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?

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.

Best Trip Ever!
This was a trip of a lifetime! My mom and I joined the group and were led by 3 amazing guides! Jean Marc, Philippe, and Margot were so wonderful. They kept us safe, kept us laughing, and helped us make great memories!

The Rhine Stuff
This VBT tour was not easy for anyone, as we encountered two days of rain, some headwinds, and a few bike mechanical problems among our group of 24 riders. Nevertheless, we came out of it feeling that we'd had a wonderful, fulfilling, beautifully supported experience, with our team (Matt and Marijn) doing everything they possibly could to ensure our safety, comfort, and happiness. The barge experience was luxurious and very satisfying, but the highlights for us definitely spun around the group rides, the goofy stops (cheese museum and clog factory among them), and the beauty of the landscapes and cobblestoned small towns we rode through. It was an adventure, it was fun and stimulating, and we would do it again in a heartbeat!

Not to be missed... Great Trip!
Terrific trip with wonderful biking, superior accommodations, and excellent guides. I have traveled with VBT numerous times and the trips are always top notch. I have introduced many of my friends to VBT and they must agree, as they are readily signing up for the next trip.

Amazing Experience!!!!!
I am new to hiking and am so glad a friend and I decided to sign up for a Country Walkers. My entire experience from initial inquiry to details and travel was seamless and such a pleasure. Amanda promptly responded to my newbie questions and made me feel at ease. Country Walkers air package was a great choice since literally everything was taken care. All I had to do was show up at the Zurich airport. The other group members were a pleasure to hike with. The tour guides Corrine and Claire were spectacular and went above and beyond to accomodate all of our needs. I had a medical mishap and they promptly provided me with everything I needed to continue with the hike. 5* experience and looking forward to booking my next hiking adventure with Country Walkers!

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.
