Switzerland

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

We had an amazing time - And I can't speak highly enough of every aspect of this trip! Our VBT leaders, Sophie and Bruno, were exceptional, planning everything down to the smallest detail. They were a pleasure to be with in every way. We loved every hotel, each unique, and in the heart of a city, with lots to do in the area. Our e-bikes were brand new, and easy to navigate. We were blessed with beautiful weather and enjoyed our rides each and every day. I would highly recommend this trip - it will definitely not be our last. We are already booked for one next year!

The Switzerland and France tour was outstanding! Our guides, Jean-Marc and Eve, were knowledgeable and helpful, and the countryside was absolutely stunning. Although the extended forecast had called for thunderstorms, we had amazing weather every day of the tour - temps in the 80's and 90's. (Rain gear stayed stowed!) Highlights included taking the tram up to Mt. Blanc in Chamonix, cycling through beautiful Montreaux along Lake Geneva, and biking around Lake Annecy. Nearly all of the rides were on dedicated paved bike paths, which made things even more enjoyable. Hotels were great, even though a few didn't have air conditioning. The only down side was not being able to stay longer in Lyon at the end of the trip. Our bus pick-up time for the airport was 3:45 am. This trip was well worth the time and money spent. 5 stars!

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

We had 2 guides that rotated driving the sag wagon and riding with the group. Guides were very easy to relate to, knowledgeable about the area and fun to be with. I would rate the level of biking to be easy but beautiful country's to ride threw on a bike. The ship was top notch in every way. The food, staff and ammenities on board were the best. I wouldn't hesitate to sign up for this trip.

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

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

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.
