Spain

Terrific diverstiy of scenery and cultural sights.

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.

Lovely Spain & Portugal Trip

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!

Spain & Portugal: Coastal Camino de Santiago

What a Great Tour!

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!

Wonderful Rides through Costa Brava

We recently returned from our self-guided biking trip through Spain and enjoyed a truly memorable experience. VBT delivered on all aspects of lodging, bikes, self-guided app, and pre-trip planning. Our in-country hosts were readily available and willing to help with minor adjustments mid-trip. The routes were predominantly local road biking routes with minimal car traffic to worry about while riding. This was our first VBT trip and we would be more than happy to explore another area of the world with VBT!

June '23 VBT ride through Costa Brava-

We loved our self guided tour around Costa Brava. Accomodations were very nice. We especially liked the 1600's Farmhouse with the outstanding restaurant. The rides were very pleasant and vehicles were very respectful of cyclists. All the people we encountered were very kind and helpful. .

New friends

The routes, hotels and “extras” were great! The best part was making new friends!

Fantastic Trip!

Mallorca was absolutely breathtaking, and this trip was unforgettable thanks to our incredible guides, Jose and Juantxo! From start to finish, they kept us energized with fun and scenic rides, engaging activities, and a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. The hotels were beautiful, the meals were delicious, and every detail was thoughtfully planned. Jose and Juantxo’s passion, humor, and local insight made the experience truly special. Thank you for such an amazing journey—we'll treasure these memories forever!

Great trip, great leaders.

We really enjoyed this trip and would recommend it. The routes were scenic; the bikes excellent; the food very good; the leaders outstanding; the other experiences (tours, wine tasting, etc.) were fun and informative; the hotels at the beginning and end were very nice. We would suggest using the e-bikes as the terrain is hilly.

Great Trip

I enjoyed the trip. The rides were well conceived and challenging - except for those several towns with the coblestone streets.

Very Scenic Ride!

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!!

Five star tour!

Fabulous trip! We truly enjoyed ourselves and the other people on the tour. We loved being there during Holy Week, too. The pre and post extensions were wonderful, we especially loved Rondo. All of the guides were terrific! Nico and Juan Carlos were fabulous as well. They both had a wonderful sense of humor and were very patient and helpful. We will highly recommend this tour to others and look forward to doing another tour in the future!

Perfect balance.

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

Camino Hiking Trip

The itinerary for this trip was very well thought out. The local guides, Diego and Pol, were beyond great. I would rate this trip as moderate, but you could elect to skip portions of the hikes to make it easier. The accommodations along the Camino were originally monasteries. The trip was so much fun. Thank you, Diego and Pol.

Hope,

Mallorca Tour

This was a trip of a lifetime. We loved all of the small towns we visited and each of the walks. The hotels were great and the food was delicious. We loved the tour of the salt mine along with the vineyard and orchard groves. The guides were knowledgable, helpful and energetic. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars was the timing of our pre-tour stay - over labor day which meant many sights were closed in Palma and created over crowding for the remaining sights and restaurants. The grounds at the Port de Soller hotel were great as were the amenities, however the room was a bit dated and the shower was difficult to use. However, we would consider even doing this tour again if the itinerary was slightly different.
