Switzerland

This trip was better than anticipated. We expected a great time, but this was outstanding in service, leadership and bike friendliness.

We had an amazing time - And I can't speak highly enough of every aspect of this trip! Our VBT leaders, Sophie and Bruno, were exceptional, planning everything down to the smallest detail. They were a pleasure to be with in every way. We loved every hotel, each unique, and in the heart of a city, with lots to do in the area. Our e-bikes were brand new, and easy to navigate. We were blessed with beautiful weather and enjoyed our rides each and every day. I would highly recommend this trip - it will definitely not be our last. We are already booked for one next year!

Beautiful Ride, Great Scenery, Tour was Fantastic despite several rainy days. Loved riding on so many bike paths, the scenery was spectacular! The pre-extension in Chamonix is a must for anyone doing this tour. Take the cable car to Mount Blanc and have breathtaking views of the valley. Luigi and Eve were great tour guides. Very knowledgeable of the area and routes and very engaging with everyone. Everyone looked forward to stopping at Luigi's Snack Table. The accommodations overall were excellent and the food very good. The only challenging times were riding through the busier towns themselves either at the beginning or end of some routes. The GPS guidance was very good, but traffic made it a bit hectic when navigating in the cities themselves. Highly recommend this tour.

This was a spectacular trip the scenery was lovely the mountains and valleys. The sound of cow bells echoing in the valleys and the bike paths. Much of the trip is on bike paths by blue lakes. This is enjoyable bike trip through lovely county and small towns.

This was a bike and boat tour and I would not take another trip like this. I’ve been on 11 VBT trips before and always loved the experience. This trip however was lacking the cultural experiences of other trips, two wineries and a cheese shop was not up to the VBT standards. Also to be part of 120 other people on the boat limited our experience to be part of a close knit group that we have felt in the past with these trips. The guides were wonderful as usual but the biking was limited by the boat schedule. We couldn’t ride in the afternoon one day because we had to get back to the boat. It was nice to only unpack once and the accommodations were wonderful but not the usual VBT trip that we love.

The cruise ship is clean and comfortable and the crew is very accommodating. The scenery is lovely. The biking guides are friendly and very supportive. The tours are very interesting. Overall a fun trip. With the daily biking you don’t feel guilty eating the delicious food offered.

This is simply a mind-boggling trip. For a midwesterner like me, the sight of the Alps is nothing short of magical (I'm afraid the Rockies will never look the same to me again). Each day's trip is very thoughtfully planned-the walks are energetic without being too technical or difficult. Our guides, Alex and Cedric, were wonderful-very knowledgeable about the area, and culture and history, and shared generously. You will always eat well, and the lodgings are very comfortable.I'd do it again!

What an amazing trip! We saw gorgeous sites, experienced many different modes of transportation, got rained on, hiked in the snow, met some awesome people, had some great hikes in varied terrain, and just plain loved our trip! The guides were great and helped make the trip special. We would highly recommend this trip.
