This was our first VBT trip and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The guides were knowledgeable, positive, friendly, helpful and very professional. The GPS navigation was great. The routes were scenic, culturally diverse, and well thought out. The excursions/tours were interesting too. Recommend the ebike for the hills!

Wonderful trip to Alsace!
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!

Easy cycling with pretty scenery
Easy cycling through valleys. A bit too much cycling on busy bike paths and urban roads for my liking.

Outstanding trip with some shortcomings
This was my third VBT trip. The cycling and beauty of this tour was outstanding, but I felt that there were some shortcomings in comparison to previous trips. There was no local experience of dining at the home(s) of locals, nor were there any guided tours provided by outside guides. The support vehicle had limited snacks and they were only available once in the morning when we stopped an hour or so after breakfast. It would have been nice to have snacks available at the end of the morning cycling or in the afternoon as on previous trips. I still provided a good rating based on the other aspects of the trip.

Rhine Bike and River Cruise: Basel to Amsterdam
This was a fabulous trip and was extra special because my daughter and I were participants. The two leaders, Marijn and Mathilde, were exceptional. Because I am older, they were very supportive and encouraging throughout the entire journey.

Switzerland Zurich/Lucerne
Enjoyed almost every aspect of this trip: awe-inspiring scenery (having near perfect weather certainly helped), excellent guides, great comraderie among the group. I got a good moderate workout with each hike. Kudos to the CW staff who planned the itinerary. First trip with CW where I traveled by regular train/cog-wheel train/ferry and gondola..no vans (which I did not miss). We never waited more than 10-15 minutes from one means of transportation to the next. My only complaint was the room size at the first 2 hotels which were small for me (single traveler). The last hotel was wonderful with a great indoor pool for end of day relaxation. The food at the included evening meals was OK, certainly not gourmet, but the group always had a good time.
