The VBT Experience

Our path leads to enrichment, well-being, and value

 

Ambling along the Kerry way, you notice that the clover beneath your feet is honest-to-goodness Irish shamrock…. Garlic, shellfish, saffron: a Sunday stroll down a Cassis alley tells you what every house is having for dinner…. In Tuscany, a single red poppy waves to you from a sea of pale yellow grass. Travelers are observant by nature. But travelers who walk or bike with VBT see the world in multi-dimensional, high definition. If you’re ready to discover a destination from a more intimate perspective—at a value that beats the competition by leaps and bounds—lace up your shoes and come with us.

 

 

“All of the work of travelling was taken away and we were left to enjoy the sights, the food and the people. It was perfect.”

Thomas Y., The Tuscan Coast

“The trip was balanced excellently, the right distances, the right balance of group vs. individual meals, the overall price vs. amenities. You're doing it right!!”

Robert M., Burgundy: The Wine Route

“I feel the VBT experience is overall the best...great value, active adventure and lasting memories.”

Ronald D., Ireland: Galway & Connemara Coast

“I am grateful for your commitment to delivering value, and for incorporating such high respect for place — for the country, for the local people — in your trips.”

Lynn D., Adventure Costa Rica!

 

“This was our 9th trip with VBT and they just keep getting better and better. When it arrives at our home, the VBT brochure is like a candy store!”

Lynette F., Croatia: The Dalmatian Islands

“It is really hard to pick out any one thing as it all blends into one fabulous experience….This was our 7th VBT trip—need I say more.”

Helen R., Italy: Po River Valley and Lake Garda

“We rated VBT excellent overall. This was our first trip with any bicycle tour company, so I really have nothing to compare it to. And I doubt I ever will. VBT did such a great job I have no reason and no desire to try any other bike tour company.”

Arnold and Patt S., Classic Vermont

“Amazing group leaders, great food and choice of hotels, ample time for sightseeing, very well laid out bike routes. This tour EXCEEDED my expectations. Thank you for an amazing vacation!”

Arielle C., Spain: Under the Andalusian Sky

“We take the VBT bike trips because of our interest in traveling to places like New Zealand and because they offer a good value and plenty of exercise.”

Gilbert K., New Zealand: The South Island

“Beautiful and challenging rides; excellent leaders; accommodations that frankly were 2nd to none. It was a good value and a wonderful experience.”

Matthew M., Croatia: The Dalmatian Islands
