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!

Overall a good trip, but areas could be improved upon. I feel like the overall experience isn’t as good as it once was.

One of the best trips we’ve ever been on! The guides were top of the line and the terrain was amazing!

This is an unusual partnership between a luxury River cruise and a traditional bike trip. It has some disadvantages.

Bike and Barge on the Rhine River 2022 A beautiful way to see the countries of Germany, France, and The Netherlands. Float the Rhine waterway at night and ride the pathways through castles, quaint villages, and vineyards by day. Easy roads and lovely fall weather gave us a taste of days gone by. Our guides grew up in Europe and were knowledgeable concerning the history and current customs. We met lovely guests who became instant friends. Thank you VBT!

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!

Had a wonderful hiking trip to Switzerland, starting in Zurich and ending in Montreux—gorgeous scenery, wonderful food and wine and two of the best guides. Claire and Corinne made our trip extra special with informative, fun and well organized hiking trips over five days with pre-trip in beautiful Zurich and a final day in Montreux with its lovely setting on Lake Geneva. The hiking was varied with something new or special everyday. We loved taking the trains and gondolas punctuated by amazing hiking trails. We had a friendly and enthusiastic group, and the hikes were well planned with special events included like yodeling, cheese tasting and alphorn music, which provided interesting local culture. The accommodations were lovely with great amenities and wonderful locations. Highly recommend this tour.
