Spain

Great trip

VBT never disappoints. This was my 4th trip with VBT and it was fantastic. Our guides Oriol and Martin were outstanding. Loved the visit to the Dali Museum and came away with a new appreciation for his work. The landscapes were beautiful and the visit to the cider company was fun. The post trip in Mallorca was a pleasure.

A Complete Package

Our favorite VBT trip to date. The cultural experience rivaled the well planned cycling routes. Time spent on and off the bicycle created lasting memories for joyful reflection.

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!

Trip of a life time

Amazing trip! VBT booked this for us, a group of 12 and it could not have been better. The communication pre trip was great, the details once we arrived were perfect, our local hosts were great to work with, although we didn't really need them for much. The GPS routes were easy to follow, the points of interest that were noted were great as well. The bikes seemed almost new and everyone's was what they reserved. Each hotel was better than the next and the first one in Girona set the bar pretty high. The hotel staff was knowledgeable about the details of our trip and our luggage drop off needs each morning. Truly a trip of a life time and VBT really made it easy. Highly recommend this route as well.

Easy tour, good but not great

Good but not great. Routes were gentle but not as interesting as I am used to. Lots of circles in same area, no real challenges. Not enough history and active guiding. Hotels were fine but not outstanding.

Mallorca is a great place to bike

Mallorca is a beautiful island with varied landscape - mountains, farms, seashore. Biking was almost completely on small lanes. Interesting visits to wineries, olive oil operation and salt plant. Great food. Great guides. I would do it again.

Great Trip

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

Portugal & Spain Bike & River Cruise: Douro Valley

Great Riding, Guides and Food

Thus was our 13th VBT trip and the combination of biking and a small cruise ship was wonderful. I had not anticipated the great food options on the ship. The guides, Manuel and Matayas, were amonst the pantheon of great VBT guides. The biking was challenging, but the electrics were appreciated by my 80 year old body.The roads were mostly low traffic. loved the lunches in the small towns on the daily rides.The bus rides to the rides were like a thrill ride at Disneyland-big bus-little road.

Spain Under the Andalusian SKy

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......

Excellent tour

The tour was outstanding in every way. The two guides were excellent. My only complaint is with the travel arrangements which were resolved, I believe, only because I complained vociferously. .

Spain: Landscapes from the Camino de Santiago

Camino de Santiago

Really enjoyed the trip. The guides were excellent and very personable. The hiking took us through some very beautiful coastal inland areas. Some of the hiking was a bit strenuous but overall it was well planned. I would have preferred a bit more free time after the hikes in lieu of the pottery, cheese , and cider presentations.

Beautiful hikes in a beautiful country.

This trip is about local discovery! We enjoyed daily hikes through varied terrain with great guides! Everyone felt safe….injured or sick parties were easily accommodated…..and there was a great group dynamic! Each day involved different parts of the island and offered beautiful views, interesting history and local color!

A Wonderful Experience

I had high expectations for the Mallorca tour, as the Puglia tour I took last year with Country Walkers set my expectations accordingly, and I was not disappointed. All aspects of the tour were excellent: the wonderful and knowledgeable guides (Helle and Juanjo), the beautiful hotels, the included meals, the side-trips/events, and of course, the fabulous walking/hiking trails. The itinerary was very well designed and managed professionally, with a combination of easy, moderate, and a few challenging hikes. The towns and small cities we visited were all lovely. In all, the tour was all I hoped it would be, and more.
