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.

The flight and tour combo was a great value and highly recommended. The hikes through the Vouraikos Gorge, along the E4 trail and especially the hike up to the Monasteries of the Meteora were excellent. Some of the views were breathtaking. The food was exceptional and it just kept coming. Our guides, Katrina and Thalia, did a great job explaining Greek myths, and did a fantastic job taking care of our needs especially during some rainy days. Their patience was greatly appreciated.

Thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Greece with Country Walkers! The mainland destinations did not disappoint. All accommodations and all meals were exceptional. Our guides were very friendly and very knowledgeable. Group size was not very big (18) but we traveled in a full size tour bus between events. Very comfortable but harrowing ride on those mountain switchbacks. Hiking was very enjoyable and a great way to get to know our fellow travelers. I only wish we had time to hike longer distances. I do think Santorini is overrated and I would suggest another less popular and more pedestrian friendly island accessible by ferry for the island extension.
