Spain

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!

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?

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!

This was the first time my husband and I did a cycling trip in Europe and we could not have asked for a better experience! We were VBT fans before making a deposit because their website provided all the information we needed to decide about going with them such as the route, mileage, elevation, hotels, and other things we could see and do. Not all tour companies made such a good first impression! Then VBT delivered with excellent pre-trip communication, fabulous bike routes with explicit Ride with GPS instructions and interesting things to see along the way, plus the hotels were just lovely! Our favorite hotel, Hostal Spa Empuries, which we stayed an extra two nights after the trip was finished because the location on the beach with a short walk in both directions to small towns along a lovely foot/bike path was so ideal. We want to cycle in Greece next year and after looking at many tour companies it is going to be VBT again because we feel secure in knowing they have planned a wonderful trip and they will take care of us. They can even give you a longer route if you want more miles on any given day that works into the schedule. God willing, I don't think Greece is going to be our last VBT trip!

Wonderful place to visit! Lodging was fine and the logistics well organized and easy to follow. Welcome team was very knowledgable and helpful. Equipment was first rate and performed flawlessly.

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!

This was one of our best trips so far. Guides were awesome!!!

The scenery and biking were incredible! However, dealing with the ship's docking schedule was somewhat problematic and left less time for exploring the towns and shortened the rides.

We enjoyed cycling through the Douro River region and seeing the charming villages. The arranged lunches at local restaurants were a highlight. The recent fires in the area did take away from some of the natural beauty, but despite that, we had fun cycling. There are plenty of lovely views to enjoy. Our trip leaders did a great job. The terrain is quite hilly, - be prepared! Cruising on the Douro added to the experience.

This was the best VBT trip I've had. Great biking,and mix of culture. Excellent unique hotels,and our guides were extremely fun and happy to share their culture.

Trip #2 with VBT and once again the entire tour exceeded my expectations. The towns of Spain via bike were breathless. The leaders were knowledgeable, friendly, fun and organized. Loved by Trip #2 and plan to do more......

The itinerary for this trip was very well thought out. The local guides, Diego and Pol, were beyond great. I would rate this trip as moderate, but you could elect to skip portions of the hikes to make it easier. The accommodations along the Camino were originally monasteries. The trip was so much fun. Thank you, Diego and Pol.

Wonderful trip, great guides, good food, well-organized. Guides Alberto and Pol were a great team and anticipated our every need. Moreover, they were fun to be with and full of helpful information. The route was well planned to experience both the Camino Norte and the Camino Franca. The paradors were generally good though not spectacular, with the exception of that in Santiago de Compostela. Visits to the winery and cheese factory were also pleasant and provided variety to the walking treks. The length and elevation gain of the walks were fine for the elderly group, though the initial information should be checked for accuracy. Some walks were more and others were less than advertised.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Country Walkers trip to Mallorca. The country is beautiful and the fresh food is delicious. Our guides were wonderful and very helpful. We highly recommend this trip.

Beautiful coastal hikes and vistas from nearby heights.
