Spain

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the VBT Costa Brava trip. The biking itinerary was clearly written and well planned. We are confident traveling in Europe after living there many years, however, we believe it is safer and certainly more convenient to bike with a reputable group tour. VBT offers a high quality experience which we can recommend without hesitation.

Enjoyed the bike ride, the small cities and towns, the archeological site at Empires and the trip leaders. A delightful corner of Spain.

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!

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!

An extremely well organized trip by VBT. Accommodations were superb. All directions and information very helpful and clear. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation.

This was our first VBT and it will not be our last! We loved the self-guided trip through quaint medieval villages, quiet country lanes, mountain climbs in the foothills of the Pre-Pyrenees, apple orchards, to the beautiful shores of the Mediterranean. We had a great group of 7 travelers we met up with along the path, and for many dinners. We choose the self-guided because we wanted to go at our own pace. Our local hosts were amazing and always a phone call or text away! We made the right choice by going with the E-bikes! We had never tried them before, and they were amazing!

I would highly recommend this trip. We travelled in mid May as a family of four with our two sons who are in their early 20s. The cycling was great for different levels of cyclists. I had a road bike while the rest of the family opted for e-bikes so they could relax more. Each of the hotels were great from Palmas to Barcelona! Meals provided were excellent. Bibi and Juan Carlos could not have been better! We had excellent weather and a great group to help enjoy the week.

Outstanding guides -Binialmara and Jorge- who gave very clear directions daily. Beautiful scenery and lovely hotels. The food at Esport was exceptional, and the thermal spa in Sant Jordi was a treat. Lots of bike traffic as well as some vehicles on the road, helpful if you are used to riding in traffic or with others . Some independent options for those who want to put in more miles.

Perfect trip, VBT staff/guides above and beyond!!!

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

Very scenic bike ride through miles and miles of olive trees neatly planted in rows! Guides were so helpful and courteous. Time to tour Cordoba and Granada without biking. Beautiful accommodations - especially Hacienda Minerva in Zuheros. Post trip in Barcelona is a must! Gaudi's architecture is so creative and beautiful!!

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......

The trip was VERY Good, but it should be noted that it is not a walk on one Camino, it is a taste of the areas around several camino routes. We walked, but we also were able to learn about cities in various locations, from excellent local guides, and we experienced visiting a cheese farm and a pottery Artist at work. If you are looking for a CAMINO hike with spiritual significance, this is not it, BUT if you want truly wonderful experience of Camino and the beautiful Northern Spain, this is a trip you should make a must do.

A wonderful mix of hiking, cultural activities, and regional foods. The guides were exceptional.

Not that strenuous, but interesting walking/hiking with informative guides. Great history, scenery, food. Guides were exceptional in every way-attentive, helpful, knowledgeable.

A wonderful way to see the country. The guides were delightful, supportive and knowledgeable. Lodging was fabulous and the other hikers so interesting!
