Discover Europe

The Old World is ever new when you explore Europe on a VBT bike tour, walking vacation, or bike and boat trip. Cycle easy bike routes through magnificent alpine vistas or chateau-dotted valleys. Follow the paths of pilgrims and vintners. Drift by barge along tranquil, windmill-dotted waterways, disembarking to coast into charming villages.

VBT’s bike tours in Europe are as varied as the continent itself. Pedal amidst scenic splendor, from Croatia’s stunning Dalmatian Islands to Poland’s pastoral vistas to the rolling terrain and hilltop towns of Tuscany. Follow wine roads in Germany and France, breathtaking lakeside paths in Slovenia and Austria, and sweeping coastal lanes in Spain and Ireland.

Discover the scenic hillside vineyards of Portugal and Italy. Amble along the green vales of Killarney. Follow in the footsteps of Van Gogh and Monet in the sun-kissed flower fields of Provence. Follow mighty rivers deeper into Europe’s quiet corners, from Germany’s half-timbered houses and lush vineyards to Holland’s storybook windmills and vibrant tulip fields.

At every turn, you’ll be immersed in European culture and make personal connections with locals. Learn to prepare some of the Continent’s most prized cuisines with expert cooks. Sample celebrated vintages and spirits and take your place at the table in local homes and family-run restaurants for unrivalled insight into daily life.

This is the only way I want to vacation from now on. I’ve never been a fan of the typical sightseeing vacations. I loved cycling through orchards, small villages, and along the coast. Weather was perfect and hotels top-notch. The equipment was excellent and the VBT staff were wonderful. Not a single complaint.

MSemler,

Portugal: Porto, the Silver Coast & Lisbon

We loved our self-guided coastal ride - spectacular vistas, nicest people, beautiful towns and liked being on our own time table. Accommodations were okay - small clean rooms and always helpful staff. Fuji E-bikes nimble, but I had to ask for a rear-view mirror and rode 2 days without one while waiting. Too dangerous to ride without, especially on roads and streets and couldn't track my husband behind me. All breakfasts were excellent, but dinner at Alcobaca hotel was inedible. Could have used more GPS orientation before starting. VBT staff helpful too.
