France

Bike routes were beautiful and enjoyable! Loved the town of St. Remy and the location of our hotel. Really enjoyed Avignon and again, the location of the hotel made exploring the city very easy.

This was our first VBT vacation and we have already registered for a second trip. Provence and the Alpilles is a beautiful region of France with abundant fruits, vegetables and other agriculture. The bicycle travel through the French countryside gives an up-close and personal travel experience.

This trip was better than anticipated. We expected a great time, but this was outstanding in service, leadership and bike friendliness.

We had an amazing time - And I can't speak highly enough of every aspect of this trip! Our VBT leaders, Sophie and Bruno, were exceptional, planning everything down to the smallest detail. They were a pleasure to be with in every way. We loved every hotel, each unique, and in the heart of a city, with lots to do in the area. Our e-bikes were brand new, and easy to navigate. We were blessed with beautiful weather and enjoyed our rides each and every day. I would highly recommend this trip - it will definitely not be our last. We are already booked for one next year!

The trip through Normandy and Brittany was beautiful, historic, and fun! It was the perfect mix of biking though the country, visiting historic sites, and enjoying special treats along the way. Our guides Luc and Kevin were outstanding!

Biking in Normandy and Brittany was recommended to us by a fellow VBT biker on our previous trip and we are so happy that we listened to him. The daily parade of classic French villages, farms, gardens, and estates were simply beautiful. Our guides Sophie and Jean were The Best, and we learned more about French culture, history, and language than we could have hoped for. We recommend this trip to everyone!

The Burgundy Wine Route trip was an exceptional vacation...it was a great mix of activity, leisure, learning and sightseeing. The trip leaders were personable, knowledgeable, and fun-loving, our fellow travelers were all interesting and friendly people, and the food, accommodations, and scenery were all first class. The daily route length choices ensured that everyone would be happy with their activity level, too. I’d highly recommend this trip to anyone who loves good food, wine, and outdoor activity. The pre and post trip extensions are also well worth it...especially the pre-trip in Lyon...there was so much to explore there!

This was our first Vermont Bike vacation but it certainly will not be our last! What a great time .For us it was a perfect mix of activity,culture ,wine and food. The countryside is just delightful and beautiful. The guides were excellent and our fellow travelers were wonderful .

I never use VBT before, but I will definitely use them for my next trip. our leaders, Matilda and Felix were fantastic! I highly recommend VBT To anyone who is looking for a great experience.

This was a bike and boat tour and I would not take another trip like this. I’ve been on 11 VBT trips before and always loved the experience. This trip however was lacking the cultural experiences of other trips, two wineries and a cheese shop was not up to the VBT standards. Also to be part of 120 other people on the boat limited our experience to be part of a close knit group that we have felt in the past with these trips. The guides were wonderful as usual but the biking was limited by the boat schedule. We couldn’t ride in the afternoon one day because we had to get back to the boat. It was nice to only unpack once and the accommodations were wonderful but not the usual VBT trip that we love.

First timer and a wonderful experience. The staff and leaders are exceptional. Well organized and you are well cared for. Food, cleanliness of the boat and service were all above what was expected. Felt at home with everyone. Well organized group.

Fun bicycling! Electric bikes, paved paths, German food, French Food, and a floating hotel. Hard working and knowledgeable guided.

VBT offers wonderful guided tours with very knowledgeable guides and support people to guide you during the pre and post trips.

A trip well done from beginning to end, from bike to barge, from guides to chef and captain.

Beaujolais, Chardonnay and beyond, this tour was all I dreamed of.

This tour has a little bit of everything we wanted. Great riding in gorgeous French countryside, excellent accommodations (as always with VBT), our bikes were perfect and GPS maps were easy to follow. Having an affinity for wine doesn't hurt, but this ride would be great just to experience the culture and atmosphere of the area.

This was a trip of a lifetime! My mom and I joined the group and were led by 3 amazing guides! Jean Marc, Philippe, and Margot were so wonderful. They kept us safe, kept us laughing, and helped us make great memories!

Wonderful route, well planned. Excellent and unique accommodations. The group leaders (Eve & Jean-Marc) were fun, well-organized and quickly responded to all needs.

Our VBT trip starting in Lyon France was well organized and the route was beautiful and interesting. Our leaders, Bruno and Sophie, were reliable and a joy to be with. The Emerald ship was clean, food was delicious, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We will certainly do more VBT trips.

It was a pleasure from beginning to end. I particularly enjoyed the help of the staff with routes, things to see in local areas, their good humor and their ability to handle individual changes and preferences.
