Europe

I wasn't sure I would be able to do this ride. But I had no problem at all. I used an e-bike and kept up the group and had a ball! Everyone on the ride was wonderful and fun to be with. If you aren't sure you might be up for a ride thru Spain, think again. Anyone can do it using an e-bike. I can't wait to do my next trip!! Hum, where shall I go?

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

VBT has done it again. For over 20 years, my wife and I have been taking bicycle trips. We had long been hoping that VBT, our favorite tour company, would add a trip to Scandinavia. When we found out about this new trip last year, we signed up within days. It did not disappoint. Our leaders were friendly, knowledgeable and always ready to help. We had nice weather. Our mid-September departure had temperatures in the mid to upper 60s, and occasionally in the 70s. The rides were beautiful. We usually ride road bikes, but were glad to be on hybrids because there were some gravel surfaces and even a few miles of dirt road. The local people were a bit reserved, but quite friendly when approached. English is widely understood and spoken in Scandinavia. We chose to do both the pre trip in Copenhagen and post trip in Helsinki. We are glad we did. The evening cruise to Helsinki through the Stockholm archipelago was stunningly beautiful.

This was such a great trip. Copenhagen was such a lovely city and perfect to discover by walking. Sweden was so beautiful and the biking was an exciting discovery each day. Bodhi and Philip were just wonderful as our guides - fun, professional and always helpful. We had never been to Scandinavia and this was such a lovely way to see it.

Beautiful countryside, charming hotels and restaurants. The bicycling was more difficult than I expected, and the traffic was terrible.

There is no better way to see and learn about a beautiful and historic area like Southwestern England than on a bike! We loved our VBT Cotswolds adventure.

Fabulous jaw-droppingly beautiful views, with unique and comfortable accommodations organized by knowledgeable, professional guides. Be sure to include the Mont Blanc pre-trip and the post-trip in Lyon.

We loved our trip with two great tour guides! We enjoyed the food, the wine, the culture, the scenery, the lovely villages and of course the fabulous Alps! Biking was through some very scenic areas with agricultural fields and gardens everywhere! My luggage was lost for four days, but the representatives from our travel insurance company were very good about tracking it down and getting it to me on a timely basis. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone! Croissants anyone??!!

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.

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.

Splendid vacation! Breath taking mix of cycling, boat rides, train rides, and walking cobblestone paths. Pace of the vacation was just right, and our leaders informed and engaging. As Nike exhorts...just do it!

Exceeded expectations! Fantastic scenery, nice bikes, great hotels ...

We are always thrilled with our trips that we have taken with VBT.
