Spain

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?

This was a perfect trip...Seamless. My 8th VBT bicycling trip and all were good but this one was exceptional because our leaders were exceptional. Great biking, great cultural events and guided tours, wonderful food, very cohesive group of 22 guests who really liked each other every single day. Bravo Javi and Andrea..I hope we meet again!

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 was the first time my husband and I did a cycling trip in Europe and we could not have asked for a better experience! We were VBT fans before making a deposit because their website provided all the information we needed to decide about going with them such as the route, mileage, elevation, hotels, and other things we could see and do. Not all tour companies made such a good first impression! Then VBT delivered with excellent pre-trip communication, fabulous bike routes with explicit Ride with GPS instructions and interesting things to see along the way, plus the hotels were just lovely! Our favorite hotel, Hostal Spa Empuries, which we stayed an extra two nights after the trip was finished because the location on the beach with a short walk in both directions to small towns along a lovely foot/bike path was so ideal. We want to cycle in Greece next year and after looking at many tour companies it is going to be VBT again because we feel secure in knowing they have planned a wonderful trip and they will take care of us. They can even give you a longer route if you want more miles on any given day that works into the schedule. God willing, I don't think Greece is going to be our last VBT trip!

The tour was wonderfully planned with very minor improvements needed. Hotel selection was outstanding, ride support was terrific, chosen routes were thoughtful and beautiful while also being a good mix of hard and easy but still safe, the area is tough to beat for sheer beauty. Travel directions on transfer to/from Barcelona need updating or correction in some cases but hotel staff were able to give excellent directions. Fantastic trip.

The guides were an excellent team. They gave us a realistic description of each days ride and they provided plenty of encouragement along the way. The routes were mainly lightly traveled narrow roads. Some days we saw more bicycles than motor vehicles.

Great routes, beautiful scenery, first-rate accommodations. Another winning VBT Tour! I loved riding 21 miles on the first day. VBT should increase the mileage for the first day on all their tours to match Mallorca. The only suggestion I have is that on the second day there is less than 13 miles of riding. There should be a 10-15 mile ride option for those who do not want to spend 90 minutes walking around Soller. An option to ride the Port de Pollensa to Cap de Formentor route should be offered, too, since we were right there.

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

We love VBT and the best part of this trip was our leader, Manu. He is awesome! All VBT leaders are great, and he is at the top. It was the initial offering of the trip, and some kinks will be addressed, I am sure. Coordinating the boat and the buses (there were A LOT of buses) and biking is complex. We enjoyed the chance to mix with other travelers on the boat. We enjoyed unpacking only once. The Douro is not a river where you can bike alongside, like the Danube--so there is a lot of bus transfer time on twisty steep roads (some complained of car sickness). It is a hilly area--definitely on the "moderate" scale, not the "easy-moderate" scale. Climate always a question-in late April we had both cold (40's) and wet and warm (70s) and sunny. The olive oil mill and winery were good experiences. The archeological site was sketchy.... If you like hills and don't mind the bus, a good trip to some less accessible areas.

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......

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!

Landscapes of the Camino de Santiago was a great experience. I always thought "Seize the Moment" but this trip gave me a new perspective, "Let the moment Seize You". The beautiful scenery of this trip was amazing.

This is a wonderful trip with wonderful guides! It gives you a taste of what it would be like to walk one of the Caminos in its' entirety - I hope to go back and do that one day!

Amazing , challenging hikes with beautiful views. The guides Isabel and Juan Jo were wonderful. I was one of the slowest hikers and they encouraged me every step of the way.

A wonderful deep dive into Mallorcan history, culture and food. Highly recommend this tour!
