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.

I had an excellent time. The hotels were wonderful. The food was great. The trails picked for excursions. Were EYE popping?

VBT France and Switzerland 2023 - Great trip in every way! ============================================== Six fantastic days of biking! The pre-trip in spectacular Chamonix was idyllic in every way. The first highlight was riding up the gondola at '' l 'Aiguille du Midi '' to the top of Mont Blanc. It was our first ever bike trip and we thoroughly enjoyed every part of it. We were very lucky to have such perfect sunny days except on our warm-up ride, we were caught in the rain. Easy riding through stunning scenery on rail trails and around lakes, stops in picturesque medieval town centers, great food, and amazing accommodations. The views were spectacular and one of the many high points were the para gliders in Annecy. Look up on your ride. It looked like butterflies coming down. This would be an excellent trip for someone's first VBT experience. Most of the people on our trip had participated in many other VBT Tours and that fact spoke volumes to the satisfaction and high quality they have previously received. My wife and I will sign up for another trip in the future! This was our first trip and will not be our last. Had an awesome time!

Well organized. Bike leaders were super. Great routes. Nice bikes.

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.

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.

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!
