Greece

This VBT trip does not disappoint! The attention to detail for every visit and experience was remarkable. I live in the mid-west and don't have many hills to train on so these rides were challenging for me, but doable and once I was done I felt very satisfied. The accommodations were all different and great in their own way. The guides were energetic and informative. I highly recommend this tour - it's a great way to see Greece!

The experience with VBT went beyond expectations as did the part of Greece where we cycled. The Peloponnesian Peninsula is a relatively undiscovered biking jewel, I enjoyed it far more than biking various Greek Islands. Accommodations were excellent and Greek food speaks for itself. VBT and the guides went out of their way in providing a 5 star experience. The bikes were new and top quality, the routes were varied and interesting. The guides bent over backwards to please us and provide a great biking as well as cultural experience.

This was a great trip that I would strongly recommend. It was my first guided group outing and I enjoyed every part of it. The hiking is easy to moderate and if that is your highest priority, this may not be the right option. What made the experience so terrific for me was everything that came along with the hiking: natural beauty, wonderful food, and amazing history all set within a friendly and welcoming culture. Our guides Thalia and Katerina were knowledgeable and fun and shared their love of all things Greek. The itinerary took us to interesting and beautiful sites where we explored Greek history and mythology. When you put all the ingredients together, you get some nice hikes and a wide-ranging and memorable introduction to a wonderful place.

Our guides were among the best I have experienced. Itinerary was well designed to provide a Big Picture for Greece. Trade-off is less walking.
