Switzerland

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

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!

The guides were great and we loved the daily bike trails. The hotels rooms were not great. The hotels had great rooms and we were able to upgrade our rooms at our own cost. In the past, especially pre and post trips we had the best rooms in the hotel; this is not longer true! The airline reservations have always been horrible. You can't book the pre or post trip unless you use their airline reservations. Back when the pre and post trip had a fabulous hotel rooms, it was worth using their inferior airlines. These days I will have to really think out my options.

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

Very small group. Two excellent guides. Boat was nice. Some rides were longer than usual and were after lunch but of course were dictated by the boat schedule.

First trip with VBT and I want to recognize my two guides Majrien and Matt for their unwavering support and patience. Great energy and guidance throughout the trip

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.

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.
