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.

Best Bike Trip Ever!
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!

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!

Great daily rides and wonderful hotels
Good riding in an area that pro racers train. The Girona area is a road cycling mecca. Drivers are contentious with cyclists and the roads are bike friendly. The hotels were all epic.

Costa Brava Self Guided Adventure
We just returned from a wonderful self guided trip through Costa Brava. The hotels were perfect, great locations for exploring and wonderful amenities. The routes led us through beautiful countryside, panoramic views and charming medieval villages. Only suggestion would be to search for additional routes as we road the same road section 3x!!!! A few routes were a little nerve racking with high speed traffic, but VBT kept those sections short and we were well warned with the Ride with GPS app. The app with voice directions was very easy to follow. Overall this was a great trip filled with fun memories.

Another great VBT trip! Mallorca was beautiful and all of the details were addressed. The guides, lodging, food and side trips were excellent. Thank you VBT!

Not Just About Cycling
This trip is not just cycling. The olive farm tour, the winery tour, and the salt production tour provided the opportunity to learn about Mallorca. The narrow roads in Mallorca are like scenic bike paths in the US, and there are not many cars. The Ride with GPS app had excellent instructions, so I could feel comfortable riding on my own without worrying about directions (although for the most part I rode with our group). And our 3 tour leaders were awesome!

Great place, and the bike and boat make it better
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.

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

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!

Spain: Landscapes from the Camino de Santiago
The Country Walkers Landscapes from the Camino de Santiago trip was outstanding. Country Walker guides Diego Del Barrio and Pol Roig Iniesta were extremely knowledgeable, organized, and capable leaders. On scale of 1 to 10, I rate both guides a 10. The various hikes and village tours were very interesting and completed as scheduled. The hotel or parador accommodations were all outstanding. Food was plentiful and exceptionally good.

Walk on
As always, fabulous guides but, for the first time in 10 tours, so-so walking that was nowhere near what was originally outlined when I first signed up. Disappointing at best.

One of the Best!
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

Amazing Mallorca
I loved this trip. Mallorca was more Beautiful than I imagined. Our leaders Helle and Joseph were amazing. Joseph knew so much about the area and the history. It was nice to have a local guide. Helle is a fantastic guide. I came on this trip because she had lead the Norway trip that I was on and I liked her so much that I booked my Mallorca immediately after reading from Norway
