France

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.

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.

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!

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!

Planning and ride with VBT was priceless!. Our bicycle hosts did a fabulous job taking care of our every need. We also did the 3 day in Paris pre-trip, which if you do the 3 day Paris pre-trip, make sure you book all excursions in advance. We pre-booked Eiffel Tower, Palace Versailles, Tuk Tuk Paris, Louvre Museum. My one negative comment was in the city of Dinan. We had a tour guide that was obviously very familiar with the City, Architecture and history. Unfortunately, we could not hear a thing she said. She talked softly, kept walking away, talking to 1 or 2 people....you get the idea. It would have been much better if she had us wear earpieces while she talked. Other than that, fantastic time and would recommend this trip.

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!

Wonderful trip! Everything went smoothly because of our attentive leaders and excellent lodging on the Rhine River cruise boat.

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

We have been waiting since 2020 to take this trip! So worth the wait! The Mosel is just beautiful. The guides were knowledgeable, kind, experienced and just plain fun to be with. The Magnifique I was lovely but not luxurious but I am guessing if you bike you are ok with that. The crew was efficient, hard working, kind and polite always. Excellent food and drink!

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

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.

The Mosel River bike and barge was a wonderful experience. The ride was mostly flat along the river with quaint small towns and hillside vineyards along the way. The scenery was quite stunning. The barge was comfortable and clean and the crew was outstanding. While the cabins were small, being able to stay in one place for seven nights was definitely a plus.

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.

The trip was wonderful! The scenery was amazing, the bike trails were excellent, and who could have asked for better weather.

Excellent trip with superb location selection, exceptional leaders, and really great rides. Highly recommend this VBT tour.

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.

The leaders were great,,,the food was great...the bike routes very good...the walking tours were also very good...I missed the travel between local hotels on bikes....
