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.

Great trip! Our guides were great hosts and made sure everyone was safe, comfortable, and getting the most out of each day. Gorgeous part of the world.

I LOVED this vacation. I am an avid biker; my husband is not; and we both enjoyed the levels of activity and flexibility. The vineyards and villages were amazing to see, especially by bicycle. Jean and Jean Francois took care of our every need, and the accommodations were wonderful. What's not to like?

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!

We had a wonderfully-planned week of cycling along small, beautiful farm roads with itineraries bringing us to the coast of most days. Riding in August in 70 degree weather was great. We all loved seeing the texture of rural, historic France and learning more about Normandy and Brittany. The trip includes a focus on local food culture - the visit to the Cider farm was really special, as were the Cancale oysters and dinners at local restaurants. We also got so much out of learning more about WWII even though I did not choose this trip primarily for that reason. There were helpful guided tours, and the option to visit museums if you wanted more depth. I'm so glad we could take advantage of this aspect of visiting France. The Trip Leaders were extremely knowledgeable, good humored, well-seasoned guides who knew the area well and had set up a number of local experiences. We found the cycling to be engaging - beautiful rolling farmland that left me in a little better shape by the end of the week but wasn't overly challenging. (The shorter option was also always available.)

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!

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 .

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!

First time on a river cruise/bike trip. Very nice! Convenient not to pack up suitcases every night, as we have done on previous bike trips. Loved seeing different countries and tasting their food (LOTS of food). It was a perfect way to gather with our friends from different states. Our leaders (Felix & Matilda) and local tour guides of each attraction were knowledgeable, available and fun to be around.

To see Europe on a bike was the most amazing experience in my life. What a beautiful country to explore!

Fantastic trip, made even better by our 3 guides that did a lot of last minute planning to insure that this trip was safe, fun and memorable. Due to a last minute boat change, many pieces had to come together, but their knowledge of the area and bike trails made it happen. We traveled with 26 great riders. Highly recommend this trip!!!

Neaver have something been so organized the VBT team was the best. So much fun . Already planning our next 1 the boat was great the crew was great the food was 1st class

Perfect trip for the beginner or experienced cyclist. The scenery was perfect, easy mostly flat rides, great food and accommodations. Highly recommend.

Lovely region to bike and cruise through. The Mosel is less busy or congested compared to the Rhine. The accommodations and food were very comfortable (esp. beds) and DELICIOUS. The VBT staff so accommodating even offering me an e-bike mid-way through to make me more comfortable. The side trips to wine cellar, bell foundry were also great.

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.

My husband and I really loved this trip. We have taken many guided tours (which we love) but really enjoyed the independence that a self-guided tour gives you. The accommodations were excellent, the bike routes were challenging (we did the long options each day with road bikes), and the scenery was pretty French countryside on quiet bike paths and small roads. We needed some mechanical assistance one day and our local contact was just a phone call away and very helpful. Overall a great experience and in the right location we would definitely consider another self-guided tour.

Our trip was fabulous. Our guides, Michel and Cedrick, were excellent. Their humor, attention to detail and genuine concern for our comfort/enjoyment was fantastic and made the trip top-notch. We stayed in lovely, high-quality lodging and the food was delicious. I always felt safe on the routes we rode and appreciated the many options of bikes, distance, etc. Most of the people on our trip had participated in other VBT Tours and that fact spoke volumes to the satisfaction and high quality they have previously received. My husband and I will definitely sign up for another trip in the future!

This tour had great cycling, fantastic hotels and stunning scenery! Each day was better than the previous but our stay at Abbaye de Talloires and day 4 cycling around Lake Annecy were highlights for me.

Our tour guides, Sophie and Bruno were the best! We experienced rides along lovely canals, through gorgeous vineyards and quaint villages. Our accomodations on our ship couldn't have been better, and we met some nice people.

A wonderful week of biking, boating & site seeing. Our guides, Sophie and Bruno, left no detail unturned.
