Spain

This was one of the best VBT tours we have taken. Food, riding, scenery, exploration of the art of Dali, wonderful guides and fantastic accommodations. Pre-trip in Barcelona is a must do to see the Gaudi architecture and Picasso museum as well as experience Catalonia at its best.

I wasn't sure I would be able to do this ride. But I had no problem at all. I used an e-bike and kept up the group and had a ball! Everyone on the ride was wonderful and fun to be with. If you aren't sure you might be up for a ride thru Spain, think again. Anyone can do it using an e-bike. I can't wait to do my next trip!! Hum, where shall I go?

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!

Lodging was fantastic. Self guided app was spot on and would ding if you were 10 feet off course. I'm hooked. Coming back

This part of Spain seems to be designed for biking with many small country roads and bike paths. Even the long climb on the first day was gentle and easy (on an E-Bike!). An occasional stint on a busier road brought us to another idyllic country road. The hotel accommodations were great. Nice people, fascinating medieval villages, orchards, fields. I love than Spain has a law requiring motorists to leave 1.5 meters when passing a bike.

An outstanding trip, my first with VBT, and surely not the last. Mallorca was in full glory after a month of rain, and the biking was wonderful. But most impressive perhaps was the overall organization and the care that the VBT hosts put into making our adventure memorable and flawless. Great biking, great hotels, great meals and great company...full marks! Thank you.

I would have chosen 4 stars but we were delayed by an airline going on strike and being told if we took that flight we would not receive our luggage until four days later. We were given a flight the next day at 11:00 p.m and so we missed two days of our trip to Mallorca.

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.

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

We visited Andalucia Spain with VBT in Nov. 2012. This was our 24th bicycling trip with VBT and was our best trip yet! Andalucia is more scenic than we ever imagined and the bicycling along rural roads and trails is the best way to experience this area. The longer cycling routes offered each day were through rolling hills with sweeping vistas overlooking olive orchards as far as the eye could see and small white-housed villages nestled in the hill-sides. Andalucia offers many cultural and historic attractions in Seville, Cordoba and Granada that make this a very enriching and rewarding 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!!

The landscape is beautiful, the hikes encompass a variety of terrain and experiences, and the wines are delicious!

Our Guides, Alberto and Pol, made this trip one to remember! Surprises at every bend on the Camino. We especially enjoyed the Northern Coastal areas and the Vineyards (Ribera Sacra) in the mountains overlooking the Sil River. But the cultural experiences really made the trip POP! From the Queimada demonstration to the Pottery making demo at Rectoral de Gundivos, to the Good Shepherd Demo, and did we mention the Paradores! Overall, a great sampler of the Camino, and one we hope to revisit as Pilgrims. Wish we could have spent more time hiking the Camino and less time on the charter bus, but we understand the limitations. Perhaps CW will extend this trip by a few days down the road (path).

The itinerary, trails, meals and lodging were top notch, complimented by the best two guides we have ever had....they missed no opportunity to please.

I’ve taken many CW and VBT trips- Mallorca is right up there at the top ! Wonderful guides Isabel and. Helle made sure everything was optimal even though the weather didn’t completely cooperate. their Plan B museum visit gets my A+. Scenery, accommodations, food, and visits to citrus farm and salt flats were outstanding! Highly recommend
