch. We had a very congenial group of people which was small (only 8 people). The e-bikes made this trip possible for us and we look forward to doing more easy/moderate rides. The guides, Will and Dan couldn't have been more accommodating, fun and helpful always looking out for our safety and comfort.

Beautiful Trip in a Great Area!
This was a great trip! Loved riding on the small country roads without much traffic. My first time to ride an ebike really helped with my enjoyment of the trip. I wasn't tired at the end of the day. I wasn't able to train enough before the trip so the ebike made the trip fun! Guides Tony and Mick were knowledgeable and helpful. Loved finding out about the history of the area.

Six fantastic days of biking
Six fantastic days of biking! This was our first ever bike trip and we thoroughly enjoyed every part of it. We were very lucky to have such perfect sunny days that were book-ended by rain. We loved the two gals that led the tour...they were "over the top" in every way! I had never been on an E bike, but quickly took to it and now want one of my own. I still felt that I got a lot of exercise ...just loved it. Every morning the bike would be ready with a bike bag and fresh water with lemon and the helmet. The hotels were all top notch also. This particular trip has amazing scenery, so it was very lucky that clouds didn't obscure the magnificent peaks. Will definitely try another trip!

Switzerland and France: Lake Geneva,alpine valleys
The Switzerland and France tour provided an opportunity to see the breathtaking scenery of Alpine valleys and experience the land on mostly excellent dedicated bike paths. The starting point Chamonix was impressive, although travel there, without a biking opportunity, seemed atypical. There were several very long bus transfers that took away from the experience. There also were no planned interactions with local people, such as winery or farmhouse experiences, that were a normal part of past tours I've taken.

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.

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!

This was my first cycling vacation, so my first with VBT and it exceeded all my expecations. I did it with friends who had done a number of VBT tours and it was an exceptional experience. The guides, Giovanni and Angelo, were amazing in every regard; helpful, knowledgeable, personable and very engaging. The routes were magnificent, the hotel and restaurant choices brilliant and the connections to buses, ferries and trains all well organized and on time. The bikes and other equipment were fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the experience. Big thanks to Giovanni and Angelo...you guys rocked!
