Asia & Oceania

VBT’s attention to detail in every way made our trip to Vietnam fun AND informative. Our guides were so knowledgeable about the country and biking while experiencing it all was a great way to go.

Tang and Dat were phenomenal guides. I loved that one was from Hanoi and and one from Saigon so we could get both perspectives. Our guide in Cambodia was also incredible- knew exactly how long things would take and what time we should get to the temples to see sunrise/sunsets and avoid crowds. All hotels were awesome but the Sofitel in Siem Reap was the best hotel I have ever stayed in.

We had an incredible time on our VBT multi-sport adventure to New Zealand. This was our third VBT trip. New Zealand is a special place and our guides, Jan, Josie and Broni brought magic to the tour. Their knowledge of the country, the people and the natural beauty of the South Island so enhanced our trip. If you like to hike, bike and kayak, enjoy good wine and great beer, fresh seafood, and love the natural beauty, amazing landscapes and warm friendly people, this is the trip to take.

We very much enjoyed the diversity of activities that VBT offered, the beautiful South Island and our wonderful guides. We have previously traveled to NZ but this VBT trip allowed us to experience the diversity of the South Island. Everyone we encountered was friendly and welcoming.

Mark and Sarah were the best guides. We did amazing scenic walks, learned a lot about the Maori culture and even learned some Maori words. This was one of the best Country Walkers tours we have done (our 10th we believe). Our group was outstanding and we bonded and had fun. Both the Abel Tasman and the Queen Charlotte Track are parts of the world no one, who likes nature and active travel, should miss.

New Zealand is the most beautiful place in the world. At least, that is the conclusion my wife and I reached during our wonderful Country Walkers trip to the South Island. Among other delights, we were treated to a wondrous mix of mountain and water scenery on the Queen Charlotte Track in Marlborough Sounds and fern jungles along along the coastal trails of Abel Tasman National Park. The walking was never too demanding but there was scope to do more for those of us willing to take it on. Our guides, Mark and Sarah, were absolutely superb. Our hotels and food were first rate. We have done a number of these trips now and loved them all. But I have to say this was the best.
