Spain

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.

Our favorite VBT trip to date. The cultural experience rivaled the well planned cycling routes. Time spent on and off the bicycle created lasting memories for joyful reflection.

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!

We loved this trip! Beautiful and varied biking routes; knowledgeable, competent and engaging guides, top-notch hotels, delicious food and interesting cultural activities. I wish I could do it all over again!

Bucket list trip. Very well organized and great progression of rides and cities.

My husband and I booked this trip for his 50th with 5 other couples. To say it was the trip of a lifetime is to put it mildly. Though this was self-guided, VBT was always there if needed and made luggage transfers seamless. The accommodations exceeded expectations. Cannot wait to book another VBT trip!

Didn’t have any idea this trip would be SO spectacular! The hotels were top notch, the riding was exquisite and the two guides couldn’t have been better! I mean it! They were the best of the best!

My husband and I loved the rural, stone walled pathways through which we rode; sheep, goats and black pigs dotted the landscape; mountains were backdrops to small towns. We loved the fresh seafood and delicious picnics by the sea as well as the congeniality of all the riders and guides.

I enjoyed the trip. The rides were well conceived and challenging - except for those several towns with the coblestone streets.

Great trip! Manu and Matt made sure everything went well. The rides were beautiful. The winery visit and the olive oil tasting were terrific. The cruise and VBT worked well together to make sure the trip was flawless. Highly recommend

This tour is excellent. The biking routes are interesting and offer challenge for all levels, with the option of a ride in the van always there for bikers who want to avoid some hills or just need a rest. The scenery is spectacular. The tour has a perfect combination of ride days and tour days. Our trip leaders were bright, personable, competent and a fun, integral part of the group. The hotels, food, and cultural events tied it all together. I highly recommend this tour. I want to go back tomorrow!

Very scenic bike ride through miles and miles of olive trees neatly planted in rows! Guides were so helpful and courteous. Time to tour Cordoba and Granada without biking. Beautiful accommodations - especially Hacienda Minerva in Zuheros. Post trip in Barcelona is a must! Gaudi's architecture is so creative and beautiful!!

As always, fabulous guides but, for the first time in 10 tours, so-so walking that was nowhere near what was originally outlined when I first signed up. Disappointing at best.

It was well planned, had great accommodations and super guides. We experienced the best landscapes of three separate caminos. I give it a 5 in spite of some rainy days

The description of the difficulty of the hikes was misleading..the trails were donkey paths that proved to be frustratingly difficult. I could not enjoy the "scenic views" because I was afraid that I might fall off a cliff or mountain ridge...However, our guides were amazing, quite knowledgeable, very friendly, eager to assist or help and always with a smile on their face. The choices of restaurants were good but we were provided a picnic on the last day which was sub par.

This was a trip of a lifetime. We loved all of the small towns we visited and each of the walks. The hotels were great and the food was delicious. We loved the tour of the salt mine along with the vineyard and orchard groves. The guides were knowledgable, helpful and energetic. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars was the timing of our pre-tour stay - over labor day which meant many sights were closed in Palma and created over crowding for the remaining sights and restaurants. The grounds at the Port de Soller hotel were great as were the amenities, however the room was a bit dated and the shower was difficult to use. However, we would consider even doing this tour again if the itinerary was slightly different.
