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!

WOW-JUST WOW!!!
I have been lucky enough to travel to many places-in nany styles-solo-with my husband-with lots of family and friends. I never compare places because I enjoy all for different reasons. THIS WAS BY FAR MY MOST FAVORITE TRIP OF ALL!!! So I guess Iam comparing-LOL. The hotels-the scenery-the food-the perfect bikes-amazing guides-and the group itself all combined to make it absolutely amazing!! Consider us VBT lifers-we can't say enough!

Hiking the Swiss Alps
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.

Enjoyed almost every aspect of this trip: awe-inspiring scenery (having near perfect weather certainly helped), excellent guides, great comraderie among the group. I got a good moderate workout with each hike. Kudos to the CW staff who planned the itinerary. First trip with CW where I traveled by regular train/cog-wheel train/ferry and gondola..no vans (which I did not miss). We never waited more than 10-15 minutes from one means of transportation to the next. My only complaint was the room size at the first 2 hotels which were small for me (single traveler). The last hotel was wonderful with a great indoor pool for end of day relaxation. The food at the included evening meals was OK, certainly not gourmet, but the group always had a good time.
