Explore the Best of America by Bike

A winding gravel path leads through a lush, verdant landscape filled with towering oak trees draped in Spanish moss, creating a serene and enchanting atmosphere.

You don’t have to travel far to find incredible cycling adventures. A stunning variety of routes is waiting to be discovered right here at home, from the sun-drenched Florida coast to the dramatic desert vistas of Arizona. American bike tours from VBT | Country Walkers are crafted to immerse you in the heart of these diverse regions, combining exhilarating rides with authentic local encounters.


This is more than just a bike trip; it’s an opportunity to connect with the culture and character of a place. Picture yourself pedaling along Maryland's serene Chesapeake Bay, dancing the Virginia Reel after a day of cycling through the Lowcountry, or exploring the historic streets of America's oldest city, St. Augustine. With VBT | Country Walkers, you can ride through Mississippi's complex history, climb through the majestic Rockies from Aspen to Vail, or choose your own adventure in the iconic national parks of Utah.

1. Charleston to Savannah Bike Tour: Enjoy true Southern hospitality as you cycle the picturesque coastline from Charleston to Savannah. Experience a traditional Beaufort social and rub elbows with your neighbors—perhaps even swinging them around while dancing the Virginia Reel.

2. Chesapeake Bay Bike Tour: You won’t find another cycling tour quite like this spin along Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay! In the quaint coastal village of Rock Hall, you’ll be treated like family. Pedal past stately homes, ride through Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, and travel by boat up a local tributary to take in waterfront homes and regional history.

3. Florida Bike Tour along the Historic Coast: Many cycling tours through Florida miss out on historic St. Augustine—but not us! Here, you’ll explore America’s oldest city and sail the Atlantic coast on an authentic schooner. Along the way, you’ll cycle Georgia’s pristine Jekyll Island and kayak a biodiverse salt marsh.

4. Bryce Canyon & Zion Bike Tour: Your experienced local Trip Leaders help you choose your own Utah adventure—whether it’s a longer spin to Bryce Canyon’s Rainbow Point, a lush riverside hike through Zion National Park, or a relaxing spa treatment at your resort hotel.

5. Colorado Bike Tour from Aspen to Vail: Aspen, Vail, Breckenridge, Glenwood Springs—VBT| Country Walkers brings you the Big Four on mostly car-free bike paths. Spin along the shores of the mighty Colorado River, discover a bygone era at Ashcroft Ghost Town, and quaff microbrews over live music in the charming pubs of Vail.

6. Arizona Bike Tour through Saguaro & Sonoran Desert: Soak in sprawling desert landscapes as you coast along Arizona’s versatile ranges. Explore Sonora’s unique ecosystem at the Tohono Chul Botanical Gardens, pedal through high desert landscapes, explore the Arivaca Mercantile, and cycle sections of America’s #1 bike path.

7. Natchez Trace Bike Tour across Mississippi: On this enlightening journey through Mississippi’s past and present, you’ll visit grand antebellum plantations, explore the Civil Rights Museum, visit an ancient Native American burial ground, and tour the historic Civil War battlefield at Vicksburg.

8. Acadia National Park Bike Tour: Nothing could be more seamless than a VBT | Country Walkers self-guided tour of Acadia National Park. Three nights at a scenic oceanfront resort just outside downtown Bar Harbor give you the flexibility to pedal up Cadillac Mountain, spin through charming coastal villages, or relax by the pool or on the private beach. Nature cruises of Frenchman Bay even depart from the hotel’s own pier. The choice is yours!

9. Vermont Bike Tour on the Lake Champlain Islands: Since our inception in 1971, VBT | Country Walkers has been guiding group cycling tours throughout the pastoral valleys of our native Vermont. From the artsy-chic waterfront city of Burlington to the peaceful byways of the Champlain Islands to the town of Stowe and its mountain views, you'll love meeting our countless Vermont friends.
