Scotland

Carolina and Jago were the BEST guides and absolutely delightful! Beautiful and varied terrain. Accommodations were average, nothing too fancy. Especially liked the Beaumont Hexham in Hexham and Radisson Blu in Edinburgh (great location and good breakfast buffet). Some of the uphill climbs would be challenging if not on an e-bike. Should be a strong rider if doing this tour on a road bike.

We have taken 22 trips with VBT and we have high expectations. This is a new trip and we were on the second trip of the season. It was the first time our leaders lead this trip and there were some issues that needed to be improved upon. We had quite a bit of rain but the leaders and our fellow riders remained in good spirits. Both Lauren and Nick were knowledgeable and pleasant throughout the trip. The scenery was gorgeous and the riding was so fun; particularly on an e-bike. This trip is quite hilly and unless you are a very strong rider, I would strongly suggest you get an e-bike. We enjoyed both the pre and post trips.
