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

Highly recommend - VBT and Alsace Region
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!

We thought the guides were nice and helpful. having done many competitors trips, I felt additional would have been better. I did not like the E-bikes. Big, Heavy and in need of better maintenance. My son was riding and his wheel came off. Shifting gears was a challenge. Again, we had just completed a trip with a competitor and the quality of their bikes was far superior. I didn't like the hotels. Especially our last two nights. The room was full of bugs (all guests seem to have same issue). The best advise we got was not to squish them because that makes to big a mess. Funny but not the quality I was hoping for.

Beautiful and great cycling
Great trip. Eve and Jean Marc were fantastic guides. We rode hybrid bikes and they were perfect. There were only two little hills that were more difficult than easy. The Abby we stayed at was our favorite

Rhine Bike & River Cruise: Basel to Amsterdam
Basel to Amsterdam
We throughly enjoyed our first VBT bike trip. Our leaders (Marijn and Mathilde) were amazing and quite knowledgeable of all four countries we visited. We both used the E-bikes which made the biking super easy. (We do not bike much at home.) The Bike with GPS app was fantastic and you didn’t need to be on cellular to use it. The Emerald Luna ship that we sailed on was great. (Though, don’t worry about which side of the ship to pick your cabin, we mostly sailed at night and during the day when at port there was usually another ship tied up next to us. We were not on the ship much during the day)

Mind boggling!
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!

The Only Way to see Switzerland
The most beautiful views I’ve ever seen. The tour went perfectly with no hitches. The hikes were nicely curated and options were given. The hotels were all amazing with incredible views. The dinners/lunches were planned well with plenty of time for outside exploration. The guides were thoughtful and knowledgeable.
