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.

We loved this trip! The scenery, the biking routes, the guides, the accommodations were all fanatastic. We liked the other guests, the fabulous breakfasts and particularly loved our post trip to Mallorca.

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!

This trip was so amazing. The VBT company had everything in order right down to the last detail. Our tour guides, Oriol and Xavier, treated everyone with dignity and respect. They were kind and helpful and a joy to work with. The group met each morning to have a review of the day. Our guides also suggested restaurants along the way and their advice was excellent. Our hotels were beautiful! Everything about this vacation was top notch. Thank you, VBT for an amazing trip. We are already planning our next one.

Wonderful place to visit! Lodging was fine and the logistics well organized and easy to follow. Welcome team was very knowledgable and helpful. Equipment was first rate and performed flawlessly.

An amazing VBT experience! Wonderful guides, great food, nice paved roads with low traffic, lovely sights, lots of cute baby animals along the wayside, and friendly folks all along the way. Mallorca was really relaxing and a whole lot of fun!

Wonderful sunny weather, guides who are off the chart WONDERFUL, hotels that are carefully picked and contact with locals--what is not to like? The cycling routes are generally flat but you will log quite a bit of kilometers on this tour. Delicious cuisine, interesting island culture and excellent daily planning make this tour beckoning!

What an amazing trip! The Douro Valley was nothing short of magical. Cannot recommend this trip highly enough. The bike-boat experience was phenomenal (Emerald Cruises was top notch) and the Portuguese VBT leaders and entire boat crew made it an unforgettable experience. The exposure to the historical culture and centuries-old commerce along the Douro were a highlight. Bravo VBT

This trip was the perfect combination of biking and cruising. The Emerald Radiance was a top-notch level Riverboat with a crew that felt like family by the end of the trip. The rooms were small but had every important amenity. In the evening were entertained by local dancers and singers that were an excellent representation of the local culture. This trip should be on everyone’s list.

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......

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

Our trip was personal and wonderful from beginning to end!

We visited Mallorca in May and it did not disappoint. The weather was perfect -- warm but not too hot. The views were breathtaking: dramatic cliffs dropping into crystal-clear coves and olive groves and citrus trees scattered across the hillsides. It felt like every turn revealed a new postcard-worthy scene. Some stretches of the trail were rocky and steep but easily manageable. The guides were personable and knowledgeable. The hotels were close to luxury. I highly recommend this trip to active travelers.

Loved this tour! The guides, Hille and Isabel, were knowledgeable about Mallorca and Deia, and shared the information in an interesting manner; plus they were highly competent group leaders who were fun, funny and upbeat. Fellow hikers were friendly and interesting, and as a group we created a comfortable esprit de corps. The hiking was designated as easy to moderate, with seemingly something for everyone in the group - stronger hikers often took the lead while others walked at a slower pace. The 4 - 5 star accommodations were extremely comfortable and the food was fantastic (and a lot more than most of us usually consume)! This was my first hiking tour, and I look forward to doing another.
