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!

Couldn't be better.
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?

Good sights, leaders and food. Unfortunately got injured on day one which deeply limited my ability to participate in biking. Disappointing and depressing.

Great trip with exercise, history and fun!
Great guides, very well-organized, lots of fun, great structure of time with group & independent time. Nice rides with additional options to add mileage.

Bike Riding on a River Boat Schedule
If you manage your expectations and understand your beholden to the river boat's schedule, you will enjoy this trip. For us, it was disappointing to only spend three hours in the two biggest city stops on the cruise. The bike riding was beautiful albeit really easy riding.

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!

Just Do It!
This tour more than met my expectations. The views and hiking were fantastic!! Claire and Alex were made everybody feel very comfortable and made accomodations where necessary to ensure we had an excellent time and the best hiking experience possible. Anyone even thinking of doing this tour - just "do it!"

AMAZING
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.
