Switzerland

I LOVED this vacation. I am an avid biker; my husband is not; and we both enjoyed the levels of activity and flexibility. The vineyards and villages were amazing to see, especially by bicycle. Jean and Jean Francois took care of our every need, and the accommodations were wonderful. What's not to like?

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

Good sights, leaders and food. Unfortunately got injured on day one which deeply limited my ability to participate in biking. Disappointing and depressing.

The electric bikes made it so easy and the scenery was breathtaking. Favorite part was the pre trip. Places we stayed were first class.

Cruising the Rhine River with Emerald and biking in every port along the way was a wonderful trip. The guides Marjam and Felix were excellent, the excursions along the way were so interesting and fun and the biking scenery was terrific. We biked along canals, through vineyards, small villages and so much more. Highly recommend this VBT trip.

The VBT portion of the trip was 5 stars as always. The itinerary was excellent and our guides were fantastic. I enjoyed staying on the small barges and ships much more than the big ship. To be fair, the ship’s staff was excellent, the room was fine and the food was very good. My biggest complaint was the acoustics in the dining room which made it impossible to talk to anyone who wasn’t seated next to you. Further, we did not upgrade our room and found ourselves on the lowest level near the water line. We heard every vacuum toilet flush and a lot of water sounds that kept us awake. Additionally, the furniture in the lounge was uncomfortable and there didn’t seem to be enough seats for all the guests at once.

Our experience hiking in the Swiss Alps with Alex and Cedric was the very best of any we have ever had. The selection of locations to hike, as well as our hotels, meals, and exact pathways and local people yodeling, making cheese, as well as the local mountain restaurants was absolutely wonderful. The weather was sunny & in the 70’s, even God was good with clear skies. Our guides were patient, experienced and very good company. We are grateful for it ALL. Thank you!

We had a great time on our hike in the Swiss alps. Our guides, Cedric and Alex were personable, knowledgeable and helpful. We enjoyed each of hotels. They were of top quality, clean and comfortable. The breakfast offerings were delicious and staff were friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed the many forms of transportation - trains, gondolas, cog wheel trains, and boats. The experience allowed us to easily find our own way to Geneva for our flight to London. And all our fellow guests were fun to be with. Most of all we loved the beauty and grandeur of the scenery. We sent photos home each day, but none did justice to the experience that we enjoyed. The hikes were well within our capabilities. The tour was exceptional.
