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.

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!

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!

Costa Brava
My husband and I booked this trip for his 50th with 5 other couples. To say it was the trip of a lifetime is to put it mildly. Though this was self-guided, VBT was always there if needed and made luggage transfers seamless. The accommodations exceeded expectations. Cannot wait to book another VBT trip!

Great trip to beautiful Costa Brava
This was our first VBT and it will not be our last! We loved the self-guided trip through quaint medieval villages, quiet country lanes, mountain climbs in the foothills of the Pre-Pyrenees, apple orchards, to the beautiful shores of the Mediterranean. We had a great group of 7 travelers we met up with along the path, and for many dinners. We choose the self-guided because we wanted to go at our own pace. Our local hosts were amazing and always a phone call or text away! We made the right choice by going with the E-bikes! We had never tried them before, and they were amazing!

Great trip.
The trip was very enjoyable. The itinerary was well conceived and well paced, taking us to a variety of locations with bike rides that were suitable for bikers having a range of skills. The scenery was great, and the weather cooperated (just a few minutes of rain one morning). All hotel accommodations were outstanding, including the very impressive breakfast buffets and the convenient locations. Our fellow travelers were friendly, cooperative, and interesting to spend time with. The best VBT trip I've been on, my ninth.

Great Bike Tour!
I had a wonderful time on the VBT Andalusian Spain trip and would highly recommend this trip to anyone who might be interested. The scenery is beautiful and the towns we visited had so much history. Our guides could not have been better. They made the trip both fun and safe. I went solo and felt like I gained 18 new friends. The food and lodging were top notch and the rides were totally manageable even for someone who is not an avid rider - but if you have a doubt about your abilities rent an E-bike and your worries will be over!

The many roads to Santiago
It was well planned, had great accommodations and super guides. We experienced the best landscapes of three separate caminos. I give it a 5 in spite of some rainy days

Great experience in Northern Spain with CW
Another great experience with CW, this time in Northern Spain. Top quality guides (who were also a lot of fun), carefully curated walks (including parts of the various Caminos), interesting and authentic places to stay and great meals, especially the fantastic lunches (in places we would never have found). The walks were accurately rated at easy to moderate. Overall, a fantastic vacation - I learned a lot about Northern Spain and had a great time doing it.

Spain: Balearic Islands, Mallorca & Deià
Inaugural tour - meticulously planned.
So much fun. Six lovely days of hiking (I wouldn’t characterize it as “walking”), fabulous guides, great food, and nice accommodations. And the participants were interesting, upbeat, and encouraging. And the scenery — spectacular. Our guides were knowledgeable and attentive and exuded enthusiasm and humor. Enough superlatives? Since this was the a new tour, CW included an extra professional to observe and identify opportunities for improvement. There were a a couple of very minor issues which will perhaps receive tweaks, but nothing of note. We loved the positive attitude of all involved. Also, we appreciated the excursions supporting local entrepreneurs (e.g., small winery, orange orchards, salt production). Looking for the next destination with Country Walkers.
