Spain

Our 7th trip and this might be tops, but they are all so good. This trip is easy and we are so glad we did not order eBikes (we are 79 and 82). Our guides were terrific and the trip is planned so there is time for art (Dali two places),Greek and Roman ruins, swimming in the Mediterranean Sea, walking the coast, seeing the Costa Brava from the sea, and exploring the old city of Girona as well as an introduction to Barcelona, where we stayed on for a week in an apartment. Hotels were great too.

It starts with the guides and they deliver on a continuous basis. Andrea and Javier (Javi) are excellent at delivering the experience promised by VBT and go above and beyond to make it all work and make sure you are happy. There are always glitches along the way, mostly created by the guests. They work tirelessly and effectively to solve every problem. Like all the other trips (we have done many). It's so much more than the wonderful biking. The farm visit to the apple orchard is amazing. Who knew so much science and technology are needed to be successful in this day and age. They explained why more than 150 apples stresses the trees and produce inferior apples. They showed us the technology they use to eliminate excess blooms. The resultant apples, juices and ciders are wonderful. The enjoyment of our visit to the Dali museum was magnified many times over by the enthusiasm and knowledge of Kim, our guide. I had no idea how many elements were in each Dali painting and how his mind worked.

We loved this trip! Beautiful and varied biking routes; knowledgeable, competent and engaging guides, top-notch hotels, delicious food and interesting cultural activities. I wish I could do it all over again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our first VBT experience. The tour route was very well laid out and we cannot not say enough about how impressive our tour leaders, David and Frederico, both of whom are natives of Portugal. Kudos to VBT for the way they planned and conducted our tour!

Bucket list trip. Very well organized and great progression of rides and cities.

We absolutely loved our self-guided biking trip! Plus, our boutique hotel accommodations were wonderful. Our second night's accomodations were unbelievable, especially our dining experience that was part of our package. Directions were perfect and so was the weather. This is our second trip and cannot wait to book our third. I cannot highly recommend these trips enough!

The trip to Mallorca was outstanding. The cycling is on quiet country roads. Mallorca is a major cycling destination and you are joined on the roads by pro cycling teams and individual cyclists of all skill levels. This creates an environment where drivers are aware of and prepared for cyclists. The hotels are first rate and the food, especially the fish and seafood, is excellent. Above all, the trip leaders were amazing. They were always prepared and supportive and able to adjust to any unexpected events. They ensured that the trip ran like clockwork and kept the guests informed of every detail of the days schedule. Highly recommend for cyclists of all experience levels.

This trip was a great mixture of varied rides (flat to challenging), great scenery, a nice mixture of riding and visits to local fincas and places of interest (olive oil making, winery, salt processing), wonderful hotels, and terrific food. Of course our attentive, entertaining, and always helpful guides, Juantxo and Joan, and a very cohesive group of riders made for a memorable trip.

Very enjoyable trip. Guides were excellent. The meals on the River Boat were also excellent. Would highly recommend this trip.

Good route, and the ship, with unpacking once, makes it better. The guides were very good, and the food on the ship was excellent. The group of 18 were very enjoyable people.

This was the best VBT trip I've had. Great biking,and mix of culture. Excellent unique hotels,and our guides were extremely fun and happy to share their culture.

Trip #2 with VBT and once again the entire tour exceeded my expectations. The towns of Spain via bike were breathless. The leaders were knowledgeable, friendly, fun and organized. Loved by Trip #2 and plan to do more......

Awesome Experience. Everything was amazing from the accommodations to the hikes to the guides. Highly recommend this tour to experience different parts of the Camino de Santiago.

This is a wonderful trip with wonderful guides! It gives you a taste of what it would be like to walk one of the Caminos in its' entirety - I hope to go back and do that one day!

Incredibly beautiful and enjoyable hikes on scenic paths to historic places, with great guides, delicious fresh food, and new cultural experiences are well worth the journey to Mallorca.

I was looking for a sunny getaway with moderately challenging walks, picture-perfect towns and taps. This walked delivered all that and more. The guides were outstanding and my fellow travelers were enthusiastic as well as kind and interesting to be with. The landscapes were surprisingly different but all gorgeous in different ways. Truly a trip to remember.
