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.

My wife and I and two friends had the pleasure of joining VBT for the Switzerland and France: Lake Geneva, Annecy and Valley of the Alps guided bike tour in early September, 2025. Consistent with our previous cycling trip with VBT it was a fabulous experience. From the itinerary developed by VBT through great trails and beautiful vistas, to the amazing accommodations and outstanding tour guides (Jean Marc and Luigi), it was a memorable experience. VBT runs a high quality operation, thinking through every trip detail and through their engaging personalities and detailed knowledge of the itinerary, Jean Marc and Luigi brought them to life in a special way - making the trip both a physical experience as well as one filled with learning about the culture and history of the area. The meals provided were excellent and the snack table at the morning and afternoon breaks from cycling were filled with a variety of options, from fruit, cheese and crackers, to chocolates! We are already scanning the options for our next VBT ride!

Great in every way. For our first VBT trip we got lucky with the perfect group and tour guides. Cedric and Eve were fantastic. Perfect weather was a surprise plus.

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

I would have given a 5 star, however VBT didn't adjust the ride times for the extreme heat we experienced. Riding in the heat late in the afternoon is never enjoyable in my opinion.

It’s too bad there are only 5 stars - I would give this trip a 10 if I could.

I have been on 24 CW trips. This trip is one of the top 3.
